Our Weekend: Banjo Kazooie!! 

How can I be such a ninja driver in real life but terrible when playing xbox?

Worst Wedding DJ Ever, Part Deuce...

Worst Wedding DJ Ever from Jerry O'Connell

Thanks again to Curtis for finding this...  and thank you Jerry O'Connell and Rebbeca Romijn, awesome!!

Guess what I did today?!

Gloucester Fair!!  While it may not be Disney World or the Super Ex (haha jk) it still has a petting zoo so it's still effin awesome in my books! This also means I don't have to buy a donkey or a duck in the next year because I've just had my fill... I think I just heard Curtis sigh in relief somewhere. ;)

A big thank you to Ashley and Vanessa for bringing me along and letting me be the overgrown kid that I am!  I also have to mention that I am officially retiring from doing the Zipper ever again. Never thought I'd say this but I can't do it anymore... unless I start doing more yoga or something, but I can't handle the whole blood rushing to my head, unless it's alcohol induced!

Here are some petting zoo pics from today... they're just Iphone shots so mind the quality, or lack thereof.

Also note the pink chicken. Awesome, now I have to have some one of those too, thanks guys.

Lethargic Finny is brought to you via Nana! Maybe Finny had too many cupcakes and felt like sewing? lol (inside joke!)

More Dramz...

Spoke to Richard for almost an hour today catching up on a day’s worth of "drama"... so here we go:

Yesterday evening GS' downstairs neighbor asked GS' fugtard boyfriend to please not let the door slam when he enters or leaves the building. Simple enough right? WRONG. GS is calling this harassment and is threatening a lawsuit? I'd love to see her try because I think it would be a huge waste of time, but it would make for interesting posts for the blog... fingers crossed everyone! I also hope I get called in as a character witness... (please Jesus, just this one thing.)

So in any case she yelled at Richard, said it was his job to fix this, but it's not, and he told her so, and asked her to refer to the landlord with any complaints, and she just proceeded to yell at Richard so he hung up on her.

Curtis and I had JUST seen her and the fugtard when we were walking the Finstagator and she seemed totally 'normal', then she goes and loses it on Richard 5 minutes later. Should I like be worried because she clearly has a mental disorder.

I'm sure she'll be 100% back to her "normal" self by Saturday night because Mr. & Mrs GS have a swingers boat cruise to attend and then are having friends over.... Wonderful, but at least this time Curtis will be here and we can spy together........... you know for the blog. duh.

Magic

Was cooking my pork tenderloin last night while drinking one of these puppies and next thing you know I have the best effin sauce I have ever made or quite possibly even tasted. Sorry dad, but you have some serious competition now!!   My sauce thickened way too fast so I panicked and just poured some of my BLL and the results were nothing less than MA-GI-CAL  Just that right amount of zing you want with your Pork... the rest of the meal was awesome since we just dunked the Patate Parisienne and Grilled Zucchini in the sauce.

Did I overheat the kitchen? YES, but did I steal the key to Curtis' eternal love? I'm pretty sure the sauce sealed the deal ;)

Dinner Dilema

I seriously have nothing interesting to say so I won't bore you for too long, but I have to keep my stats up! Why? Because I'm a big nerd who loves to crunch those numbers!  just kidding, well excpet for the nerd part. 

 I'm literally sitting at my desk wondering what I'm going to cook for Curtis and me tonight.  I was super gung ho about cooking and then lost it...I currently have no appetite and I went looking online for inspiration and found nada...  I'm also trying to think of things that won't heat up my kitchen too much since this is the first night in what feels like forever that my apartment will be 'bearable'.  All I've come up with so far is salad, and as you know, you don't make friends with salad, or husbands either I suspect.

So if you read this in the next 15 minutes and you can think of something delish and easy... please comment, because cereal is starting to sound real good right about now!

My other other boyfriend...

Suck On THIS!

Jason Stackhouse... so hot and stupid. I love you.

Child Abuse

I know this is far from the light drama I provide, but Curtis sent me this and I just had to share. It's so disturbing on so many levels...  I don't even understand how a child can learn how to smoke... it took me the longest time as a teenager to get it down.  I almost forgot I was watching a 2 year old at some point until he started playing around with the cigarette and blowing kisses, and then I remembered that this isn't some weird baby faced mutant adult, it's a baby.

