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!

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!

Feels good to be me.

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.
