Should I or shouldn't I

I've been thinking about getting a personal stylist for a while now cause I'm thinking that I'd like to freshen up my look a bit.

Now I do't think that iI'm completely heinous in the fashion department but I could use some help maybe coming up with a couple great foundation pieces which I could mix and match into some fabulous outfits.

so now i ask myself will the juice be worth the squeeze?

Am I not worthy....


I am getting really anxious and nervous and can barely contain my excitement. I am a MASSIVE J.R. Ward fan and her latest book LOVER MINE. I was online just now and saw that my local bookstore has 36 of them in store.

It's killing me cause I know that they are in the back stockroom and I'm just a few steps away from the book that I've been waiting anxiously to read.

I NEED THIS BOOK.

Dear Virgin Scribe... I can't wait for 12 days to get this book. You gotta hook me up today or tomorrow, I'll be in your debt forever.

I was scouring the 'net today looking for a spoiler, any spoiler to whet my appetite when I found a review by someone who got an advance copy and inhaled it (the way Butch inhales the Lessers)! They likened it to Acheron's book and I inhaled that several times over.

I WANT AN ADVANCE COPY. I'll review it and blog about it dammit.

Help me please, don't leave me out in the Fade...

With friends like these...


You can really tell who your friends are when you're down and out. For the last couple of months I've been searching for a job and my lady friends have really stepped up and shown me their love. They are such an eclectic group of ladies but I love them for all of the ways that they contribute to my life so in no particular order

Thanks for being my friend Mags - You're such a good listener as you've patiently listened to me whining about all of the pretty things that I suddenly want to buy. It is fabulous that you've finally understood that the world revolves around me and only me!  You really need to do something about your NASCAR addiction, not everyone loves Tony Stewart. By the way, the change is coming so get ready...


Thanks Shoppers (that's what I'll call you on the blog) - I've known you since I was a young and dewy twentysomething some two or three years ago. You make me howl with your stories about the Fruitarian & weekend road trips. It's fabulous that you share my love of Twilight, the Vampire Diaries and the importance of a good pension - I knew I liked you for a reason. I know that we're going to be friends until we're old and wrinkled :) Heck if the Fruitarian can have a well paying job, I know I can get one too! Love the support! BTW - How do you eat chocolate croissants and stay so slim...



Bless you Scribe - I swear woman you must have X-ray eyes or mood sensing radar 'cause whenever I seem to be really low, the phone rings and it's you. I really look forward to our coffee and convo - sometimes I think that you must be an earthly manifestation of one of my spirit guides. But then I look at those freakishly short arms and legs that I love so much and think...nah my guide's gotta be taller. No offence but...

Dreaming about you Doris.. - Well it's 40 below and I don't give a cluck....I will forever have Brewsters and Motherclucker burned in my memory. Because of you and ONLY you, I broke my hard and fast karoke rule (never sing in public) and laughed so much that night that it carried me through the entire weekend. Now if only I was coming to the DR with ya, honey. Have a Gran Ventana special for me...


Bella - My personal Heroine - Bella Swan's got nuttin on you chica! I wanna be just like you when I grow up. You are the most fearless woman that I know and always there with a helping hand and a ego boost when needed. How the heck did you learn so many languages... I can barely remember what I had for dinner last week. 


Jacques - My oldest and dearest friend who knows me almost better than I know myself and although we don't live in the same city, you've always got my back and I have yours. I'm really hoping that sometime before I die we will both end up living in the same city or at least the same time zone. This year I hope all of your dreams come true.  


If it wasn't for these ladies I would've gone 'round the bend a long time ago. Then again maybe I've finally gone around the bend to meet them too.

I have many things to be grateful for

Rainy days - now I don't have to wet my lawn - The neighbours were starting to give me the evil eye cause they were all out in their gardens last weekend and I was actually OUT enjoying the weather. To my neighbour who was out mowing his lawn on Sunday, you might wanna consider taking your Xmas garland down...It's April..I guess on the plus side, only 8 more months to Xmas.

A supportive,loving mate - All of my blog readers (all 2 of you) know by now I'm entering month 5 of looking for work and I'm on such a roller coaster of emotions, I'm sure Mr. C doesn't know who he's going to come home to meet... happy bubbly me or dark and twisty Ms. C. I'm looking for a fairly senior position and according to the experts, it takes about a month for every 20K you're looking for. I wonder if I should be factoring that into my salary negotiations...hmmm

New friends - GH and CLF have kept me company during some of the long days and are a constant source of humour for me. Now that CLF has found a job - yay for her! GH and I will continue with the time honoured Friday afternoon drink. 

Travel plans - An upcoming trip to China for a good friend's wedding and a weekend in New York with Shoppers Drug Mart - as soon as I find a job - NY that is, China is on job or not :)

A snoring, farting, loving dog - Along with his horrible bowl manners - excessive slurping when drinking, crunching with his mouth open and burping in your face he seems to be developing a flatulence problem as he gets older. On a good day you hope it's a SD - Silent and Deadly one but sometimes it's LFF - Loud and Fragrance Free, so loud someone asked me once if I was farting while on the phone and I had to say it's my dog, but I have a feeling they really didn't believe me, thank god it wasn't a prospective employer...
