Cold Induced Ramblings

I started at the gym again this week after getting the go ahead from my physiotherapist. I joined at my brother's gym so that we could go together and he could motivate me. Problem is, there are hot guys EVERYWHERE. I need to get a shirt made that say "He's My Brother".

I am fighting a cold, and it sucks donkey balls. I want my mom to make me Jell-O and bring me juice in bed.

I'm going for a drink with Building Crush in T-minus one hour. I am nervous...and I look like shit. Am finding it hard to muster up some energy to make it through. Stupid cold.

I hung out with MG#2 last night. I'm pretty sure that I like him more than I should. Also, we are really, really bad at "breaking up".

There is nothing better than morning snuggles from my four-legged little man.

My appetite had been non-existent for weeks now. Great for weight loss, but I wanna frigging eat!!!

I am booked for Vegas for my birthday and New Year's. I am so excited I can barely stand it!

I have started sneaking smokes again. Started out just when I was drinking, but it's progressed to one or two during the day. Must. Stop. Now.

I have about two weeks worth of shows waiting for me on my PVR. I think I just planned my weekend.

I'm wondering if it's possible to overdose on echinacea?

I love being there for my friends when they need me most.

I bought a new down filled throw from Costco yesterday. It is ultra-mink. I'd never heard of it before, but am pretty sure it is my new favorite thing in the entire world. If I could, I would walk around naked for the rest of my life wrapped in nothing but this blanket. It's that good.

I have been listening to the same IPod playlist on repeat for the past week.

Is this day over yet?

Around these parts, busy is an understatement

Wow. I kinda forgot about this here blog thing over the past month...

I, as always, have been busier than a one armed paper hanger.
What's that? You wanna know all the exciting things that I've been up to?? OK!! Here we go:

- Working my butt off, trying to keep my head above water and not drown in the piles and piles of paperwork stacked precariously on my desk.

- Refraining from use of Facebook and Blogger at work, due to stern talk from boss (see above: working butt off to move back into boss' good graces)

- Fulfilling bridesmaidsly (yes, I know, not a real word) duties:
- helping maid of honor plan fantastic fundraiser/stagette complete with cooking lessons, silent auction, champagne & belly dancers - event and consequent hangover were both out of this world
- attending showers for bride to be (times 3)
- working on slideshow for wedding
- attending makeup trials and last night's out as a single girl

- taking the pup to Loose Leashes obedience classes...6 weeks of Saturday morning, 11:00 am...this past one was the only one where I was not hungover...he graduated with flying colors as the instructor lightheartedly poked fun at me for being such a lush. Hey, at least I come by it honestly.

- dating. At the beginning of May, around time of last post, probably about a half dozen dates that obviously never went anywhere. I was ready to give up and just coast along for a while...then, as life always works out, something happened. See below.

- spending a fair bit of time with a new boy :O) ...it's been about 3 weeks now, and so far, so good! He's a lot of fun, and for the first time in my life, I feel like I am REALLY ready for this whole relationship thing. I have not really stressed about it at all, it just feels right. I don't doubt much of anything when it comes to him, yet at the same time, I am not rushing into anything, or putting a lot of expectations on it. We're having a great time, and for now, that's all that matters. Also, it's kind of an odd situation...I met him through friends, and I am committing the cardinal sin of (gasp!) having previously fooled around with one of his friends. Nothing ever came of it with said friend, though, was always just a fun hey-let's-hook-up kinda thing, and new boy was fully aware of it before getting involved with me. That being said, we've been a bit hesitant to let others know about what's been going on between us...a wee bit of guilt, I suppose. That will all change this weekend when he accompanies me on an out of town trip with a dozen of my closest friends. It will be our own special kind of "coming out" party. Hehe.

- playing softball. One night a week we pull a double header, and I tell ya...softball is not supposed to be that much of a workout, but when I get home after working all day and heading right to the diamond, I am frigging BEAT. It's all I can do to change out of my sweaty ball clothes before falling into bed.

- Facebooking. Those of you who use it need no explanation.

- Concert-going. Gwen Stefani. The Killers. The Dudes. All fantastic shows with equally fantastic friends.

- Watching my new TV if I ever find myself with a spare second. 50 inches of pure plasma goodness. I swear, when it comes to having the newest gadgets and electronics, I should have a penis.

- Spending time with good friends & family...the summer months are indeed my favorite. Beers on patios, backyard BBQ's, hiking, lakes, camping, outdoorsy stuff in general. It does not get any better than this.

- Wishing that life would slow down, while in reality, I'm hoping that it won't. I may come home at the end of each day exhausted after beers/dog walks/movies/concerts/baseball/shenanigans, but if given the option, I would not change a single thing. These are the memories that I will hold close to my heart. for years & years to come, my life as I build it.

Eureka, I have found it!!!

About two months ago, my clock radio woke me up with this great song...I remember hearing it vaguely through my sleep hazed ears, but once I woke up and it came to finding out what the damn song was, I had absolutely no luck whatsoever.

I googled lyrics, I sang it for friends and co-workers alike, I even went so far as to call the radio station and sing it to them. Nada. I've had the frigging song stuck in my head since that day, and quite frankly, it's been pissing me off. Pisses me off even more that I had the song in my possession all of this time. Read on.

Today, grooving away at work, iPod on shuffle, and what song comes on?? MY SONG!! I squealed with excitement and ran into my neighbour's office. He didn't think it was as important as I did, but this was a huge event in my mundane day.

Check it out...The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies).

Might not be your style, but you gotta admit, it is pretty darn catchy.
