About my washer

I need to call maintenance man tomorrow to let him know it needs to be fixed. TTF said something about the gear is wrong.

I hope they fix it fast and without complaining. I hate having to deal with those people. I'm really dreading calling tomorrow. Pray for the problem to be fixed fast and without any cost to me. Thanks!!!!!

6 unimportant things about me...

Inspired by The Gal herself, here are my answers.

1. I don't buy ice cream because when I have some, I can't stop eating it before the pack is empty.

2. To this day I'm still sad over the fact that Milli Vanilli were not really singing.

3. I have fairly intensive talks with Mr.Cat and often asks him stuff I know he can't answer.

4. I often think of how I would spend my money if I won the lottery but I don't play any type of lottery. I know, I'm weird.

5. I'm scared of the dark, the only place that I'm not is inside a church. There, I feel protected.

6. One of my pillow is nicknamed "baby" and I've had him for years, I mean probably close to 15 years. I replace his cover often. It's a duvet pillow!

I'm tagging anyone who wants to play.

Havin' washer problems

My freaking washer has a problem. It's not spinning anymore and it's making a very annoying noise. Guess who's coming over this afternoon to take a look at it? Yeah, my hero.

The appliances are not mine, they are the Landlord's but he offered to take a look to see what's the problem and if he can't easily fix it, I'll give a call to the maintenance man. I hope, hope it's nothing major. I don't want to get into a bitch fight with The Landlord for him to fix something major because he's a jerk.

Think of me and pray that it's something easy that TTF can fix himself.

I need to get some sleep

My sleep has been hectic in the past days. This morning, One of my former college at BMC woke me up by calling, it was around 10 am and he couldn't believe I was still sleeping. Duh!!! I got home late and it's the weekend. It's not like I have 4 children at home and not taking care of 'em you know.

I'm going to back in bed to read and Mr.Cat will go on the couch or in the spare room. We just can't sleep together.

CQ, I'm glad you agree with me that total abandon is the way to enjoy it, so giving and receiving at the same time makes no sense. I wonder what guys think of this....

I'm glad you guys have girl's night out too. and I'm sorry for making you hungry!

Listen to this

I'm craving Maki Sushi (vegetarians and chitake mushroom ones) , Chinese food and coffee. Dark, roasted coffee. I think I'm going to stop at the grocery store tomorrow, get some coffee at least and for the rest, I'll plan an lunch with someone at a sushi place next week. I'm going to ask The Artist if she'd like to come, I think she does like sushis.

Girl's night outs are the absolute best, that and friend's night but at a girl's night out; The subjects are only for us, by us. No men around!!! Not that I would mind.

Some things are overrated, like you can't "receive" well and "give" well at the same time. In order to enjoy receiving, you need to abandon yourself and let go. In order to give well, you need to focus and concentrate. This doesn't work well with the act I'm describing eh? If you're following me! That was one of the things discussed last night. That's why we agreed that this Overrated.

I should go to church tomorrow but I think I'm going to pass on this weekend. I'm reading Maxime Chattam books (creepy but nice enough)

Just too tired today

Last night was fun, the cocktail at the museum cool and we had a girl's night out at a sushi place. Fun, fun fun. Got home a little after midnight....

I'm home now, I did get up this morning around 10h15, dragged my ass in the shower, ate and went to the library, cooked chili and now I'm on the couch, barely able to move. I'm so tired... I got the season 2 and 3 of 6 Feet under but it's hard to get into. These guys are weird.

I've got good books ans I think I'm going to dive in 'em.

Friday Fill-in

1. I love springtime in the fact that the snow goes away!
2. Easy, cheap and lowcal are foods I love to eat for breakfast.
3. It seems I'm always searching for my freaking watch. Mr.Right.
4. Laying on the couch with a fleece blanket is a great way to end the day.
5. I think I need to work on the way I react to freaks!
6. Chinese food sex is what I've been craving lately.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to the cocktail party, tomorrow my plans include sleeping in late and Sunday, I want to watch a bit of TV!

Friday Fill-Ins

It's Friday eh?

