Just because I can

Here is one of the beautiful bouquet of flower made by SW for the Parish Anniversary. I'm pleased, it is beautiful. Don't you think? She made 3 of these beautiful fall bouquet, 2 are hang onto the big door and one is on the glass wall. She came this afternoon with TFB and helped me to place them in the church.

I'm not an artist and the only reason why I'm not a big fashion faux-pas, it's because I shop at a store that taught me about matching colors, so I wouldn't have been able to do bouquet like SW did. She's talented! If I get any positive feedback I'll tell her about them.




Off topic but The Ex boyfriend called me few minutes ago, puzzles me as t0 why he wants to keep in touch. He wanted to chat and maybe go for a coffee. Huh No, as in hell no!!! I.Am.Not.Interested.


I'm a nervous wreck, I almost puked, I'm a wreck. What.Is.Up.With.That. The least we can say is that I haven't been good at dealing with stress huh?

2. USB smart drive
3. Cell phone
4. Pills (allergy, tylenol, anti-nausea, anxiety...)

I'm not really better, hives are still there. I survived the day, I even babysat for a friend after work until 21h15.

I'm exhausted and need to relax.

Blogging is the new black

Yeah, blogging is the new black, I need a shirt that says this.

I've been reading 2 blogs in the past couple of days. First confession of a college call girl and Belle De Jour, don't follow these links if you don't want to read about prostitution and it's daily stories. Very interesting read. (to those I linked here, if you want me to remove you from a catholic blog just email me)

I'm sure Annoying Liturgy Lady would have an attack to know that *I* am reading sex workers stories. Yeah Fuck off! Go spread your gospel of hatred everywhere, it's really working, The Church is full huh? :::sarcasm:::

How was my day ? someone asked me...

Fine, I directly went to The Church this morning, didn't stop by The Office. I dropped my stuff and went to The Coffee Place to buy coffee for my 2 morning partners and I. TFB arrived with a sleepy look which made me giggle. He really looked like he'd just stepped out of bed. We totally did what we had to do, the banners were hang unto the ceiling, 50 something foot in the air. We took pictures of our Patron Saint statue for the Parish priest and moved the MDF panel to get what was behind, then back to the office.

I say "oh my god" at least 50 times a day, it's part of my vocabulary, it's part of how I express myself. Every time I say "Oh my God" when TFB is there, he says "Nah, call me TFB" . Like I called him God. Each time we giggle and everyone present also does.

Sometimes I wish I had a father like him, that would have make such a difference. Yeah, a girl can dream can she?
I'm in freaking pain due to the rash, that hasn't disappeared as of YET. Boo Fucking hoo!

Can I just say that I despise power-trippin jerks that are controlling, condescending and plain mean. Honestly, if power turns you on, leave us the fuck alone, you aren't at the right place obviously. He wasn't like that.

Enough of that already, I need a chill pill, wish I could have a beer but it wouldn't be a nice mix with the numerous benadryl I've been poppin.

A few questions for my readers...

I'm speaking to my few readers, those with a blog (and the others). Do people in your real life know about your blog? Would you like friends/coworkers/family members/acquaintance to visit your blog and read what you have to say?

For those of us that blog anonymously, without our name or location or a picture or details that would make us easy to trace back in real life. Do you worry that you could be traced back to your real life? Why do you blog anonymously? How would you react if you were "found"???

And for those who post with their name/location/picture, why did you chose that?

I don't use my name (too many freaks) or my precise location, nor do I post information that would make me or my workplace easy to find. I don't blog about anything that I would be in trouble if people IRL knew about. I wouldn't post anything that I wouldn't want to deal with in my every day life. Sure, I prefer to remain a faceless person on the Internet BUT if my coworker read my blog, they wouldn't be shocked or I wouldn't be in trouble. Same for my friends and anyone. Still, I prefer to keep my private information, private.

Make sense? Tell me about your privacy choices.

