You wanna try my cans?

More new shoes
Oh yea. Another pair of new shoes.
Me and my hair

The boss is gone for the rest of the week and everyone is tucked away in their little offices making no noise at all. There is nothing to do so mindless jobs have been given to me. I substitute working on them with hours of Internet surfing. That is my only salvation at this point. Blogging seems very appealing right now.

Through no fault but my own I cut the nail on my big toe on my left foot too much. It didn't start to bother me until last night at the gym on the stair master. I really have no idea why I chose the stair master. It began to hurt unstoppably. I was seriously not in the mood for a painful big toe. It hurt for the rest of the night and the only thing that made it feel better was hot water. I probably have an ingrown toe nail on my hands. Or feet for that matter. I am not impressed with myself.

I've decided to get some sushi for lunch today.

This post seems so blase today. Maybe that's because I am blase today.

Tonight we are going to Walmart to buy some cheap deck chairs that we can sit out on the communal deck and sun tan on. Our next door neighbours are really starting to piss me off. They hate everyone right now because everyone hates them for illegally having too many people living in their apartment. They also allowed their kid to scream and cry for an hour last night. He went from on the deck to in the house to the hallway. He also uses the communal sitting area as his play room. This guy is pissing me off. The whole damn apartment building pisses me off.

I was so sore from the gym this morning that all I did was put on old jeans, vans, a black shirt, hair in a pony tail, mascara, brush teeth, AND GO. I didn't even put on earings. That is how lame I am today.

I think I am going to go tag all Marlees pictures on facebook now since I'm bored and shes at work. I'll save her some time.

How to shut me up

When the pizza came Sunday night I opened the door and grabbed the boxes from the guy. I then backed up so I could put the boxes down on the floor and then I could pay. What I didn't know was that the door started to close on me and I was directly in line with the handle. So as I moved back the little thumb thing you press down on to open the door pierced my back. I awkwardly squirmed as to not alarm the pizza guy and painfully paid him for his services. I shut the door and hobbled to the couch and screamed in a pillow. I lifted the back of my shirt and Chad confirm the source of the pain; a GIANT welt on my back. OMG was it painful.

Oddly enough it didn't leave a bruise, but my back muscle STILL hurts like a biatch.

Friggin door handles.

A Night of a Thousand Jews.

All the work I did at the gym last week went to shit this weekend after consuming beers and poutine and pizza. But I must say it was well, well, worth it.

Saturday we spent the afternoon out in White Rock and Langley visiting and having lunch. It was such a nice day out and it was so nice to get out and visit. We had lunch with Chads mom and then headed over to one of his co-workers new house to check it out. It made me want a house, and even more so, a yard. Desperately yearning for a yard right now.

After all that we came home and hung out waiting for the crew to come over for dinner. We have actually mastered the communal dinner. I make a salad and usually potatoes or some other veggie and everyone brings there own meat that Chad then BBQ's. It's perfect for those nights where we are all going out to the bar together and want to hang out before hand. It easier for me then having to make an entire meal and its easier then everyone making their own dinners by themselves.

BBQing
Meat

We had a collection of meats this time around that included pork sausages, a hamburger, chicken breast, moose steaks, and beef tenderloin.

Dario & his Sambuca
Post dinner guitar hero

After dinner Pat played Guitar Hero for the last time for the next 4 months, and Dario & Marlee argued over who could pour an inch and a half of Sambuca into a glass better. It was priceless.

Post that, we headed over to my house to park the cars and catch the bus to none other then The Cambie. Shocking I know. We went to the CAMBIE. Our home away from home.

Running
Soccer with Metal

Pat and Dario thought it would be fun to kick a metal square down the road almost hitting numerous cars along the way. When those two get together they are like two peas in a pod. They recite comedy shows together and sing together and play dibs together. It's the cutest thing ever. I'm sorry BUT IT IS!