I feel quite busy, like I'm running after my own tail. Like I said earlier this week I've been shopping for Life Insurance. That's something important but not so easy and fun to shop around. I have finally chosen to apply for one with the place I do banking because the woman I met treated me nicely and was very honest and straightforward. The guy from the other company was nice but treated me like I was 5 years old and, I don't like older men who treat me like I'm a child. I mean especially not when I'm doing business. It's like being belittled, fuck that, that's not my cup of tea. Now, lets hope I am approved!

I'm going to a cocktail at a museum with The Passionate One, The Tall Friend and The New Blogger, it's the opening of a New Exhibit and we got VIP invitation.

So I'm well, feeling like I said busy and I can't wait for the weekend, I'll sleep in late.

Yesterday was The Seminarian's birthday and it was a fun dinner. He was happy we did something and I'm saying it specially on the blog so you guys can wish him a happy belated birthday. He reads the blog so he'll see the wishes and be happy.

Oh My Gosh!

I'm on Mac OS 10.5 Leopard!!!! Yipee!!! I'm soo fucking smart and happy! and proud and happy!!!! Someone's gotta enjoy this! You can't see me but I'm grinning ear to ear.

I'm going to the restaurant with TYP, The Seminarian, The Nurse and The Psych Nurse tonight, it's The Seminarian's birthday! So we'll have a good time I'm sure.

I'm exhausted because I didn't sleep very well (big surprise) and I got up early this morning to go to The Parish's office to get information for something I need to do. I've also been on the phone with people from The Diocese and right now, I'm still waiting on a phone call from someone there.

Anyway, I'm going to go play a bit on my new system!!!! Yipee!!!

Trying on install Mac OS Leopard

The last time I tried, there was an error and I was not able to and it depressed me. But I backed up everything on CDs this morning and I'm trying again.

I'm smart, I've got another computer to use just in case (My emac) and I'm going to figure this out.

Leopard, here I come. I was inspired by TFB and his newly bought baby, an IMac. :)

Guess who I just sent an email to?

I decided to send an email to my former boss at BMC, you know the one who bought me and my colleagues the book "Who moved my cheese". He's the head of the "Sales and Customer Services" department. I gave him a short/positive update on me, asking him about him and letting him know that I am still available and would happily join one of his team. anytime, anywhere. That's true. I enjoyed working with him and would be thrilled to do it again, anytime.

I'll let you know if he replies. I highly doubt he has a job for me now, but just letting him know I'd be happy to work with him again. I guess it wouldn't be in our area and this would mean moving but let's not go there. I'm focusing on the positive!

An update on my hair

I finally did not get highlights because I had to stop at the pharmacy on my way to the hairdresser and picked up a close to 40$ bill, so fuck the highlights this time. I'll get them in May because, after all, I'm not rich, yet.

I like the cut but it's the same one I always get. I'm pretty conventional you know. I feel pretty, I like having my hair done. So, I'm back home.. I'm going out with a friend for dinner and will probably be home watching TV this evening. We have a meeting for the church tomorrow night.

I have been calling around for life insurance this morning. I had one at work but it stopped the day I was laid off. So I'm waiting on 2 calls. I don't want a big one, there's no point on having a 100 000$ life insurance policy, I just want enough money to be cremated, my ashes taken care of and the religious ceremony. That's around 10 000$. We shall see what I will find.

Have a great Tuesday!!!

Talk me out of something...

I'm going to the hairdresser tomorrow. Yeah, I know again you may think? I go every 4-5 weeks. It's not that much maintenance huh? The New Blogger said "Again?", I said But I went 4 or 5 weeks ago. That's not that bad eh?

But I don't want you to talk me out of going to the hairdresser, It's that I want highlights, a lot of them, darker or I mean highlights that everyone will see. I would want blue or purple one for a week but that's just ridiculous. I want to look classy and professional, so Do I get 'em or not? Tell me to wait for my apt in May before The Sister's wedding. Tell me to wait. I will get my hairdone a day before The Sister's Wedding.

