days like these

This blog is the period blog.

Yup....is about that time of the month...or the gearing up of....

Cramps, migraine, tired, cranky....

I hate it.

I think I would sooner take the hot flashes, which I too have been having.... I have had enough....clearly I will not be having any children.

I'm going on 38.....I think....now it's memory loss! What next!

Anyway....my uterus feels like its about to fall out. I have a migraine from hell and I just want to go home, curl up in a ball and sleep....and maybe..... not wake up.

I have been taking drugs to help with the migraines. These drugs also help my shakes, which is great. Kill two birds with one stone. But the migraine is a little stronger today.

Legs just avoids me completely when the time comes...which is good. I am whiney, well more than normal, grumpy and always filling my face with food and water...I can't get enough of it.

He does do the cooking and gets the heating pad for me, but thats about it. And really, I too don't want him around.

The "monthly" is a curse....it is not my friend at all. I never could understand why some women called it "your friend". I get that if you didnt get it you would be with child, but let me say that it is not a friend, not mine anyway! I have many friends and none of them remind me of my period!

There are many different names for "it". Either way, it is a miserable few days for me and I can simply say it sucks!

4 of 365

1). dependable people...there are so few of them!

2). A good tasing chocolatey hot chocolate...yummmmy

3). Wrapping up in a fuzzy blanket and tucking myself into Legs and watching a good funny movie with him.

4). Gin - Tanquray to be exact.

5). A good hand cream on these cold days. My favourite is Elariia...made in Italy. A good friend of mine gave some to me and its the best thing for my poor hands. She's such a good girl!

3 of 365

1). One of my favourite flowers are pansies.

2). Second - lilies of the valley

3). Third - Sweet Peas

4). You know winter is almost over when you hear the "here Vickie" bird...That's what it sounds like she is saying! Not sure which bird that is...must find out.

5). My favourite colour is green....green grass, green hay, green leaves, green, green, green.

Christmas Party

Sooooo, tonight is our work Christmas Party. This year it is being catered....if its being catered why do I still have to set tables, wash dishes,....wait a minute....I'M CATERING!!

WTH?! This clip I found is dated 1924...some things NEVER change!

This year...was supposed to be easier on the boss and myself...but so far I have yet to see the upside.

Supper is at 7...I have to be here at 6.

I will eventually have the dishes of 30 people later on this evening.....I think I will put my hours down.

There is no point in dressing for the occasion as I will be in the green room later up to my elbow in suds. There is no point in dressing up because I will also be pouring the wine and opening the beer cans. There is no point in dressing up at all. In fact I really don't even want to go.

I remember blogging about this last year and it turned out to be quite fun.

Two out of the three people I hate will be there and am already stressing about it. What stresses me even more is that Legs is coming (he didn't last year) and I know that if either of those two people step out of line with me, he will be on them like white on rice!

But this is the Year of Me! I will be demanding more staff help in the green room when I have to go to do dishes....and that's a fact!

2 of 365

1). See smiling faces and knowing who they are when you're uptown

2). Thankful I can talk to my mommy on the phone and not to her up in the heavens.

3). Listening to Z99 in Regina on cyber space.....ahh its like being at home!

4). Having breakfast with Legs

5). Still having flashbacks from the 80's while trying to put my wardrobe together in the mornings ...makes me smile!

Pinkie Pact

Yes Wilma my friend it is time...

I too have pleased far too many people, leaving myself wondering...just how did that happen.

2009 is the year for me.

I would like things to happen for me. I recognize that I am a people pleaser and sometimes, I just don't feel like it. Sometimes, I would like to be the one to tell the other..."do it yourself", or "what? Are your legs broken?"

I am tired of always trying to accomodate. Difuse the situation by trying to compromise. Or being bloody polite all the time, trying to spare the other persons feelings, when I know they wouldn't for me.

Yes, this year is the Year of Me.

Get that damn house built.

Get out of this damn apartment.

Get my dog back.

Get my horses and llama moved.

Get my chicken house built!

Get your shit together!

I am tired of being depressed or my living situation...ok so I least have a roof over my head, but damn it....I don't want this anymore.

I want to be happy. Enough depression.

I want to be guilt free.

I want.....to be me.

I am a happy person.

I am easy to please.

OOOOHHHHKAY

Well, First of all...

Happy New Year to all of my Bloggie friends!

I hope Santa was good to you all.

Once I hit the farm I didn't get a chance to get on the computer.

Where to begin...

December 20th, 21st, and 22nd...
Well those days I worked at the hell job. It was really, really busy and I was rushed off my feet. Now that I have desk job, then switching to running my ass off, well, I earned every penny those few days...the commission check should be a healthy one!

December 23rd...
I ran around getting all the odds and ends I needed to prepare for Christmas. I was uptown for most of the day, not necessarily shopping but standing in lines seemed to take forever. I did manage to get the little apartment shovelled out and prepped for all the company for the 25th....yes I know it was two days ahead, but I needed it.

December 24th...
Christmas Eve day....I went out to the farm to see Grace and Wilmer, give them their presents and then went out to see my four-legged kids. They were all happy eating hay and pooping.

Christmas Eve itself was alittle overwhelming. Our family celebrates Christmas Eve.
We all gather at the cousins place, have a gigantic supper, open presents, go to church, come back in time to see Santa and his deer leave in the front window while Uncle Danny is out on the back porch brining in the gifts left for us. Its fun to see the little kids (and the big ones) watch out the front window at an imaginary friend. We then open up the Santa gifts and then proceed to play board games til after midnight....
I however, was at home in self pity, bawling cuz I wasn't at home....it was pathetic! I tried to call but missed them...off to church they were...

December 25th...
I food prepped for the guests that were to be coming. It was killing me that I still hadn't opened a present. I had to wait for Legs and he wasn't coming in til 5.

Food was prepped, Legs came in at 5, we opened presents...I did quite well! 6 came, 6:30 came and out of the 8 people I invited and had confirmations on only 2 showed up. I had food everywhere! I was not impressed and needless to say those who did not show now know just what my opinion was being stood up!

Our company was great...they staying until 1am and home they went and I crashed...

December 26th...
Legs and I were invited to his sisters for supper. Her attendence was great! I drank too much and ate lots. She got a margarita maker for Christmas, yup...they tasted yummy!

December 27th till yesterday I went home to the Malo Rancho place with Legs.
Our New Year was rung in with my school friends.

We had supper gatherings with close friends and family.

Legs enjoyed himself as did I.
We hauled bales for mommy and I was able to spend time with my doggie.

I am however, glad to be back at work, glad to be back at home and all is calm.
