Today I was MOSTLY sipping tea as I read a horrible book.
It was horrible, but reminded me very much of me little sister.
The story is weak, but the lady lives in Angel (in London) and that is where my sister used to live. The main character is a 30 year old single woman who is surrounded by her best friends who are MOSTLY gay.
I was MOSTLY sporting little socks today as my feet were well frozen.
I also removed a whole lot of shit off my computer today and can now open email and my blog from home instead of rushing during the day at school.
And then I MOSTLY sweated in another spinning class.
Tomorow promises to be an interesting day, and in code I will reveal the potential explosions that will occur. (Bet you can't wait.)
Someone will be getting a fab new cocktail dress in the next few weeks. I wonder who?

This weekend I was mostly belly dancing with the ladies.
Pictures to follow.
Very fun for those of you looking for a fun afternoon activity that will lead to hours on entertainment when the night gets a little older, and the drinks start to take their magic effect.
Today, and yesterday I am mostly trying to make decisions about this weekend.
The lovies are in exams this week, so good times on all our faces this week.

Another busy weekend at Mum's.
Entertaing 20 people in honor of Grandma's 72 birthday.
We had chinese food from the Mandarin, and it was very odd, as the last time we did that was when we had the family over after Daddy's funeral. Very odd, but I didn't want to say anything to upset everyone.
Lisa, Dave, and gorgeous children made it over as well. They are all so cute.
Also went for a fab girls night out on Saturday, but managed to spend a little more than I won at the casino. I really wanted to win some cash to buy the girls all new pairs of fab shoes.
Exams are only 7 days away, and I am very excited to start a new semester.
Have a fab day :)

Today I will be mostly wearing my new pony shoes. I even named them "My little Pony".
And my new jeans from Club Monaco.
I say mostly, as Seestor says that adding MOSTLY to any sentence makes it sound more important.
I will mostly try to do this, for at least a day or two.
PS Had to sit beside this grunting man in the Spinning class last night. God bless him for doing the class. Just imagine a 6'2 German man, grunting away on the bike. GROSS. And then imagine trying not to laugh. I am so mean sometimes.

I want to know why people are obsessed wtih clearing the driveway.
I can't understand those who need to see in the middle of winter that the driveway is still there and it is still black.
These are things that I do not understand.
Even more so, why someone would park in my driveway over night on Saturday so that I could not go out with the girls.
Very strange indeed.

Seems like the standard way to start off the new year...
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Santa was tremendously generous this year. Many goodies to report, the favorite of course being the movie star shoes that my seestor brought from England for me. I am truly ready to go to the oscars or something equally spectacular. ( www.kurtgeiger.co.uk) Thank you baby!!
Sarah and I are continuing our tour of posh hotels. We spent some time when I was last over at the Sanderson Hotel (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g186338-d188005-Reviews-Sanderson-London_England.html), and over xmas we sampled The Drake Hotel (www.thedrakehotel.ca). Very fab if you are looking to have a dirty weekend. The shower has great potential what with the glass walls and spotlight.
The hotel also sports a great lounge that makes excellent martinis. My favorite being a toss up between the espresso and pear. The highlight of the night was a girl franticly banging on the door at 4 in the morning asking if we had any "stuff", or if we knew where she could get any "stuff".
Back to work yesterday was cruel punishment. The rest of the world got to stay home, but we and the students had to return. No problem, I will take it like a trouper, as I have many weeks of vacation on the horizon.
The end of the semester is coming quickly, I have to catch up.

My life reached new lows last night.
As there was a snow squall last night, and I don't do delivery, I had to look for dinner.
Now, you know that sad single person's fridge. The fridge that has NOTHING in it.
Well that is soooo my fridge.
I had oatmeal for dinner. YUCK. And then in an attempt to make it taste better, I put a handful of M and M's into it.
Never Again.

Well hello celebrity bingo.
I can officially make my first entry into the game.
I was at the One of a Kind show on Saturday.
Was buying these cute rings for certain people for xmas. Having made my choice I sauntered up to the cash to pay.
And low and behold, Jeannie Becker from Fashion Television.
Now, I have always known that I have good taste. It was just reconfirmed as someone who talks to all the hot designers, was buying from the same designer that I was.
Also made a new addition to my shoe collection. A beautiful pair of pink aligator lace up kitten heals. My family is growing.

Today I got out bitched.
Last week I said something that was not nice, and felt guilty the minute that the words slipped out of my mouth.
Then today, the victim that I had created, out bitched me.
Suddenly, I did not feel so guilty anymore.
And know I am the vicitm.
Some things feel real good!!!!
REAL GOOD!!!!

This weekend was all about the "Third Annual Blender Party".
There were many drinks, lots of ice, and only one plant that got knocked over.
There are pics forth coming, and I warn you that there is a little butt, I mean little bit of nudity.
And it is not me.
In the meantime, you must try this.

