Guess what I did today!


I barbequed pork chops! I actually made fire and then cooked dead pig on it! It ended up being good dead pig too! There were about a dozen pork chops there and four of them came out perfectly. Mom told me to put more barbeque sauce on the other ones and they got kind of burnt crusty on the outside, but were still good.

Im sure those of you who actually know me are wondering why the hell I (me of all people) was searing the pig. By the time Paul gets home from work its almost nine, and I have to get up at quarter after six in the morning, I cant have a big meal that late. So I grilled the swine and Mom cooked rice and opened a can of corn to have on the side. I am quite impressed with myself. Little ole domestic me!

BEST pub crawl yet! A few highlights:

• We actually made it to every stop.
• I was the drunkest I've ever been in my lifetime.
• Amy and Kim came out with us and also had a blast.
• At the new bar, who was there, but my supervisor from work.
• At Rack, I was chatting in the bathroom with my (now) ex-boyfriend's cousin. And outside I got a hug from his Mom.
• Paul ditched me to go with his friends, I dont know how he's getting home. Have fun walking Paul!
• We got all dressed up Hawaiian, with leis and grass skirts and everything. I gave everything away except my glowstick, and my Mom's lei that she had on her trip last week.
• One of the guys in the band at Rack was really cute.
• I probably could have picked up Dustin, but I didnt. Not only because its Dustin, but because Im not interested in picking up anybody right now.
• Oh, and I threatened to puck some guys' face off because he made a comment about my brother. He said it wasnt about my brother, but Im convinced it was, and I really would have pucked his face off. And I dont say boo to nobody, imagine!
  

Day four of "Its Much Too Hot To Wear A Bra".

Pub crawl tomorrow, I cant wait!

Pub crawl is this Friday. Its actually this Friday! Its hard to believe that it's finally here. Besides Janice and I and Susan, Paul is coming, and I got Amy to sign up, and Kim is signed up too. I think we should have a good year this year. The first year that we went was the best year so far, but Im hoping to beat that this year. We've even decided to dress up, Hawaiian of course. Janice and I bought leis (and I have an extra one) and flowers (for everyone) for our hair. We also bought the few glowsticks in the Dollarama, and I have an extra glow headband for someone. We're going all out this year.

Im getting kind of pissed off about my accident settlement. I signed the paper with my lawyer on June 3rd to just take the offer and Im STILL waiting on my money. I called my lawyer today and he said that he is going to do a follow up with the other party and to call him in two weeks. I need the goddamned money now! This is sooo frusterating, but there's nothing I can do about it. Grrr...

But on another note Im wearing a halter top with no bra right now. Why with no bra? Because Its so friggin HOT even in the house that I cant stand the extra layer of clothing. I even had a different halter on before but that one was heavier material than this one and I had to take it off. Sad.

Well I still havent seen or talked to him. Its been a week. I still cant find one goddamned sweater, so once I find that I'll be able to give him his sweaters back (except the black one, he said long ago that I could have that). But as of right now, Im okay, really okay. Im not "ready to jump out into the dating scene" okay, but Im doing fine. I have no desire to see anyone else for probably a little while now. I still have, you know, things in my head that I have to get cleared up. That's enough of that for now.

I never did get to post about my drama at work. I have to share a cubicle now that Im dayshift. There's a guy (Chris) on backshift who sits in my seat during the night. I dont see him at all as he works from 10pm to 7am and I start at 8:30am and never work later than 7:30pm. Anyway, last Thursday I went into work (the night before it was the first time that he had sat there with all of my stuff put out) and my framed pictures (of the dogs) were all laying on my computer tower face down. He actually put my pictures face down and left them like that. I was disgusted. Jennifer (who sits at the other side of my cube) thought it was childish and I agreed.

So I was off on Friday and Saturday, and I went back to work on Sunday and my pictures were up, a little out of place, but standing. I though "gee, this is great, he didnt touch them". I was wrong. Cecelia came in a little before 10am and we were talking and she was saying how the day before her and Debbie (these ladies sit across the isle from Jennifer and I) had seen that my pictures were face down and they were appalled so they put them back up. That made me happy :). So I spent the next two days complaining to everyone that I could about this guy tipping my pictures.

