Sunday! Time for a blog update!

So, the whole "Bullet Sunday" thing was stolen from a blogger who actually blogs multiple times in a week. Me? Not so much. So, instead of being a "Bullet Sunday" ....how about just a "wow! You actually blogged again" Sunday!

anyway....

I'm watching the Ellen Degeneres special "Here and Now" for the billionth time. Man, that lady is hillarious! I've loved her since the mid-80s when I caught her as part of the "Women of the Night" HBO special. Hollie and I used to quote that special TO DEATH. Sorry if we knew you then; I'm sure we annoyed you with our "Suffa Pope" line (although that was a Judy Tenuta quote!)


- Saw Wolverine today. It was pretty good! Dont' believe the haters! :D Oh, and have you seen how hot Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are? Now, put them together! There's a sandwich I'd like to be in (yea, I totally went there!)

- We got a new addition to our family this week. Our friend Suzy moved to a new place, and couldn't take her orange cat Merlin her....so, we now have a 5-year old orange cat too! Hesh, not a fan yet. Merlin, the scardiest cat I've ever met. So, this is gonna be interesting! But, he's a real sweetheart and the fattest cat ever. I think he's even bigger than my sil's jack russell! But, that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.

- I wish the scheduling at work was done differently. I'm not asking for the responsibility; I'm sure it can't be easy. But, how hard is it to give someone a day off when they're already allowed to have 2 days off a week? I needed a Sunday off for Diana's birthday party....and I'm scheduled to work 1:30-9:30. Really? And of the 6 PC's in our department....4 of them have it off? Really? Oh well....at least I work with cool people and hope to be able to swap my shift with one of them. Crikey! :D

Wow...this is a lot of writing! I should stop soon. I have to watch last week's Desperate Housewives before this week's is on!

Until later....next Sunday perhaps?

Bullet Sunday #4

w00t! Three weeks in a row now...is there no stopping me? lol

And on to another Bullet Sunday....

- Might have to start a new feature on the blog called "Actual Conversation with Diana." This week's installment:

• D: There's something brown on my bed
• K: What is it?
• {smell wafts into the room}
• K: Diana, is it poo?
• D: I dunno, maybe?

- The warm weather is making a lot of people happy...me? Just getting cranky. I don't like the heat. I like the "no jacket" weather, but not when my house is 80 degrees. It's gonna be a long, whiney summer folks!

- The warm weather does mean that the grill is back, baby! Yay!

- I watch way too much tv. When I spend a good portion of my day off trying to catch up on dvr'd shows, it should make a dent in the percentage of used-up hard drive on said dvr. Not so....cuz I tape 'em as fast as I watch 'em folks!

- I really need to stop referring to my friends/blog followers as folks. Indeedy, I do.

- I love shopping at Wegmans. It really makes me happy happy happy.

- Twitter is fun. Yes, I'm a twit.

Guess that's about it for now.....yea, it's not an exciting life! But, it's mine!

Bullet Sunday #3

Yea! 2 in a row, baby!

- Actual converstion with Diana:

• D: I want eggs for breakfast
• K: Ok, do you want scrambled eggs or microwave eggs?
• D: No, I want chocolate eggs!

- Susan Boyle's voice is amazing!

- Cupcakes made with Cadbury Creme Eggs in the center sound better than they are :( Disappointing :(

- Dave from Blogography replied to a Tweet I sent him and it sent me over the moon. Yes, 572 tweet-followers makes you more than a celebrity in my books!

- Getting used to working days again...waking up early sucks!

- I made tacos for dinner, but got mad when my "stand up tacos" fell over. Then, I didn't eat the rest of them. That'll show 'em...stoopid tacos.

- I need a portable computer! hehehe

Guess that's it for now....
Thanks for listening!

Bullet Sunday #2

- yea, bullets don't make me blog any more than usual....actually, it turns out to be less :( easter resolution; i will try to blog more

- fun day with mum, joe, su, russell, devon, jay and diana. not too much drama....pretty good for us for a holiday!

- i miss my wacky brother-in-law; just hearing him beep in at one point on the cell phone made me sad that he's not around for family-fun-time

- ok, for reals, the diet must start. this is getting ridiculous!

- i love my husband more and more every day, even if i don't show it. who else would put up with my cranky attitude for 10+ years?

