Safety second

Josh who was our director for KWLT's Canned Hamlet and Safety second the play first became a now common saying for any performance. So Kristy has graciously allowed me, Aleriel, Jackie and Tim to use the house for rehearsal. The bonus for me is I live a 2 second drive away!!

So on Saturday I started down the stairs to the basement and classic me I fell - didn't spill a drop of my coffee though (lol).

Anyway Joe was away this weekend and I was doing some ab work in the living room but it was too sore to lie on my back. I didn't check it out I just figured it was 'cause I fell.Joe came home today and we were getting "reaquianted" and I already told him that I fell and so I asked if there was a bruise and he looks and says "Oh my God" The picture is what he saw.

Also I was playing with my little degus and one of them got hurt although I don't know how. Here's a picture of my injured little guy. Although he seems to be okay now. It must have happened sometime today because he was fine yesterday.

There's irony for ya!

I was thinking last week how happy I was to be back at work and how much I love my job. To the point of ALMOST putting it in a thank you card for the gifts to my boss. It's amazing how fast that can change in a matter of days. Ron is being a total dickmaster and is the the foulest of moods is doing absolutely no legal work and is putting everything on me - seriously I'm done. Well, not really but it feels good the make the veiled threat - even if it just reminds me when I go back on these posts how I felt.

There is already one e-mail on here about him talking shit but he hasn't been rude - not yet anyway and Rachel thinks he was tearing up when she went in earlier. Anyway more work A LOT more work to do.

Back at it and tired to boot!

So Joe's now back at night school starting tonight. He goes Monday, Tuesday and Thursday - he's hoping to get into the Wednesday night class but we'll see. So I did my new years cleaning of the dressers and closet and got rid of two garbage bagful's of clothes that I had to have but never seem to wear anymore. Oh well, more for the donation people next time they call.


Lately I have had a lot of trouble getting to bed not sleep mind you but actually getting to bed - I'm not doing anything terribly important (last night it was the terribly important game of Zuma) but I never seem to hit the hay until after midnight. It's not that I'm not tired - quite the opposite in fact - and it really seems to hit me in the morning when I have to get up for work the next day! At 35 I really should be able to put myself to bed at night!! It's quite disturbing really. Oh well, new plan ~ start getting ready at 10:00 (ie pjs, teeth brushed, face washed, clothes set out for next day etc) and in bed by no later than 10:45 p.m. Let's just see how that works for now. Geez you would think I was 3-5 not 35 :)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Grrr!! I hate that song. It has snown A LOT these past few days. I miss the year that it didn't snow until Christmas Eve - that was just last year I believe!!!

Well there is more than a 'light dusting' when I got up this morning - Rachel and I seem to be leaving for work earlier and earlier but getting to work at about the same time - oh the joys of the winter season. There will be a crapload of shovelling when I get home tonight - the good news Joe's night classes have finished so he can help - BAH HA HA!

Good news though my Christmas shopping is almost done yeah - one more gift for Joe and Rachel and tonight I am heading over to Stephen's - the thought is take pictures of the kids (25 black and white and 25 in colour of each one) choose the best one and print and frame for my parents - I am running out of ideas for them each year. I picked up for my brother and my sister in law this Niagara overnight stay - I hope they like it and more important USE IT!!!

Work has slowed down a bit finally and we are off from December 21 to January 2 whoo hoo! 2.5 to go and then 11 days off - can't wait.

The weekend

We (Joe and I) went to his work Christmas party on Saturday - since he's only been there for three weeks so he didn't know very many people but it was still fun. It was at the Transylvania club. The food was okay but nothing amazing. We left soon after dinner. I wore the dress that Joe bought me when we were in Austalia - yes I realize it is an oriental dress.

Sunday we went bowling with Avery again

Sunday night I had my first read through - rehearsals start on Thursday - Wednesday I have an improv workshop. Kristy and I are going together.

Lights, audience ACTION

Well I found out yesterday that I got the part - Whoo hoo. Kristy is the other character in the play double whoo hoo!!!! It's way more lines and way more responsibility but I am sooooo happy! It runs from January 31 to February 2, 2008!

Note the awesomeness of me in the pictue (ha ha)

Work is not as stressful as of late. We might get those nasty clients (can't mention the name due to confidentiality) off our back F-I-N-A-L-L-Y The proposal came in from the mediator today! Let's just see what happens!

The season is starting already unfolding with snow yesterday (grrr!) and my schedule filling up - which I love but hate at the same time. Last week I was in TO to visit friends, this weekend is Jacki's housewarming tonight, Joe's Christmas party tomorrow, Sunday will consist of soccer at 10, bowling with Rachel and Avery at 1 followed by an early dinner because my read through is from 6-10 Sunday night - yikes!

Next week I have to start my Christmas shopping. Rachel and I are going to spend Saturday doing our thing - it will probably go a little faster without Avery :)

Other than that things are really, really great - I love this season even though it's busy.

Never again....

Will I weigh over 200 lbs - I finally hit 199.0 and I am proud and very very happy - now only 80 more to go!!!I just have to remember that and remind myself that Michelle's wedding is only 10 short months away. It's getting harder to eat less in front of Joe - it works that I say I'm not hungry and eat later - and then he goes to school and I don't have to eat anything all night Whoo hoo! And no one here at work really cares what I eat anyway.I took a ton of b/w photos last night (yes all of me) and they are all organized into fours which will go to my parents - this sound very vain but damn I am looking fine - I even consider doing a few to hand up but we'll see - I do want to laminate my acting posters only because it's so so much fun and I want to remember my achivements.Anyway at work so I will sign off and maybe later add a couple of smokin' photos.