GS Gossip

So word on the street is GS is getting a little snarky with Richard. Apparently she's not a big fan of the little notes he leaves for everyone (except they're really just for her).  She's left the garden hose running twice now, so Richard rightfully put a note up near the hose asking to please to turn the water off when you're done using it. I honestly can't believe he has to explain this to a grown woman...

He also has notes about dogs peeing on the grass and closing the doors quietly, so he is a little note nazi-ish,  but it's funny how we never needed any of these notes before a certain someone moved in... something to ponder if you will.  

In any case, Richard called me this morning to tell me that she texted him saying that she turned off the water when she was done. Obviously she's trying to be a smart ass and thinks turning off the water is a big deal.  I told him not to respond and to just ingore it. If she's going to start texting about all her good deeds than he needn't worry, I'm sure that was the last of it. 

The guy downstairs from her was complaining yesterday and said he was going to call the landlord. Richard was actually nice enough to suggest he just go talk to her first and then if it continues to get worse than go to our landlord.  I do feel kinda bad for her, only because she's being targeted right now, but honestly just turn the water off when you're done using it, don't slam doors, or make lots of noise in the middle of the night, that's just common sense... but like they say, common sense is far from common.

We survived!

So this is a little late in the game, but just wanted to confirm that we made out alive on Saturday!!  The GS party was in full swing (haha get it) when we left for downtown, but we have no clue what was going on in there, and we're kinda glad about that. However Richard will probably get the gory deets today and then he'll feel inclined to share with me and me with you... Vicious cycle.

Downtown was fun, it started off slow, so it eased us into the night!! lol. There was a little Jersey Shore action going on but not too too bad and it only helped us look even hotter than we already were!! (If I do say so myself!).

Brig let me practice my airbrushing on her and I think we both looked flawless! I'll eventually be doing a little photoshoot with the girls so look out for that on my facebook fanpage.. Any other volunteers? Let me know!! 

The rest of my weekend was pretty chill. Curtis was in Toronto for Cotapolooza 2010, if you've never heard of this before it's because you're stoopid, haha just kidding it's because they made it up, so save yourself the google trip! Sunday I started painting the spare room with some of my leftover Ralph Lauren Loft Grey paint, and now that they stopped selling RL paint at home depot, I decided I'm going to hoard the other gallon I have for my next  abode. 

Sunday night I watched the finale of LOST! I know it wasn't the CARAZY ending everyone was hoping for, but I still really liked it, and I couldn't stop crying... I was glad I was alone because Curtis would have thought I was losing it! I also cried while painting that day because I was semi watching the Persuit of Happiness at the same time... not a good idea when you're PMS'ing. Then, yesterday, while I was finishing my painting I was semi watching "Cupcake Girls" and when Lori found out she was pregnant after trying for 2 years I lost it again. I'd never even seen the show before but since there was a marathon I felt like they were my best buds!! Thank god I am feeling better now! 

And that's all I'm ever going to mention about PMS or else i'm going to end up with ads about maxi pads on the side bar... :S

Later kids.... Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :(

Just kiddin!

Someone is trying to kill me...

And her name is Brigitte!! lol

Just got back from the gym and I want to die.  Not only did I beat my own pathetic record, but Brig had me doing weights and showed me new arm & back thingies that we're hard but very effective... Unfortunately I don't think the results will show up by tonight for my partially backless dress I just got :S

Why all the hooplah? Well we're both très excited for tonight!We're going out... DOWNTOWN!! Something we haven't done in I don't know how long?!  So while we want to look good and all, I think a part of us just hopes to blend in, in a way that makes it seem like we go out all the time...lol.

The plan for the rest of my day was to tan and get some color so I don't glow under the black lights, however mother nature isn't cooperating.  An hour ago it was hot and sunny, now it's raining :( 

Some of you might also remember what else tonight is... It's the swinger's party next door!! And let me tell you, GS has been preparing for this all week. And as per Richard she was up at 6:30am taking out her recycling this morning.  Brig is arriving at 8pm when I think the swinger party starts at the same time, so this should be hilarious! If she arrives at the same time they're going to think and hope she's a going to the same place they are!  I'll try to get a few snapshots of the crazies coming in... no promises tho!

Have a great long weekend Canadians, Bermudians and Caymanians... everyone else, sorry!

