Cosmos anyone?...

...so tonight is the night...the night the most highly anticipated girly movie comes out and I'm super duper pumped about the whole thing! Last night I went to Nursemaids house and drank some Cosmos while watching the last season of the show. We needed a refresher so we ate junk food and drank...makes for an excellent night....well really all we wanted was a reason to get together...so this seemed like a good reason.

It seems like all women like this show and can relate to the characters. Is it that we're all vixens and want to live vicariously through a fictional fantasy character or is it that we know someone who actually lives that way? I can think of a few people that I know that are just like Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte and Carrie...I think I'm a mix of all the them. I talk like Samantha, act like Charlotte, live like Miranda and turn into Carrie after a few drinks. Wouldn't you say that's about right? The only thing about Carrie that I'm not like is a trend setter. In watching the last season, man I realized how not cool my wardrobe is...well that is if you consider hers cool. She was big into wool stuff, poofy dresses and had a thing for gloves. I'm not a fan of gloves...they look real weird on a woman...in my opinion anyways. It either makes you look like you're real old or dressed up for Halloween. As for the poofy dresses...well I have large hips so adding material to accent that part of my body is just a fashion faux pas. I think she'd agree. Apparently in the movie Carrie has 81 costume changes...should be interesting.

Should be a good night so I'll fill you in next week. I'll be away for work on Monday so I may not be able to write...but I'll be back Tuesday. I'm going to Hdot so I'm sure I'll have plenty to say...watch out drivers...now that it's nice out I can open my window and yell at you for cutting me off as opposed to tooting.

Skirt?...

...so I went to town with my Chatty Friend last night. We went Used Clothing Shopping and we're speed shoppers. She shops like me...dig a little in the bins and move on. I'm not one of those that starts at one end and goes through the whole bin...no way...that takes way too long and I lose patience. We were in there 15 minutes max and I found shorts for my hubby! He needs shorts to go golfing so instead of spending $40 for a pair I go there and pay $3.50 for a good pair....that's the Financial Planner- cheapy in me coming out!

Anyways, after that we went grocery shopping. My Chatty Friend is nuts when it comes to sales. Oh the baggies were on sale for 50 cents off so she had to buy some. Why? Why would you spend money on something that you don't even know if you need it? But not her...nope, it's a deal therefore a necessity. I clearly didn't buy any cause I thought I had baggies and the thought of wasting $2.49 to get the sale ones just made me sick. HAHAHA we giggled about her shopping skills a lot during this trip as well as my cheapness. Let's face it, we're both weirdos.

Now let's talk about the people in the store. I like to people watch sometimes so it didn't take long for me to spot this girl walking in front of us. She was back to and when I saw her I thought to myself "gee those are real flashy shorts" then to my surprise they went from short to skirt! She apparently had the wrong undies on and the skirt tucked up in all the nooks and crannies and after a few steps and wiggles it untucked back to skirt form. Wow, that was a statement...and my Chatty Friend noticed too so we did the whole glance at each other, make a confused smooshed face look and then giggled. I felt bad for the girl, but my goodness, that must have been majorly uncomfortable.

This brings me to this morning at Timmies. Man, those people at Timmies are just something else. So I order and drive up to the window. This new guy leans over to get my money and groans. He groaned like he was a lion and I was his prey. This was very odd behavior for a Timmies worker cause normally they just sigh in the annoyed voice...not this guy...he groaned. I thought that maybe something poked him while he was leaning over so I figured I'd forget about it...UNTIL....he leaned over to give me back me 46 cents and out came the groan again. This time I made that smooshy confused face and backed away while I got my change. I didn't know if he just got out of the animal hospital or if that something was poking him again causing him pain or maybe I looked like breakfast to him...either way it was quite an odd experience. I took my change and drove away with a puzzled look. Hopefully he works out his issues tonight cause tomorrow I won't be in the mood for animal sounds. Maybe it's a game...maybe I should have shouted out LION? and then I could have won a timbit....darn did I miss my chance at free food? Now I'm gonna have to go back there at lunchtime to see what happens!

the little ones...

...so this guy from Wdot got caught with over 5000 lbs of illegal lobsters. I'm glad he got caught because that's a little extreme. I think the lobsters are at about $5/lbs so that makes him about $25,000....just craziness! Stop being so greedy! I know you can't help but have a few lobsters that are undersized as sometimes you measure incorrectly, but 5000 lbs is a bit much. I'm all for making money...trust me...I love money...money money money...but I don't want to do it the illegal way. He got caught at the wharf at 11 pm with a rented cube van waiting there for him...hello obvious! Who rents a cube van? Who fishes at 11 pm? I hope he realizes that he'd been better off just fishing the right lobsters and going home after supper. GOnna be an expensive trip.

I brought my little one to get his 18 mth needles yesterday and he ended up having a reaction. He had them done right after lunch and by suppertime he was barely capable of walking. His thigh was majorly swollen and he was crying in pain. As a mom you automatically go in panic mode and cry with your child and I just held him to try to make it all better. I was very concerned and call the doc...apparently this happens and you just give them baby Advil for the pain and inflammation. My little one is a trooper so once I put him to bed he slept all night...he made a couple noises through the night - likely from rolling over on it - but he stayed in bed. This morning he was limping, but was happy so that was a good sign.

When I went to get the Advil last night I had some lady cut me off and that really ticked me off. She cut out of the Used Clothing Store parking lot across from the Yarmouth International Airport...aka the open field with a few runways that no one uses...and when she cut out she then proceeded to drive 24 kms/hr. Is there any need? If you were too scared to drive then why did you risk your life to get on the road? Wasn't that a hazard enough? I never understood that....cut out and almost crash and then drive super slow in order not to crash....what's up with that mentality? They cut out fast enough why not use the same amount of pressure on the pedal to drive down the road? Slow and Steady doesn't always win the race....just ticks off everyone around you and wears out my horn!

