The past weekend SpitFire and I spent time with our friends and their 3 kids. We went down to for a hair competition styling, and were stormed stayed for 2 nights. Here's a few snapshots of what fun we had and the things we learned:

I spent a bit too much time with a 12yr old girl and fine tuned the art of the joke "That's what she said". I had forgotten how hilarious this punch-line was.

My Hair went from all Black long curls to Black with Purple Dark and Light shaded highlights and spirals.

When you live in a small place, the news can be so hilarious. We had an adult game of "Things" in which every answer included either Farts or the latest News headline involving a man found masturbating while fondling a dog ... He was charged with "interfering with the lawful enjoyment of a property"...

and... This is what happens when a 6yr old gets a hold of your favorite RIMMEL London Pink Blush Lipstick... smudged and smashed...

 

 

 



Time to get back to work... 'Thats what she said'.

Busy Time - tired mind.

Today, I'm not doing so well...
I feel like I cant go on.
Mentally and Emotionally exhausted.
My body feels heavy. (-definitly skipping the gym today.)

I have no energy to deal with the people who need or want help/favors/aswers.
I dont want to plan anymore. I dont care what other people think.
I just want to curl up into a ball and sleep forever.

I deperately need a break from life right now...

Combating these whoas with a hair appointment with one of my most funny lady friends tonight.
I'll sit. She'll do my hair. and we'll talk about nothing but nonsense and rediculousness. A semi-escape from my long endless lists of to-do's before the I-do's.

Free Pass - Harvest Jazz 2012

Remember that time I had free Ultimate Hardcore Passes to Harvest Jazz Fest in Fredericton NB 2012!?

Yes, that was Last weekend!

My Date for the Night: My Love, SpitFire on Friday night, and My good Friend Hil on Saturday.

Who We saw:
Tedeschi Jazz Band Friday Night
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Some other crazy cool Jazz funk guy, and a surprise show with Wintersleep, Saturday night.

What we drank:
Friday - Vodka and diet cokes - the Spit Fire special.
Saturday Night - They were out of white wine at the jazz tent so we had red wine there; and they were our of red wine at the Barracks tent, so we had white wine there.

Favorite Moments:
Friday night date night with my hubby to be all night long. We've been pinching pennys lately and so busy with Roller Derby tournaments aproaching, so it was nice to get out and have a real date night. And the music was GREAT!

Saturday Night- the surprise Wintersleep Show! and sharing dirty secrets with one of my besties! It was a great girls night out!

What I wish was different:
There simply is not enough bathrooms available for this many people in one place! It's so bad, they have people on security duty just to supervise trees and allys, to make sure people don't pop a squat and pee behind them. It's kind of rediculous.

Derby Baby May 8th 2012

It is amazing how far we have come with technology. today this is evident more than ever.

Today I sit at my work desk. glued to my cell phone and facebook, eagerly watching and waiting, while a friend updates the birth of her sisters/my friends baby.

and this is no ordinary baby. No. This is a Derby Baby! Our whole Roller Derby team feels attached to this little bug.

We were in our 3rd last game of the season last year. Mo'Rocko, our team captain, was Jamming, after weeks of working up her strength and stamina to debut this game as a jammer. We lost the game, but won the after party! and Mo killed on the track!

Then Mo took a hiatus from Practice for a few days. She told us she was "sick". When she came back, she dropped a bomb on us. She was pregnant! Her Derby career was being put on hold for a magical bundle of joy. This was the first pregnancy in our league since we started the league a short year and a half before.

As months went by, We attended a very derby wedding, and then a very derby baby shower. Our team had specific "Roller Derby Baby Parties", and we shared in the life changes taking place with our beloved team captain, now turned coach.

It was too exciting to sit behind my computer screen and see that first update on this mornings news feed - In the Delivery room!  - followed by 25 comments.

Update #2 - its a long night but still doing well - followed by 20-40 more comments.

Update #3 - need positive vibes for baby and mommy. - followed by every team mate dropping a thought into the feed. all anxiously waiting the news.

and finally, the last update: It's A Boy!!!!! Mommy and Baby are doing great! - hundreds of comments followed. hundreds of smiles at our little derby baby. The name was revealed, and naturally, our Teammates started nicknaming the little Guy with fighting Derby names. He will be a scrapper no doubt, with a team full of moms. He will be so loved, and is so special, He will have a wonderful life.

