Going to the cottage for the first time of the season.
Getting away from the city and it's crazy reality.
When we go to the cottage we forget everything we left behind in the city.
No phones.
No TV.
No Drama.
Just relaxation...
And Oreo likes it too.
(:

Yay! Finally I might acctually get to enjoy this weekend.
I haven't enjoy a weekend in a long time.
Painting, moving, more painting, preparing for the house inspection...
This, well deserved one, is for ME.
And I'm looking forward to it.

Lately my life has been crazy buzy and drama filled and it seemed that it just wasn't going to stop. But now things seem to all be falling in to place...I hope it stays that way for a while. We're finally done with the old house. Inspection went well, I think, lol. I'm glad to be out of there...

I've also found myself realising that some people around me have not been treating me the way I should be treated. And I finally, after 25 years of exsistance and spending the majority of those years with my mouth shut, I've decided to put my foot down and put a stop to this recuring behaviour. I will no longer be walked all over and used. It's quite the load off my shoulders.

There's still a couple things I have to deal with but I have to do things one at time...In time everything will be in it's place.

Life is good.

Man oh man!!
What a great episode!! Here's a few things that marked/scarred me:
I could not stand that young girl but she had every right to be angry;
Fin cut his hair! (Looks good but for some reason I couldn't get over it);
The shower scene looked akward/uncomfortable for Olivia;
That C.O. grabbing Olivia's ass *I* wanted to kick his ass;
Table/Face *smack* (I cringed!);
Now the basement scene...just thinking about it, I get emotional. That was defintely difficult for me to watch. I kept screaming for Fin to come and save her. I had a pillow over my face for most of it. Right up until she socked him in the face. GO LIV! Then she runs away only to be found again. *fuck*
She gets beaten up. (cringe again) :(
Him shoving is crotch in her face was another tough scene to watch. I spent most of that scene crying and screaming at the TV. (Stellar performance by Mariska. Defintely Emmy worthy...) That must have been difficult to film. oy What an actress!!
The scene with Melinda was another great one. Where she asked Olivia if she was raped...pause/tears..."It's the closest I ever come."
MAN!!! I'm just stunned by how great this episode was. I will watch it again soon because I missed stuff while my head was under the pillow.
*sigh*

Seriously everything about moving really stinks especially the circumstances which obligated us to move. But I guess that's life for you. All I know is that I can't wait for all of it to be over. Painting, packing, address changing. Double oy! Stressful.
I really hate painting and I can promise you that the new place will not get and ounce of paint on any of the walls. Fuck that shit. I'm the one who has to cover it all up afterwwards. Blue, Red, Orange and Brown are NOT easy colors to cover...what were we thinking?!

Eventhough everything seems to be filled with choas and drama (lots of it) these days, I'm sure it will all work it's self out in the end...right?

Melissa Etheridge is coming back to Ottawa in July!!!
Such great news; I'm super excited.
This will be my 3rd Melissa Etheridge concert and certainly NOT my last.
:) :D
Getting my tickets tomorrow!!! Wo0t, WOot!!

What a busy weekend I just had.
I decided to take Friday off from work because I could. Spent the morning shopping at Wal Mart and other places. When we got home Chris and I decided it was a good oppertunity to attack the choas, which was our basement. God did it ever go well. Eleven trip to the garbage bin later the basement looks amazing. You should have seen it before. Friday night we deserved a nice yummy meal so we wentout for dinner with my family. Boy was the beer good that night it. After we went home and watched some SVU. (duh!) I was exhausted and went to bed pretty early...especially for a Friday.

Saturday was another productive day. I cleaned the entire house while Chris went through some more of her stuff from the basement. We did another 7 trips to the garbage bin. Some from her room ans some from mine. We're on a roll. She cooked us a nice meal and then we watched more SVU.

Sunday was not as productive. Woke up at 10am. Chris and I did breakfast and another trip to wal mart, where a bought a new bathing suit. (our new place has a pool! lol) In the afternoon she went to her pbrothers house and I stayed home and chilled.

