It's Friday Night and I Just, Just, Just, Just, JUUUUST ... GOT PAID! (money money money money)

It's here! AGAIN! So soon, my love? The weekend is here again and I'm practically convulsing. I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow after last night's drama. (*Read: 3 masked gunmen bursting into our drug dealing neighbour's apartment, dragging him outside and kidnapping him - followed by 5 cops - only one of which was fun* And no, I'm not kidding.)

My plans for the weekend include making a care package (very overdue!) for my sister, burning a couple c.d's and spending some great time with God and other loved ones. I stayed at Shayne's last night to avoid the terror of sleeping in our building - he woke me up at 4:30am saying "The phone's ringing …" It wasn't - he was dreaming. Needless to say, I could use a good night's rest.

Aside from that, I'll try to get my ass to the gym! Anyone else have any cool plans?

I've Got A Friend Who Loves Me ...

A weekend of new faces! On Friday night I had a "girls night" with the beautiful and talented Meredith and Lisa. I love those girls. Anyways, we went to dinner and then to see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (so so so good). I was standing in line just about to buy my tickets when I heard my man's hilarious laughter from the back of the line. I turned to see him, Damian (familiar face from Ireland) and some other boys that I had never met. Eventually I got to meet them and they were ALL from Ireland and were ALL lovely. Seriously. Shayne has excellent taste in friends. (So do I, by the way - my girls are second to none!).

THEN, Saturday night was mine (and Shayne's!) friend Jordan's birthday. So we went to a little dinner party at Brewsters. I finally got to meet Aaron - one of Shayne's good friends who I've been excited to meet for month. He too was lovely and friendly and made me feel very comfortable.

So I must say, nothin'-but-net on the meeting Shayne's friends thing.

Aside from that, the only exciting news is this: I have no plans. This whole week AND weekend until Holiday Monday, I have made absolutely no plans. This is beautiful. This is rare. This is not going to last long. But I shall enjoy it while it lasts -- nights at home with Prison Break, Scrubs, 3 channels and a roommate who rocks my world?

Here I come.

Walk Like An Egyptian

The weekend was all too short and ill-spent. Don't get me wrong, I saw great friends and had a lovely time but spent far too much money and have nothing to show for it.

Aside from clean laundry. I have clean laundry.

My sister called yesterday and I felt a little grieved by the reminder that she's so far away. Most of the time I'm fine with her being gone but every once in a while I pine for her. I hope she's happy-ish.

Kiki got a new job and started it today! I'm really excited for her to be done at Sangsters - she deserves a nice boss who treats her well. One downfall : What the hell kind of cool stuff can she score me from Old Fashioned Foods?! What do they even have?! Sounds like a lot of nuts and vitamins to me.

Tonight we're having a BBQ for Shealagh's birthday! She turned 21 last week but was working all weekend so we couldn't celebrate. We're having the BBQ in Wascana Park which I've only done once so I'm stoked to experience it again. The guest of honour will be : Death By Chocolate. Dozens of canker sores and thousands of calories - HERE I COME!

I've concluded that "horse's-ass" is a tragically under-used insult.

Shiny Pink Fingerprints

I was putting eye makeup on this morning using my finger and it looked like my finger was sparkly and pink. I kinda wish it was.

I'm lucky that I have so much love in my life that I find it hard to juggle my loved ones. A lot of people find it hard to fill their days - I find it hard to empty mine. It's a mixed blessing. But more blessing than curse.

Shayne shaved off all his facial hair just to show me how it would look - I hate it. I can't kiss him cause he looks 5.

I love bed so much that sometimes I think a coma would be a dream come true. But the problem is, I wouldn't be in the mental state to appreciate all the time I was getting to spend asleep. That - and bedsores.

When I drive and I'm expecting a call, I leave my phone on vibrate and rest it against my chin until it vibrates. I have no idea why.

The people in my office are bitter and against marriage - I still want to get married. Just not to them.

I've learned that knowing Shayne will make an excellent father far outweighs his knowledge of current events. Which, just between us, is a damn good thing.

My haircut only cost me $13 but it's two different lengths. I can't decide if the price makes up for the fact that the left side is longer than the right.

It Holds Me Together

My hands are sticky. May I share why? I put glue on them. May I share why? Because I like it.

That's why.

Ever since I was little I've LOVED pouring Elmer's Glue all over my hands, waiting for it to dry and then peeling it off. This has progressed and continued into my professional life. I now smear envelope sealer on my finger tips and palms and peel it off. The best part? It takes forever to dry. In a word? Bliss.

Does anyone else do this?