I ♥ Ocean ≈

Don't know if everyone has been keeping abreast of this situation all?  I have to admit that I find it so depressing that I try to avoid it completely. However, my better half Curtis thankfully keeps me updated and brings me back to the reality that just because it's unpleasant doesn't mean it's not happening.

I just had an hour and half green committee meeting at work, and I realized afterwards that none of us even mentioned this oil spill. Not that I expect us to have some kind of objective or goal to helping out right now, but I just thought how odd that like minded people didn't even discuss it at all.  I'm chalking it up to everyone probably feeling how I am, overwhelmed and defeated. What can we do really but wait and see what the damage is?  While the politicians do whatever it is their doing or not doing I thought I'd at the least try to find some video's and post updates, and by me finding stuff I mean whatever Curtis sends me ;)

I did actually find this vid myself though.... So point1 for me, and -10billion pts BP.

So I'm not crazy, Ke$ha does $uck

A GS Vacation...

Richard, Ooops I mean Damon tagged along yesterday for my walk with Finny.  I knew he had something juicy when he called me from his window to wait for him...  Let's go Repunzel.

In any case, we dished about the upcoming party and how he's ditching me to go to Montréal and I'll have to report back to him what the people were like who were showing up etc... I don't see why I should have to do anything for him at all since he doesn't even have the curtousy to cancel his long time planned trip... jk.

Anyways among the other things we discussed was our little gs friend's upcoming vacation. Now keep in mind that she doesn't tell me things the way she tells Richard, Damon.  When I saw her with Finnegan the day before, she was telling me that a group of friends and her were going on a couples weekend getaway sometime this summer. That a particular friend of hers is able to get things for free through "bartering". Now I feel pretty effin dumb for not getting it right away when she told me, but Richard has since filled me in and you're right if you're thinking that bartering actually refers to sexual services in this case. 

EVER FRIGGIN DIS-GUS-TING.  

So they're apparently also getting a limo through this bartering system to get to their vacation getaway which GS says is awesome because that means they can "PLAY" on their way there. I really wish you could see what I'm dealing with here guys because then I think you could really sympathize with me.  Ughhhh.

And lastly, which is actually more disturbing so I should have mentioned this first, is that 2 of her "club" friends live in my neighborhood, one is actually on BERMUDA AVE!! This is supposed to be a place of peace and paradise and now it's cheap and seedy. The other friend lives on Charleswood, a street I walk with Finny on a daily, so obviously the route is being revised...

Immature GS Update

So I was walking Finny the Poo yesterday, minding my own business and sure enough, I turned a corner and I could hear someone yelling "Finnegan, Fiiiiiiinnnnegannnn". It was the GS (for new readers GS stands for granny swinger)... anyways so she of course could not read my body language that I was in a hurry and kept talking and talking and then it happened....She warned me about her gross party, said it wasn't going to be a loud bunch, but that they like to dance...   Really? Like you mean some sort of gyrating mating call dance right?  Anyways I said not to worry because I'll likely be out but in truth I will be staying @ Curtis' pad. 

 I love how she tries to make it sound like it's a totally normal party: "oh yah, we'll just be drinking some wine, listening to some music and maybe dancing"  No you won't, you'll be slutting it up, spreading disease and making the baby Jesus cry... 

Anyways that's all I got... Oh, in more relevant news, my Dinair Airbrush should have arrived today. I'm already pretty much late everyday for work, this is not going to help me at all. But at least when I am late now, I'll be flawless when I arrive!

TTFN

OMFG!!!

OMFG!!!

I was going to type all this myself and then saw that Perez did it for me... so tahdah.
You're welcome ;)

Worst Wedding DJ EVER!!!!!!!!!

 


Wow, so the D in DJ stands for Douche?? Awesome, I always wondered about that and now I know.  At least we have a new visual when we'll hear this song, I don't know about you but I was getting kinda sick of Mike Tyson in The Hangover visual, so I'm fine with having  DJ-Douchetard playing the tahtah's for awhile...

Thanks Curtis for sending me this! xo

Got my hair did!!

So I don't really like to blog about myself and my personal life... bahaha just kidding! Why else would I even have a blog, it's the most narcissistic thing you can do!! But I like to think I counter all the possible conceit with my self deprecating humor, so it's okay... Right?