The Mother was could have been right

I have a rash, related or not to the codeine I took this weekend. I'm sure it's NOT related because it appeared only this afternoon and it freaking itch. I'm in a benadry-induced fog.

The area of my cleavage, my boobs, my arms and my neck are victims of this freaking rash.

So, we'll be doing the project tomorrow morning very early, we meet at The Church at 8h30. Hopefully this will go smoothly. We net to finish what we started, photograph the statue of our Patron Saint (required by The Parish Priest) and try to remove a MDF laminated panel off the confessional to remove the candles because we'll be needing them with the visit from the cruiseship people (whom are arriving into town this coming Saturday).

So this week is going to be crazy, hopefully everything will be in place for the new season of the cruiseship visitors. We shall see! A big employee meeting was called by The Parish Priest for tomorrow afternoon.

Have a great evening!

Stories from today

I actually did stuff today, surprising huh?

I had to place a call at 10h30 to know if we were going to do this today, turned out that it was postponed to Tuesday which is fine. So at 10h34, I look at the clock and think "I could go to mass,fuck shoot, it starts at 11h00, it's 9 mins away from here, I'm in my jammies, fuck shoot, OK, lets get ready". I made it in time, looked okay I guess. Many friends were there, TYP was the one presiding the celebration, it was beautiful and funny, TYP's homely are always interesting.

I begged few friends to go at The Restaurant for brunch, my usual partners had their kids at home so I preferred to let them be together, because you know, family time is important. So finally 2 parishioners that I'm not close to but kinda like (the guy is sweet and fun, she, on the other hand is kinda slow and very gossipy and you know how I feel about gossip) and it was okay. I went for a long walk along the water, stopped by a friend's house because he had computer troubles and stayed there for dinner.

I'm now very happy at home. I met with The Historian this afternoon and we talked a bit.

Tomorrow is a holiday! That's freaking good, it means I'll sleep in!!!!

Quiet night!

I'm soo lazy tonight I'm totally relaxing and letting go of the pressure of the last few days. I took a long walk this afternoon, went grocery shopping with a friend, watched a little bit of TV and that's it. I'm in my jammies and you can't make me go out.

Last night I went to Bigger Town with friends, had a cool evening and I got back home pretty late. Because of some pain I'd been having for a week, I took some Lenoltec #1 , it has codeine in it. I hadn't had codeine in almost 20 years because The Mother said I had a rash after taking it, anyway, it was a vague souvenir but taking it was fine, took the pain away for few hours and kinda knocked me out made me a little sleepy.

I almost went to mass but the thought of seeing some people triggered my anger and frustration all over again I decided to stay home and maybe will try to go tomorrow morning.

There's also a possibility that I'll try to do this again in the afternoon, Maintenance person sew the banner back to the original length. If TFB can swing it, we'll do it in the afternoon, if not, whenever he'll be available.

There's not much on freaking TV and I don't want to get dressed and put makeup on to go rent movies. Oh the laziness! Guess who's the sorry ass eh?

TGIF!

Yup Thank God it's Friday. Why thank Him? Well He's the one who gives me strength, He's my light, He's the source of all things.

I'm thankful for the wonderful friends I have.

I'm thankful for my great co-worker The Passionate One (TPO), she rocks.

I'm thankful for TFB and SW

I'm thankful for the job I have, for a roof over my head and 3 meals a day.

I'm thankful for being healthy

I'm thankful for having God in my life

I'm thankful for being the strong woman I am today, I'm thankful because I went through hell and actually survived and I am happy.

I'm thankful for being alive...

I'm thankful for all of this and more....

Are you thankful for something? Believer or not, it doesn't matter. I have friends who don't believe in a God but still are thankful. What are you thankful for?


On the topic of last night, I am in a pretty foul mood, that's why I decided to do a TGIF entry, so that would change my mood and lighten my spirit. It worked.