Alright so then comes the point where we waited for what seemed like forever for the bus to come. We wanted to be down there by 9 but it was getting late and the bus wasn't arriving. So finally it does and we hop on. It's packed so we had to hang onto the poles near one of the doors. We all wanted to face each other so we stood in a circle causing Pat to stand directly in front of this guy who was trying to read the paper. Patz ass was in his face and this guy was ANNOYED. I think I was the only one who noticed it but didn't say anything thinking Pat would eventually feel something brush his ass and this would cause him to realized his ass was too close to this guy. No such thing happened.

Bussy
Chad Ryan Pat

We eventually reach the border between Burnaby & Vancouver where the bus drivers usually switch and so this new guy comes on. I swear to God he was on crack. All of a sudden he takes off and everyone goes flying. He is peddle to the metal the whole way there. All of us were actually scared for our lives. He was passing cars and cutting them off. He almost side swiped a car to the point where the car realized the bus was NOT slowing down and had to bust it in reverse. When we eventually got to our stop all we could smell was Chad starting off a night of farting and his breaks burnt to a crisp, not to mention the burnt rubber. This guy was INSANE. I was so thankful to get off at that point.

The Cambie!

So we headed down to our hot spot where Chad walked in no problem and Ryan got ID'd. Found ourselves a table and started off the night of Patz going away party.

At some point during the night Neil and I decided that we were going to get married and I was going to dump Chad. We spent the remainder of the evening trying to make him jealous.

Peeps
For his farting

Story Time: Ok so when you are with someone that you spend a significant portion of time with you tend to recognize different things about them. The sound of their feet, the smell of their clothes, and yes, the smell of their farts. This became the topic of conversation when we were in the bus because I know when Chad farts. It's like my sixth sense. It's gross but it is true.

Well it just so happened that Chads colon was hating us all that night and caused Chad to fart many MANY times that night. So bad that we actually had to CLEAR the table because it stank. It was the WORST I have ever experienced.


Pat Singing
Eyes
So Yum!

Colin & Neil showed up right after we did. Raul stopped by to say Hello and Marlee ran into some friends from back home who stayed to hang out with us as well. I also spotted Laura from fashion school and Marcus, Matts younger brother. It was a night of familiar faces.

The rest of my pictures are HERE.
PatZ pictures are HERE.
Rauls pictures are HERE.

We left to go catch the bus and Dario and I sang old Italian songs like we usually do. We met some guy at the bus stop who goes around to all the clubs and takes pictures for them. He was really cool and we were acting like ass hats so he was entertained.

When we got on the bus Dario & Chad proceeded to sit next to a tranny. Chads plan was to talk to her but she got off the bus before he had the chance. Instead he entertained everyone at the front of the bus with his wacky toes.

Halfway home the bus stops at a bus stop (shocking I know) and Dario (who was not looking good by this point) gets up and walks off the bus. We all look at each other and Marlee races off to follow him. The bus takes off and Dario doesn't get back on. We are all stunned. WTF. Turned out that Mr. Sumbuca was feeling a little motion sickness from the bus and had to get off. I'm sure looking at the Tranny didn't help either.

Sunday was a lazy day. I vegged on the couch all afternoon and then Chad came over for pizza. I feel fat just thinking about eating all that pizza. Chad watched hockey and I passed out on the couch. Then we watched an already started Jerry Maguire on tv.

I need to do something active tonight to make up for all the crap from the weekend.

You can't say that

Chad on the Couch
Me on the Couch

I'm working on ribbons again but the sun is out and it's so warm and cozy in the office!

Tomorrow is suppose to be super sunny as well and we are spending the day in White Rock visiting with the Parental-In-Laws and getting things for the car. It's going to be such a great day out there I am really looking forward to it! I heart you Right Walk.

I didn't eat a proper lunch and now I am starvin' like marvin.

I'm currently doing some research for our trip to Seattle next weekend. WHO'S EXCITED? I AM! There will be lots of shopping and eating yummy foods and totally acting like girls. And if you are lucky there might me a PJ fight in our bras and panties. Hahah.

