I'm a little peeved that my new show 3lbs was canceled =( It seemed pretty promising. There's nothing good on TV anymore, ANTM sucks this season, the three models that remain look 40 years old +. I wish for Big Brother to make a come back .... SOON. I miss Janelle. Eh, at least the last 8 episodes of The Sopranos are coming soon.

So today is my second day pill free. I don't feel different at all. it feels extremely weird not taking a pill at 11PM every night though.

I suddenly have an interest in having a website again. Well ... maybe not a website, but more like ... a place to store pictures and MAYBE have a blog / cam set up if i feel like it. Maybe I'll surf around and see if i can't find a super cheap hosting company, let me know if you knw of one. I hate paying for hosting ... considering it used to be given to me for freeeee. I love free. It's the dutch in me. I really want chicgeek.org back. hmph.

It snowed like mad last night, almost a foot! It's gooooorgeous.

Off topic, I want to work in a big zoo. I think i'd be the best zoo keeper in the world. If i made a to do life list i think #1 would be to hug a koala bear, and i'm sure all of the rest would involve animals of some kind.

B is currently getting me Sims 2 + all expansions. I've never played or had an interest in playing, but i figure ... whynot. I need SOMETHING to do now that TV sucks so horribly.

Tonight, for dinner .. I'm making sweet and sour meatballs from scratch, broccoli and mashed 'tatoes. YUM.

What's the worst pickup line you've ever heard?

I think they're all extremely corny. Thankfully I've never been a victim. Although, there have been some pretty lame pick up attempts towards me. Here's one that stands out ...

I was at work and I spotted this random guy staring me up. All of the sudden he came up to me and started blabbing on about this business he ran and how much he thought I should work for him, etc. He didn't let me get in a word the whole time and finally finished with "So, If you'd just give me your number I'd love to set up an interview!"  Uhhmm, no thanks buddy. CYA!

I hate when guys hit on me, moreso when I'm working. It's so awkward ... just let me do my job!

Tell us a little something about your first car.  Do you have any photos you can share?

Awe. Reminiscing about my first ever (and only) car makes me kind of emotional. It's sort of like ... the mascot of the best years of my life. A baby blue hunk of junk. 1980-something cavalier. Ugly as hell, but it took my best girl friends and I to many places, parties, concerts. It got us everywhere we needed to go. We had so many good times in that car. When field parties took place, we'd drive it right into the middle of the party, and my CAR would become the party. The VIP room if you will. Had one or two nights of restless sleep in it, ate lots of drunken McDonalds in it, had deep heart to hearts in it.

And then one day ... It just broke down, and the repairs were beyond what I could afford at that time. So I gave it to my best friend and she fixed it up and put it back on the road.

A few days after she had it on the road, I called her up from a party. Everyone was on ecstasy but me (go figure) and I was having the worst time ever. I was in the middle of nowhere, and everybody was rolling and talking my ear off and I just wanted to go home and go to bed. I called Danielle to come and pick me up, gave her the directions, and she was on her way in no time. (What a great friend <3). To make a long story short, she ended up totaling the car by driving it into a lake on her way to get me. (DON'T ASK!!!). =(

R.I.P. BFFL CAR.

Breakfast

What do you usually do on Sunday?

If I'm working, I usually take an extra half hour getting out of bed because I dread it about 70% more than any other day. If I'm NOT working ... then the whole day is dedicated to a wholesome breakfast, a whole lotta laundry, cleaning of the apartment, and at least one or two naps. Sundays just aren't the same when you can't fit in a nap. Followed by my Sunday night Television. Big Brother, Family Guy, and Intervention.

Yay for lazy Sundays.

My stomach just couldn't be satisfied today. I could have eaten an entire cow, and right afterward I probably would have gone to the kitchen, opened all of the cupboards (and the fridge) looking for something else. I must have done that about 10 times today. You know, when you're starving, but you're in dire need of groceries, and every half an hour or so when your stomach grumbles - you get up to see if anything has magically decided to make an appearance in your fridge or in your snack cupboard? UGH. Friday is pay day, and no matter how tight of a budget we are on ... I am buying some damn groceries. No more eating nonsense fattening crap because it's all we have left over or because it's cheap. I'm stocking up on fruits and veggies.

I cannot wait until B finishes his trade classes (sometime next month). I will be so thrilled when he can get into a union. We need benefits more than anything. We both haven't been to a dentist in over 4 years. And then when we start having a pretty good combined cash flow, it'll be nice to finally start looking for a new apartment (hopefully in the Toronto area). A pregnancy will have to come into the picture within the next 2 years, I hope. We hope. Looking to the future makes me feel good. It helps me realize that we won't always be stuck in such a horrible rut.

I have tomorrow off and I'm definitely sleeping in. And then ... laundry & cleaning. I think I might also attempt to make something different for dinner. I have 2 pounds of ground beef in the freezer that needs to be used, so we'll see what I can come up with. Should be interesting.

I'm a little torn on where to blog when I'm in the mood. Here, or LJ? I don't know. VOX wins tonight, because it seems like there have been WAY more updates on vox in the past 24 hours then my livejournal friends page has had in the past week. Doh.

I'm bored. Super bored. It's Monday, but it's like MY Friday because I have the next two days off. And of course, no one is ever up for chilling on my "weekends" because ... well, they're not really weekends and everybody works throughout the week. I NEVER get weekends off. It's depressing. I feel like I miss out on everything fun because I have to go home early for bed.

The net is boring tonight. I'm going to go look at furniture websites ... because I'm getting old and I have no life. Is it sad that I got excited today when I found out it only costs $27 to rent a carpet shampooer for 2 days?? I need to be saved.

If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you pick and why?

BIG BROTHER! For sure. I'm a reality TV addict. Ever since Survivor first came out. Was it Survivor first or Big Brother? Either way, I was hooked from the start. I think I'd do really well in the BB household. I know, it probably looks much easier than it really is. But I have some secret strategies that I won't list here because if I ever get invited to be in BB someone might take them out from under me. *points fingers* Haha, jk. =P Or AM I!?

Ok ... I'm off to the dreaded physical. UGH. Someone kidnap me.

If you could open any sort of restaurant, what would it be like?

Okay, obviously I would open up a restaurant of my Mom's cooking. I've said it before and I'll say it again, she's a genius in the kitchen. Me? I couldn't even cook a meal like she does if my life depended on it. I try, and I pretend that I'm good. But the fact is .. I'M NOT. The only thing I'm good at making would have to be ... salad. And that barely counts because no cooking is involved there. I suck.

My computer is running much more smoothly now that I've deleted all the spyware crap off of it. Give it a solid 48 hours and it'll be back to it's shitty old self. Sigh.

My arm pits hurt. Stupid stand up tanning.

Okay, not that I need one of these new blog thingy's at ALL, considering I have my own domain, myspace, and a livejournal. But hey, I have a feeling that this is going to be the new LJ, which is great for me because I don't really like LJ's vibe anymore. Nobody really posts there anymore either. So, here it is. Thanks to Susy! I like it here, it's cute and cosy!

I just drank 3 glasses of chocolate milk, TUMMY ACHE!

Okay, I'm gonna go and check out all of these options.