Today I was over the moon, vicariously living through a teammate and new mommy, every step of the way. Today was a reminder of how wonderful this life really is and how lucky we are to have so much at our finger tips.

Congratulations to My Friend, Teammate, Captain, Coach, and now, Mommy. I can't wait to watch that little bundle of joy grow into a terror!

Sh*t My Friends Say 2

This weekend, some of my Sorority sisters got together for an old school style  girly sleepover. complete with horrible-for-you-snacks, Movies, Truth or dare, Prank texts to boys (because, texting is the new prank calls) and girl talk until 6am.

here's a little bit of what came out of it:

RoommateN bought supplies to make homemade lipgloss.

Ingrediants; vasaline and cool-aid.

Instead of cool-aid, she had the calorie-wise crystal light packets.

So I said to her, :“ Oh that’s better anyway, cuz…Who wants to get fat from lipgloss?!”
RoommateN: “Why!? Are you gonna eat it?”

Bahahaha’s ensued

"They taste like CHEESE . . . balls!!!!"  *10 girls laugh hysterically*

said while eating some new giant tube of cheesy-poofs 

TGirl on a truth topic: "One time I ate a whole bag of starburst, and the next day I pooped and it was green!"

Friend pics dare:  her response to the instructions, which involve dressing like tarzan

“do you have to get naked?”

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

Prank Texting late at night:

• on a scale of goat and elephant, where would you hide your marble?
• on a scale of goat and elephant, which would you rather have sex with?
• on a scale of 1-10, what would you rate your willingness to have sex with a dolphin?
• would you like some cha cha with your tango?
• want to ride a carousel with me?
• would you like some hot sauce with your goat?

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

 Dare:

 

• Put ice cube down your pants and let it melt.
• Sister runs to neighbor boys house, knocks on door and waits til someone answers to sing "I'm a little Tea Pot" . Sadly, no one was home. so instead, she stood in the drive way and screamed it to the world.

Shit my Friends Say

*Morning after a Party- A friend of ours had kidney stones, this was our conversation*
T-girl: Im so glad he came to the party, he had Kidney stones you know.
RoommateN: Ya, they must have passed, so he felt better
Me: I wonder if he kept them
T-Girl: *Yelling* WHY WOULD HE KEEP THEM!?!?
Me: People collect that shit! Go to a pawn shop. The bigger they are, the more expensive they are! *FACT*
RoommateN: They say passing kidney stones is worse than giving birth.
T-Girl: WTF
RoommateK: Yeah, it's like when people have a baby, they keep the baby; so why wouldn't you keep your kidney stones.


*Conversation on being good friends*
T-Girl to C- Boy: "We should be good friends! cuz like, I would never give you a blow job or anything"
C-Boy to T-Girl"How does that make you a good friend!?"


*Scene: Pirate Party - Boy throws sword at RoommateN.*
RoommateN: You hit me in the vagina!
Vagina Boy: *Blushes*
RoommateN: What!? You embarrassed by the word Vagina? you scared of vaginas? Vagina Boy, Vagina Boy!!! Everyone call him Vagina Boy!

Century!

I've been dieing to throw a Century Party again. The last time I attempted this drinking game was second year university with 4 roommates, 3 of which were men rugby players = Epic Fail all around!

I was trying to see if YouTube had any play lists of this genre, and found nothing but people puking. So I googled, and found this lovely downloadable gadget:

MyPowerHour - myPowerHour is a power hour application that works with iTunes and Winamp to make playing power hour much easier. myPowerHour will change the song every minute. Other features include multiple transition sounds and ability to track time, amount drank, and more.

HOW FUN!!!

Then I found this gem: http://www.dvdpartygames.com/

I know one of my new roomies will definitely attempt this with me! Stay Tuned for the update the of this excursion come!

Fresh Outlook on Life

When life gets hard, I like to reorganize and revamp my home.

It helps my mind flow, and I just Feel Better once I've taken charge and made some pleasant changes to my life.

My rents helped me purchase this lovely new bed for my "new" room. I'm moving rooms in the house, because I believe it will make me feel more comfortable, and get me out of a negative space that has a lot of empty and angry feelings connected to it.

