Quick update

Hey all my followers....Tiff....
LOL!
Just wanted to say how I havent really been blogging lately but I do have quite the blog to write later tonight so hang tight.
There will be something soon.

Snow day???? I don't think so....

Ok, so you may be aware of a big N'or East'r we were sposed to have yesterday and last night. The snow started sometime while I was on my lunch and by the time I got back from eating it was snowing pretty heavily. The wind seemed kind of high too.
We got to leave earlier then normal and that was ok, but it didn't make much difference because we were stuck in traffic and by the time I actually got home, it was only like 15-20 minutes difference in any other day.
Anyway, the snow was falling for pretty much a couple hours after we got home and was done by 9ish...nothing too serious.

Would you believe that people called in a snow day today? Ok, maybe I shouldn't judge because I don't know what the road conditions were like out around their way, but I live way out in the boonies and the roads were the best kind.....so......I don't know. I was kind of baffled that people called in a snow day.
We don't even get snow days where I work.
At times like these I wish I was a teacher!
Think about it.....all Summer off, snow days off, that nice long Christmas break, Spring break....not too shabby pay....
Maybe I should do a teaching degree.....
Until then.....

June 2010

Ok so June brought a massive amount of stress. You can probably imagine with our wedding only weeks away. But, unfortunatly, I didn't bring these stresses on myself. My family did....rather our family did.
I am not going to elaborate on the nitty gritty of what it was about but let's just say there was some weight issues, wedding issues, and more weight issues....
I can't say that I exactly got them all resolved...except the weight issue, because I managed to get so stressed out that I lost all kinds of weight. Geez. I just found it pretty bad that the people that are supposed to be the most supportive werent really. I love our family, of course I do, but how much they were frusterating me, well, I dunno. I wasn't a happy camper.
One of the good things that did happen during June though was that we finally met with our Padre for our wedding. He was a really nice man, He talked to us about different things such as marriage and the Holy Unity, as well as starting a family. Once again, it made me really excited for the big day, because what he was explaining to us meant so much, was so powerful, that I couldn't help but smile the whole time.
July was right around the corner.....and you know what came with July....
Until then.....

Don't criticize the way I eat!!!!

Ok...so my beef today is people who think they are much healthwise then other people. People being co-workers and other people being me.
It makes me irritable and cranky when I get told that what I eat is bad for me. I may not be the most healthy eater in the world, but I am not porking out to McDonald's or other greasy crap for every meals.
Just because we use a deep fryer on occasions makes us glutton's for punishment??? Well, I am truly sorry but I like my deep-fried chips so sue me for wanting to enjoy my life instead of watching every effin calorie I consume.
I don't know....it just ....amazes me how one person I know at work can totally get there and bash me and my eating habits when she is practically starving herself on this Atkins diet or whatever she is on!
Where are the nutrients in that? And how is she really benefitting from it? Like, really.
I am not dissing people that want to cut back on all the goodies in their life - Lord knows I have tried....kind of succeeded but jumped on the junkfood bandwagon again ...and I really admire their courage to stick to their guns. But I DO NOT AGREE with starving yourself just to look beautiful! How can you even enjoy life?
My biggest thing, when I finally do start taking care of myself is to lose the weight, is to feel better because I can most definitely feel the Christmas pounds around my middle....yes, I would love to be the size I was 6 years ago but I know it is never going to happen, so for now, as soon as I am ready, I will take baby steps and reach small goals.
And for those haters out there who are too busy judging people, in my personal opinion, I think you are all too self-conscious over your own bodies and apperances, so maybe you should just concentrate on yourself.
And on that note, I am going to go eat a healthy banana because believe it or not, I do eat healthy.

Until Then....

May 2010

This month was a little more exciting then April.
For starters I had a major meltdown at work. I am not kidding. They overworked me and it totally stressed me out. To the point where I got up from my desk, went to the bathroom and cried. I don't want to sound like a big wimp who can't handle a huge workload. I normally manage on any given day, but on this particular day it really got to me and I just couldn't handle it. I almost walked out, that's how bad it was. It was too much to put it plainly. I think on that particular day that was the real defining moment of "I don't know how much more of this shit I can take" mode. And I have been feeling it since.

Other then that, we had our marriage classes right before the long weekend. They were incredinly insightful. Especially the one about managing finances. I could have thrown up when she said how much a kid costs. Yeeeh.
It made me really excited though to have the actual wedding because I couldn't wait to marry the man I love with my whole heart. It was pretty two months from the date of the classes *or close enough*.

The other interesting thing that happened that month was our first weekend of camping (we actually went twice that month). I frigin love camping and when I go like 6 months with getting the camper all ready and whatever, I start to get the itch. I long for it, I crave it, it's impossible not to think about it. It was nice going but I got kind of sick the last night we were there so while everyone else was out by the campfire I stayed in the camper and watched movies.

So that was May. The countdown was officially on before the wedding. And I knew the next two months were going to be intense.

Until then.....

The tree

Would you believe it came down!!!?!?!?

But it wasn't done by the co-workers(Is that even a shock?) Well, not the ones that should have done it anyway. The payroll sup did it. Thats unbelievable. Not only should she not have to do it regardless because of the position she is in, but she already took down the rest of the decorations that were hanging around the office!!! She done her share. I done my share!
What the hell happened to the rest of them.

