Enjoying life...

Yeah, that's what I'm doing and also trying to finish everything before Monday because i won't have much free time. I finished installing the windows insulation kit this morning. All windows are done.

No one replied to my request for a boyfriend, so the hell with all of it, I did it myself and even took the garbage out. TFB and I did laugh wed night when he said that if someone replied and said they were interested , they'd be pathetic and kinda creepy. Like a man who posted an add for "a girlfriend to cook him dinner and do the laundry, nothing else, no sex, nothing" would get one... We giggle thinking about this.

I went to get books at the public library this afternoon and I'm watching my friend's kids tonight. I love the monkeys... So I'm going to play auntie tonight, the monkeys warm my heart, they are adorable, both of them. :::heart:::

Tomorrow? Grocery shopping and cooking, dis is crazy. Big Multinational Company has a place for the employee to eat, microwave but no cafeteria or machines, so it's bring your own lunch and it's not close to anything, you can't just run to the store so I'll cook lunch and freeze the for each lunch and buy yogurts, apple sauce snack. Anyway, tomorrow is food shopping and food preparation and Sunday is the last cruise ship in town. TFB, SW and I will be there ALL day.

I'm doing good, still very very happy about everything, I can't wait for Monday!!!

13 things I bought in the last week...

It's another week that I have to do my TT on a hurry. Time flies for sure. I'll do it on things I have bought in the past week. I sure did spend a lot of money, it's insane but with the new job, getting everything ready, I had to. But whatever, sorry for such consumerism, I'm usually not much of a spender (well not that bad).

1. A MacBook, I bought the 13 inches 2.0GHz. I got it this afternoon, I researched it yesterday, called this morning but I had doubts, but this morning I told The Friendly Boss (TFB) about my project and it confirmed me in what I wanted, what I needed. I kinda needed some type of paternal approval. I got the 3 year warranty, so with the apple 1 year it gives me 4 years of warranty.

2. Clothes... For the new job that starts on Monday.

3. A window Insulation kit. Similar to this one, for my patio door and a kit for the other windows. This thing has cut my electric bill for the past 2 winter.

4. Candles... I love to have scented candles...

5. Cat food... Mr.Cat has to eat ya know!

6. Greeting cards for my friend's kids and a "Thank You" card.

7. I got sexy panties again yesterday... It's claudia's fault!!!

8. Motrin IB

9. Grocery food; Because ya know, a girl has to eat eh?....

10. A scarf and mittens ... they are soo freaking soft to touch.

11. Clinique Makeup

12. Herbal tea

13. A movie theater ticket. I went to see "Michael Clayton" last Friday with a friend. George Clooney was so freaking hot!!!.

I feel a bit ashamed after seeing my list. I will refrain from spending money in the next week, I have everything I need. Have you had to buy a lot of things/clothes when you got a new job? Anyone have wisdom to share about any of the things on my list?

Shopping spree stories...

I am insane, I went shopping for more "career" orientated clothes. I lost my mind this afternoon I think.

It's SW's fault!! Nah, I'm kidding, it's because I spoke to her this morning and wanted maybe to visit them but they had stuff to do which is fine, so I decided to go shop for clothes, for the job. I enjoy shopping, I love it, I didn't need anyone to twist my arm.

Went to my favorite store, bought 3 tops ( 2 blouse, 1 3/4 sleeve, 1 long sleeve and 1 awesome cashmere sweater) and 2 dress pants (black, dark brown), 3 pairs of socks and a pair of tights. Bought Clinique Makeup shouldn't I deserve samples and free stuff because I give them free advertisement? A fake pearl necklace. And Oh. My. Gosh. the sweetest winter scarf with the matching mittens. Got some crap at walmart because ya know, is it a trip if you don't end up buying crap at walmart? Nah, didn't think so.

I have to be at The Parish's office tomorrow morning, they are going to do a little "goodbye party" for me. I have to pretend not to know because our coordinator called with a fake reason. She invited me to celebrate someone's birthday but she doesn't know I'm aware it was celebrated 2 weeks ago. I told The Friendly Boss (TFB) tonight that I knew they were doing this and we decided that I wouldn't ruin the surprise so I'll pretend. I think it's very sweet that they're doing it. TFB will pick me up in the morning and drop me at the corner and I'll walk the block left to be at the office. He's sweet to pick me up. And I have an appointment with my hairdresser. That's cool eh?

I stopped at The Church for the 16h00 mass, took time to pray and thank Him for everything good. I thought of Vixen's job interview while at church. It had been a long time for me to go at a weekday mass. I was glad I went.

I'm on the process of putting my "windows insulation kit". One window done, 4 left. It's one of the few time I wish I had a boyfriend to do the job, that and the garbage.Anyone interested in a sexless relationship? You'll take the garbage out, install the electric thingy and put the window insulation kit on the fucking windows.Like I said, that's it. I'm not available for more.I know, I know, that's why I'm the SOL who is doing all of it. I could ask many guys to do it, like TFB, AF, TTF, TYP or even The Seminarian but I am able to do it, so I do it.

So as I'm watching Law and Order SVU, I'm posting this. I think that's all for now. Whacha up to?

PS: Anyone listened to "Shake that Ass" from Eminem? I like that song a lot.

Soo excited that I can't sleep...

Yup, roll your eyes all you want, all you can. I can't freaking sleep, I'm way too happy. I'm over thinking this because my brain can't shut down. Jeez, I just put water in the thingy to make myself a herbal tea to relax.

I was in bed tossing and turning! But I know I've got every right to be that happy. This changes everything, this job offers stability, long-term, not temporary, not as long as we can scrape money, no, this changes everything.

