Um…Ooops!

June 14th, 2009

Bruiser has had me up early the last two days and so I’ve been watching early morning TV which one TLC means infomercials. This morning was one on some acne pills. I have never heard of acne pills before except for birth control pills which are touted as working on acne.

After that, Bruiser and I headed out to Tim Horton’s for my coffee and muffin and then we headed home to do my normal Sunday cleaning. At just after 10am I called my father to wish him a Happy Dad’s day.

Ooops…that is not until next weekend he tells me but we both had a quick laugh.

Reminder to self…call Dad next Sunday to do the same :)

Square. Bulky. Shapeless. Those are words I currently use to describe me. But I just stand there and stare at the unknown person in the mirror promising them that I will soon care and do something about it secretly wishing that some diet pill will be come into my life and make it all better. I guess lazy is another word I should throw in there to describe me.

I have been exceedingly busy at work as we needed to ramp up and complete my part of 4 training sessions which started two weeks ago. Writing a keynote presentation, manual and a quick guide and then preparing the training presentation took over my life as well as studying for a CGA exam I had on Thursday. Oh…and let us not forget the 2nd, 16 page manual and quick guide I had to create for a coworkers presentation…so yes, hence the quiet over here.

Friday, I worked from a Panera’s as Bruiser was neutered. Since it was a low cost SPCA shelter that did the surgeries, you dropped your animal off at 8am and picked them up at 5pm. Since it was over an hour away from home, I decided to stay in the vicinity but just needed a wi-fi place to stay.

Today and yesterday, I have been watching Bruiser and his incision. He’s pretty much back to normal and only been caught twice licking at his wound. He’s doing pretty good and I have promised him the dog park next weekend. I don’t think he understands, but he will next weekend as he realizes where we are driving too :)

Did you hear that? Don’t be alarmed it is just my stomach. This constant hunger has got to end! I haven’t had time to call the doctor as work has been pretty much hectic (worked 10 hours yesterday) and 8.5 today. I had to give a training presentation at 9am and then had to finish a sales analysis for a VP and also work on a manual for the second training presentation to be given soon.

Then when at head office to go over the bones of the manual I was putting together one of our data files of our agency got corrupted and well…all hell breaks loose.

Yep, no time. Tomorrow should be tons better…a nice little breather for the last couple of days.

Lazy Sunday

I’ve been watching TLC all weekend, they’ve been having a huge run on “48 Hours: Hard Evidence” – but unfortunately they are shows I’ve seen after the last marathon they had a month or so back. Instead I should be studying for my CGA exam (Jun 11) but instead I slept quite a bit this weekend.

Normally when I sleep a lot something is wrong but except for the weight issues I’m having I’m okay. I’m not yet stressed over my finances as I have some workarounds sot hat is okay too. Maybe I just needed sleep…I do go through periods of loving sleep and sleeping too much to not sleeping much at all.

I was reading Red Flag Deals today, their home section and there was a post on vermiculite and I immediately thought of a post I did on Mesothelioma lawyers. Funny, I didn’t know that a lot of old houses used vermiculite as insulation and to take that even further I didn’t know that it could be contaminated with asbestos. My father used to love his old homes…wonder how many I lived in had this stuff in it?

It is 10:50pm…almost time take Bruiser out for his last potty outting of the day and call it a night.

There’s No Accountin’ For Taste

I was watching ‘Moving Up” today and one of the families wanted a ‘country crap’ look to her new home. She took cinder blocks and dragged them all over the wood floors to make them look lived in. I cringed. She also wanted a slop sink in her kitchen rather than one of the many nice country lookingcopper kitchen sinks available.

When she was done, her kitchen looked like a little small, dark old shack. To each their own I guess, but eww!
