Tequila prom date 2008
Thursday, March 06, 2008
The weirdest thing you can possibly do when you have pneumonia is try on your prom dress!
Since I've had so much time off I've decided to go through my closet and get rid of anything that doesn't fit or is older than Jesus Christ. I don't have any prom pictures on my computer so I had to put it on. How hilariously weird! Maybe I should keep it on until Sean comes home and have him think I've run a dangerous fever. I could pour tea in two cups and refer to an empty chair as Mrs. Nesbitt. Haha.
The back story about the dress is even funnier though. Ok so I wore this dress like a pro for about 10 minutes before prom; I was looking pretty princessish and having fun. Then, because we are from Hamilton, me Brooke and Sharmy decided to do a couple shots of tequila out of the trunk of someone's car before we went in for the dinner. IIIIIIII hate tequila so I wasn't rushing it and suddenly some security was coming so I downed it and half went down... my dress. I spent the whole prom being a pretty pretty princess with tequila on her and a little sweater. Haha. Oh memories.
Anyway, thankfully I won't have to put anything else on I think. Looking forward to the closet and floor space since right now it's just my fabulous mattress. The bedroom set is finally getting here the end of March, though! That's exciting and I'll take pictures when it's all set up :) It will be the 5th room in the house done (since we've also painted the downstairs bathroom and basement). Oh right and I guess that means it's my birthday soon... what to do?
As far as how I feel, I am just taking my medicine and drinking lots of green tea and Starbucks honey latte's. They are so good if you haven't tried them you should. I'm hoping to be back to "normal" soon...

Not jelly

Yeah so I went to the Dr. and I actually do have pneumonia. Like you, I thought I was just exaggerating too! But nope. So I'm on some anti-biotics and not really resting as much as I should so that can be Sunday's task.
The only other time I had pneumonia was when I worked at a doctors office. One of the nurses, when she wasn't engaged in gossip with the other nurses as I find out is the only thing nurses do, got concerned about my cough and asked the doctor to insist at looking at me. Since he was my boss I felt pretty weird about going along with that but turns out it was a good idea. Honestly I thought pneumonia wasn't real, first thing I thought to myself.. no shit eh? my grandma was always warning me about that! He was a super nice guy and went and got anti-biotics from his own house so I wouldn't have to buy any since I had no insurance. Anyway, sometimes I like to remember stuff like that, like from my last post.. just keeping it consistent. I could do it all day, so let's not get carried all away.
Thinking about writing this entry I've decided it's incredibly silly to try and explain being sick via text. To you I am just as charming as ever, but believe me I am miserable and messy. Of course right away I put my brain to the task of fixing this with some really descriptive situation you could imagine. This is what I came up with; bare with me.
As soon as you finish reading this you go to type a really important e-mail and all of a sudden strawberry jam stars oozing out of your keyboard. Omg it's all over your hands! No.. your keyboard will never be the same, always sticking the B or S. Who would do this?! Someone walks in the room, perhaps with a handlebar mustache and hypnotizing swirls for eyes, with a fist full of strawberry jam! Oh no what's he going to do with that? Touch your tv? Your curtains? No.. no he pets your cat who gets mad and shits on the floor then tries to "bury it" by tearing up your carpet. It smells terrible in here, and you don't know what to clean first. Then the guy walks over to you and strawberry jams your eyebrow hair straight up, puts glasses on you and leaves them completely askew and punches you in the chest. Before he leaves he tells you that wasn't jam.
Ok so that's how I feel. Enjoy your disease free day!

Leap Day is the best day!
Friday, February 29, 2008
I figured I would post the search of the week on this glorious 29th day of February! Let's see.. it's snowing like crazy outside, as of this morning I realize I probably have pneumonia and I got shafted on a payment because someone else is sick. It's ok though because tomorrow I get to have a root canal at 9am. What a glorious day! Haha.
I cannot tell you how much last night truly sucked. I thought I had a chest cold for the past 2 days until I fell asleep at 9pm and had massive chills and sweats all night. Chills are my most hated of all the sicks (Don't worry, puking, you will always be my number 1!) I remember one time I had the worst chills in the universe, I woke up thinking "should I die shivering in bed or die on my way to getting a sweater?" It's as if the cold was literally in my skin and I had no chance of ever getting warm again, however I decrepitly crawled around my room to find some sweaters and socks and extra pants. Anyway that's how last night was, so that memory was awesome. I don't recommend it, that's for sure.
Our search of the week is: asian girl hacked from photobucket flickr post
I don't know what this is about but that's terrible. I attempted to find a back-story here and all I came across was this chick who broke up with her boyfriend via facebook status, bragged about it on Digg, then got hacked into for basically being a stone cold bitch .. yanno. Interesting yes but she isn't asian so I don't care!
Really though, what a bitch.