I have been going though a lot, I have grown immensely in the past weeks. I want to make a statement, I want a new me. A tattoo is out of the question because it's permanent damage to the body and I have enough scarring due to my own fault, and another piercing (I have to hole in each ear) is out of the question because Hema-Québec (to whom I donate blood) would prohibit me drom donating for 6 months. That's what they did last year and giving blood is important to me. So what's left is my hair. Not the cut (because I love mine) , but the color.

I'm shallow eh? Talk me into waiting and chillin' or don't!

1800-659-4264

I want to know how it's possible. I want to know WTF happened. I want to know... And yet, at the same time, I have pushed her disappearance far away from my mind because it is too fucking painful. I'm going to refrain from posting my own vibes on the family that I've seen on TV because all I want is this little girl safe at home. That's all I've been praying for...

A post about my relationship with Mr.Cat

We are like a old married couple. Sharing a bed has been a terrible pain in the butt. He disrupt my sleep, jumps on me to get attention, bite me while I sleep, all kind of annoying things. I'm telling you, sometimes I would kill him.

Anyway, last week I made the decision to sleep without him. I shut the bedroom door and he can't get in. I've been putting a comfy polar fleece blanket on the couch and he sleeps there. For 4 nights my sleep was better, no annoying jumpy thing in the bed. No snoring annoyance. The freaking peace!

Last night, I got up to pee around 1h30 Am, and who did I see when I opened the door? Mr.Cat was sleeping next to the bedroom door. I thought it was soo cute and he must have missed me, so I let him in. I said "Now, it's time to prove me you are a good cat, if you disrupt my sleep, you are forever gone of the master bedroom." Guess who was a bad cat around 6 AM? Yeah, he was. Before I cussed him out, I got up and check his food, water and liter, everything was fine. He wanted freaking attention. What the hell?

So Mr.Cat and I will not share a bed anymore. He just can't be a nice kitty. I need my sleep. What's up with him? Anyone with a cat like this? I'm sure The Gal will have a great story. Rey must be doing something similar or worse.

A recipe post and Monday Musing

My home smells freakign divine because tonight I'm having "Diet coke chicken". I happen to read about it on a message board and decided to make it for tonight. I can't wait to eat... So here's the recipe. It's a Weight Watchers recipe if it matters to any of ya. So I took it from this link.

1 can diet cola (any brand)
1 cup ketchup
4 3-4 oz. Chicken breasts
1/2 packet of Onion Soup Mix

Place chicken in skillet. Sprinkle the Soup Mix then pour ketchup over chicken and then cola. Cook on medium high heat 45 minutes, reduce heat, cover and simmer until sauce begins to adhere to chicken approximately 20 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
Enjoy.

Nutritional Facts per serving: 174 calories 2.8 gr. Fat 0 fiber.

4 oz. Raw chicken breast 129 calories 2.8 gr. Fat
¼ cup ketchup 45 calories and 1 gr. Fat
¼ can diet cola 0 calories


WW points 4

P.S. I also use a liquid salad dressing that has garlic in it instead of the soup mix and it adds the flavor also. (Italian or Vingerette ect.)

Other than that, there's not much. The Young Priest and I went for a coffee after lunch, then grocery shopping and I'm back home, just relaxing. I just put my federal tax return on my Visa card, as I did with my provincial one. I'm trying to be wise. Yeah, if it was just up to me and I as rich, I'd buy clothes and lingerie but whatever, I'm not rich Yet. Or I need to get myself a sugar daddy?

People are sick...On the John and Jenny Deaves story.

I just watched this gem of a video, you know, it's from John and Jenny Deaves.

If you follow this link, you can listen to them. People absolutely sicken me. I can't believe they are having children with each others. Consenting adults my ass. The man is sick and the girl is not "right" in the head. I don't know any normal man who'd want to have sex with their daughter. That's just against nature.

I'm creeped out. Hmm, excuse me, I'm telling you, the world is mad, it is just insane. Le monde est fou en crisse. (The world is farking crazy)

Father and daughter have a child together

I'm sorry, this whole thing makes me sick. I mean WTF sick.

