Antsy in the pantsy

For the first time in a long time I am getting very restless when it comes to my job.  I feel like I am waiting on that "Dare to be great!" moment.  I am bursting out of my own skin because I want to do so many things.  I love the fact that I have great peeps looking out for me and allowing me to spread my wings a little bit.  What I mean by all this mumbo jumbo is that if they come upon an opportunity that would be perfect for me, they let me know about it.  My friend Tiffany of Librarianista was kind enough to let me know of a wicked opporunity to paint a mural at the local hospital's pediatrics centre.  I go into this fully aware that they just might NOT pick me to do this but it's great to take a chance and put yourself out there.  The first thing I did was ask my fellow artiste Victoria of The Tor Diaries if she would be so kind to lend her artistic abilities to help me out on this project.  I was extremely pleased when she said she loved the idea.  Today I had Victoria and Kyleman over at my casa to come up with a concept and a plan of action for this little doodle.  While Kyleman played black ops with the hubbs, Tory and I came up with an awesome idears together.  It was actually quite scary and at the same time a no brainer how the two of us were constantly thinking the same thing and totes on the same page.  I adore Tory and Kyleman and it was super fun to have them over.  Hopefully we can get together next time when I don't have to work the next morning and we can have a few brewskis together.  Once we come up with the concept drawing and all I will share our wonderful idears.  Up until then mum's the word.  Hope this weekend will be a stellar weekend to all.

My body a.k.a big wreck

Sometimes I am not too pleased with what my body does to me.  I have seasonal allergies.  Except they don't just happen in the summer..oh no.  You see, they happen all year round.  Now I must admit, they have gotten better ever since my visit to the specialist but when they hit me...wow.  I mean the inability to breathe and the snotty nose and the sinus headache it is all just wonderful...and by wonderful I mean not really.  Oh and I am also allergic to dogs and cats.  My hubbs and I had a English Setter for 2 whole days and my eye was swollen and red with little water pockets in it.  I know what you're thinking...mmm attractive.   
The other way that my body is so wonderful to me is my sensitive stomach.  I get amazing stomach aches from eating the wrong food, to drinking the wrong liquids, to stress.  Stress....kills my stomach.  I wonder what will happen if I have a kid.  I'm pretty sure I will be a wreck.
AAAAaaah and then...there's the headaches.  The debilitating headaches that I get and at times with something as simple as change in weather it's ridiculous.  Naturally I need to take lots of Advil when that happens, which in turn gives me one of my stomach aches...wonderful isn't it? :)
HOWEVER even though I have all these things happening to me I must admit I count my blessings by being born with all my appendages, generally healthy and all around a-okay.  These are my thoughts for today.

Sweet sweet pillow

Seriously this is ridiculous.  I am up and for no other good reason other than me doing my pedi and watching Dawson's Creek.  The sad thing is that I'm watching Dawson's Creek on DVD so it's not like I can't watch it tomorrow.  Oh...and yes.  I LOVE Dawson's Creek.  This show is my youth here in Canada.  The constant banter between Joey/Dawson/Pacey/Jen, their fantastically ridiculous mature and vast vocabulary, the love triangles....AAAaaah.  I am looking forward to the last episode where the right people end up together (ahem Pacey and Joey) 

Teehee <3

I had my eyebrows waxed today and I feel GREAT about it.  My dear Natasha ( my hubb's cousin) is responsible for making my crazy eyebrows somehow manageable.  I am excited for the make up session I have booked with her on Thursday. 
Keeping with my previous ever so exciting post I will show you my toesies!  After this I have to go to bed because I will most likely bitch and moan tomorrow about how little sleep I got. 
I bought new nail polish called Mint Sorbet by Xtreme Wear by Sally Hansen.  I tried the leopard spot look not really sure if I love the way I did it but here it is.

Purrr...grrr

umm...scuse me?

I apologize if my grammar is off but I've been going on little to no sleep lately and I think I would sound like a broken record if I said, yet again, how busy I find myself.  I feel like I am constantly cleaning, organizing, being Suzy Homemaker and all around awesome me.  I wouldn't be able to recall particulars too much but I'll give you a not so brief accout of what happened in the past little while.  I gave myself a new pedi and I have my co-worker Candice to thank for the idea.



Meow...

 I used Viva Pink from Avon (did I mention I love Avon? :)) and Black out from Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear.  I am addicted to doing my nails.  I think I'm going to get a few more tomorrow!  This makes me a little too excited. 
My BFF Lucia came down and her and I along with my Hubbs and couple friends went to Brooklin Fair.  Aaaah, the rides, the food....the carnies...the hillbillies.  There was meat sold by the foot, pickles on the stick and ever delicious FUNNEL CAKES!!!!! Who doesn't like Funnel cakes?  People with no tasted buds?  I went on a total of one ride and that was more than enough for me.  I refused to go on any rides that I knew for certainty would make me throw up just a little in my mouth while on them.  Later we waited on Leila to suit up and become super cop lady to man the beer tent.  After standing in the line up for a total of 15 minutes we decided we were too old for these shenenigans and decided to go home.  All in all it was good times.

