First off, thanks to Jim, who emailed me about my last post. I'm ok, I was just venting and ranting at the same time, which can get rather violent. :)
So, tonight I attended Gayle's Fantasia Party, which wound up being a party of two... I was the only one who showed. It was still fun, though! I bought "Tickle Her(tm) Pink!" and "Tickle Her(tm) Nipple!", as well as a very hot light blue... langer-eh. Yeah, I can't spell, but y'all know what it is. There's a top piece made of lace with little bows at the bottom and lace thong panties. It makes me feel like a fairy queen! lol!
After some chit-chat and cheesecake, Gayle also loaned me some shoes she bought in Italy. I'm in Love. See that? CAPITOL L-LOVE!! These things are beautiful! black pattent lether, a mesh cover, open toe, 6" heel and 2"sole on the toe... *drools* And I can walk in them, too! I'm working on dancing, but I'm still a bit wobbly. I have a week to learn to move in them before I move back up north and start saving for my own pair. It's hard work, though. My calfs and thighs were aching after a bit of strutting around.
Today was VERY productive for me, though. I cleaned like a mad-woman, vacuumed, did laundry, packed up some books and things...Of course, my bed is covered in misplaced objects, and my sheets are still on the line (I'll get them in the morning), so I'll be camping out on the floor tonight, but hey, small price to pay for a clean room.
I started a Wish List at Chapters.Indigo.ca, but because my internet is so slow, I'm going to resist adding to it until I get up there... I have a load of books that I'd like to have, including Grimm's Grimmest, which I've wanted for years.
I should probably head for bed though. I start on my last full week of days next week, and I want to try and get up early tomorrow so Monday isn't hell. At least tomorrow, if I get up at 7am, and stay up until at least 6pm, I know I'll sleep Sunday night. I hope...
I'm sure I'll get chance to update tomorrow. I have some more laundry to get done, and some more cleaning to do, obviously, plus I need to water my herbs, as they're all dying of dehydration, but I want to get onto the Fredericks of Hollywood website and start having catelogues delivered to Mike's. Before I get up there. Just so he knows what he's in for.
:)
If you're going to screw it up, do it BIG... people will think you're doing it on Purpose.

Summer in your Step
So, it's Sparky-a-go-go! I think maybe people are right about theis whole exercise deal... I do have more energy now than I usually do.
Today, Renèe and Lindsay and I went to Curves. I think Renèe really liked it, so we're going to keep going, trying to make it 3x per week for the rest of the Summer. After the circut, we walked across town to Tim Hortons for an Ice Cap. It was actually really nice out. It's good to have a girl gang here. On Saturday night, we're going to a BX93 (a country music radio station) Dance, because Josh (Renèe's boyfriend's brother) is going to pop the question to his girlfriend! Very exciting. I'm actually going to drink a bit too, I think. Just for fun.
So, it's finally gotten pretty nice out. Warm, sunny... I got out in the garden a bit today, which was great. Teddy enjoyed it, I think. She just gets a little over-warm. I want to try and slim her down a bit before I go back up North. She's a Jack Russle (spayed), and she weighs 30lbs!! she's only supposed to weigh 17! poor thing's headed for a heart attack. So, I'm trying to take her for more walks outside, get her playing more. She swims every weekend when we're at the cottage, and since she's going for the week with my parents, she might be able to go every day, which will help. She'll never be an average-jack size, but she needs to lose some of the pudge. And I'm hoping that, now that I've started loosing weight again, we can do it together.
Well, I must go and get ready for another night swimming in condoments.
Syrups! Yum.

Old News: Cookies and Creams...
Created on: 4/27/2005, 11:41 AM
I'm currently making cookies. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip with Coconut. I'm doing it for 2 reasons: one, because I have an insane amount of cooking supplies that I brought home from North Bay that I need to make use of, and two, because it keeps my hands busy.
I went to the doctor's yesterday to get my Effexor refilled, and finally managed to gather the courage to talk to her about the…spots on my chest. Most of you know about them. It's a skin condition, or so I say. Really, it's only minor (very minor) acne. But it's what I do to it that makes it look like it does now. I can't stop picking at them. I know, it's gross, but I can't help it. I know I'm causing a lot of damage (most of them are infected), but I just can't stop myself. I'll spend hours squeezing and pulling off scabs so they can't heal. Now, they're all red and painful. It's a psychological condition known as Dermatillomania. It's in the same family as trichotillomania, the condition where a person can't stop pulling out their hair, even when they develop bald patches. We (myself and the doc) aren't quite sure yet how to treat it, but the Effexor should help for now. Plus I'm on antibiotics for the infection, hoping that once the existing spots heal, the urge to pick will lessen. Right now, I'm just trying to keep busy so I'm not tempted to sit down and make things worse. Hence, cookies, and cleaning, and unpacking.
It's kinda nice to be home. I get the house to myself most of the day, so I can sleep in, and I can do laundry for mom… We're working on my neatness habits (it's like finishing school all over again!) so I don't make Mike crazy next year. The laundry thing I've gotten the hang of, especially since I don't have to carry the stuff up and down stairs, or pay $1.50 per load… And I'm getting better at the dishes thing… my room's still a stumbling block, mostly because I'm sorting through 3 years worth of old papers right now, then unpacking clothes. But I'll get through it. It'll just take time.
I start work next week. Afternoons, 3-11pm. It shouldn't be too bad, actually. I like Afternoon, because that's the block of time I'm most awake in. I'm on the shift that I like too, which is nice.
It's raining here today. And it's kinda cold. And grey. Pretty dismal, actually. I'm looking forward to the nicer weather coming back. I have an herb garden out back which needs tending. A note to all you gardeners out there: Don't ever plant Mint near anything. Ever. It takes over whatever you plant it in, and chokes everything else out. I have a beautiful oregano bush, and some lovely lavender, but the mint totally overtakes it if you leave it more than a week without a trim. I think that when I move into Mikes, I'm going to have little pots of herbs in my room, a little sprig of oregano, basil and maybe some lavender… just to smell nice. I'll have room for it too. And I think the dog's a bit depressed. She likes it that I'm home, but usually we go for walks around the yard when we go to get the mail, and it's been too cold and wet the last few days to do that. Poor thing.
Rain, Rain, go away.