- weekends go by way too fast :(

- i had fun coloring with my new crayons today....and posted my artwork on my mother-in-law's fridge :D

Bullet Sunday #1

(an idea I'm totally stealing from Dave at blogography.com)

- my daughter is quite passive aggressive, even if she doesn't know it

- exercise hurts

- whopper cake is a great invention

- working on a Sunday is fun; no really, it is

- my husband is awesome

- WalMart is a great place to catch up with old friends and family

- I'm an idiot when it comes to knowing what my work and home schedules are

so i'm guessing this blogging thing isn't going to be every day, although i check other people's pretty regularly and get mad when it's not updated (*cough* hypocrite *cough*) hahaha

not too much going on....except a bad back that's really making me angry. one minute, my back is fine, the next, pinched nerve and i'm walking like my dear great-aunt mary, all hunched over and such. it truly does suck getting old!

so, last friday, i got an email from my bestest friend in ohio and we made a phone date....i called her saturday and we talked for 2 1/2 hours! i miss her so much. but, i was successful in my plan to get her to join facebook! yay me! it was sad talking to her, realizing that she bought her house in 2002, and i still haven't seen it! i don't like that life gets in the way of doing things! stoopid life!

work is meh.....it's there, and i love the people i work with, but i know it's not what i want to do for the rest of my life. but, it's paying my bills (kinda) and there's no extra money to put towards what i want to do, which would include going back to school. even if i went for osap and such, what am i going to do with my kid in the meantime?

you know those people that say "i can't remember my life without kids?" well, i can! and i miss it! please do not misconstrue that statement into "i don't want my kid" because i love diana more than i thought i could love anyone and wouldn't change a thing....but i can vividly remember my life before her. maybe true, deep labour pains erase those memories or something, and since i didn't go into deep labour, those memories remain. hmmmm....maybe i'm on to something. like in the movie "men in black" when they use their little light-pen things to erase the person's memory...maybe that was supposed to happen!

again, i don't regret diana....i just remember a time without her. was it better? depends on your perspective. would i go back? nah, i like the kid...let's keep her around. :P i was never one of those people who said "i can't wait to have kids" ...i didn't want kids. ask around, my family and friends will vouche for me on that one. i actively tell my friends now "don't have kids...don't do it!" i am glad that i waited until i was deep into my 30s before i had her. i lived a fun life. regrets? i have a few....but it was fun. my fun and craziness led me to jay. mistake? i think not! i remember my life without jay...i thought i was happy back then. i can look back now and see that i really wasn't.

wow....how did this get so deep? this has to stop! and i'm going to go watch the end of top chef now.... :P

til later....hopefully it won't be another 2 weeks!

Friday the 13th!

Today's friday the 13th. Not too exciting, just thought I would acknowledge it. Don't make a fuss, there's another one next month! :P

Sorry I haven't written much. Blogging has kind of made me realize that I don't really do much! lol

I did, however, join a "Biggest Loser" type challenge at work. Just weighed in Monday and we're going for 16 weeks...which will bring us to June 1. Honestly, I haven't done much in the way of "diet" this week. But, what I am trying to do is watch my portions. Hopefully I will see a bit of a change at the scales. Once I get my T4, and we get our taxes done, I'm getting an elliptical. I need to get moving, and that way I can exercise while still spending time at home...and not getting behind on Lost and the like!

I had a "short day" at work on Tuesday. In an effort to cut payroll without losing jobs, everyone loses 2 1/2 hours a week. Meh, it's better than looking for a job. So...feelin' fine, out of work when the sun is still out, get to spend some extra time with Diana, get dinner started well in advance of Jay coming home ....BAM...45 minutes later my sinuses are stuffed and I feel like hell. Wednesday wasn't much better at work. My customer's couldn't even understand me. Lovely. But, I got thru it! :D I'm such a trouper! lol

We went to Kindergarten open house last week. Diana's so excited to start school. She didn't want to leave. The teachers seemed nice...but young! omg...I'm such an old lady! It will be an adventure having a kid in school. Everyone keeps asking "when are you having another one?" Yea....no thanks. She's a handful and I'm finally getting her off to school? Yea, I'm good. hahaha

I think that's about it for now......told you, I have a boring life!
