YAY!! It's winter!

I'm not really that thrilled. Cold days, shovelling sidewalks, cleaning snow off the car and best yet, icy roads. Why don't people just slow down and pay attention. I know that sometimes that isn't always true with accidents, but mostly it is the case. I was driving home Saturday night on the freeway and people were passing me like I was sitting still. No good. They should have an idiot flag on their vehicle that says "I want to get killed!"

I seen the movie "Marie Antoinette" today. I should have waited until it came on video. Good thing we had a coupon or I would been upset with the wasted money....lol...it wasn't that bad. Kirsten Dunst was amazing portraying the Queen. It was a bit long for me though, that is why I should have waited for video. I lose focus when movies are long. I am kinda like a 2 year old with my attention span. This is why I watch soaps instead of movies.

I have the interiew tomorrow for the make up store. I am so very excited. I am pretty confident that I will get the job. I can make people look like a clown.

Saturday, bf and I went to the mall. Just to look around and people watch. I decided to introduce him to my cousin. She works at a jewellery store. Big mistake.

She took us over to the rings. Yeah the "E" word rings. I was so freaked out. She shows us this solitaire that was $23,000. OMG! In her defense, she really was just showing what this guy was coming back to get for his girlfriend and she was going to be getting the commission. Except, she continued to show us others. I tried my hardest not to be excited with the bling. I didn't want to come across like I'm into expensive things or high maintenance because I'm not....LMAO!

I thought this lil diddy was awesome........

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself. A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears. A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book. A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean. A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call. A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems. A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it. A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you.

It's almost Friday!!!

Today I got a call. My most favorite make up store has called me for an interview. I am so excited! I could actually get to show off my talent to the world...hahaha. Well the city that I live in anyway. Not to toot my own horn but I am good at make up application and I love to make people pretty. I was gifted with this talent and I am excited to share it. I mean this is even if I get the job. (I'm pretty certain I will...hehe)

More exciting news. My favorite band of all time is coming to town. Only four days after Dierks Bentley, The Tragically Hip will be in my city. I am eager to see them perform once again. This will be the sixth time I see them in concert. Every time I go I am always thrilled with the performance. Gord Downie is crazy fun performer. He is amazing to watch with his immense energy. 2007 is starting to look like a good year so far.

Halloween is coming soon and I wanted to dress up as something fun. Again another year passes and I don't have a costume. So I resort to pajamas and pig tails to dress like a little girl. Maybe next year I can be creative. A few years back I had an awesome costume. I was Pippi Longstocking and my date was Jimi Hendrix. We were hot!! Mostly me though, Jimi is an ex. Ex's aren't hot.

So why on earth was online shopping created?? It is EVIL!! Pure evil. It makes so easy to buy unnecessary things. I, myself doesn't but unnecessary things. Everything I buy is something I need. It's true, really. Atleast I have myself convinced,right?

The sex toy party was a new adventrue. A mid 40s lady telling us about lotions, lingerie and toys. You can actually get a tongue. Oddest thing I ever seen. Weirdest part was that one of the guests was 20. I hope to goodness I wasn't like that when I was 20. Irritating and giggly...ugh!! I guess I'm getting old. But remember I love JT so that keeps me young.

So I can drop the "potential" on PBF. He's officially by BF. Lucky me! I met somebody nice, cute and not a LOSER. Why is it that when you start dating someone your friends are questioning the wedding date? Are they seeing something that I'm not? I mean it may be a possibilty but I'd like to get to know him first. Crazy girls! Maybe this means my online shopping could be lessened so I can get spoiled. A girl can dream right?

This candle is for Shalebug. I never really got to know the little guy. I did get to meet him a few times. I have in the last year started to get to know his mom. She is a beautiful person inside and out with a big heart. I admire her immensely and glad she has come into my life.

My thoughts are with you and your family today. Love you guys!!

********************************************

Yay, it's the weekend! Started today for me as I work Saturdays. *bleh*

The dinner last night went well. Why wouldn't it? I'm a great cook. Stayed up way too late and was a zombie at work today but that's ok. I don't need to be that focused.

Tonight I get to experience something new. I'm heading out to the hometown for a sex toy party. Never been to one before, but I hear they are fun. Probably the one and only time you could be so open with a stranger present. All girls so we'll be all giggly and dirty. I mean let's face it, us girls are as dirty if not dirtier than guys can be...lol.

My hair by the way looks fab! I'm pretty impressed with myself. I did get compliments. I got funny looks when people would ask "Why didn't you put in more black?" Another talent added to the list.

Not much else exciting. I got to go get ready for my adventure in the home town.

So today was looong! Once in a while this happens. Why? I'd love to know. It makes me CARazy!! What usually takes 20 minutes to get home from work took 40 minutes today. There was an accident. I hope everyone is ok.

When I got home I decided to color my own hair. Normally this would be ok if I was using one color. I am using two. Rich mahagony and black. I have never attempted to so this by myself. I have put black chunks on each side of my head and colored underneath in the back black. So far so good but my hair is still wet. Tomorrow will tell. I'll either get funny looks or compliments.

Now I got to do my nails. There goes another hour and a half. Atleast I can be somewhat entertained by the TV. I tape "General Hospital" everyday and watch it a bed time. It's my winde down for the day. If I don't watch it, I feel like my day is not complete. Can't forget "My Name is Earl". That show is friggin hilarious!! I love Joy. She's a woman that's set in her ways and don't take no shit. Loves it!!

Tomorrow I am making dinner for PBF. I am a little bit nervous. I haven't ever really cooked for anyone else other than family. They have to like it or they won't get to eat...lol. I chose something easy. Stirfry. Can we make it any easier? I suppose I could do beans with KD. Then I could do it all in the microwave. Sweet! OK, that's gross! It might make him think twice about hanging out with me.