Later in the afternoon I found my self quite bored and browsing facebook where I stumbled upon "his" profile. I stared at it deciding what I should do...I messaged him...I've not quite decided if it was a good or bad thing. It was like my brain was saying NO but my heart was saying YES. I pressed SEND...I just said "hi, how are you?" for short. I wasn't expecting him to message me back but he did. And then not long after he messaged me on MSN. It was nice to talk to him but at the same time I feel like I miss him all over again. HE was so nice and caring when we chatted...like he always was. I miss him so much. I've never felt like this...Happy and sad at the same time. He said the reason he didn't contact me was because he was afraid I didn't want to talk to him...And there I was thinking he didn't want to talk to me...We're so damn alike.......One day at a time I guess.

My birthday is in 18 days. :)

Man, I really don't post on my LJ very often huh? Oddly enough I'm here like 10 times per day. I have no idea what my last entry was but I'll give you an update as to was has been and what is going in my life.

7 Months ago I met a guy. We (? I) fell in love and things were great...so I thought. Out of the blue he decided that we should be "friends" and breaks up with me. He said that maybe we just need some time to ourselves and see what happends. Well it's been a month now and I haven't heard a single word from him...Says a lot huh? Not even a "Hey how are you doing?" NOTHING. Moving on...I got an iPod Touch out of it! LOL

Winter is really starting to drain me mentally. It's cloudy and snowy all the time and I just can't handle it anymore. I'm tired of shoveling & freezing. I'm tired of wearing layers of clothing or carrying a scarf, a tuque and mitts everywhere I go. I'm tired of having to start my car 10 minutes in advance in order for it to be warm and thawed out before I leave. I'm just TIRED.

Chris and I are moving out of the Townhouse. We found a really nice 2 bedroom appartment on Brittany Dr. It's much smaller than our current place, so we'll have to do a lot of Purging. We're getting our appartment April 1st but the lease at the house isn't over until April 31st. So that give us one month to move. *thumbs up* Oh! and pets are allowed.

I'm still very much addicted to SVU. (if not worse) Mom got me a really nice SVU sweater for Christmas and I freaking love it. In case some of you might not already know; I *would* go gay for Mariska Hargitay. The writer's strike has been very very loong and painful for me. Especially right after I watched the last episode of what I thought was Season 9. Good news is that SVU is coming back April 15th...48 Days to go!! Chris is also get quite addicted to the show. We started watching it from the begining of the Series. It's fun!! Season 6 is coming in the mail April 1st. :)

That's all I got for now.
I'm going to try and post more often.
This feels good. lol

MimsY!

The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.
Every morning (at work) Dan and I go to the kitchen and get a coffee; and this morning the kitchen was pretty packed with people. 4 or 5. It's a tiny area so we decided to move out of the way and wait until they were done. After everyone got their coffee and left, Don and I walk back only to notice there was no more coffee. Not a single on of them was smart enough to make a new pot...how hard is it really?? OH! But that's not IT...We proceed to making another pot and wait there until it's ready. Take about 2 or 3 minutes MAX. While we're standing there waiting a man walks in with his coffee cup and proceeds to grab a cup of coffee when it's not even ready yet. He couldn't wait 1 more minute instead of making a mess...Don almost lost it on him. By the time the man finished putting cream and sugar in his cup, the coffee was ready. I just don't get it...

There's not much good about it...Winter.

Hello all! I haven't posted here in ages, as a matter of fact neither have any of you! Mel? Kathy? Are you still in the Livejournal world? I will now be using my journal to vent. I do it because it feels great.

Three weeks now. It's been snowing pretty much constantly for 3 weeks. And I must say that I am completely sick and tired of it. OK I get I'm from Canada and I should be used to it...but this is getting rediculous. Three weeks now. We had what, one day of sunshine? Enough already. I have acctually told people I work with to stop talking about the weather around me because it gets me moody. We rencently got 15 inches of the white shit on top ofthe 15 inches that was already there. And we had more of it since then. My sanity is rapidly disapearing.

I work in Gatineau and because my building does not have any available parking, I park about a 10 minute walk away. The city of Gatineau is either trying to save money or they are just too damn lazy. Now we are forced to walk ON a busy street and hope that we don't get hit by a bus or a car...

Now to make matters worse and make me hate winter even more, water is now coming in to my bedroom. Fabulous. Enough already.