Weekend....

...so we had a great weekend of nice and sunny weather. I didn't do very much as I'm still not 100%...still stuffed up. Saturday Night my hubby wanted to watch the hockey game and play some stupid game on the computer. Well, I surely didn't want to sit and watch TV alone so I went over to my Chatty Friend's house to visit. My Farty Cousin was there already and so was Miss Stylish. They are all slightly obsessed with taking pictures and apparently had planned on doing a photo shoot before I even got there. Well no one gave me the memo so here they were dressed to kill with these little sweaters with complimenting tank tops and I was in my new Frenchy's sweater...very warm and totally motherly. Luckily I had good pants on so I was semi dressed for the occassion. Well I say they were good pants, but I did have some lovely snot tracks from my son's runny nose here and there on my thighs so they promised to take from the waist up. They touched up their make up...I checked adjust my Frenchy's Sweater...and we went outside.

We posed a bunch and I must admit that I had fun. I did make fun of them a alot because I'm not a huge picture taker. It's not that I mind having my picture taken...just I never think to bring my camera anywheres. Well these ladies are right the opposite...not only do they bring their camera...my Farty Cousin brings her Tri-pod! Who the hell even has a Tri-pod??!! I can just picture the conversation her and her boyfriend have before leaving the house on Saturday Night..."hang on one sec boyfriend, I gotta go back in the house...I forgot my Tri-pod"....I mean I can understand bringing lipstick, deodorant, ID, mini pad to go visiting....but Tri-pod...HAHAHAHAHAH...I just find that totally hilarious! I guess they know I find this odd as I made fun of them all night...

Love ya ladies :)

Sorry...

...so I've been sick these last few days. My little one started with it on Tuesday night and then I got it after that. I'm still real stuffy, but feel much better today. I've been out on appointments today so haven't had a chance to write much. My nose has that crusty look and my son's nose is a steady stream...we're a good pair. The Sitter told me he was sooky all day...takes after his mommy. I'm a sook when I'm sick....I'll admit it...yeah I like hubby to feel bad for me...a back rub would be nice even though it's not sore...just makes me feel better and remember, a happy wife makes a happy home - or so I like to remind him! I guess my 1 and a half year old son is on to me....I bet that's why hubby isn't real sympathetic.

I'll be back next week...I promise!

Long weekend...

...so we just enjoyed another long and rainy weekend. I usually try to make the most out of life so I didn't let the crappy weather ruin my plans.

Friday night Master T came over to fix up my toes. Again, I'm not into the whole sheshe-poopoo thing, but I thought a pedicure would be nice in case the sun decided to come out over the weekend. The Sitter stopped in for a visit and so did my good old pal "Lifetime Student"! I hadn't seen him in months as he was away for school for like the millionth year. Gotta love Lifetime Student...he makes me laugh so I'm glad he's back in this province for the next few years....should make for some interesting stories for my blog this summer...stay tuned.

I went tanning the other night. I haven't done that in many years. I don't know what's wrong with me...pedicures, hot high heels and now tanning. Anyways, I look like a Q-tip...whiter than white. I've had many people ask if I'm sick cause I have no color so maybe it's time to get a tan. I don't have time like I used to in the good ol' high school days to go lay out so I'll have to settle for the light bulb tanned look. The problem is that if you're not a size 0-5, it's hard to get tanned in all the areas. Because my backside is a little on the curvy side, it keeps my back propped up so when I lay down I look like a seesaw...touching on both ends with a bubble in the middle. This means I don't get a light bulb tan under the "bubble" and just above the "bubble". Many regulars don't tan right under their arms cause they have they're arms right beside them...I don't have that luxury as mine drape off the sides of the tanning bed - darn hips! Who needs a tan on their hands anyways (well that's what I keep telling myself) , but I also don't tan on my biceps (or where it's supposed to be). Where are you supposed to put the lovely lady lumps?...that's what I want to know! Flopping to the side is the most natural so I have to settle on a good cleavage tan and white-spotted biceps. Oh and lets not forget that "bubble"! There's a lot of white area there so since it's plastered all over the bed it gets a real good tan...just incase I wear my thong bikini...as if.

OHHHH.....the work us women go through to look good...I just hope that the Calico Cat look is in this summer...

The Affair...

...so last night I went for a drive with my Chatty Friend and Master T. As we were driving around we were reminiscing about our teenage years and laughing lots. My Chatty Friend brought up the times I caught her straying from her boyfriends on different occasions. We giggled over that and then I said "Gee I was even there when Fertile Myrtle kissed your boyfriend (at the time)" My Chatty Friend turned around and with a shocked looked said "WHAT?!" BAHAHAHAAHAHAH I then wouldn't tell her what had happened cause apparently she didn't know that happened. Finally I spilled the beans and told her of the time she had left my hubby's party early and left her boyfriend there to catch his ride home. My hubby and I came around the corner and saw her boyfriend and Fertile Myrtle kissing in front of the garage doors! Fertile Myrtle had called me the next day and swore me to secrecy....and apparently I did! My Chatty Friend was laughing hysterically as she never knew that had happened. Her and her boyfriend split up not that long after that and he did eventually date Fertile Myrtle, but the kiss was never ever brought up. It's been about 12 years since that day and I kept it hush hush all these years....SEE PEOPLE...I can keep a secret!!



Not to toot my own horn......well ok.....TOOT TOOT!!