I am now off to continue in the "making me beautiful" process. Wait! I am beautiful. I am just touching things up!

Yikes!! I almost forgot that I had a blog! My lovely sister T reminded me. I haven't been coming to the blogger at all for the past few days. I guess cause I live this fascinating and busy life. Yeah right, it's pretty low key. Almost boring.

I have done a lot of shopping over the past few days. One online order from Sephora included. I have this addiction. Some (only BFF) think it's normal but most think I'm a spaz for it. I am addicted to lip gloss. Can't get enough of the stuff. So in that online order was 4 lip glosses. What makes them so special is that they are lip plumpers. They make your lips tingle!

I also have been busy getting to know someone. I'll call him potential BF. We have been spending a fair bit of time together. Not a lot because I don't think either of us are in a big hurry to be in a relationship. Maybe it's just me and he's wondering WTF! My last boyfriend was a complete head case and I think I'm a lil bit traumatized from it. I am moving on though, just slowly.

He makes me laugh. When I say laugh, I don't mean giggle or chuckle. I mean out right, from the belly, make me teary and almost pee my pants laugh. I am a giggly person for the most part. He makes me bust out all the time. It's a nice change. Some dudes are all "ME ME ME ME and then ME ME ME and then ME ME ME". There are some classic guy traits within him but I think those can never be avoided. The not paying attention, not listening and zoning out are traits that no man can escape.

A few of my friends have met him and they think he's a keeper. I am starting to think they are right. I guess we'll have to see.

UGH!! I have realized today that Christmas is only 2 months away. I am not a big fan of the holiday. I am a bit of a grinch. I suppose that means that I get to do more shopping though. Fun times!

YAY! So we got tickets to the Dierks Bentley concert. I am so very excited!! I don't even know how much they cost but it doesn't matter. It will be a good time. I have decided not to go to Guns N Roses. Axl just ain't that great anymore. What's the sense without Slash?

I had a pretty uneventful weekend. Dinner with the fam on Monday for Thanksgiving. It was good. I did half of the cooking so ofcourse it was good. I leave the turkey and stuffing for my mom. I do the rest. I prefer cooking to clean up. I got to see my nieces that I only see a couple times a year. They are gorgeous petite girls. They had to grow up fast because their Mom passed away in 1993. The youngest of them turned 21 yesterday, which made me feel really old. I remember when my sister was pregnant with her. Time flys!


While spending time at my parents I got to cuddle with my puppy. I can't have him at my place so I have to visit him when I can. He is so very cute. His name is Bandit but I call him "Bebe". He is spoiled rotten and the biggest suck ever! That's why I love him. He is always excited to see me. One time shortly after I left my parents place he got mad and peed on my mom's bed. Bad puppy! My mom was not so impressed with him or me. She told me I had to quit spoiling him. How can I not spoil him? He's adorable.

Remembering the DB concert yesterday made miss Vegas. I miss everything about it. The bright lights, the action, the shopping, the people (and people watching), the bums sleeping on the bench, the water show at the bellagio, the mini effiel tower, the guys on the corner offering a ticket into a bar, the cabs, the billboard trucks with the escort service, the texan I kissed, our room at the Monte Carlo, the M&M store, the deuce, the escorts cards on the ground, the 2.5 mile walk to the outlet mall, the rollar coaster at New York New York and being able to smoke or drink anywhere. I especially miss Sephora, the Mandalay Bay, the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio because those things made BFF and I fall in love with Vegas.

Sephora...what a wonderful store!!! We don't have any here in Western Canada, which is probably good for my bank account. The first time I walked in my mouth dropped. It's 3 times the size of my place and its all make up! One wall was covered with make up brushes. The art I could create with these brushes. I was like a 5 year old in a candy store. I didn't know where to begin. I knew I needed a lip plumper but I didn't where to look. I managed to find everything I needed with the help of the girls there. I managed to contain myself at $160. I did well, I could have maxed out my credit card.

Mandalay Bay, we love it because...

It's beautiful. That's where we seen DB & CCR concert at the House of Blues. It has a nice atmosphere and has boobs on the wall...lol!

The Voodoo Lounge at the Rio somehow became our choice place to party in sin city. The bartenders were awesome with Tom Cruise tricks like the movie "Cocktail". When we went back in May and the bartender remembered my BFF from our first visit in December. I kissed a balding fat man from Texas at the Voodoo lounge. That's what BFF says, I didn't think he was that bad. Maybe it's her memory that is skewed.

Enough about Vegas or I may cry. I will go again someday......

Been a few days since I have written anything. Just didn't feel like it. Not too much exciting has been going on in my life.

I have learned a couple of exciting things. One, Guns n Roses are coming to town. Two, Dierks Bentley is coming to town. No ifs, ands or buts I'll be going to Dierks Bentley. He is my secret boyfriend, so I have too. Why is it a secret? My BFF loves him!! Loves him more than anything and I don't want her to know that I love him too...lol

Last time I seen Dierks Bentley was December in Vegas. It was "hands down" the best concert I have ever been too. The opening band was Cross Canadian Ragweed. First time I had ever heard them but quickly fell in love with Cody Canada's voice. If you have not listened to CCR, I highly recommend it. They are awesome!! After the show we (my BFF and I) had the chance to meet the band as well as Dierks' sister Marty. It was a very memorable day, and I would love to relive it.

I'm indecisive about whether or not to check out Axl. Will he still be sexy? Will he still have an amazing voice? Can the new guys live up to Slash, Izzy and Duff? Is it worth the $75. Tough choice. GNR is one of my most favorite bands. I guess I will have to weigh the pros and cons. GNR Concert or LV hand bag. I know for some girls that's a given. For me it's a tough choice. May seem crazy, but that's me Crazy D!