I went into work on Tuesday and my pictures were still up. Now I knew that he was working the night before because the chair was different and the mic was unmuted, but my pictures were up! Then Debbie had come in for her shift and we were talking and she said "Wasnt it a shame that guy tipping your pictures?" and we got to talking about it and I said how they were untouched when I had come in that morning. Debbie replied that the night before she had heard someone go to Chris and make a comment about how I didnt like him tipping my pictures, and thus far they've been left alone.

In other news, I have not yet joined a gym. When I got my GST cheque last week I used it to buy new clothes to wear when I do start going to the gym. When I get my settlement I'll join a gym then. My settlement should be coming soon, I signed the papers with my lawyer about six weeks ago. Im only getting a couple of thousand dollars because Im fully healed (I'll experience flare-ups like any old injury) and wasnt going to fake an injury for more money.

Im watching Oprah and there's a woman on who has had like 25 plastic surgeries, and her lips are WAY too friggin big! Besides the fact that her "before" picture looks better than her current face, I cant get over her lips. I'll be honest, If I had the chance I would get a boob job. Not just because I think my breasts are too small for my body (I do) but I dont like the shape of my breasts. Even if I had a flat tummy I couldnt get away with going bra-less, and I would like to be able to do that with some shirts, especially some bar shirts. Finding the perfect bra for a shirt is not only annoying, but can get expensive.

Pub crawl is next Friday. I have to go tomorrow and sign Paul and I up for it. Janice was signing herself up for it today or tomorrow. Susan's mom signed her up already, and I convinced Amy to come out with us too. I dont know who of Paul's friends are planning on going, but I like his friends, so Im not worried. Im really looking forward to pub crawl, too. There's only two days out of the year that I really look forward to getting smashed, pub crawl, and New Year's Eve.

I had no intention in writing a friggin essay here, but its like I have all this stuff to say all of a sudden. I should really go and clean things. Yay cleaning!

I've been in a daze the past couple of days. We broke up on Thursday night. I said it, I said "I think we should break up". I dont want to talk about it, Im really not ready to talk about it. Im really not dealing with it well, not well at all. Scratch that, I dont know how to feel. Its easier to try and not think about it, really. I havent taken down any pictures or anything, and I have a couple of his sweaters that I have to give back. I get all nervous in my stomach when I think about seeing him again. It would have been easier for me to deal with if he had have broken up with me instead of the other way around. I cant even describe what Im going through, because I cant process it in my head yet. Frig, this post probably doesnt even make any sense. *sigh*

I absolutely LOVE thunder and lightening storms!

I was supposed to go tanning today, but my Mother made me cancel it saying that I had to do all this stuff (that she could have done, mind you), but when I got up this morning I could have kept my tanning appointment. That makes me mad.

I decided that Im going to join a gym. The gym in Dominion has a really great rate going on right now, and I'll have the time to go once I start my dayshift. Plus I really need to get going. I'll start slow at first, and then work up. Mom said that once I start getting into exercising, I have to start taking Emma out walking. I have no problem with that, she's a big dog, and gets hardly any exercise. And you know, its always my responsibility to do anything with/for the dogs. *rolls eyes* But I wont have to walk Molly, not far anyway. She was 9 last month and she gets enough exercise out on her chain, and playing with toys in the house, its the big dog that needs it.

I really wish it would get nice out. I hate it that its always cold and rainy, it was like this last summer. We deserve to have a nice hot summer so Janice and I can take Alex to the beach on nice afternoons after work. We'll have rockin tans, and he can play in the dirt. Yay dirt!

I feel like I need a nap, and I cant breathe well. I dont feel like Im getting sick, I think its just that I need the exercise. *sigh*

Oh, and my toes look all cute and stuff! S gave me a new toering for my birthday and its silver with a butterfly and I have that on my middle toe on my right foot, and I found a pink toe band that Im wearing on my stubby toe (not the pinky one, the next one to it) on my left foot. You'd have to know what my feet look like to really understand that THAT toe is my stubby one.

Also: this is a four day weekend for me. Yay for four day weekends!