What a freaking evening!

I had such a fucking evening, my PAC meeting sucked. You are surprised uh? I'm posting a sad face because I hate how these meetings are making me feel. I hate to be a bitch and I hate to be stucked in someone's passive aggressive behaviors.

I can't believe how hurt I feel after a meeting that is chaotic and negative. I'm like a freaking sponge. it's like it all gets into me.

What hurts me the most is that people who claim to follow Jesus Christ and preach that The Parish should be a community of "Warm welcome, Celebration and forgiveness" yeah cool words but what the heck do they mean for people who are the one making trouble inside of The Parish? What do these words mean when they aren't followed? How is that not complete and utter hypocrisy?

There's few rotten apples, the majority are good people. Like AF, TYP, TFB and SW and many of those that make the world a better place by being there.

I need to let go, I can only control and change Me, I can't expect anyone to follow my beliefs because they aren't me. Annoying Liturgy lady drove me bonkers tonight and I played her games.

On another topic, more positive, the printing project was approved!!! Hurray for us! Anyway, tomorrow is Friday and the beginning of a long weekend!

A little more on Annoying Liturgy Lady...

I was thinking this afternoon and evening while at church that anyone who knows me in real life and that lives in The Parish would know who I was speaking of, this made ma laugh and realise that annoying lady was aggravating many people not just me. Yup, I was thinking that if TFB, SW or TYP were reading this, they would instantly know who little Annoying Liturgy Lady is.

Guess who came by the church tonight and was surprised not to find me alone and was shocked that I had a ride home? Yup, He came over. Honest to God, I'm not interested and it creeps me out. If he's back for the same reason, don't worry he'll get a couldn't be more direct message of totally NON existent interest.

What's up with men huh? I'll talk to SW about it. Maybe she's going to have an answer for me. Oh and tomorrow night, there's a meeting of the PAC. Oh my God! It's going to be long and will make me want to drink.

Some people alive only because it's illegal to kill ..

I'm soo angry, I want to slap someone. There's a member of the liturgy committee that is a real PITA. (Pain In The Ass)

She's stubborn and always persists on doing what SHE believes is the right thing. She could care less about anyone's opinion unless they are saying what SHE is saying. She's always freaking frustrated, she's a mean gossiper and if she decides that she's going to whatever she thinks because she's freaking stubborn. She's a real bitch really annoying.

What did she do today? She one more time went against the wishes of the Parish Anniversary committee to do what she fucking wanted to do since we discussed this.

It had been strongly suggested to her many times that at the last mass to celebrate the parish anniversary,the altar service, the lectors and the Eucharist ministers should be done by the members of the Parish Anniversary Committee (PAC) . It seems fucking easy to understand huh???

Well, you'll be surprise to hear that she didn't listen and only did what she wanted to do.

But you know what? I'm going to fight her tomorrow night. I'm going to fight her for the principle. Honestly, it's not because she's taking something away from me because on that day, I'll be working with the cruiseships visitors. I'm fighting her because she's gotta be fought sometimes and because the people in the PAC deserve to be doing the service on that day.

I'm going to fight with all I have and believe me, I'm stubborn too. This is going to be terrible, the members of the PAC do NOT know yet that she once again ignored their demand. I say once again because you can imagine how hard it is to work with her? She's been doing crap like this for almost a year.

I'm glad she told me while on the phone because I would have slapped her face to face or would have had to refrain from slapping her.

TFB is on the PAC, I can't wait to tell him what she did. Speaking of which I need to give SW a call, haven't heard from them since the weekend.

A Wednesday morning slice of life...

Guess who went to bed at 18h50 last night? Yup, you are right, I did. Guess I was tired huh?

I woke up after more than 11 hours of sleep, in a good mood, ready for the rest of the week. I love my new hairdo, my hairdresser is not only talented but very sweet and funny.

So, does anyone have a slice of life story to share with me this morning?