(Sears.ca)

I'm also looking forward to 2 new roommates! there's nothing better than a close girlfriend. and these two ladies are the best girlfriends around! They've been there for me in an amazing way these past few weeks, from helping me drill nails and screws, to just being there when I needed a good cry-sesh.

(weheartit)

What do you do to change your life?

Bachelorette DeBrief

The Bachelorette Was AMAZING!!!

We had a Limo To and From the bar. Our Driver, Drew, was amazing!!! He took us on a tour of Halifax before the bar. We made many stops and had many photos taken. He shared his life story with us. Me met Celine Dion, and Condoleezza Rice! And on the way home, we took a tour downtown, and had a grand tally of 5 people moon our Limo! lol.Taboo Night Club is where we spent the night Dancing. It's a posh upper class bar, very fancy dress code; and very expensive drinks. I bought a bottle of wine for the ladies, and it cost 40$ for the cheapest bottle. but so worth it! They served everything in Wine or Martini glasses. Non of that plastic cup junk you get at regular dance bars.

And I spent hundreds of dollars Shopping!!! of course. who would have anticipated anything different?
H&M and Costa Blanca are my fav's!

Another Bachelorette Down, at least 2 more to go this year. :)

*All Picture Via Google Search*

Let the Bachelorette Weekend Begin!

Travels to Moncton and Halifax NB this weekend will be quit roudy and adventurous with my best sorority ladies in tow. It's our Sorority SisterAmor's Bachelorette !!! Classy Sex&theCity Theme!

Time for the comfy travel outfit:
Cotton fitted top and tights. easy, simple, classy.

My big decision of the weekend will be which dress to wear. I have a gold multi-way dress from Victoria's secret. a Black sequined dress which I've sported a few times already. And a More sexy/racy tube style black and white mini.

Not to mention the 5 pairs of shoes I packed. maybe I'll take a pic of my bag. sounds like a good idea. maybe not tho. We'll see.

Young Again

Today my two new girlfriends took me sliding with their 4 kids aged 2 to 7.
I can't remember the last time I felt so ridiculously happy.

My friend who is 28 and I, 25, had a race down the hill. She went faster but I went further. haha. Her little girl screamed with joy as she announced who was faster and farther.

I went down the hill with my friend. then with her little girl. it was so much fun!

When's the last time you played in the snow?

Today I am especially thankful for these friends, and moments like this, because today was a sad day.

Late last night I found out that a friend has passed away. He died in a car crash on December 27th 2010. I can't make it home for his wake today or his funeral tomorrow. But my thoughts and payers are with him and his family. I hope they can get threw this sad time, and get back to the happiness that life and friends bring to us.

A very wise Lady said to me once, "You will get through this!"

Good-Bye my friend. You are loved and missed so much. more than you could ever know.

Life as we know it

My house has turned inside-out! and I love it!

I finished school, quite my prestigious job at sun life, made a new best friend, got a job doing what I love - even tho it barely pays the bills, and had a new family member move in. All in the past 2 weeks

The girl I met on RideShare, from Slovakia, has basically spent the last week at our house, watching movies, cooking, shopping, doing our nails, waking up to the first snowfall of a Fresh Canadian Winter! It's been fabulous! She's bubbly and funny, if I was a lesbian I'd totally be in love.

My sister-in-law-to-be has moved here for work, and is living with us until she can find a house to buy... who knows how long that will take. But I'm loving having her around. She's brought much sanity to my life this past week. We are getting ready for her big German Shepard Dog to be shipped down and move in next. This should be interesting...

New Friends and BBQ

(piture by www.rioc.com/bbq.htm)

Tuesday Night Big D. and I went to a BBQ with our new "baby-family" friends. We've never had close friends with kids before, so this is a new adventure for us. Like looking into our near future.
It was a wonderful night! we had 4 families get together, and everyone brought a side, with their own "meat/veggies" for grilling. We could have fed a small army with all of the food we had! Some of my favorites were:

• homemade potato salad *with a special ingredient* by lady J.
• Spinach and cheese dip from M&M meat shop - sooo yummy! by Big D and I.
• Ultimate Ceasar Salad by Lady J.'s friend

And then the parents had fun trying to scar Big D. and I out of having kids. They told us stories of their kids not eating for days in rebellion; poop flying toddler frenzies; endless crying; and grandparents spoiling their kids. I just laughed. Seeing these parents playing with their kids in the yard was too adorable to let the stinky stuff ruin it.