Home Improvement 2
Monday, December 03, 2007
*This is also OOPS paint, FYI. 3 cans of it at $9 each. At first glance I thought it was more of a Heather Grey but ended up going on and drying a slight Robins Egg Blue. I'm going to be calling this Robins Grey Blue. Um, yeah I took a colour naming course in University... actually it was my major.
We decided to paint the kitchen, which was great because we were sick with the plague so what better thing to do then paint. However, nothing helps you get over a cold faster than a sense of accomplishment and self satisfaction; or at least that's what I've been told by people who can't afford real medicine. Personally I like to cover all my bases so I accomplished something and also bought the pharmacy out in remedies.. both placebo and real. Just in case my ability to believe in anything at all was lost after I watched The God Who Wasn't There. In response to the guy who commented on my last post: taking shots to cure my cold isn't an option.. that theory has been proven to simply get the cold drunk, then it gets angry, accuses me of stealing $5 from his pants and beats the shit out of me. Yeah it's that kind of cold. So let's see, I've bought a bunch of non generic Cold FX, Vitamin C (the tasty chewable kind), Neo Citran Cold and Cough, and Fish Oil. That last one was just for the hell of it! I also take iron and multivitamins everyday... so this is really fucking pilltastic. Ugh. Whatever though, I've determined I should definitely be feeling worse than this so I declare.. victory?!
My Fish also wanted to be included in the home improvements since I cleaned his tank. It was looking pretty scummy due to the fact he eats and shits enough for 10 fish.
Oh and my new zoolander phone is working pretty awesome, which I suppose is another improvement. My babe bought it for me since he decided it was an Ann phone, and got a hot pink plate for it. Sure it's the tiniest phone ever but it gets great reception in the house. Something that has been sucking for quite a while.
If I could only figure out where to talk into.

Chocolate Rain Oops Paint
Thursday, November 29, 2007
So last weekend we painted the livingroom! This is what it looks like. I sprained my toe in the process but it's done, it's brown, and.. I love it! We were thinking of painting it light grey, like the kitchen, but felt like that was too cool of a colour for all the sepia we had in there. It needed some punchy Chocolate Rain brown in there.
Tip #1 in how to be like me: try and get lucky with some oops paint at the store. This was a 5 dollar gallon!*
*In case you don't know what "oops paint" is, it is the paint at every store that mixes paint for you, that people have either saw and didn't like or changed their minds or didn't pick up. Because of that the paint is ridiculously marked down in price. Just ask where the oops section is if you don't see it.
This is my living Holiday Tree. I just figured I would get a pic of it before it is no longer living. I will be pretty impressed with myself if I can keep it alive until Christmas gets here! It has sparkles on it by the way.
This is our little movie/computer set-up. That is not where the chairs are supposed to go! When we find a suitable desk chair that I like then maybe I will retake this picture. I have so many movies stocked up for the winter I think I am OK if we get a snowstorm now.
I have been attempting to fight off the flu with that Cold FX stuff, plus some Vitamin C and NeoCitran. I am also drinking nothing but OJ. Usually I do this when I am already helplessly sick beyond repair and sound like a man BUT I am trying something new. Taking care of myself! Haha. If you want to be like me you ignore everything wrong with you just to, you know, "see what happens!"
So tip #3, is buy some Cold FX, or even the generic brand which is basically just caplets of 100% organic Echinacea. I'm feeling not so shitty, this is fantastic!
Lousy Smarch Weather

Here's some pics of the Bloody Party, no blood though. Up on Fotopic.net |
So now I pretty much have the flu; actually I've likely had it for a few days but now is when I'm feeling it. I'm not all that surprised since I've been taking care of my baby all week sick with the flu, plus this fucking weather is weird. So today I am attempting to 'take it easy' .. whatever that means. There's a really fine line between easy and bored, though.
To add to the awesomeness of being sick, I see that there is absolutely nothing even remotely interesting on tv everyday from 11:00am until whenever Ellen comes on. (You could lessen that time to 8:00am if you don't find paternity tests fascinating.) This is because:
1. Martha Stewart is the devil (and getting fatter, have you noticed?)
2. You couldn't pay me to watch those crazy bitches on The View
3. I refuse to watch Price is Right because I think it's wrong to witness and old man die in front of a national audience. It's got to be some form of being in hell to spend your last days on earth explaining Plinko and counting change that never equals more than a dollar.
I think I will see how Viva Pinata looks on the new TV, rather than Martha's fat ass cakes. This is the one moment in my life I've least wanted cake.
