Sad Cupcake Face :(

Hey, some of you (about 3 in total) might be wondering where I've been of late and what's the what on why I'm not posting... here's the truth of the matter. I'm just lame.  Yep, got a case of the post holiday blahs & credit card bill anxiety!

Other contributing factors but not really good excuses are:
  • New job is very busy. Didn't know I got a new job? Well now you do. It's still at the same place but a significant amount of levels higher, thus more work/ responsibility. Main advantage to this new job, a flex schedule... oh yah baby, I come and go as I please... well within the 37.5 hr work week  confines and between 8am-6pm, living large...
  • Been busy with the parents having just moved back from the Caymans. didn't know my parents moved back, well now you do. 
  • Been kinda depresso since Curtis went home after the holidays to visit family back in Cape Breton.  Cheesy I know, but it's true, he's my main source of interesting information and he's also usually the photog when taking hilarious pics of Fin, so now you can see why the blog has been suffering.
  • A new firiend seems to turn 30 every few weeks and although the celebrations are fun, the innevitable fact is that in a couple of months its going to be... okay well in like 5 months to be exact but still, I'm def not ready. All my favorite shows are people in high school... actually in defense of Gossip Girl, they're fresh out of highschool, so that doesn't count.
  • And lastly, a Part B of the last bullet, I'm addicted to Pretty Little Liars.  A show that has kept me awake until the wee hours of the weekday mornings in the very same week that I started my new job. Can someone say stupid? I can. I've watched the first season twice now... can someone say double stupid? Yup. So I've been a zombie all week, but don't worry, not a real one, just a "people under the stairs" kind.
So there you have it folks, 5 very valid facts on why I don't have the stamina, energy or gumption (Sp?) to post nonesense. I have a feeling I'll be back to normal by tomorrow... or maybe Wednesday... but no promises.

Side note, although I haven't been posting, my swing kids and Angry Birds posts are still going strong. I could probably retire with just those two in the repertoire.

During my hiatus my friend Krista and I came up with a new word. Take care + tah tah= Tankerah... it's birth mostly stems from an accent, a disastrous double shot of tanqauray gin and a clumsy bartender.

So Tankarah y'all (take care)!

Happy Birthday Vero!!

Happy Birthday Vero!!

My bestie since the 3rd grade turns 30 today!
(Yes it's a double whammy with Curtis on the same day!)

To your left you'll notice a pretty cool symbol we had come up with when we were likely around the age of 11 or 12.  I can't remember if I have all the letters correct but the V and upside down V are for Vero, my LB, LS is for Lip Stick I think Vero was the stick and she was a skinny child and I never shut up. And the SS I'm not sure if those are right because it would have been a complete plagerism of my sister and her bestie for Sweet and Sour. (Do teens still do this? lol)  Anywho I think it's hilarious and obvsiouly after 20 years I still remember it so it must have had some kind of impact on me!

Just like with Melina, I have a gazillion inside jokes and stories I could reminisce about but I'll save it for the party on Friday, that way I can use my wicked awesome acting skills!

Hope you have a great day, and great weekend and hell, it's your month!!

Love you :)

Happy Birthday shmooopie!!




My boyfriennn turns old today y'all!! ;)

35 years old to be exact!



This handsome fella, also known as Bear, Poppop, Curtie-Pie and C-Mac is the known for his hilarity, fashion sense, and mad rapping skilz. (And I'm actually serious!)

Hope you're having a greart trip, eating lots of Breakfast Clubs, Garlic Fingers, Steak Burgers, Pizza subs and all those other deliciously weird things you guys eat up there!

I love him and miss him and can't wait to celebrate when he gets back!


Muuuuuuuuuah!
Love Lorraine and Finny the Poo

Not a New Years Resolution...

While getting fit and actually going to the gym for which I already pay for are some of my resolutions, doing this kind of workout entitled INSANITY isn't and kinda triggers the ol' doucher alarm. 


And yes, yes, I know it's the makers of P90X and your coworker got instant results... so then do the P90X, don't encourage lazy marketers by buying poorly re-packaged products like this:
