Nablopomo DAY 30!!!

30 November 2009 By crazymrsnancy 2

I did it! I blogged every single day during the month of November! Are you sick and tired of me yet? Should I take a sabbatical? 

To celebrate the end of Nablopomo - Bullets hehe.

  • Tonight is our office Xmas party at the Pumphouse, and I'm not even pumped. It's this early because M is off to Thailand for 2 months.
  • I stupidly picked and scratched at a blackhead on my chinny chin chin, and I've managed to take a whole layer of skin off and it looks like a blister/cigarette burn. Add that to my 5 star period zits that are still not totally gone, and I look like a fat crack whore.
  • My tree is decorated and 75% of my decorations are up! 
  • We're starting to re-think Tavern on the Green for NYE.... the price is great, in theory it sounds great.. but the reviews... awful awful awful. But then again they're going bankrupt and this is their last Hurrah and we could say that we've had one NYE at TOTG... Sigh. What to do ? 
  • Someone at work is stealing mugs. I'm not kidding. 2-3 weeks ago I said "OMG, we only have NINE mugs left?" and this morning, while I was prepping for the Minister and Deputy Minister, I realized that we're down to 6 mugs! WTH! These are hand made artisanal pottery mugs with the province's flower on it etc. I don't now if it's employees, clients, or the cleaning lady....
  • I am so unorganized for the NYC trip. It's because I'm waiting to purchase the NYE party tickets first, because the price of that will have an effect on all other activities...
  • Maybe we should go to TOTG anyway and hope that they dont' want a Halloween fiasco repeat? 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

There's still no snow on the ground and we're still enjoying unseasonably warm temperatires, and I'm still enjoying it so so much! 

Today was *awesome*! Brian did the last of the yard winterizing and went up the roof to fix the Christmas lights. Steph helped me re-arrange the living room furniture and mopped the floor.Then Brian and Steph assembled the tree while I sat and watched. It was a Christmas miracle!! The tree is up and decorated, and 75% of the decorations are up :) 

Wednesday night I'm going to go help Sophie shop for a dress and shoes for her Christmas party, that's going to be fun! 

Did anyone else hear that "Green Monster Mash" song?? (The Grinch & Shrek) Love it!!

If this is global warming...

Then let's throw some tires in the fire and leave our cars running all night long! 15C (59F) on a November 27th? Yes please!! If winter would just forget to arrive, it'd be awesome.

Guess what I'm joining in January? I am SO excited!! I'm joining a Choir! It's not a church choir, but the rehearsals are held in a church. I have been wanting to sing in a choir for so long that I had actually begun attending services at some point, to see if I would fit in anywhere. But no... the only church choirs I happened to see were little groups of very old people. This one sounds SO cool! I cannot WAIT! 

Laura from Smartest Loser is a member of the Chorale, and I knew she was in a choir, but I had assumed it was a church choir. The dinner last night at City Grill went really well. It wasn't as embarrassing as I thought it would be. In fact, it wasn't embarrassing at all. The only problem is that this is the second time I go to City Grill for dinner and that I dislike it. And this time, let's just say that I've visited the loo a LOT since I ate that stupid tasteless salmon. Their lunch menu is okay, but I give up on them for dinner! 

Believe it, Be it

26 November 2009 By crazymrsnancy 1

I received my Amazon.ca order today. In it was Ali Vincent's book - Believe it, Be it. She's the first female Biggest Loser in the world. She is amazing. I flipped the book open to read just the first couple of pages to see what it was like... and I just finished it. In one sitting. At work. I was captivated.

In 35 minutes is the Smartest Loser Holiday gathering at the City Grill. I am pretty nervous to go see them all, after having gained a lot of weight back. I would be more nervous than that but there is family crap happening today which is taking up most of my consciousness at the moment. I don't want to write any password protected entries during Nablopomo, but you either already know where you can find some of the story, or if not you can ask me privately. In less than 10 words : My brother is moving back in with us tonight. While we're at the SL xmas thing.