I'm also looking up info on our honeymoon to Playa del Carmen. I am totally in vacation mode right now and just want to sit on the beach and not work.

I'm a knob blogger today.

I think I am going to do a few sporadic posts today

"See you around"
"Yea, i hope not sporadically!"

ANYWAYS.

I found out that I get my birthday off at work! This year and every year I work here. Best thing I have ever heard!

SO I am going to take the Friday off, instead of my actual birthday because its on a Wednesday, and Chad and I are going to spend the day at the beach and Grandville Island AND THEN we are going to go to SANDBAR for dinner. My most favorite place to eat that Chad has never been to because he doesn't eat things of the sea. However, he has found a few items on the menu that he wants to try and so we are going! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I AM!

I so can not wait!

Oh and I'm also prob. not going to have a birthday party because I wan't to just do something quiet and small but the least number of people I can invite is like 20 and I can't exclude anyone from that so I figure I wont do anything. Ok maybe we will go to the bar or something but nothing big.

But yes I am dancing in my pants right now about going to Sandbar.

Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives

I'm blogging a lot these days because I've got a lot of time to fill and I might as well entertain you all with long boring stories about what happens to you when you get married.

Shoesees

Spring is pretty damn close to being over and Fall hasn't quite started yet and I am almost done all my clean up and organization projects so I'm trying to stretch those out. Alicia is gone too for 2 weeks. She in our honeymoon spot but at a different hotel. I am very jealous and miss her dearly.

There are 3 samples missing from the warehouse and I will most likely be blamed for it. Booya!

Saturday night was our date night. We went to Vita Bella which is two seconds from my house. It was windy like a mofo and Chad would not stop complaining about how cold it was.

Scruntchy

The wine we had was really good. It was called Church Mouse wine. Apparently it sells out fast. It was damn tasty.

Chad thought he would go out of his comfort zone and ordered a plate of pasta with a demi-glaze sauce. This was out of his comfort zone because he didn't know what a demi-glaze sauce was and it didn't say 'This pasta is covered in ten pounds of meat and tomato sauce' in the description. When his plate came it was covered in meat and sausages and tomato sauce. So much for going out of his comfort zone.

Ce
Our Favorite
Me

I had the veal in a white wine sauce with all these veggies. It was melt in your mouth amazing. And I know someone is going to get mad at me for eating baby cow, but honestly it's just so good I can't help it. I don't eat rabbit or lamb so I figure for saving two cuter animals I should have access to one not as cute animal.

Flawless

When the hostess brought us to our table we took off our coats and sat down. She then looked at us with this weird expressing and say "I've never seen anyone do that". "Do what?" I asked. She said we took our coats off at the exact same time and then we spun them around onto the back of the chair completely synchronized like we had practiced it a million times. WEIRD. We clearly spend too much time together.

After dinner we sat in the car for 15 minutes because baby pants was so cold that he had to blast the heat on until it was the right temperature.

LovesKissesAlways with that face
We desperately need colour.

We were going to go to Silver City Metropolis to watch 21 but the movie didn't start until after 10 so we had time to kill. We figured we'd go back to my house for some scotches with my Uncle and Dad but they weren't there yet so we decided to go to the Coquitlam Silver City so we could see the move at 9:15 instead. That was a smart move.

The movie was good. I didn't understand anything about the math and counting cards but cause I'm not all that smart in that department.

Kate Bosworth was in it. She bugs me for some reason.

The lead guy was hot and Kevin Spacey reminded me of every two-faced teacher I've ever had. Sons of Bitches.

Over all I enjoyed myself. Especially because the opening song was our new favorite MGMT song Time to Pretend. SO GOOD. Chad and I actually got giddy together. Please do me a favore and watch the music video - SO GOOD AS WELL. Especially when he rides the kitty. KITTY! I need to calm down.