Anyways what I was going to say is  yesterday was my awesome haircut day. I love love love it, and I'm so relieved because I've almost become phobic about haircuts.  However Sharon, who did my hair, was really great. she's an awesome stylist but she also actually listened to me, didn't make fun of the fact that I desperately needed a haircut, and that I do my own botchy boxed hair color. I can't tell you how many times I've sat in the chair saying "I know, I know" while they tell me how god awful my hair is...

Now it may sound like the previous stylist's might have had a point, like if my hair was fugly than maybe I should go see a pro, but I've only ever had people compliment my hair and the color...  So why should I pay someone to insult me whilst they give me a mushroom tot or their version of "European Hair" which from my experience must mean to be an uneven blunt cut...

Anyways if you like what you see... and you better! Here's who to go see!

Sharon Sugrue

So this happened:

Shirts should be mandatory for this guy...

Val and I had the joy of eating our ice cream (can you guess what flavor!?) today in front of surfer Jesus here. Buddy is ready for a day at the benches (ottawa's version of a beach) with his cooler of beer and mixed bulk barn goodies. Maybe he's a regular and I just don't know... I guess we'll see though, we plan on eating at the benches all summer, so stay tuned for more sightings!

Dish-Pan Hands... and Lovin'it.

Soooo life's pretty quiet on the Avenue right now. The highlight of my night last night was literally doing my dishes with my double sink...   I actually went looking for things to wash, Finny's food & water dishes, Curtis' water glass trail(just kidding I love u!), even started emptying the fridge of leftovers that were probably still good but it was too tempting...   

There's been very little GS sightings and let me tell you, it's a welcomed change. I hadn't posted it yet, but I did end up having to go over to her place last week and talk to her about the whole parking thing. She felt like she was being targeted and I just told her that I was told the same thing before I moved in so they were likely just giving her a heads up. She asked if I wanted to go splits on an extra space and I said no thanks, I don't need an extra space.   She then complained to Richard that I flat out refused her blah blah blah... Like Really? I tried to be nice but as soon as I turn my back you're going to talk smack about me? Grow up grandma...  She's a weirdo, and super gross and I just don't want to be associated with her at all. I'd be mortified if I had to say hi to her in public. I rather speak to my neighbor John with his camo painted truck at the beer store (yes, this person is real)

  

In more exciting news, I have ordered my Dinair Airbrush machine in Ruby Red...Obviously I'm wicked excited about it all!

And in even more exciting and pressing news, I'm getting a haircut on Thursday!! I currently have crazy cat lady hair... it's long, boring, dull and it's coming off! Well a good half inch... Hahahaha just kidding. I'm thinking I need a whole new hair overhaul so it may end up being alot shorter... we'll see what my new stylist wants to do.  She's my friend Val's sister, and Val's hair always looks good, so I'm pretty confident I won't end up with my usual mushroom-tot hair. In case you don't know what mushroom-tot hair looks like, refer back to my facebook pictures circa Nov 2008... or imagine Brady Bunch Mom hair but longer. It's basically 2 lengths of hair, one chin-shoulder length and the other about 6 inches longer than the first layer. Thus creating a mushroom top with the longer pieces making up the stem.  The ONLY advantage to mushroom-tot hair is you can tuck those longer pieces your stylist so gracefully left you with and create a temporary bob.

Here are some looks I'm hoping to portray by Thursday evening and not my inner Carole Brady...

Curtis is coming over tonight to watch LOST and is bringing his nice camera for my apartment photoshoot... I know it's a little anti climatical at this point but big reveal tomorrow guys!! ;)  

Obrigado! Gracias! Merci! Thanks!

Ola!
Just wanted to thank everyone who helped make my birthday weekend a very special one! Thank you :)
Friday with the girls was awesome and hilarious!!  Saturday with my Curtie Bear was fantastic and decadent!  Dinner at 18, was as good if not better than the first time we went and that's the honest truth since we ordered the exact same meal and I'm so glad we did, because now we know we're not crazy, it is THAT GOOD!
Sunday we slept in, had brunch, went shopping and I made dinner in my new kitchen...Finally!!  According to Curtis, it was a "great success"(Borat) and let me tell you how awesome it is to cook a meal without having to balance dinner plates all over the place.  And as of this morning, la cuisine is completely finished, we were missing that one piece under the cabinets and the guys showed up randomly this morning to do it... so photo shoot sometime this week and I'll post the big reveal! 
Again, thank you thank you thank you to everyone!! xoxo

IS NOTHING SACRED?