My friend Lady J.'s husband reminds me of my friend Dus. At first I wasn't sure about him, but then I realised who he reminded me of; now I'm more than excited to spend more time with him and Lady J. as I know exactly how to handle the situation. He has this funny mean humour about him. always testing you and poking at your buttons. I find it very entertaining.

and then Sadly, Big D. and I had to leave as it got dark and cold, and we had come on the motorbike.

I can't wait until the next one!

lots to talk about

I have 3 main topics I want to talk about today. So I'll divide them into sections for easy reading.

Topic #1

Facebook has made me proud. This is a rare and epic event I must add. They have taken on the AMBER Alert program, and the Fredericton group already has 16,000+ members who "Like" this application.

I think this is GREAT!

I like knowing that the media is going to save lives and better our community, rather than create gossip and drama as it usually does. It will make abductions nearly impossible to happen and escape without intervention. So I am proud to say, I've "Liked" this application on my FB page!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topic #2

I had a Fabulous Dinner Party last night for all of my favorite local ladies! I have 4 or 5 different groups of friends who don't know each other. So, This past monday, I decided I want everyone to come over and meet each other, and stuff themselves with all the yummy food I could find in my kitchen.

(image found at: http://www.thepajamaparty.info/girltalk.html)

It went GREAT!

Everyone got along so well; with tones of food, we drank wine and cocktails, made a girly craft, and watched Big Brother 12. I love hosting events for the people I love! And the turnout on my guest list was 90% which is especially amazing!

I know sometimes you have different groups of friends who don't particularly mesh well together, but last night I had the best crew around! Since I've graduated from my Sorority life, I don't have the "instant party" following me around anymore. I just have select groups of friends now. It was nice to see where I've come from; and now, where I am going and who is going forward with me into the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topic #3.

This is an issue I'm kind of torn over. It's good, but also bad.

Part 1. Big D.'s Alberta Boss has offered him a position out there upon completion of his Masters program. This is Great, because our lives will be stable, and he'll have the career of his dreams. The pay he's been offered is ridiculously good; I could potentially be the stay at home mother I dream of being.

But I'm torn because, we'd be leaving our first home; moving out west; away from all family and friends; probably to a more rural environment. I could also get a better job in AB, as there are vast job opportunities there compared to the few measly choices here. But I so very much want to start my little family here. I feel like we'd be selling out on happiness just for him to make more money.

(image from FeelingInspired Blog)

Part 2. Big D. gets to come home this Monday. It's great because he's coming home 2 weeks early. But it's bad, because they are sending him back for 3 weeks in September/October. So, I was happy when he first told me; then my heart sank when he said he will be leaving again.

It's like ,he just gets back and we have to say good-bye again.

So I have a lot of decision making to do over the next year with Big D. Sometimes, I wish I hadn't chosen this adult life so quickly, and had taken the path my brother took; adventuring the world over before settling down. But, when I'm 45 my kids will be heading off to university, while the bro's kids, if he has any by then, will still be in diapers or teen distress, haha.

Darn Life! Why must you be so hard!?!

Some Things I don't take for granted:

1. Don't throw stones in a glass house. Unless you can rebuild it. A.k.a. back it up!
2. 2 ply toilet paper; or more!
3. great friends. the ones who will be there no matter what. who don't turn their back on you. who don't judge. Who speak up when things need to be said.
4. my parents
5. learning how much my horrible little brother really loved me, when I was cast off by that army man who broke my heart. My bro helped me move 3 times in 1 month, before I found myself again and a place to call home.
6. my fiance for freezing my credit cards. literally! that chunk of ice saved me from myself.
7. people who believe in love. like my friend a. at This Blog
8. YouTube video's that say it better than I can. like "Better With You" by Five Times August
9. Being able to help others. I hooked my friend up with a dream job this past week. I'm born for this HR lifestyle!
10. My Church. Teaching Sunday school. Church Youth Groups. I know who I am now, because of these things.

What do you not take for granted?

Drama - Beware

Ke$ha's song "Backstabber" is the perfect theme song to what's going on around me right now.

