Well it has been awhile since I update this thing. Anyhow, our beloved Black Chevy Cavalier, has been acting up lately and giving us grief. So the hubby and I have been shopping for a new vehicle for the past bit. For our vacation and Kev's sister wedding we rented a Grand Caravan with stow and go seating and loved the vehicle immensely. So we decided to check and see what Chevy had to offer, yesterday afternoon with my father in law in tow. (I am really glad we brought him along, he was Switzerland and sorta listened to what both Kevin and I had to say about the potential vehicles)
Anyhow after about 4 hours of deliberating..........we are now the proud owners of a Chevy Uplander Extended version! :) We pick it up Monday night after work. :) |

Well holidays for me did not begin till after 9 pm on the 23rd. I had just Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off this year. Let me tell you it seems like Christmas flew by, it went faster than the approach to Christmas Day.
Well Kevin (my hubby) and our roomate Keith managed to get the house back together again after the hubby and his dad painted the the bedrooms, bathroom and living room. For awhile most of the living room furniture was store in the kitchen making it pure hell to make any meals. So when I came home after work on the 23 rd it is was great to see that I had so little to do.
Then for Christmas Eve morning it was running around doing some last minute shopping like groceries and a few small gifts.
Then later that afternoon we went over to Kev's mom house for Christmas with her and Joe. We had an awesome time there, the boys got spoiled rotten, big surprise! Joe played Santa and handed out all the gifts, and he had one for Zackary and he says I have a present here for Zackary is there a Zackary here.
Zackary responded in a high pitch voice "Thats me! A present for me?!"
It was really cute. Then after unwrapping presents we had a huge and wonderful dinner that mom cooked. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, turnip and carrots, cranberry sauce, mix veggies. I even had a glass of white wine with mom and joe. Then we had hot apple pie for dessert, mom also made peanut brittle. The peanut brittle is the best I ever had!
Then for Christmas Day morning we got the kids up at 7:30am (at least we thought it was because the alarm clock in our bedroom said that, only to find out that the kids messed with it and it was actually 6:30 am!!!) Kev and I woke the kids up early because he was on call for any plumbing emergencies that could arise so he wanted to be sure to see the kids open up all their presents. We spoiled the boys again this year, with a 20" colour TV for their playroom. We also got them another power wheels so this way they are not fighting as to who gets to drive. Plus various other toys and books. The Monsters that courage_mylove made for the boys the loved them alot.
Then later in the afternoon Kev's dad and Melissa came over for Christmas dinner with us. They spoiled the boys as well. The boys got the Fisher-Price Karkoke machine where they can see themselves on the TV singing...really cute and fun thing for them. They also got these really cool military helicopters that run on a pull string (no batteries required!!! :) ) Anyhow Kev started playing with one in the house and nearly took out the Christmas tree and I put my foot down and said that is an outside toy. So the boys and Kev and Dad went outside to play with the toys while waiting for dinner to cook. Well we have a huge tree in our front yard and guess what, the helicopter got stuck in the tree. Kev tries to knock it out of the tree with a pole from his truck. Kev jumps and slips on the snow and falls on his a$$! Melissa and I are pissing ourselves laughing. Then dad tries to throw the broom to knock it out and it gets stuck in the tree. Then Kevin tries to throw a snowshovel to knock out the broom and helicopter and it gets stuck. Then I say to the plumbers (both of them are certified plumbers) why don't you take out the rods to do plumbing and knock the items out of the tree with that? Well after Mel and I peeing our pants and our bellies hurting everything was back safe and sound on the ground!
What really made Christmas for me this year was the kids and how into Christmas they were. Of course Kevin and his Dad in the front yard was a highlight too.
I am looking forward to New Year's Eve, I think we are going to have a Texas Hold 'Em Poker night with the next door neighbours....should be fun.
Well that is all for now. |

We had a movie night, watched SAW II which was fucking awesome!!! I really loved sequel even better than the original.
It was a nice evening, sat down and put in SAW II, shared some Bailey's Irish Cream and milk--watched the flick and shared a "loaded" brownie.

| Update time |
[Sep. 14th, 2005|10:07 pm] |
Well, I figured since I have not updated in here since Toronto Trek, that an entry was due.
Things are looking up now, it just seems that you have waves of good things and waves of bad.
But at work I fortunate to be working in the Human Resources department at where I have worked now for the past 5 years. (I work in a call center as a customer service and sales representative) I have been on the phones all this time, and finally I am getting a break.
Only until recently that I have been seriously thinking of leaving where I am, because it has been the people I work with that keep me there. These are my extended family in a sense. I don't know whether this opportunity is because upper management caught wind that I looking and had interviews elsewhere.
So for the time being I am staying at the company for the valuable experience they are giving me in the recruitment aspect of HR. This knowledge can be applied elsewhere, if only where I work actually gave out proper references. (Due to privacy law and also potential litigition my employer is really tight with giving out references, they will just verify employment.)
The one thing that I love about working in HR is that no matter how little of a task that anyone assigns to me they thank me for taking care of it for them. For the longest time I felt so unappreciated at work and then I get bowled over with their appreciation. (It caught me by surprise)
The only thing I miss really is my co-workers and our chit chat. It is so funny how many people have told me that they miss me from my department that I was working in. I must be having an inadequate moment but I just feel that I am just me, how could I be missed??? I dunno maybe I am not giving myself enough credit but I think that I should be missed as much as I am. Then again maybe these coworkers of mine feel the same way I do and in saying that I miss them, maybe they wonder the same way I do.....
Well enough deep thought, my brain has been getting quite the workout in the past 2 weeks. I have learnt so much and trying to absorb all the information that is being thrown at me. I am very appreciative of how my current coworkers have such the patience and understanding to train me and show me the ropes. I appreciate their guidance and assistance.
But I miss the conversation aspect of being at work too. Oh well I am fitting in but I am trying to get confortable there but it is not easy. |

| TT was awesome!!! (now recovering) |
[Jul. 20th, 2005|10:01 pm] |
Just a quick post to say that TT was f'ing amazing and a blast!
Pretty much average about 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night if I was lucky.
Lots of great laughs and great memories.
I will embellish some more once I have recovered completely, especially looking at doing a post-con report.
Thanks to one and all, from congoers, to volunteers, to guests, to convention committee. It was a fantastic year and I can't wait for next year!! |