Curtis sent me this...
You might notice that if I post something funny he's probably the one who sent it to me. ;)

Anyways this video should aide anyone who's torn between gospel and science. If you've been thinking of dabbling with atheism, I think now is the time to start. However if you've been teetering back and forth with faith, I don't think the plastic surgery lovin, belly top wearin' middle aged woman should be the "lords" mouthpiece. Ughh guys, I know............ giggidy.

Enjoy Downward Praying , Christmas Star and Disciple poses... I can't even type this shiz without laughing!

Parking Wars

So the gossip I was waiting for all day yesterday is so not blog worthy that I have to put it in the blog just so you can see what I have to contend with!  Richard called and asked me to play stupid (an impossibility) or lie if GS asks me if Curtis pays for parking. Apparently the landlord warned her that he'll have to charge her for an extra spot if her man uses the visitors spot everyday, which makes sense, there's only 1 visitor spot. 

In any case, I don't know why I would have to lie, Curtis isn't over 7 days a week like her lovah is.  We don't stay home 24/7 and do whatever it is that (I never want to know) they do... So why would Curtis have to pay?  I really hope she doesn't ask because I'm not sure how polite I can be and I absolutely don't want anything to do with whatever beef she's going to cause about this.  She apparently feels that her rights to happiness are being infringed and this goes against the Ontario tennant act. Well I'm no fancy lawyer but I'm pretty sure if you're using the visitor parking every single day, you're no longer a visitor.

And I'm also pretty sure if you know the ins and outs of the Ontario Tennant Act and you're not a law student of sorts, then chances are you've had some complaints against you in the past or you stir up shiz everywhere you go...

In a related and yet unrelated note, I got a parking ticket where I've been parking every work day for the last 9 months on Friday. How does that even happen? Actually there's a whole slew of us that park next to the MEXX at Blair and we all had one. But yesterday and hopefully today I had nothing. There are unofficial park-n-rides all over this city and I assumed after 9 months that I had found one!!

Going home, keep your fingers crossed that I don't have a ticket, I don't have to deal with GS and Finny and me can hang out and clean the kitchen for the big reveal!!

Best Cry Ever

Curtis had this on his facebook this morning and I just saw it on Perez and watched it, and then watched it again, and again just now. I can already feel myself burning a little, but I think it's a feel good cry because we can all relate to an occasional "ugly cry".

I, however, never have a nice cry... it's always chin-a-quiverin, instant nose leaking, red faced, mouth hippo wide open and I sound like I'm in labor. However my worst ugly cry in public was at Marley & Me. It was a combination of emotions and I just blurted the weirdest sound and I knew if I let myself go just a little I would bawl for hours... it's was horrible . So I sat there bitting my sleeve praying I could keep the flood gates closed! I felt really bad for Curtis, because I know he wanted to laugh but felt awful. In retrospect, I totally would have laughed at me!!

Take a minute and tell me your ugliest cry moment. Come'on, you can even leave it anonymously ;)

♫♪ It's a beautiful morning ♪♫

Naawwwwwwt!!!

It's rainy gross out and once again I have old people in my kitchen. On the upside tho, today should be the  official LAST day of kitchen renos. There's a man patching stuff and painting the walls and my landlord has finally deemed it time for me to have running water in the kitchen. (because washing dishes in the bathtub is totally feasable).

I seriously need to find something/ someone else to blog about. The reno's are almost done and I haven't seen hide nor hair nor boob from GS. But Richard did text me last night "we need to talk" when I was helping Curtis unpack. Those words are always bad news when a spouse or significant other blurts them out, but when your gay upstairs neighbor utters them, it means serious gossip. Or in Richard the grass nazi's case, it could just mean someone's dog poo'ed in the grass. (And no, it's not Finnegan)

So here's the latest pics of my kitchen. Needless to say, I love it. It's a gazillion times better than what I had before and once it's painted and set up I might have to change this blog to some kind of Julie & Julia type of thing. Until then, it will remain all about me and my ghetto fabulous apartment. ;)  


Oh! Before I go I'd like to give a big shout out to Monika and Dan who have just sold their gorgeous house without even listing it.... Yup, it's that gorgeous! Good job guys :)
