A Plea for relief

Dear You,

Well,  Sciatica strikes again and this time it's sticking around a little longer than usual.  I hate to say but this time I think it came about from me carrying groceries etc. home on Saturday.  The embarrassing part- the etc. in question here is a BOX of wine.

Oh my.

I just long for the days of being able to stand / sit up straight and walk around with ease.  Nevermind the fact that I am missing my pilates / yoga sessions like mad.

Currently I am walking around the apartment slouched over like Sofia Petrillo and my best pal is our heating pad.

Even the cat is bored with me, option not to hang out with me on the rare occasion that I am home all day, but instead burying himself under the quilt on our bed.  In a completely separate room.

Maybe a movie is in the cards today.  I usually take these times to watch a movie that Corey wouldn't necessary be into- thus allowing myself to indulge in sappy dramas and rom-com disasters.

Please say there's better out there on Roger On Demand today.  Yesterday's Woody Allen flick (Midnight in Paris) was an absolute flop.

I'm beginning to get a little bored of myself.  Which is quite ridiculous as we all know how fascinating I really am.

HELP.

Love, Me.

And that, my lovelies, is something that really GRINDS MY GEARS

Bachelor p2

This is a sad life I lead if my last 2 blog entries have been about Ben Flajnik's quest for love.

I have a life- I really do.  For example I hit up a sweet pool party for my sister C's Bday on Saturday outside of KW.  (Indoor) POOL PARTY TIME.   Unlike these shindigs in previous years there was no clothes swapping.  Just some kids running around, a few bevies and some bathing suit action.  

The aforementioned kids:  I love them.  I love being an "auntie".  I really thought I despised the lil' creatures, but I have to say childrens are not so bad.  Maybe it's just because the ones in my life are so. bloody. amazing.  

Hilarious, really.

And cute to boot.

There has been a new addition as well.  Fio and Ro have a son of their own now.  He's amazing, this little guy.  I am NOT and have never been much of a "newborn baby holder".  seriously- when mothers assume you want to hold the baby- I'd usually run the other way.  But not baby Chetan.  I could snuggle him in my arms forever.

I am looking so forward watching him grow as I have the other kiddies in my life.

Alrightyyyy enough baby talk.  wtf? my clock better not have magically fixed itself and turned back on!

Back to the B-lor-

Some people have way too much time on their hands.  Like whomever made this!

Bachelor Night Mondays!

Poor C dawg.  We live in a one television home.  It must be evenings such as Mondays that make him regret getting rid of our "bed teevee".

In my defense- I did allow the NHL game to be shown.... on commercials.

Ok back to the women who grind my gears this week-

Aside from the obvious reason to have a hate-on for Courtney- what is the deal with this one always appearing to be eating the inside of her own lip????

What is Jesus name is in there, Courtney?  You always appears to be gnawing on something behind those lil' lips of yours!  Ok, Ok, is it chewing tobacco?  Do you harbor a smoking addiction that PrimeTime teevee won't allow you to fulfill whilst on the air?


Is it skittles????????????????

And this one was probably wins most desperate of the week with her straddle / kissing episode.

For those who have a life on Monday evenings and missed it- Jamie's idea of how to best remind Ben that she existed? Seemingly force-straddle herself onto his lap, and proceed to kiss him- along with full instructions.

All the while she spewed off a number of horrifying, clichéd lines such as  “When I go to sleep, I think about the things I would like to do with you”

Wow.

Why do I watch this horseshit?

....Oh and who ended up winning the Leafs game anyways??

GAYmes night / Countdown to 2012

Well the countdown to 2012 is ON.

We got some good holiday cheer on Thursday night at Joel and Christopher's place.  Sorry, I mean at MARSHALLs place. (I cant believe I failed to take a snapshot of him so here is a stolen one from f-book)

There was SO MUCH FOOD.  SO MUCH delicious food.  Homemade sushi, smoke salmon, artichoke dip, pumpernickel awesomeness, and of course my homemade tartlettes.

