Funny Saturday

I know I haven't come through on my promise of having a funny post on Fridays so in an attempt to make up for it, I give you this:

Scene: I come home after experiencing a sore throat and sore ears all day. On top of that, Keith had previously emailed me saying his throat had been sore too.

Keith: 'Um, thanks for putting your toothbrush right up against mine. No wonder I'm not feeling well, you spreading your germs to me'. Note: I guess according to him, our kissing is magically germ free. Keep in mind, this is also the guy that didn't know women wipe themselves after going pee! Oh gawd, he's going to kill me for sharing that tidbit.
Me: 'Oh gawd! What are you talking about?' I giggle. I go into the bathroom to find this:

Me: I come out of the bathroom and say, 'Oh hun, that's just a sign that even when we're not together, our mouths can't bare to be apart'!!! (Come on, that looks cute, doesn't it???! lol).

Keith: EYE ROLL BIG TIME. LOL!

In other news: We had BIG plans to go camping since I'm on holidays this upcoming week but that fell through as the weather isn't looking too good. In an attempt to avoid passing up my holidays we've decided to go on a mini-honeymoon. Stay tuned for pictures and stories upon our return. :)

ps. Papa J is looking after Marley and our home so we wish him luck as we just haven't gotten Marley that rabies shot yet. :s

Downer Day. :s

Today is a downer day. I’m sure everyone can relate to that phrase, especially if you live in Saskatchewan and are currently enduring the rain and the bone chilling chilliness. I know, wah, wah ,wah. But seriously, this weather is bumming me out!

To add to that (insert more whining here) and be on your way. Otherwise, you get to read about how I’m feeling a wee bit under the weather. It’s nothing major as I know I’ve felt worse when I’ve been sick previous times. This time, my throat is sore, my ears hurt and I want to curl into a big ball and sleep. Oh, if only I could sleep for hours and hours without distraction! I normally could do that but lately Marley has gotten into this habit of attacking his cage with his teeth and nails every couple of hours which wakes me up now and again. It’s a good thing the F***NUGGET is so cute or he might wake up to find himself out on the balcony where I wouldn’t hear him! Lol.

I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that I feel better in no time because….I’m on HOLIDAYS next week! Oh, YESIAM! I’m really looking forward to it! I think it will be great to be outdoors and camping and doing whatever the heck I/we want for an ENTIRE week!!! However, Keith just told me and said the weather isn’t looking all that great which means I would postpone my time off. Then again, the weather report can change a hundred times before then. What other province do you get to experience every season in one day? This is Saskatchewan after all. Lol.

Hope all of you are staying warm and dry.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!!

Hey everyone! I'm home from Calgary and had a very enjoyable weekend. We didn't do too much but we got in a movie, some shopping, good food, great visiting and the best ice cream I've ever had! Technically, I'm not supposed to have ice cream but that can be our little secret!

ROUND 1: (Kim's demise)
We went to this creamery which I can't recall the name of at this moment but OMG, so good. I had the peanut butter crunch big dipper and I drool all over again to think of it. However, as yummy as it was, I would refrain from making it a habit to go. Not only can it easily add to my weight, but it can just as easily drain my pocketbook at a whopping $7 + for what I had.

I will find out the name and let you all in on it because I think everyone should try it just once. Yes, it was that good!!! Then again I always think, why introduce myself to something good that could be the start of something OHSO bad?! For this round, I'll let Jane take the blame for this round. lol.

ROUND 2: (Kim's revenge)
A few weeks ago we had our annual food day at work. I believe it is my most favorite day of all work days. One of our co-workers brought in a deliscious tasting guacamole. Honestly, the best I have EVER had and I've had a whole lot of guacamole. (I write this previous line and am reminded again why I have the chass that I do). Anyway, that's an entirely different story. So, I had being DYING to give this recipe a try.

When I first arrived to Calgary, Jane and I went to get groceries and picked up everything we needed to make this yummy in my tummy guacamole. Last night after a day of shopping, Jane went to chillax and I got to work. I'm not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I'm not the greatest cook/baker/dip maker in the world. I actually freak out a little when I plan to undertake something that involves me creating a 'dish'. But, I followed the ingredients and made my own additions and cut back on some ingredients to form my own version to suit my taste. It was OMGSODELISCIOUSIDROOLEDANDCOULDEATITFOREVEREVERYDAY!!!!!!
Well, atleast it tasted that good to me. For the REAL test, I had Jane come down and had her put her taste buds to the test. She thought it was so good, I got HUGS! Take that Chef Ramsey! HA! I only wish I could take credit for creating such a good recipe but I can't so I will say thanks to M.B. :)

I don't have the recipe on me at this moment as Jane made me leave it with her.lol. However, I will check with M.B. to see if I can share it with all of you. I believe Jane is now addicted and I'll gladly take the blame for this round.

I guess it's a tie and we're both screwed if we have easy access to the creamery or to the ingredients and recipe for the guacamole. hehe.

Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend!!! :)

24 hours

In just over 24 hours I will be in Calgary!!! A-WOO-HOO!

We don't have many plans but I know it's going to be a great time. I probably won't blog while I'm there because I'm there to visit, not blog. hehe. However, I will take pictures and post them upon my return.

I'm pretty sure that I'll have some good shots of me attempting to make guacamole as that is my main 'project' for the time I'm there. At least that way, I can say I did something while away.lol.


Happy long weekend everyone!!! :)

New rule!

I am officially adding a new rule to my list:

White pants should be outlawed for some people. Especially! if they are white enough that you can see the dimples in their ass and can also pretty much SEE their ass. It's just wrong in my opinion!
Although, I may be a bitch and should stop being so judgemental but then I wouldn't be me. teehee.

But really, these people give people like me ('fatties') a bad rap when they wear things they shouldn't. It sends the message that bigger people can't dress well because of their size. I mean, I'm the first to admit there are some outfits plus-sized stores sell that look horrible. For example, when I was trying on a few dresses one time, I looked like a pic-a-nic (booboo) table. Did I go ahead and buy it, why helz noooooooo! So why, oh why, do some people feel the urge to buy something that they try on knowing that it shows EVERY sin and reveals even the tiniest freckle on their chass?

GAWD only knows.....

My sweetest thang!

Today was another weigh-in day for our challenge at work and I'm glad to say that the scale reflected that I'm 7.1 pounds down. Now whether that is accurate or not is an entirely different story. Although, I have to give myself some credit. We've been going to the gym anywhere between three to five times a week. On top of that we do our aqua size twice a week which has also got to count for something.

For the first time since we started going to the gym I actually think I noticed a difference. I mean, every now and then my pants feel a lil' bigger but other than that I have often felt like all this exercise has made much difference. Most importantly, I feel good and that's what matters the most to me but it didn't hurt that when walking by a mirror today, my chass was no longer quite as chassy. For those of you that don't know, chass is a word I created to equal chunky+ass. So anyway, I was like YAY for me and my less chassy chass! I go girl!

The sweetest thing is this:
Last night I was saying to Keith how I ate poorly over the weekend and was worried about my weigh in. I said that I probably haven't lost anything since last week....
His response: No matter what that scale says, you won't lose me.

Okay, go puke first but then think of how really sweet it is to hear someone say that. If you're overweight like me, you have probably had times in your life where you've been rejected for a job or for a team or by a person. I've lived it and it's not fun in any way, shape or form. I'm not trying to be Miss braggity-brag-brag at all. I just want to get this sweet moment down in 'writing' so that I'll never forget how lucky I am to have such an amazing and supportive husband (who is currently sitting here getting antsy while I type this before going to spend some quality time together.lol).

But yes, he truly is, my sweetest thang. :)

When did people get so....

When did people get so LAZY?! I really want to know when this happened. Have people always been slow and lazy and I just never noticed until I got older and more crusty?! Is it possible that I have become like an older aunt or uncle or grandparent? (like how I left my parents out of that comment?)

After work today I stopped at Co-op to get some groceries. And you know what, HEAVEN FORBID the lady at the till actually had to move her arms to get the scanner to beep! I actually found it quite comical but I was annoyed at the same time. Like she takes the item and holds it up to the scanner and nothing is happening. So she continues to stand there waiting for something to happen and then *sighs* because it's not scanning. Then, she moves her hand like a quarter of an inch and it beeps. THEN, she sighs AGAIN because apparently moving her wrist was quite the task for her to do while AT WORK! lol.

All I can say is, my bejesus people sure do seem to get lazier as time goes on. Does anyone have any work ethic any more, like even an ounce?!

Dang, I SO sound like my father right now. EEEPPPP! lol.

TGIF, like seriously!

I am OH SO happy it is Friday. lalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. :)
Of course today was a busy day and I'm just MORE than ecstatic to be at home with my husband now that the work day is done. Can I get a.....A-WOO-HOO?!

The biggest news aside from being busy (which seems to be far too often lately), is that I'm going to Calgary next weekend. WHICH, I am super pumped about! Plans of shopping and wining and dining....nnnnoooo, not me. Okay, well, we'll wine and dine but I can live without the shopping part.

I'm going for a girls weekend to see my lovely gal pal Jane and the time couldn't be better! We have no plans except to eat, drink, and visit in her lovely new home on her lovely new deck. Oh, and of course we'll probably watch some girlie movies.

This will officially be the longest time Keith and I have been apart since Keith and I 'got serious'! It's going to be quite the experience I would imagine. One thing I absolutely LOVE about Keith is his voice. Since he's hard of hearing, he's unable to communicate on the phone. It'll be weird going that long without hearing his voice. :(
I will survive but still, I love his voice with a capital LOVE! lol.