The strangest thing.
When I woke up this morning, I went to the bathroom and did my thing. As I was puting on my face (as grandma) would say, I heard in the background a commercial.... They weeble and they wobble but they don't fall down.
I know that we used to laugh at this commercial, but I couldn't remember why.
Then it hit me.
Ryan used to drink so much that he would weeble and wobble but he never fell down.
Ah the memories of my 10 year relationship.
Tee hee.

Empty promises.
That is what I despise the most in other people.
I remember this guy I used to date, accused me of cheating on him. When it was he who had kissed another girl. I told him, don't try and misplace your guilt upon me. I am not guilty. You are. (This is when I was 16)
I also read somewhere that the things you are most sensitive that other people do to you is infact because this is what you most do to others. An interesting thought.
I think that I am full of empty promises.
Must find a way to dela with that. LATER
I have been very busy of late. Much I can't talk about, as people love to tallk. But needless to say I am been there and done that. And have decided that I am looking for My Prince in all the wrong places. I think that the Saturday night local bar will have to make way for some more swanky places. Courtesy of someone near and dear, I have seen the light.
Spent the weekend with my two aunts, my maman, and grandmother and granfather. While grandpa slept, the ladies went out to put a dent into their xmas shopping. And then Grandpa had to take us all out to dinner. Brave man. It was fab to hang out with them all, and even better becuase I do not fit into the adult gift selection category. I am an Adult when it comes to cleaning dishes and the kids have to clean them all, but am not an adult when it comes to buying gifts for everyone. (which I do anyway). La vie est belle.
And might the mystery man from the other side of the ocean have finaly made an appearance? Will have to wait for the details.

What not to do.
Dye your hair and then rinse it out in the shower.
If anyone had walked in they would have thought that a murder had been committed.
Either that or I had major bleeding going on.
Alas, the shower curtain is now streaked, and the walls got a good wash down.
On another note, bags packed, purchases made.
YIPEEEEE

Another week has come and gone, and guess where I am going this weekend.
To another wedding.
But, it is an interesting one. Auntie Sandra's son is getting married and I am going with Maman. Should prove to develop some scandal I am sure.
From the bitter bus, it is amazing how quickly women through away friendship once they get into relationships. Too bad.
Have a great weekend.

Why you should not drink and play volleyball!!!!
Poor Frank. His first appearance at our school after moving to a new one. Playing against us, within the first minute of the game. Serves the ball into the net, and being dramatic he dives onto the floor, and lands on his face and cuts his upper lip with his own teeth. To the point that within seconds blood is gushing, swelling, and in my opinion, stitch worthy. Poor Frank.
On a lighter note, my team one our pool. by far the strongest team, stacked with 5 players and me. I am getting better. But my game got worse the more that I drank. Why is that?
An ugly day here. There is thick fog, and rain. Good day to just stay in bed.
Or, go shopping.
Or should I save my pennies for when I go to England in two weeks?
Hmmmm

I think that I might be back from the dead.
Well maybe just for today.
Things have been a little heavy on the emotional side.
Have been busy attending weddings, and stagettes, and baby parties. All the while being thrust into the land of commitment and relationships, and wondering how people do it. Have also made some great realizations about people that I don't need to make space for in my life anymore.
Basketball season is in full swing and the girls are playing well. This will be our best season by far, and we are thrilled. The sad thing is to see them grow as players under our supervision and then move up to play at the senior level. I guess that is just the way that things are to go.
We have booked our trip already for March Break and will be heading to the Dominican Republic for a week. God help that resort. I'm not sure that they are ready for the girls. I of course will be the most tame and innocent out of the whole group.
I am sad though as that is the week that I usualy go to spend with my sister, and I really want her to come and join us. However I am not sure where she will be as she is talking of moving and then staying in London. It is an interesting journey.
Testing week for the 10's this week so there is great excitement over the test that they will be writing over the next few days.
I am working on yet another course to upgrade my credentials. And have finaly sent off my paperwork to get a salary increase. That money is already spent.
Although I have been so good lately at not spending money. I think I might have mentioned that while I was in my car, and it felt that it could then afford to ask for some loving. $500 later she is running like a kitten. Only needs $600 more and she will be up and running like new. I think that it is time for me to think about that Mini cooper or smart car that I NEED to have.
final thought:
Yan asks where I think I will end up (career wise)
I say jokingly, "Where ever the good Lord leads me."
Yan says, "He will probably lead you to Trinity Common."!! (The local shopping conglomorate)
Oh, wise Chinese elder!!!!
another final thought.
New obsession
Starbucks Chai Tea Latte. WOWZA!!

I wonder how many times I can be kicked in the teeth by someone before I realize that they are not worth my time or energy.
This has been another challenging weekend for me.
It's really hard to hold your chin up when you keep getting blow after blow laid down on you.
Why am I always letting people with such negative energy drain me?
When will I find the strength to rid myself of people who just repetedly cause me pain?
It's that damn broken wing syndrome. People come into my life because they need some one to care for them. And the minute that they are stable again... the fly off shitting on me as they leave.
That seems to be the theme of this weekend.