My girlfriend cheated on her Fiance; waite make that 2 or more girls I know have done this to their significant others. Everyone wants to take sides and talk shit. My fiance and I support our couple friends fully, and it's up to them to work it out. So everyone else needs to cut them some slack. Life and love are sometimes hard.

**Let me clarify - if my guy cheated on me; I would definately be kicking his ass out the door! as he would to me. We've had that discussion. as a couple we know, nobody is perfect. But it's not our business what other couples do; UNTIL it starts affecting our lives. In which case, this recent split did in a negative way, and thus is why I am ranting right now**

But those girls who turn their back on their friends, you're no better than the cheater. You dont know the whole story. Stop thinking you're better than everyone else. Maybe you have a secret you're trying to hide, and this couple has shown what the ugly truth really looks like.

To those "fake friends" who use and abuse your friendship. please stop txting me, calling me, asking for wine, drives, and my personal time. Pretending you want to hang out with your fake smiles and msg's. I am tierd of giving you wine, a shoulder to cry on, and an ear to gossip in; when all you do is rant about being a feminist and then turn around and say something stupid like, "I'd sleep with a guy for his car". Um, Newsflash, That's What Hookers Do!

Dear Best Friend, You've really sucked this past week. you know why. enough said.

The angry-wives-club has dissapated, but still fill me with fears of wedding failure. I don't care if your marriage failed. I'm still going to believe in love, and that when 2 peopl love each other, they get married; and make it work.

So, to everyone who's talking shit, spreading shit, and just plain stupid; This one's dedicated to you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This drama has been filling my mind, up to the boiling point. So much, to the point where I've found it hard to blog lately. I appologise, and will resume bloging respectively, about happier things; hopefully within the next few days.

Dance the night away

how much do i love my life?
tonight i bought a new dress. sent my love a picture, and went danceing with my best friend and her hot vrench cousin.
we were hit on by tones of army men...
and then i went home, I picked up subway, and chatted up the subby-people about he King street closure, they say it only hinders people leaving the area, and it hasn't really helped the cause. I reminded them, there are less people running infront of cabs and cars at the end of the night, that must count? they just laughed.
Then I caught a cab, in which I met a fellow African!!! He was from North Africa. We reminisced about mean cabbys and mean cab-goers and had a great laught at Canadians... (waite, shhhh I didnt tell you that!) I told him how lucky I was to find my own Canadian Boy and how I'm getting married! He said to me, Oh, You shouldn't marry Canadian, you should be marrying a African! lol. such a sweet heart!
oh did I mention he goes to university. AND drives a cab! hahaha the irony! Such is Freddy Town!

Now I'm off to bed, and looking forward to a breakfast date with my naughty miss JoJo in the morning!

Almost, Single & Fabulous

Dear Mr. Coke Guy, Thank You for buying my ladies and I shots. We thought you might have been a creepy 64 ...Waite 46 year old. but we wrong wrong. you are very nice. I like older men. my fiance is 5 years older than me as a matter of fact!

Dear new girl,
is your name Tanya or Tara? I can't remember. those boys were cute. but I'm engaged, your dating, and Steph is not interested in army men! maybe if they could pull off more than just matching striped shirts, we wouldn't be blind sided by line frenzy and they'd have more luck! ...like Mr. Coke Guy!

Dear HR Class. I have drank entirely too much this week. I apologise for my inhumanities of tiered thinking while speaking in class. but you all laughed, so i guess It couldn't have been too bad. P.S. Dear Gary, Sorry I pick on you, but you're a man, and you make it entirely too easy.

Tonight reminded me of the time I stole my lady's "dance partner" from the Hiltop dance floor. The next morning I woke up...I ended up in Oromocto, and he asked me if I would be open to a threesome with his wife/baby mama.... EEEWWWW!!!

You live, you learn! And I wouldn't trade these moments for anything in the world!

Sunday Session

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Plans for tonight:

Class Bonding with some of my Human Resource Ladies at a Passion Party.

I'm excited, as it is the first social event we are doing together out of class time. I'll be drinking red wine and keeping an eye open for the Gold-Dust Powder.

I hope you are all staying cool in tghis muggy weather!

my addiction to hair products, extensions and dye to be exact, has left my hair frazzled and yacky. In short, I have yacky black girl hair. How do I fix it?
