Birdhouse in your soul

This is what C made for my Marmie and her hubby for Xmas. It's a Birdhouse that resembles an Outhouse!

Now, the weekend-

Saturday night Kathryn and I jumped into our "pontiac" rental car and headed Westward, "Kitchener-Waterloo- here we come!"
Got some running around accomplished and headed to Linwood to NIKI'S RETURN-FOR-THE-HOLIDAYS-FROM-ENGLAND all chick's sleepover.

Had to leave C at home- you know- because of the whole penis thing. He was just fine. Watched the hockey game with the cat and made himself a juicy steak.
(I have to commend the boy. He NEVA eats the stuff)

The night was welcomed when we played charades with Niki's mom, and enjoyed some intriguing convo and copius amounts of wine and food. Delicious smokey cheese, pizzas, and sweets. Yummers!

Niki's mom has some really great stories. Her partner and her have been on some really wild adventures together and as you can tell from this next pic- I just love hearing about them.

We then made our way to the basement to chill, play the funnest boardgame, "Personal Preferences" and then get in sleepmode and watched fell sleep during a weird movie where Chrstina Ricci has a pignose.

I can't believe Xmas is almost here. I am still reveling in my 30th Bday from a month ago. BTW, I received this late gift from Katty Pants. It looks JUST like our little hairy son, Doesn't it ????(face blurred for his privacy my bad camera phone)

How Gay!

Went out last night with a couple of the boys from work to STATLERS on Church Street.
It's open mic night, and it's a nice small bar with a piano.
As per usual, a few aging fags got up and did their thing. Complete with drag man whom kept stopping her song to point out my cleavage:

"Wow- nice cleavage!"

"They're real, too- Aren't they??"

Kyle played a diddy on the piano with the singing girl I would most likely have a femme-crush on- If I wasn't so not-into-the-puddin. She has the voice of an angel I swear to GAWD.

Bad quality YOUTUBE video HERE

Our Pizza Pizza dinnnr-

Sat on a big fluffy think in Kyle's apt building-The is the DQ that weas obsessed with my cleavs-

And......To top off the night- we chatted up this one:

Oh Orser!

PLUS WHO love it when your pal pretends to be snapping a picture of you, when in reality they are recording a video?
NOT I!

PAYBACK

THIS is what happens when you torment your co-worker.



See said tormenting below:

Instant messaging at work

(12:47 PM) Krista: I added a lil diddy about ZACH EFRON in my blog
(12:47 PM) KARL: lool
(12:47 PM) KARL: he's sexy
(12:47 PM) Krista: hes 13

Bah Humbug

We're sponsoring a family at work. Well we're sponsoring many families at work.
Our group just happened to get the greedy family.

Seriously, when I though I was helping people at need- I'm thinking warm sweaters and food goods not High School Musical gear and dvds!

Like what the hell?

Oh I know, why dont we just get Zach Efron to take your kid to the movies or something?????

Ho Ho Ho

LARS TRUNG?

THIS so reminded me of LARS AND THE REAL GIRL,
which ya'll should see if you have been living in a cave and have yet to!

2 years

This is the multi-media text I received from C today.


Jameson's Irish Whiskey and two boxes of the MEATLESS meatballs I adore oh-so-much.

Tomorrow is our 2 year anniversary.

Thanks as always to the Tap on Bloor Street for providing the Jagermeister shots / liquid courage it took to ask C to come home with me and "play guitar"

Am I ever going to be "well"?

I am home today. This cold (or whatever it may be) is really starting to Grind my Gears, man.
I decided to stay in bed this morning and sweat it out. Today I will overdose on tea and hopefully get some echinacea to boost up my immune.

Oh who's this handsome devil, you ask?
That would be Joel, the newest addition to our fab team at work.
He won the METRO PHOTO CHALLENE last week. Doods, a $5000 camera and A TRIP FOR TWO TO PARIS !

You go, Joel. See it here.

C is on his way home and we will have eggs and toast. My energy level is shit right now. More later.

AND PS why is noone even guessing who that messed up kid is, a few posts down?

A storm, she's a brewin

WOW. There a buttload of wind outside my window right now. Rat-a-tat-tat-tat.

I hope C gets home soon so we can sip Jamison's and eat the DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN CHILI I have cooking in our Slow Cooker as I type. Complete with Vegetarian "ground round" so it's still MEATY.