A SOUTH Australian father and daughter have revealed they are a couple, and have had a child together.

John and Jenny Deaves of Mount Gambier reunited 30 years after Mr Deaves separated from Jenny's mother.

Jenny was 31 and just two weeks after meeting, father and daughter had sex.

"John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults," Mrs Deaves told the Nine Network's 60 Minutes tonight.

"We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding."

Their nine-month-old daughter Celeste, shown on TV, appeared fit and healthy.

Mrs Deaves said soon after reuniting with her father she began to see him as a man first and her father second. "I was looking at him, sort of going, oh, he's not too bad," she said. "Like you might look at a man across the bar at a nightclub."

Mrs Deaves brought two children, Samantha and Alex, into the relationship after splitting from her former partner. Mr Deaves admitted that he "initially" thought having sex with his daughter was wrong.

"Emotions take over, as people no doubt realise, there are times during your life where emotions do rule the heart, it rules the head," he said. "I knew it was illegal, of course I knew it was illegal but you know, so what." Mrs Deaves said the physical relationship with her father was like "a sexual relationship with any other man". For Mr Deaves the sexual relationship was "absolutely fantastic".

A US psychologist told 60 Minutes the Deaves's relationship was an example of "Genetic Sexual Attraction". He said the phenomenon was not rare, and society would be suprised at how prevalent it was. The Deaves's relationship is deemed by Australian authorities as incestuous and therefore illegal. A South Australian police media spokesman said "the couple was being monitored".

Here's the court remarks on their sentencing because both of them were accused of incest. I'm sorry, I don't think incest is ever OK. I just don't. The poor children being raised in that house. I'm just incredibly surprised that some people are defending these acts.

Post your current desktop image or picture

This beautiful and hot man is on my MacBook desktop. McDreamy makes my world collapse. He's hot, he's MY fantasy, my guilty pleasure. I hate, hate long beard but what he's got on this picture is fucking hot. I'd do him!

The guys were telling me I was hot for an old man when I had George Clooney on my desktop. Heck, I dream of Clooney too. I mean older means more experienced? :wink:

That's all I got, images... Poor pitiful me eh?

Tell me what's on your desktop! Share the hotties, may they be animals, your family or just random images...

It's not always easy...

to be a perfectionist , oh the farking irony of wanting to achieve every project perfectly. It's absolutely unrealistic, I know, I know. Repeat after me "I do not control everything, I only control my attitude and that's enough". It really is.

Off topic, I saw The Ex Boyfriend on Monday night. I went to the funeral home to pay my respect to someone I know who'd lost her mom. He was there, he jumped on me, hugged me and kissed both my cheeks. It freaked me out totally. I panicked, went to see the lady I was there for, waved at few people from The Parish and got the fuck out. I mean I almost ran to the bus terminal. I absolutely did NOT want to be there with The Ex for the evening. He freaked me out with his unwanted from my part desire for him to hug and kiss me. I admit, I'm not much of hugger unless in specific occasions. I mean I like people to respect my personal space. It's very very important. There's no need to hug, touch and cuddle at all time. Especially after a breakup, especially in our situation. Dude, do NOT ask me for anything.

I wasn't a bitch, I was frozen by the creepy hug. I went to see The Lady, paid my respect and got the hell out. I took a long burning shower, relaxed, calm down and told my story to TFB in an email.

I'm a bit tired, had a long meeting last night, we finished around 23h00, I did not do an April fool's day prank. I fell asleep around 1h30 am, up for 7h45 because TFB and I had some work to do at The Parish's office. Did an interview with a student journalist for a project The Parish is a part of, and did a lot of stuff this afternoon.

I'm tired, I need to sleep. I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I want a long night of sleep. At least 10 hours. Capiche?

I'm currently listening to my Ipod "Belle" from the Notre-Dame de Paris's show, it is sang by a guy named Garou. The song is soo freaking good, it's a love song, it is sang with such passion.

