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 :)

Someone's watching

Yeeahh...so I don't mean like a stalker or anything.  What I actually mean is that I drove to my piano teacher's house only to have my tire basically fall off my car.  I started my day off with having another one of my famous blabbering meltdowns and waiting for my hubby to bail me out yet again.  Does anyone remember what happened to my last car?  Oh yeah....It went something like this:
Ewa driving down to work on hwy 2....(Yes...I am referring to myself in third person)
Ewa notices the car is making funny noises...
Ewa calls hubby tells him about car making funny noises...
Hubby asks questions and tells Ewa to try to make it to work...
Ewa calls hubby again telling him the car is making more funny scarry noises...
Hubby asks few more questions and tells Ewa to call him as soon as she makes it to work...
Ewa calls hubby to tell him the car is smoking on the side of a (very busy!) road...
Hubby asks where Ewa is and tells her to start the car and try to get it to the parking lot a few feet away...
Hubby comes, looks under the hood, Ewa starts the car.....kills the car
Hole in engine size of Ewa's fist...
end of car...
Such are my stories with my vehicles.  Luckily I was able to get a ride to work with piano teacher, since I work with her and hubby took car to mechanics. 
Moral of the story...
Ewa drives cars that die but she always has someone looking over her :)
The end

Staycation over :(

So nothing major happened in the last few days.  Yesterday I felt a little bit blah which propelled me to have a bath and go to sleep for almost 3 hours in the middle of the afternoon.  After my nap I woke up and just went back to sleep again for the whole night.  Something was off with me and I guess my body was just telling me "It's ok, just sleep and I'll have yo back".  I still need to clean my office, paint, send thank you cards and clean our bedroom but I had a busy day today so that makes up for me not doing these things a bit.  Even if I didn't accomplish everything, it got me on a very good track.  I needed these days off and I'm hoping that in the future I'll be able to get more like it.  On Friday Daniel and I, together with some friends, went out for sushi.  I absolutely LOVE sushi and am ever so glad that my sister got me hooked on it.  I love my little food baby that I get after sitting and stuffing my face with all the different food the sushi place offers.  Today the girls and I had a little get together and we had psychic readings done.  I did not get one done simply because what will be, will be.  I don't want to think about anything good or bad and pre-occupy my mind with that.  I prefer to wait and see what happens.  It was fun, though, to be hanging out with the girlies.  I'm still a bit ugh but that can be due to me going back to work tomorrow.
I'm going to see what damage I can do in my bedroom before going to bed....or I'll just wake up tomorrow morning to do that and go to bed and read my books.
I'm le tired

Staycation: Day 4 and loving life

So, I didn't do as much as I wanted today but it was still a good day off (then again very few days off of work are bad days).  I did some cleaning, some running around, visiting momsie briefly, my in-laws, and Kevin our friend :)  Today, overall, was a very chillaxed kind of a day.  Not too much stress etc.  I guess that counts for a successful staycation as well .  Right now I'm enjoying sitting on the couch with hubby while he plays his games and I do some blogging etc. I'll clean the rest of the home tomorrow.  I'm really not looking forward to going to work already and I still have 3 more days off. What can you do I guess.  I'll see if I have some more eventful things to blog about tomorrow.

Staycation: Day 3 and Val is awesome.

There is no other word to describe this morning other than, cluster fuck...It was basically the...if it CAN go wrong, it will.  I had a mini breakdown but by the mid afternoon it was all coming together again.  I enjoyed being around my house and doing some yardwork as well as starting on my housework.  After my hubby came home I basically started doing my running around and went to do some shopping.  After that I went to my mamus's house and waited for Gabby to show up to try on her dress that my mom is doing some alterations to.  After Gabby left I headed on home to wait for Val to come over.  :)  I love hanging out with Val.  It is effortless and she is simply delightful to be around.  We had some good laughs.  We enjoyed some pizza from the local pizzeria and watched some shows.  We were both super stoked that So You Think You Can Dance is starting again TOMORROW!!! :D  That is one of the few reality shows that I enjoy and watch from episode 1 to the finale.  Hubby actually went to bed early which was a shock to me but I understand because he had 2 busy, stressful, physically exhausting days.  Val and I watched Conan for a while and now I'm blogging about my day.  I think I'm ready to hit the hay as well.  Another busy day tomorrow!!! I still have to paint rooms, tidy my office and write shitloads of thank you cards.
Here's to staycations haha.