The "good night" tea is infusing in my mug as we speak. Hopefully this will calm me down and help me sleep. God, I'm so happy, thank you, thank you, thank you. Tomorrow, if it works with them, I'll go by TFB and SW's house, I'll show them my contract, chat and enjoy this happiness with people who've helped me tremendously for a long time.

::does the happy dance:::

Totally off/topic but I learned today that fishy died on Saturday, I think he just never recuperated from the lack of oxygen. Sucks that I was a part of what led to his death huh Poor fishy, poor friend who took him. Just wanted to let you guys know the news. Spiderman is doing well, happy, alive, being taken care by his new family. SW isn't a fish killer!

More thoughts and rambling on the job!!!

I'm incredibly happy, my heart has wings I swear. That's how I feel. It's an amazing feeling. I signed my contract at 16h00 and I start on Monday.

I've spoken with everyone, each friend that has been supportive, loving, present. I'm just very thankful and appreciative of the new opportunity and I'll do well. I'm beside myself with joy, it's unbelievable. If I didn't refrain, I'd be jumping with joy everywhere. How freaking cool is that?

Bear with me, I'm just happy, content, joyful, thrilled, thankful. The social benefits are absolutely incredible!!! My God, thank you, thank you, thank you. I haven't ate much because I'm on the adrenaline rush, I don't know if I'll sleep well cuz I'm excited but my heart has wings... But I'm delighted, happy, life is fucking amazing!!!!

I've got the job!!!

Got the phone call around 13h20, I've got the job!!!! Big Multinational Company has hired me!!!!

I'm going there at 16h00 to sign the papers, I'm so fucking excited, it's unbelievable. I told my artist friend, got a hold of SW on her cellphone (she was incredibly excited, as in cheering), she'll tell TFB.

Thanks for the prayers, good thoughts, positive vibes, thanks for the support and to all my friends. Love you!!!! I need to go get ready, I was still in my jammies when I got the call, I need to look at my best! Guys, I'm so unbelievably happy! God is good, my friends are too. Life rocks!!!!!

Sunday's everything and nothing...

I've got many little stories to tell you. Most of them would fit in the "Slice Of Life's" category.

I got up at 12h30 PM, I slept late with Mr.Cat, we cuddled and relax and rested. Boy did it felt good. My freaking throat still was painful and my lymph node swollen, so I decided I'd call the nurse line for an advice as to what to do, when does one need to see a Dr for swollen lymph nodes (think laryngitis or tonsillitis).

Me: (describing symptoms, being totally rational, as a matter of fact just describing)

Nurse: Well it's a good sign that they are painful, it's probably not cancerous.

Me: What the fuck? er, I wasn't worried about cancer, jeez. I'm worried about tonsillitis or laryngitis, that's it. Not for one second did I worried that swollen lymph node on my throat were cancerous. Are you serious?

Nurse: Oh well, just wanted to reassure you.

Me: :::sigh::: Well okay, so if it stays swollen for a week, to see a doctor. I'll do that.

Nurse: So don't worry, it's probably nothing.

Me: Ma'am, it's nothing more than my body fighting an infection, that I know. Just wanted to check with someone competent a nurse.

Nurse: You are much more educated that most of our caller.

Me: You mean I'm smarter or less paranoiac than most of your caller? Thanks a lot. Have a great day!

Seriously, who the hell think they have cancer because while having a cold their lymph node swell near their throat? Who the hell is that alarmist? I had to keep most of my snark because I thought she was ridiculous. Not one second did I worry about cancer. That's what I call an over-the-top reaction!!!

The confirmation went really well, I wrote down the twins a long card, each had one. The celebration lasted 90 long minutes. I was proud of them!

What did you guys do today? Are you ready for the week to start? I'm totally ready to get Big Multinational Company's call

Currently listening to "I have a dream" from Abba

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

Here's the YouTube link if ya wanna listen to it. Do you like the song? Were you a fan of Abba? The Seminarian's homily was nice and quite interesting, I was proud of him. It's late, I've gotta sleep because I'll go out tomorrow. One of my lymph node is swollen and it's painful to swallow. YUCK!!! It needs to go away... The gal herself gave it back to me.

My friend's twins will be confirmed in the afternoon. So, I will be attending. On that sweeties, sleep well, don't let the bed bugs bite ya.

Stories from Friday and a movie recommendation

So I met with a friend for dinner... We went to a fairly new place in Bigger Town. One we wanted to try but that we'd heard bad and good critics. To my surprise and his too, I believe it was very good and affordable. My friend's Baby Back Ribs were tasty. Anyway, it was good, the place was clean, waitress nice, food yummy and the freaking brownies was to die for. I wasn't able to finish it.

We went shopping, took our time and went to the late representation of Micheal Clayton featuring the handsome and talented George Clooney. Go and see it, the movie's good, the moral of the story is nice, George is HOT. ::::drool::::

I need to stop by the retail store because I bought 5 items last night and she only packed one of them, the cat food. The rest, including 3 greeting cards (2 of which are for tomorrow) and a candle were forgotten by the cashier. I called this morning, started to explain and the lady said " Yup, we've got the stuff, just stop by the customer service's office and you'll get your things, we are sorry". It's okay, people forget, cashiers are human beings. I never realise it before midnight when I got home. The bad was heavy because of the cat food, I thought the rest was there. So I'll stop by later this afternoon on my way to dinner and attending the mass where my friend, The Seminarian will be doing the homily.

On my quest to find this tea (It's SW and I's favorite tea) , which I didn't find in the 5-6 places I went , I did buy 2 boxes (one for me, one for TFB and SW) of this desert tea by celestial seasonings and it's very very very good. I could order online from Celestial Seasonings but I don't do FedEx or UPS, I've got issues with them and they can't deliver with USPS.

So that's my slice of life. What are you doing this weekend?