I can't wait to be at home after tonight's even and craziness, and get in my PJ's and watch The Office and laugh at THEIR craziness :) 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY AMERICAN FRIENDS!!

 

Busy for a hermit!

25 November 2009 By crazymrsnancy 1

We've been quite busy for hermits lately. I really wish that I could multiply myself, or at least divide myself.. There is enough of me to make two people! One me could see friends, family, attend organizations, work, friends, family, businesses Holiday parties and the other me would clean the house, do errands, do Holiday cooking/baking, and go Christmas gift shopping. How do parents ever get to relax? On the other hand, because we have no children, people assume that we have all the time in the world and expect us to do more things for others. And we all know how I can't say NO.

I watched The Biggest Loser special tonight :Where Are They Now? Wow. I was teary eyed during the entire thing. That winner of season whatever, Erik Chopin? That's exactly how I feel too. I feel like having regained half of my 140lbs weight loss is a disappointment to others. I worry more about disappointing others than myself.

Taking The Risk

24 November 2009 By crazymrsnancy 7

Yeah, I don't know why I didn't blog this last night.. I was probably really ripe for bed.

Last night as we're walking in the parking lot, on our way to the Stone Temple Pilots concert, I asked Steph if he has any inside pockets in his coat. He said yes, why? I said well, here, put my camera in your inside pocket since my coat pockets are already bulging with stuff - Blackberry, plastic card, pack of gum, 3 emergency kleenexes, keys and the camera.

Steph : "Pfft No!! If you want to break the rules, YOU take the risk of it being confiscated!" 

Me : "Pft Fine. I'll take the risk. If they tell me I can't bring it in I'll just bring it back to the car." 

I stood in line nervously, while everybody was being searched and padded down by officers, to get inside the coliseum. There was a huge garbage can between the officers where they threw out... whatever would't make it inside the show. She searched the 3 people in front of me in the line. When it was my turn, I walked up to the female officer, assumed search position, thinking "Shit, this is going to be embarrassing.".  She waved me in without searching me!

Steph got searched. Thoroughly. Haha! She took out the tin box of Altoids from his coat pocket like it was going to explode. She carefully opened it, smelled the mints, and took one in her hand to inspect it. Then she put it back in the tin box. Ew. She finally let him through, but it was kind of hilarious that he DID get searched like that, after being paranoid about the camera! 

17 Minutes!

23 November 2009 By crazymrsnancy 0

I have 17 minutes to blog before the clock strikes 12! So I think I'll go bullet style, it'll be short and sweet :) 

  • STP Concert was *Awesome* !! We had fantastic seats! 
  • Because my coworker M is going to Thailand for 2 months on Dec 2, we're having our office Christmas party on MONDAY! Already!! In exactly a month, we'll be having Holiday Fun!! 
  • I love Kelly Osbourne.
  • 13 Minutes
  • My coworker S coloured her hair chocolate brown (from blonde) and she looks *amazing*!
  • 10 Minutes
  • 1 Minute
  • Okay I've got nothing.. I'm trying to unwind before bed g by watching "Dancing with the Stars" and it's entertaining hehe.
  • More tomorrow :)

Tomorrow night is already almost here! The Stone Temple Pilots concert yeah!! 

I'm loving the ABC channel this Holiday Season! I just put A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, the Beyonce Concert and the Paul McCartney Concert to record. I'm also loving their upcoming 25 Days of Christmas movies! I'm so in the Spirit this year! 

I'm so thrilled that we're doing Christmas here again this year. I've already bought 3 gifts, and I think I know what to get the rest. I'm hoping to convince Sophie to fuck embarrassment and agree to come to a Cosmos & Cranium (or drinks and Cranium) potluck girls holiday themed night! 

I think I'm going to decorate next weekend. I'm also working on convincing Steph to come to the Santa Claus Parade Saturday :) Why is it that I always have to convince people to do things with me? 

I think we've finally chosen a New Years Eve Party!