Staycation: Day 2 and thank Jeebus for my licence

So my Tuesday started way early due to the fact that I had to go for my piano lesson.  How are my lessons going you ask?  (I'm going to say it anyways, even though no one asked :))  Well, I get there and then I play my scales...and I crumble because I don't practice enough so I self depricate myself for the period of my lesson and my poor piano teacher has to listen to all of that.  I'm sure her ears are bleeding a little each time I get there.  The pieces that I'm playing for my exam (which is on June 16 O.o eeek!) go as well as I prepare them.  If I managed a lot of practice time, they go splendidly...if not...well we go back to the whole self depricating part as well as the mumbling idiot comes out and we're having a party then.


My Pianers...<3


After my lessons I went to the bank to deposit some money into my account.  I was really paying attention too when I deposited 40 bucks instead of the 60 that I actually put into the envelope.  That was super fun (and by super fun I mean WTF??)  After some more FAIL moments I decided to head on home and go on to Kristin's to finish the mural I started there. 
After an hour of trying to get the hell out of the house I finally managed to get to Kristin's and have some realxing painting time.  I am quite pleased with how it's turning out and I believe Kristin likes it, which in the end is what matters.  I can't wait to see the final finished product. 

So close I can taste it...

Once I was done at Kristin's I packed up, went back home to change, and went over to my mamus's house.  I had some din din there and spend some Q time with my motha.  Showed her the wonders of Youtube, which she thought was awesome, and then at 6:30 I was on the road once again to go back to my piano teacher's house.  We had a get together with some ladies who are also her students and we played for eachother.  I kept on doing the whole "Woe is me" lamentation and was sick and tired of listening to myself.  I don't know what everyone else did while I was doing that.  The night in the end was a personal triumph though because I kind of got better at playing in front of a listening public.

After the evening, I drove back to my mom's house, got some beautifully smelling Lily of the Valley and drove back home.  I ate, I played piano some more, and now I am blogging :)
Day three was successful and sponsored by the letters D and L...without my driving licence I would kinda be screwed.

Staycation: Day 1 and My Love of Youtube

What a wonderful way to start my staycation!  After finishing watching movies with the hubby last night, I remembered that I stumbled upon Polish cartoons on Youtube.  I decided to see if maybe it would have some of the Polish movies I remember watching as a child.  What do you know, it DID!  I don't think I can describe the child-like wonderment and excitement I felt when I saw "Czarne Stopy" (Black Feet) all over again.  Last time I remember seeing that movie was back in Grade 1 or so at the movie theatre.  The movie is based on a book.  Just to give you an idea of what the movie is about I'll give a very brief synopsis.  It shows many adventures of a boy scout pack, named Black Feet, while attending a bivouac with their boy scout troop.  It's a cute kids movie.  I simply sat there glued to my little netbook screen with this stupid grin on my face.  I finished watching it this morning and then decided to keep on going down the memory lane.  I simply adore Youtube for giving me this little gift. 

My day 1 of staycation started off great.  I had my green tea in my herbal tea mug while watching my Polish movies (Yes, I have a specific mug for that, given to me by my LuLu).  During all this time my hubby was playing Black Ops on PS3 on the couch beside me.   

Mr. Frog chilling in my cup.

After my Polish movie break, my hubby and I watched a movie together.  I know...we watch A LOT of movies.  That is actually a very special time to us.  We don't go clubbing, pubbing etc.  We like to sit at our home and relax together.  This might seem boring to some but it's perfect to us.  Before the movie I also made us crepes.  Oh yeah, you heard me right...I make crepes and they are pretty good if I say so myself.  I am awesome like that.  Once the movie was over I decided to go and have a nice, long, relaxing bath.  One of MY favourite ways to de-stress.  I put my little bath pillow in, turn the ipod dock station to some tunes of my "mood' choice, bring my book along and settle in to a nice chill zone.



My chill station



This time around I couldn't decide between the two books that I'm reading so I decided to bring them both.  I always have my phone on me as well.  If I don't feel like reading, I tweet, FB or play games on my phone.





bubbles!! Oo



These would be my vanilla scented candles that I light during my bath and one of my favourites bubbles for my bubble baths.  I am quite aware that it says Shower Gel on the bottle but that's because I bought a refil at the store and by mistake I put it into the shower gel bottle. 

After all the bathing, I decided to do my toesies again for the week of my staycation.  I decided for a sparkly red colour called "Red Carpet" by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. I think I put too much pressure on myself because I had to re-do my big toe 3 times before I just say "Screw it!" and just left it as is.

Then my hubby made us delicious dinner, which I practically inhaled and now my stomach hurts like a motha.  TUMS or Pepto...here I come.  I have a very busy Day 2 of Staycation therefore I shall go to bed soon.