Chad walkinMio

I asked Chad to open my bag of Peanut M&Ms cause I knew I would spill them everywhere. So he made this tiny ass hole in the top of the bag and handed it back to me. I attempted to make it bigger so I could actually get one out to eat it and the bag ripped open and a they went flying. He then glared at me for wasting perfectly good Peanut M&Ms but I blame him and his tiny hole for the disaster.

Good News. I didn't get blames on the 3 missing samples!

Crap I can't believe its already 2. I need to start choppin up some ribbons.

Ohh and we got some super cute hats in the warehouse! I've already picked one out for Mexico.

Oh Mexico.

I write a lot. A lot is two words. So said my grade 11 English Teacher

The Look that kills

We went to the gym last night. It felt amazing even though this morning I am exhausted, it makes me want to go back again. I think we are going to go tomorrow night too.

I usually hate going to the gym when it's packed because I always feel so self conscious about the way I am dressed. I know stupidest thing ever. That's the one thing the prevents me from doing what I want to do most of the time - not knowing what to wear.

Chads motivation for going to the gym is to sweat and do cardio. My motivation is to tone and build muscle. I still do some cardio but my body/stomach can get really sensitive sometimes and if I push myself too hard doing cardio I feel really sick and puke. Yes, fun times. Plus I am already a stick so I might as well build some muscles so I'm not a feeb.

Baby Got Back


I sat down on the bike beside this chick dressed in plaid pj bottoms and a gigantic football jersey. She sat on the bike reading Star Magazine and was going so slow/not paying attention to what she was doing that the bike kept beeping "Pause, Pause". It was actually funny to watch because it was the most pathetic "work out" I had ever seen.

After about 40 minutes of that we decided to do some weights. Chad went down to the weight room which was filled with macho men checking themselves out in the mirror and smelling like BO. I stayed upstairs where they had this section with mats and free weighs so I did about a million sit ups (because you get to lay down while doing them) and I lifted some weights.

At about the same time I was doing this, the chick who was on the bike beside me decided to follow suit. It was clear she had no idea what she was doing and really didn't want to be there because she kept staring at herself in the mirror and fixing her hair. Whatever I did she did. It was odd.

CIMG4115


The guy who was using the mat beside me left and this other dude filled in his stop. He looked Latino and was wearing a teal tank top and carrying around a protein shake. He started to lift the weights and then sat down to do sit ups. As he did he turned to me and attempted to chat me up about my work out. I must have been the only chick there who didn't have head phones on and I guess he thought this was his chance to make some conversation. Me being an anti social at the best of times politely replayed and failed to carry on a conversation.

Just as he left Chadwick came up from downstairs to do his set of sit ups so I gave him my mat and proceeded to people watch. The best thing I saw was this chick dressed in head to toe Bebe (which included booty shorts, a tank top she was spilling out of, and little runners that were be jeweled everywhere). She was also sporting a full face of make up including bright pink sparkly eye shadow and a boyfriend who looked like he was straight out of HCwDB.

The gym is always full of such interesting people include some Asian dude on the treadmill in corduroy pants and another guy in wearing cargo pants and work boots while lifting weights. I also always get amused by the chicks who dress to the nines just to go to the gym. Srsly, who are you trying to impress?

Dirty Mirror Full Body


When we got home we attempted to figure out the whole bedding situation again. I started to panic because the furniture we were going to order from Costco wouldn't show up on their website and I couldn't figure out why so I thought they might have sold out of it and I was going to loose my mind because I over react a lot.

Anyways, Chad worked his magic and somehow it showed up on the website this morning. So we purchased it. SCARY! This is what it looks like. We are getting the 6 piece set and it's oh so pretty. The only thing we are unsure of is the colour and how similar it will be to the floors and if it's all going to be a crazy load of brown in the bedroom considering our bedding looks like this. The bonus to Costco is that the shipping is FREE and you can return it no problem. I mean it would be a pain to physically have to return it but at least we have that option.

Now I get to rest easy until it all arrives and I realize I have to return it all back. Hahaha. Lets hope that does not happen. 4 weeks and its here!

Life is starting to come together.