I'm not must of a vegetarian, really. I mean I started this diet at the tender age of 13 and a half. Back in the day I never even craved "meat". Now that there is Fake Almost-Meats everywhere I crave the meaty-goodness daily.
Plus I eat fish now. So basically- I'm a total hypocrite.
I started out eating Oysters, Clams and Mussels. My motto was NO EYES. (except in the case of the POTATO- which was pointed out to me a number of times during this period)
I suppose in a way I have been making my way up the food chain. I stop here though. NOOO CHICKEN etc.

I don't work until 12 pm tomorrow. 12 - 8 Blech.
I suppose I get to sleep in, and miss all the drama on the Bathurst street car that tends to go on in the moring rush hour(s).

I got C's XMAS pressy taken care of. Just stocking stuffers to go! (OH, and my entire family)
I never start shopping early. I like the rush I guess.
Thanks to Alicia for shopping alongside me on Saturday. We "lunched" at the Mall in SEARS.....Yeah, thats right the Sear's restaurant. While the Eaton Centre Food court was surely a bustlin'- we enjoyed sammiches and soup for $6 amounst the greyhairs!


Oh yah and we almost LOST IT on some broad at the SEARS Restaurant. The nice resto worker was assisting her and she lot it on him cuz they had no WHITE MILK for her sick WHITE MILK childrens:

"Are you serious? NO white milk? For kids!????"

And then when he was about to riung her in shes all:
"I am not even CLOSE to being finished yet!!!"

It is my true belief that both A and I had to try pretty hard not to say / shout something her way.

Stupid ugly broad.

Who needs a Jaw Harp?

Apparently CHLOE does.... Both Alicia and I bought her THE SAME JAW HARP for her Bday.
What is it about C that screams Jaw Harp, I wonder?
Plus it is freaking hard to learn. The instructions are on extremely fine print and seem impossible!
At least the Kazoo I also purchased for her is straight-forward.
Everyone can hum, riiight?

On another note, last night at the HIDEOUT, Mark and I mis-heard Vish, and we both heard "I need a "Pork Belt".
PORK BELT rules!

Fry day

good day all.....

It is a very gloomy Friday here in Toronto. The sky is this one-hue whitish colour. Absolutely no vibrancy to this day- whatsoever.

What grinds my gears today are girls who talk too loudly to eachother on the street car. YES WE CAN ALLLLL HEAR YOUR EVERYYY WORD, thanks but NO thanks.

ALSO People who speed down my uber-residential street and almost hit myself and cats with their automobiles.
HOWLAND AVE IS NOT A SHORTCUT.



to keep with the fun-who is this?




Off to the HIDEOUT after work with some work pals for a gal's belated Bday.
Woot!

Skinny jeans and babies

I am wearing my "skinny" jeans today!

I have not been in them for months and months.
I think after last winter I gained some weight They SHRUNK.

Thanks to C for his magic. To perform this magical feat at home- Basically you:

1. Wash the jeans
2. Stuff with Tupperware, pots and pans- anything you can find to Stretch them out
3. Lay to dry
4. Wait one day
5. Giddy Up
   

VOILA! I can get them on! And my arse looks as tight as Joan Collins' 75 year old face!

On another note- Recall the wedding C and I attended in the Dominican Republic in March? Well the loverly couple happened to CONCEIVE A CHILD during our time there- and my pal Sarah just had a GORGEOUS little baby girl!

CONGRATS!

How Unfortunate.

Alright peeps. Name this kid.

cool dog

Lennie is 13.

She is a Sheppard-cross (unknown).

She is available for Photo Shoots, small roles in plays and movies.

GUESSING GAME

If anyone can guess who these kids are- they win!

cats, dogs, being 30 etc

This is what I spent my day with yesterday.


I had a mad sore throat and so I decided to chillax and get better avec Jackson.



Oh yah, my 30th bday Do I look older and wiser?
We had a shin-dig at our place in Toronto on Friday. Packed the apartment completely. Good times.
Next day arrived at my sisters to this spread (which included Applewood Smoked Cheddar cheese- yum)

Had a delicious meal of Spaghetti and Meat(less) Balls. Then mommy made me a cheesecake!