Better yet, what happened to teamwork? Seriously! I mean, every day I go there and I can feel my patience growing thinner with each passing moment. I don't want to sound repitious, but I can't help the way I feel can I?

I mean, I went in yesterday morning , pretty early, one of the first ones in there!! Of course the tree was standing there pathetically with not a stitch on. The payroll sup came in and she asked me where the box for the tree was. I told her she shouldn't be taking down the tree, but she did anyway.

Today I almost had it out with a couple of my co-workers because they don't get how I bend over backwards to help them in anyway possible. But do you think they see it? No, they just bitch and complain when I ask them to help with it in the littlest way possible! And what do I get? Attitude.
I think it's about time I gave some attitude back.

Until then.....

April 2010

I can't say a hell of a lot happened during this month.
It was a month of unseasonable warmth (again), and lots of work stresses. NOT KIDDING!

Ok, so when I say unseasonable warmth I am not exaggerating when I say that. It must have been like plus 20 there a couple of days. Just the thing to get me excited about the Summer which was still like 2 months away. We had fantastic weather for the long Easter weekend. It was great! I was indeed not complaining.

C went away and the stess came on. It wasn't because he was gone, it was because work was stressing me out. Which is typical. It didn't help that I didn't really have anyone to bitch to about it besides for my journal.

I told you nothing exciting happened in April.....
Until then.....

Update on "the tree situation".

It's still up.

Nobody has taken it down.

Can you say lazy?

Guess I should start cutting out hearts and make it a "Valentine Tree" because I am not budging in terms of taking it down!!

March 2010

The very first memorable thing that happened in this particular month was that the day right after Sidney got the winning goal for the Gold medal, a girl on the bus looked at me and asked me if maybe they "set it up" so that he would get it! I kind of looked at her like WTF. I couldn't believe she said such a thing.
You don't need to "set" someone up as talented as Sid!!!
Seriously.

March brought some unusual seasonable warmth. The snowstorm we had days before seemed like it didn't even happened because with how mild everything was, it certainly took an edge off the amount of snow. (I wasn't complaining). C came home days later which also took care of the feeling of lonliness I had.

St. Paddy's day came and C decided to have a party. I was up for that! :) We invited a few of our friends, decorated the house in some green splendor and had quite the laugh, esp at the Pudd as she was kind of tentative about getting "treats" from one of our guests.

In terms of wedding preps, I attempted to get our invitations in the mail. We had decided to try and save money that we would make our own on the printer.
That sooooo did not work. I ended up wasting like 3o and I also almost lost my mind. Finally, after having enough, we decided to go with getting them done, which cost an extra couple hundred plus from what we already spent.
I guess it was worth it though, because at least I didn't rip my hair out...that would have been drastic for the wedding!

Anyway...that was March.
Until then....

The tree MUST come down

No Friends, I am not talking about the tree in my very own house. I am talking about the tree at my place of employment. The very same tree that sits in the main reception area, right next to my desk in all it's naked glory.
You ask, why don't you just take down the damn tree then????!

It's like this: I absolutly REFUSE to take down that tree because plain and simple I am tired of doing pretty much every thing in that place and not getting the recognition for it. My supervisor nailed it right on the nose when she said that some of the girls in the office area take advantage of me and I need to learn to not do stuff to please everyone.

And it isnt like I didnt do anything to help. I took every bulb(broke a couple actually), every bow and every light off that tree.....packed it away and brought it down to the storage room. I even so much as brought the tree box up and laid it by my desk so that others would not have to go out of their way because heaven forbid they do something a little extra (sheesh)....
And when did I do this?????? When did I strip the tree of all it's trinkets and beauty? YESTERDAY MORNING BEFORE 9:00 A.M.
And here it is, pretty much two days later still standing there.
I told my supervisor it can stay there until next Christmas for all I care, because I refuse refuse refuse to take it down.

If my other supervisor does not like it, TOO EFFIN BAD!!!!!

Until then......

February 2010

February started as any other would.
And to be honest, there isn't too much to even talk about when it comes to that particular month.
Valentine's was good to me. C bought me roses, a Sidney Crosby Team Canada figurine, and chocolates. Oh yea, and a cute little devil bear. :) We went out for supper to my favourite Swiss Chalet.
Unfortunately, he had to go away a few days later so it was kind lonely here for a while. We had a major snow storm resulting in me having to miss work because there were no buses running. No odds, I felt like crap anyway, and it was a lovely excuse to go back to bed!
A few days later we had to work during the weekend for our inventory. That is always a treat (NOT). It makes for a long annoying day where nobody really wants to be there. At least we only have to do it once a year and not every weekend.
The day after that long work day was the Gold game against Canada and USA!!!
I was very much pumped to watch this game because my boy Sid was going to be there playing.
I made plans to go over to my sisters for supper and to watch a majority of the game. And as you know, my boy Sid got the winning goal to bring the gold...or rather keep the gold in Canada! :)
Yaaaay!!!
It was a pretty emotional moment for me as I watched him tip that puck in the Americans net. People might think me as a bit of a spaz to say that, but I truly did cry when they won the gold, and it was my favourite player who helped achieve that shining moment.
The 2010 Olympic Games were a triumphant time for Canada as we took home 14 Gold medals, 7 silver, and 5 bronze. I am truly proud to be a Canadian. Always have bee, always will be.
Until next time.
