This evening...

Well, I am heading in to work today. Kalan Porter is here tonight. I am anticipating a gong show with regards to the girls that will be here drooling over the boy. There were a couple of girls that came to the box office yesterday morning and I just happened to be there while Deels was giving them their tickets. They were giddy and silly. It was ridiculous considering the girls were in their early twenties. Of all the people that I have met the only one that I freaked over was Wolfgang Puck. And I freaked out after he chatted with us. I almost spilled my choclatini!!

Another woman facebooked me asking how ticket sales were for Kalan Porter and she wondered if I needed help pumping up advertising for him. I thought it was rather strange because her name was nowhere on the contracts so I facebooked her back asking who she was and what did she have to do with the show. Apparently she is on Kalan's Street team??? Whatever that is? I told her things were fine everything had its place. This woman is in her mid- 40's...... I thought it was creepy!

So, with that under my belt, I can only imagine what is in store for tonight. The theatre is very intimate and the seating is wonderful....this makes me nervous!

If only I were born rich instead of good looking!!

about me...

Here are a few things about me....

Winos...

Last week I was ranting to a friend of mine, Kenny, who is attending university in Toon Town, that I never go out any more.

The phone rang last night, I answered and it was Kenny, she wanted to know what I was up to and I told her. She said she and her sister were coming to get me to go to Boston Pizza for a drink and hot wings. Legs was on the computer telling me to go. So, I went.

Kenny and Spenny picked me up, oh, incidently Spenny lives above me and I still never see her!

I had about 4 martinis and was well on my way. I had a really good time and am looking forward to seeing those two again. We covered alot of ground in those few hours. Those girls are like family to me and I really appreciate talking with them. In fact I love the whole family. They are good people.

Next weekend is the Gala which I am president of. Spenny offered to do my hair. Tonight is a trial run. I better buy some wine to help inspire her!

Hot seat again...

I don't know how, I don't know when, I don't know why, I only know that once again I am in the hot seat.

I used to work at a western wear store here in the Border City. I then got the full time job where I am now and was asked by the screw loose manager of the western wear store to resign and if they needed help in the new year, they would let me know. WELL, I got a call last Friday at 2pm to see if I could bail them out for 5pm that afternoon/evening shift. I said sure I would. Then I was asked to work the next day as well. Luckily I had no performances to work so I said I would. WELL....

Since I worked there last week, the assistant manager is now being hauled in by the district manager and the manager for hiring me back. (I really think I intimidate the both of them, that is why they have such a hard-on about me coming in to work.) Now let me just say that the district manager, (who is all of 24) used to work for the manager as a grunt. The grunt got promoted to district manager and is now good friends with the manager. Everybody still with me????


It is so silly. Oh, and did I mention that the district manager is a good friend of my better half, Legs!

Talk about a gong show.

Well, I guess I will wait to see if I still have a job at the western wear store and I am curious to know if the assistant manager will put up with the bullshit or quit. The nice thing about the Border City is that jobs here are a dime a dozen. The city is getting so big with businesses that there are not enough people to fill positions. Hell, Home Depot just opened and they are crying for workers!

Anyone out there in cyberspace that is looking for a job, come to the Border City, you will have no problem getting one!

Comfort Foods

My heart for some reason is heavy today. I don't know why but it is. I think I may have to eat comfort foods tonight for supper and beyond.

Ahhhh, comfort foods. To me a comfort food is something that I ate when I was a kid. Something that grama would cook. Mom wasn't a great cook but she is getting better in her old age. (Sorry mom!)

Comfort foods like fried potatoes, cream corn and sausage. Chocolate cake with chocolate mint icing. Macaroni with tomato soup and boiled garlic sausage. No, grama was a good cook really!! You are probably reading this and thinking...YUK!

Comfort food was also farm chicken roasted, with stuffing and sour cream gravy over mashed potatoes and Russian Jello. I really have so many that I am not sure what to cook tonight. I may have to watch a bawly movie tonight too. Just to really put a damper on things.

I am not a big fan of days like this.......

Exercising...

I went out to the farm this weekend. I miss the farm so much. I miss the animals, the peace and quiet AND exercise!!! I mean for instance, this weight bet that I am in with Wilma and Bruno, well, I have to exercise. I HATE going to the gym or to exercise!! Period!! To me, it is a great waste of time. You walk on the tread and go nowhere! You pump iron and for what? People look at each other, there eyes darting left and right. There is etiquette and protocol. Whatever!!

Now, if you are at the farm, you are exercising and don't even know it. If you walk from the house to the barn which is several hundred feet from each other, you are exercising. If you pick up a 5 gallon pail of chop, water, or oats and walk with it from the grain bin to the feeders, you are exercising and lifting weights! PLUS you have a ton of clothing on which is also hard to maneuver in. You are bending under wire. You are climbing to get over the gate! Pitching hay over the fence. Kicking straw around for the cows to lay in. Who needs kick boxing class!! I lost 2 pounds over the weekend and am toning up. It's great.

So who says the gym is the place to be! You wanna lose weight? Go to the closest farm or ranch. I don't know of one farmer or rancher that would turn down farm help! They may be crazy but they ain't stupid!!

Course, I may be a little biased being a farm girl and all!!

Not sure

I just received a call from Legs this morning. He is on his way to see his cousin in Red Deer. He did tell me that he was going on a tear tonight with his friends, but will be leaving in decent time tomorrow for the Border City.

When he tells me he is going on a tear it bothers me somewhat. It bothers me because he CAN go on a tear. I want to and can't because living in the Border City, I don't know that many people and the ones I do know are...very attached to a significant other. I am too, but every once in awhile, I want to go out with just the girls. Trouble is, is that I have no girls to go out with! The girls that I am friends with have a family, or are in a "new" relationship and can't tear themselves away from their partner, or are in their early twenties and I when I go out with them, I feel like grama! They don't treat me like that of course, but that is how I feel.

Being in the mid to late thirties, divorced and no kids, it is hard to find someone to go "hang" with or to go play pool to "bullshit" with. I WANNA DO SOMETHING!!!

I hate living in the city for starters and on a Friday nite when I am "single" while my old man is away, well, I don't want to stay home sitting on the couch pretending I am "into" watching Medium or Ghost Whisperer!

Then when Legs comes home and tells me what fun he had with his friends, I get pissed off because I sat on the couch all friggin nite!

Is that wrong of me to feel that way. I don't feel 36. I feel 27/28!

I feel very alone sometimes.