More Sugar!
My sister's doggie even dressed up for the event!
And then, Ethels Lounge. Please remind me ONLY A BLACK BRA WITH THIS TURTLE NECK FROM NOW ON
And on a side note- C and I finally made it. We have our pic displayed on a table at Kilgours.
It only took about 2 years + about $6,000 in beers and Jager shots ;)

Wo hoo

Hallowe'en Revisited / Bday party

Here's some Hallowe'en pics. First one: Cheech and Chong (AKA Marta and Jer). They were at an event the night before this one, and when they were apart, people thought that Jer was John Lennon, and Marta- Super Mario (??)
And this one- My sister, the Bounty Hunter, her hubby (who's dressed up as his best friend- judging by the tye-dye I am guessing circa 1993), and then Krista the Croc and Corey the Croc Hunter!


Tonight is my TORONTO Bday Party.
Tomorrow is KW Bday Party.

This week has been full of lil events. Wednesday night- Work peeps took me out and then last night was the IRON AND WINE concert. It was great. The sound was amazing during the acoustic performances.... and didn't even cry once, as C predicted!
I am off to get my hair done so I can look lovely for my pals!

30

Happy Birthday to ME.

Working today- walked into a LUSH gift on my desk, and an owl card, balloons and streamers.

Feels good to be me.

Bday pressy

Check out the design on my NEW TEE SHIRT. First Bday present this year!

.......Came in the mail for me from Jesson. I wore it to work today.


Hoot. Hoot.

bday

Where can i take my BDAY crew next Friday (Nov 14th) out?
I despise dance clubs, and dig smaller scenes etc.

I like shit like Shake a Tail at Clintons... but alas- that is on Saturdays.

Any advice, Toronto?

heeelp.

um, hi

I am the worst. It's been like a month I know.....

Hallowe'en came and went. C was "the Crocodile Hunter" and I, a "crocodile".
Chilled in on Friday night with Wayne and Garth -drank booze, played POP 5 etc. and then Saturday DRAGGED OUR ASSES (literally) to Kay Dub for a house party. My sister was Dog the Bounty Hunter:


Unfortunately I have no other pics of the festivities... yet. But we did pose for a bunch with Corey furiously biting my tail. Should be good.

The weather is amazing right now. Wish it would stick around to welcome me to my 30s. This happens next Wednesday. Friday night there will be fun times in Toronto at our place and then somewhere AND THEN KW on Saturday for yet ANOTHER party. And at this event--- my mommy will be in attendance!
Behave Waterlooians, behave!

The pumpkins are still outside from Hallowe'en. There are like, a million in my hood. There are also about a zillion squirrels in my hood- and every morning this week at 7:30 am when I am walking to work, I smile and watch the furry little bastards eating the pumpkins like candy!
I wonder if they'll poo orange.
In fact this brings up a rather good (??) point. I have NEVER seen a squirrels poo. I don't think anyways.
Anyone else? Comments or concerns???

Hmm, what else? I'm boring I know. I wish I was going on a cruise with A and J. (Well and with C of course.)

I suppose we'll hafta wait until February: TAMPA!!!!

AND NOW... presenting... LARGE JACKSON:





the end.

Oktoberfest was Wunderbar

I went to KW solo on Thursday night, Corey had to work.
Drank beers, and jagermeister. Slept in a KING size bed with Jenny and her dog Lily.



That pic is me and my friends lil sis. I recall her being like 12. But now she's like 6 feet tall and gorgeous and probably 24. Scary shit.

The next night I went to one of those Tupperware-esque parties.... except they were selling candles.

I was the girl who drank a bottle of wine to myself, did not buy a thing, but still left with some free shit cuz I won seme prize!

HAHA
The I went back to BOLTS... watched funny youtube videos...like this one!!

Bedtime- spooned her, her cat and Lily the dog again (as she was sitting her overnight)

Whaddaweekend.

My dream

I had this very strange and surreal dream last night, that Lennie- my sister's dog was jumping in and out of a passing streetcar.

MY MORNING

Wedding etc.

Wedding pics-

Here's the happy couple who's wedding we were at on the weekend. I swear- I believe that couple's that look alike are actually a better match. These two are simply irresistable!

On another note- THIS is what happens at my work when you come in the morning of your Bday: Let's just say I can't wait until November 12th-