Makin' fun of Mr.Cat

Look people, ma mom is making fun of the way I cross ma paws. I'm pissed. Then I decided to look cute for The Gal, hopin' she would take my side.

Do you guys think Mr.Cat has a weird way to cross his paws? I know, I know, he's such a cutie.

Happy April fools's day!

I need to think of pranks to do tonight at the Church Council meeting. Help me find ideas....

Not in the food, I already baked brownies and biscottis and wouldn't spoil good food. Anyone has a cool idea to prank the guys?

Pretty please with sugar on top?

Bits and pieces from today

Overheard this morning when we went in the rectory to get water. We were removing the farking snow from the roof top.

Me: I don't wanna get down the ladder, I can't. I can't
The Tall Friend (TTF): Put your hand there, He shows me where,and your feet on the first step, then out your other hand there and your feet. Look at me.
M: I can't, can you hold me?
TTF: You can do it. Put your hand there... your feet there. Just do it slowly. We're with you, you can do it.
Me: I'll jump off the roof!
TTF: No, you can't jump, there's no enough snow yet, you'll break your legs or something.
M: Ok then, I won't get down.
TTF: You have to, do it. You can!
I looked at TheFriendlyBoss (TFB) and him in the eyes and did it. 3 times

I was just scared. I fought my terror of heights. I'm good! I feel soo farking powerful. I did it! I was actually very whiny when I got scared but it lasted 2 minutes, so whatever. We laughed our asses off. I mean hilarious. Removing snow and ice and breaking it with a shovel is very therapeutic and it helped me to let go of my anger.

You know, as I was telling TFB in an email minutes ago, being strong physically and morally is helping me to deal with my vulnerable side. I wanna be strong, I want to be powerful. I want to show I'm not a whimp. I am a woman, I'm feminine but I'm not incapable. I grew up in a household that did not give us the possibility to be both feminine and courageous/strong. I want to be able to cook awesomely yummy food and work my ass off physically. I want the best of both world. I want it all. I can, I am me, a capable, intelligent,caring and strong woman and yet at the same I have a very vulnerable side. I'm very sweet and nurturing and I DO want the best of those two worlds.

Do you not want the same? Why should we women just be good in bed or at being pretty and nurturing? Why can't we have it all? The strength, the power, the intelligence, and yet the caring, nurturing, motherly side? I want people to remember me as ME.

If I were to die today, I'd want written on my epitaph " She could do it all".

I have to be careful, I have a lot of pride, I have a tendency to overdo, I push myself. This morning after 3 hours of shoveling TFB said "Girl, you're exhausted, it's OK to stop and relax a bit. I can see it, you're drained, it's OK to stop". Later he told me that pride is bad, it's ok to have limits, it's more OK to listen to them and respect them. He's right! He's a wise guy and when he tells me stuff like this, I always know he's right and I believe him.

Lesson 1: Challenging yourself is great.
Lesson 2: Snow is damn heavy, especially after being on the roof since November and after tons of it plus rain and cold and snow and snow... (You get the picture)
Lesson 3: Always go on a roof with people you trust.
Lesson 4: The day after such a heavy exercice is going to be hard, so did TTF say.
Lesson 5: Fleece mitens weren't such a good idea! Those POS were soaked within an hour.

I'm dragging my ass back to my show. 5th season of Fortier.

I'm just drained

I can't even write a long post, the removal of the 7-8 foots of snow on the rectory's roof totally killed me. We were 4 all together and I'm just very tired. We had fun, it was a lot of work but we laughed our asses off.

I was able to fight my terror of heights. I climbed on the roof and got down and climbed a total of 3 times and I also jumped off the roof in the pile of snow ( 10 feet high per 20 feet wide), but I am tired.

The guys were as usual the best. We went for hot cocoa at TTF's house after, then I had a late lunch with TFB and SW and I'm home and happy to be. It took us 3 hours, 3 long, painful hours.

The Gal, I'm glad my post about my asshole Mr.Cat has helped you because he did it again this morning, at 6h50. I'm glad not to be alone with a cat like this. I adore him but he's a pain in the ass.