We got out the good ol POP 5 game and split into two teams (MAGICALLY selected by Jeff's space phone- there is a website for everything, you know) 

Pop 5

Here are some examples (THIEVED from JENNA) of the array of artists in the house: 

CELEBRITY:  "Carrot Top"
MEDIUM: Play Doh

 

CELEBRITIES:  "The Blue Man Group"
MEDIUM: (Purple) Sharpie and paper

The B-MAN pic was mine.  Sadly I do not have the same (or even remnants of) what Corey has for artistic abilities.  The sad face in the front is supposed to symbolize ME watching the B-man Group perform.  I HATE the BMG, and thought that was a slick hint.

Party Playas

The beautiful (somewhat newly) MRS. I 

Then last night it was ANOTHER fun night with Fio and Ro.

We ordered BIG SLICE from St Clair (addictive) and hung out by the fire log.

Sadly we wont be spending NYE with those two (almost 3!).  So we figured a pre-NYE night was imperative :)

And now.... the countdown begins.  Looking forward to some FREIXNET and Mexican Food with my love, and of course that midnight kiss.  I'm thinking about slipping him the tongue tonight.

I hit the liquor store early to avoid the lines.  Smartest thing I've done all day.

Quick! Liquor Store closed soon!

The cat sees the fridge and sings the NO song:

♫

2011 xmas

Well it wasn't so much a WHITE Xmas but it was great one all the same. We got away for 5 nights this year.

The night before we left was my LAST DAY of work until the New Year and I was doing this:

Work Xmas get-together.....

Needless to say I was a wee tired but in decent form, nonetheless.

C and I got up to his parents on Thursday Dec 22nd and stayed until Xmas morning.

We then made the trek an hour north to my moms and stayed 2 more nights. We had an amazing young lady cat sitting our hairy son so we needn't worry about him.

 

I got my very own stocking at the McG house this year- with my name sewn into it and everything!

 

Corey made Lil Kel and Rob their very own "personalized" treats! Awww and EW!

 

Those slippers emulated RALPHIE

Awww sweet buds

 

Mom and Kel say winking wearing glasses = major fail

"THE TREE"- usually crooked and sometimes known to my mother as a giant asshole (like the year it fell down with all moms glass decorations on it).  Its always a little different- but somehow a reincarnation of the last tree, year after year.

 

Cheers!  This was our 6th Xmas as a couple. I guess because we got together just before the holidays back in 2006. 

I still love the crazy bastard as much as I ever have.

HAHAAH Ohhh ramsay!

ROCKTOBER

Well October was filled with some good-ass times.

C dawgs BIG Bday for one-

I actually pulled off a surprise party.

He was actually surprised.

Pretty epic night. THANKS to the KUMARS for their house.  My apt would have fallen down with all those awesome people in it.

Hmmm what esle?

Oh right HALLOWEEN!

First there was work, where SWEETBUD stole the show!

And then off to KW to BOLTS party

Let's finish this off with a real winner, shall we?

 BAHAHAHAHA

Next up- November (which equals my bday)

Where was I in 2007 when this came out?

Beautiful.

meeting time

 

in a meeting room with a WEBCAM equals this!

lordy lordy.....

My sweet sweet baby has a pretty... significant birthday coming up next week.

Time to spoil him like crazy because HECK he deserves it.

Still looks younger than me though (that son of a ....)! 

We were informed of yet another doppelganger for him.  A new waiter at our local think C looks like the dood from the SILVER SUN PICKUPS-

Let's see then... this means he is something like this equation?

(I threw Elliott in there for good measure.  When we first first FIRST started dating we were at HURRICANEs on Bloor and some dood came up and told C he reminded the guy SO MUCH of E)

(Plus he was a musical genius and I love him)

So news.... Our new thing around the house this week has been to taper off the toilet paper into a point after use, like housekeeping would.

So basically it's like we're living the hot resort life here in Toronto while the air gets colder around us.

Although this weekend does not count.

What is it about Thanksgiving weekend in Southern Ontario lately?

Seriously- 2 years ago C dawg and I went golfing and it was so hot that we ended up in Lake Huron swimming.  

Mid October?  sure, why not?

My IPOD thinks I am a gay man?

Put the old guy on SHUFFLE this morning on my walk to work-

What do you think?