As for this weekend, Saturday is somewhat 'action packed'. Tomorrow I have a wedding shower to attend and things to get done around the house and some errands to run. Sunday, I got nada but at the rate things are going, I'd be surprised if plans didn't come up. All is fine by me as long as the sun is out!

Well, off to have some supper and canoodle with the love of my life. I know...eeeeeeeewwwww, right? RIGHT!

Weekly Weigh-In

HI there everyone! I'm back...well at least until my next exam takes over my time with reading and studying and yada, yada, yada. hehe.

Yesterday was our weigh-in day and I'm down 3 pounds. Can I get a: A-WOO-HOO?! I think 3 down is pretty good even though I was hoping to be down a lil' more than that. We hadn't had a weigh-in for two weeks so I thought maybe some magic would happen and I would have stepped on that scale and shaved a good 5 pounds off my tush. A girl can dream, right? RIGHT!

On that same note, I believe my dietitian and I need to have a discussion about her math skills. She figures that with my calorie intake and activity level, I should be losing a good 2-3 per week. Um, I beg to differ. Although, it's not her fault that sometimes I give into the temptation of DQ or McD's or any other fast food joint that can make me feel warm and cozy on a rainy day. I mean, I am human after all!

In other news, some sad and good things have happened. I won't get into the sad cause we're here for a good time, not a long time. The sad things that have happened don't affect me directly but my thoughts are definitely swamped with prayers for the families of a few people I know. The good news, well, I can't let the cat out of the bag on another friend's good news so....I won't use her name!lol. But a friend of mine (and her husband) is having a BABY! This will be their first and she's like 3 months along and they had the first ultrasound and it's ALL-SO-VERY-EXCITING!

Yet again, the universe has proven that when one life ends, another begins.

Bad Romance

Happy Mother's Day to everyone that has children, pets, nieces and nephews! Just because someone doesn't have a child of their own in their life doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't a 'mom' to someone at certain times.:)
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great day and on a completely unrelated note, I came across this enjoyable video!


http://ca.video.yahoo.com/watch/7415200/19401823

Again, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! :)

Never again

Never again will I go to Costco with children. I don't say this because I have deemed that all children are bad or anything like that. My intention, is to keep them safe from the 'other' people inside Costco. You know the people I'm talking about...the type that will run anything over to get to that 100 pack of toilet paper for $20, even if it means ending a child's life. Yeah, those people.

I'm not a fan of shopping in any way, shape or form but today (despite the headache that I STILL have) I decided to take an adventure because there were definitely some things I needed in bulk for brunch tomorrow. So my sister, my niece, my aunt and I made our way to the east end (yuck - no offense east enders but whoever created the design for the roads was on SOMETHING). Obviously, we hit up Costco where people almost hit up my niece like, on every single aisle. I mean, I'm not the biggest fan when a child gets between me and good deals either but would I run them over, probably not. I might say something like, hey kid, get the F*** outta my way but I think we can all agree that that would be less risky than taking the kid out with my 100 pound cart! Unless! The kids 500 pound mom or dad hears and ends up pounding me, but still! Anyway, lesson learned - my niece stays in the cart on our next journey.

OH, and I bought coke zero AGAIN and did NOT forget to put it in the cart this time. Another lesson learned! :)

Nothing new here

I hate to say this because I haven't blogged in almost a week but I haven't got much to say. I know, right?! Me, having nothing to say...kind of like the odds me not wanting to sing or dance. hehe.

In a nutshell my week has not consisted of too many exciting things. Mostly, I've been busy studying and I've been getting headaches here and there. Today was by far the worst...started at about 8 this morning and here it is, after 8 at night, and it's still here inside my head. If anyone has a cure for me to try, let me know as I'm open to suggestions. :)

On a positive note:
1) I just 'barely' passed my test, no thanks to my headache.
2) I got groped on Thursday at aqua size which I surely did enjoy. (Thanks again Michelle!). :)
3) On our way into aqua size, I heard a girl saying to her mom 'I want candy' repeatedly and laughed and said to Michelle, 'hhhmmm, I think it's safe to say she wants candy' which really isn't all that funny but hey, I already warned you this blog would not be exciting.lol. But then, in aqua size, one of the songs was 'I want candy'. I'd like to think some higher power was giving me authorization to have some candy - but I didn't. Stupid weight loss program!!! :s

And now that my studying is done for the time being, and life in general has hopefully slowed down a little, I shall be back to my regular blogging schedule. If anyone is still reading this after a week long lull, thanks for sticking around. :)

Must be nice

Oh, it must be nice for Keith and Marley to do absolutely nothing all day today (Sunday) while I study. I hit the books while they, well, napped and did pretty much nothing. Okay, well Keith actually did me a big favor and went to help my aunt with something. But Marley, well he was a lazy F***NUGGET for the better part of the day.
Oh, and I think I solved the mystery of why Marley isn't using his litter to go to the bathroom! Scroll down and you'll see why....



Oh yes, the lil' F'nugget is sleeping in his litter box. OYE!
