Merry Christmas!

My co-workers and I are anxiously waiting for this day to end.
Year after year the company would graciously give us a pizza party at noon, people would hang around until 1pm, say their Merry Christmas'es' and then we'd shut down and take off early.

I, on the other hand had to stay until at least 3-4pm in an empty quiet office while everyone else was racing to get home or do last minute shopping. This year should be no different even though there was an e-mail stating that we are working a "full day". That in itself should mean everyone has to stick around until 5pm...right?

Umm...think again.

So after everyone stuffs their faces with pizza and fake kisses are made, while everyone laughs and wishes each other a Merry Christmas, I'll be sitting here cursing (under my breath) wondering how long management will keep me here this time around. 5pm? You got it!

Oh, and another thing....The Pointsetta plants.
Rose is such a bitch. The company bought about 20 if not more of these beautiful plants. Most of them sitting by my area, two of the smallest ones sitting right on top of my desk. All were watered by the water girl. Me.
Today, Rose decided to give them away to others in the office which is nice but you would have thought she'd be nice enough to give me the two on my desk since I'm the one who took care of the entire batch for 2 weeks. She gave me a dirty look when I asked if she wouldn't mind that I take the two on my desk. She gave me one.
(Sorry, I can't stop rolling my eyes at this one)
Merry fucking Christmas Rose!

Ho ho hosebag!

No, I'm not angry with anyone but just the fact that I have to sit here for two more days isn't comforting.

I'm also wondering how everyone at Hometown is doing...especially Chris. I sorta left him with the reigns much like Santa with a shitload of presents to deliver. I'm sorry....again. If you're wondering, I'm doing ok...still pugging away, dealing with the little troubles that life brings my way. The girls are well and I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and the lovely Jean a very merry Christmas! My thoughts are with you.

I've been thinking about a New Year's resolution and thus far, although trying to be very creative, haven't come up with anything concrete. I'm thinking about the whole diet resolution but we all know that "diets" don't work....you did know that ....didn't you?
Another thought of mine would be to "chill out" and become a more passive person but that wouldn't last long and wouldn't be much fun when pissed off.
Umm....my third and last option would be to stop smoking. Yep, I smoke but how would you know unless I came right out and told you. I never thought of smoking to be an issue for me since I only smoke about 6-7 cigarettes a day. Pete on the other hand, smokes at least 1/2 a pack which is good considering he was a pack-a-day kinda guy. But, unless he quits with me, it's virtually impossible to leave the nicotine behind.

To me, quitting smoking is much easier than losing weight. With smoking ...you just quit. Cold turkey. I've done it before while pregnant with both my girls. Easy peasy.
With eating, it's a constant. You have to eat to live but choosing the right foods sometimes is hard considering all those delicious options you have.

Like I've said though, I've yet to make a decision. Maybe I should just resolve to stop resolving? Heh he...ok old (bad) joke.

Any ideas? I'm free and open to any opinions. (Ahem..... getting naked in front of you isn't an option.)

A two count obsession....

I'm suffering a two part obsession. Here's one.
James Blunt...this time in action.
I could almost kick myself for not discovering him a month prior as he was playing at the MOD here in Toronto.

It would have been perfect too. A small venue....intimate and personal. By the time I get a chance to see this guy again, he'll be too popular so there'll be no chance in hell to get good seats or even close at an autograph.

Such is my luck.

Christmas is just around the corner and the cookies are flying around here like hotcakes. lol What's with people this time of the year? They all think it's a free ticket to fatsville! All of them thinking it's ok to endulge in cakes and cookies, chocolates and candy. I'm sure they'll all kick themselves after stepping on that scale next month. I guess that's why people make new year resolutions to lose weight after the Christmas season.
I've been offered cookie after chocolate and have politely turned it down. "Christmas only comes once a year" they say.

I've heard many excuses but have to laugh out loud at that one. "Yes, it does." I reply "but do you only endulge in these things once a year?".
They have yet to give me a resounding "yes".

I guess working for the perfect body would be my other obsession. People still think I'm nuts.

The first day of the rest of my life.....

A new home for Trinity and her sad boring life ....lol
I've decided to continue my rants here since I can easily post pics if I like....and this... .....I definately like. LOL Introducing James Blunt. A brilliant 28yr old singer/songwriter. Two of his most popular songs may be heard at http://www.myspace.com/jamesblunt

Ok, enough lusting (I'm sure, with the millions of other girls who find this guy appealing) for now.

Things just before Christmas are stressful but well. The kids both have colds and my body is fighting one as I type. Pete still refuses to shovel the foot of snow in the driveway and I am still on a health kick and working my ass off to get the body I want. Am I vain? I suppose, but show me one person who isn't (just a tad even).

We should all be health concious and watch what we eat and exercise but so few of us are willing to sacrifice to get fit. I don't really think I'm obsessed with diet and exercise but I look at it as more of a challenge to stay away from all that processed, fat laden cheap food that huge corporations push us to buy.

I'm dedicated. I'm persistant. I'm determined.

And with Christmas only 5 days away....I'm fucked.