Monkey see..Monkey do

Following that there was the Bowmanville Ribfest.  YUM!  I apologize to the PETA/Vegetarian/Vegan lovers...I really do, but they were yummy.  The ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw AND blooming onion all were superb.  I almost got tempted to get a fried mars bar but I chose to opt out of the heart attack for that day.  I did however get a funnel cake and it was delicious!  I didn't go on any rides or play any games but that was a-okay by me.  I enjoyed myself and now I'm looking forward to doing it all over again at the Oshawa Ribfest. 
I am currently reading the second book of HP saga.  This challenge is coming along very slowly but hopefully I can pull a few all nighters and get it all done by the time the movie comes out.  Recently I haven't even had an iota of time to read and the moment i get to read a book I fall asleep.  It's been crazy busy lately.  I also want to finish reading "Bossypants" which is absolutely hillarious.  Tina Fay is THE MAN.  I highly recommend reading it.  I pretty much laugh with every single turn of the page. 

I also have done some pedicures for people and hopefully will do some more in the future.  I have an appointment with a few girls and hopefully I can document it so I can post all the pretty toes on here.  Another great thing is that it's fiesta week!!! :)  The parade was yesterday and it started a whole week of super-fantastic-awesome food.  Hopefully I can keep up with the writing a bit more. :)

Busy Bee Busy

Do you feel like you wish you could stop the time sometimes?  I don't mean because you want a vacation to last forever or you want a particular good moment never to pass.  I just wish I could sleep whenever I want just by stopping time.  I know, lame isn't it?  Genie pops out, says "POOF!  Your wish for freezing time is granted", and what do I do with it?....take time to sleep.  Dream big Ewa...dream big.  ANYWHO...this weekend just like any other day, was pretty busy for me.  Lots of running around, cleaning, spending time with friends.  LuLu came down from Calgary and I got to spend some time with her on Saturday (LuLu is my bestest best friend for LIFE and I've known her since highschool).  We enjoyed pickles on sticks, crazy cotton candy guy, and meat by the foot at the Brooklin Fair.  Ah the sweet sweet visions of hillbillies...never gets old.
On Sunday we spend some Q time with my hubby's bro and his fiance.  We ate delicious sushi and I cradled my food baby for the rest of the day.   I also enjoyed a nice Sunday walk with my little sis and watched a God awful movie with my sister in law (note: Greenberg sucks major arse.  It should come with a warning label which says '2 hrs of your life that you'll never get back")  To counteract the effect the movie Greenberg had on my life, my hubby and I went to see "X Men: First Class" on Monday.  It was pretty much a fun-fricken-awesome movie.  I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats....seriously though it is a wicked cool movie. 

I talked recently to a friend about reading all the Harry Potter books and how we will have a Harry Potter movie marathon one of these days. (Yes....I am a HP fan...what of it?)  I didn't think it would be possible to catch up on all the reading I have to do before seeing the last movie but one of the student pages from my work assured me that it can be done.  According to her, she read all 7!! books in just one week. ........Challenge accepted :D  Well, I will give myself to July 15th to read all those books, which is the date the last movie comes out. 
AIGHT peeps (or peep depending on how many of you are reading this shtuff)  I am outtie cause the screen is turning funny colours right before my eyes, the wash is done and I need a shower cause I stank.

Wedding/beach bod...here I come

Is it bad that I am working out more as a bridesmaid than when I was a bride? Honest truth is that I was born lucky enough to have a good metabolism and I never really had a problem with my weight.  Trust me when I say that I DO NOT take it for granted.  I have this love affair with food and I'm sure you would see me on one of these TLC specials "Ate herself into a coma" if it wasn't for the fact that my mother passed down her ever so wonderful genetics.  When I watched "Eat Pray Love" my favourite part was when she was in Italy eating all that wonderful food and getting too big for her jeans.  I literally salivate when I see cooking shows or any movies with delicious food in it.
I do work out though to feel good.  I also don't work out in a gym but do my working out outside or in the house to DVD's.  I feel more comfortable that way and then I can go straight into my bathroom and have a shower skipping out on seeing naked peoples everywhere and getting foot fungus from public showers.  Today I had a fab workout to the DVD "Women's Health:  The Wedding Workout". 

It was easy enough for me to follow and I had a sweaty ass to prove it.  I am going to enjoy a nice shower now and go for a loverly sunday walk.

Murphy's Law...a.k.a My Life

So you know how you hear that funny story of a girl getting her little visitor the day she decides to wear white pants...and you think "Oh my GOSH! That's effin hillarious!".  Then it happens to you and you think "Really?".  That's what happened to me yesterday.  Thank GOD I have emergency tools at work just for such events.  I managed to avert a disaster just in time.  I got to go home early due to the fact that I almost passed out and puked.  Haha...that was fun.  I am also pretty sure that I was high as a kite driving home due to the copious amount of advil that I took.  I came home and passed out on the couch after taking some more drugs.  Moral of the story:   When you are close to that "date", do not wear white...anything :)
