I HATE MY CELL PHONE!!!!!!!!!

I hate my cell phone. It has NEVER worked right. I have only had it a little over a year and the thing has never worked the way it should. It turns itself off for no apparent reason, it drops calls again for no apparent reason and it makes me want to throw the stupid thing out into traffic. I am one of these people who NEEDS their cell phone. I really don't know how I am going to make it another 20 months in this contract with a cell phone that doesn't work. I have taken it down to the Rogers Kiosk in the mall and the agent tells me there isn't anything wrong with it. Okay so let me see if I get it...I have a cell phone and it isn't supposed to work...OH LOVE A DUCK I know that can't be right!!! To top it all off, tonight it took a little hissy fit, it some how lost ALL my contacts and all my txt msgs. Sooo for all of you out there I am not ignoring you...I simply have the worst piece of technology known to man/womankind. Please txt me or call or send me your contact info again...I swear it isn't my fault :(

The Clown Cake

Victoria's school is having a Bazzar and bake sale on Thrusday and once again I got talked into doing some hevy duty baking. I made lots of cookies and cupcakes and a cake for the cake walk. Victoria decided I couldn't make a normal cake, I had to do something "different". She decided I should make a clown cake.


Here is how it turned out;






At least it kind of looks like a clown Lol!

What I lack in grace, coordination and elegance.....

.......I make up for in entertainment value. That's right folks with all the grace and elegance of a baby giraffe learning to walk I managed to once again land squarely on my derriere in the middle of the hall.
I had taken a couple Benelyn cold and flu caplets. They made me a little foggy. I didn't think I was that bad but apparently I was. I was walking down the hall outside my office and tripped over the only object in the hall...the blue chair. I looked right at it....I knew it was there yet I kept talking to MJ and next thing you know I go arse over tea kettle and land in the middle of the hall. I am sure a slow motion instant replay would have been priceless. MJ, being a true friend, waited until she found out I was okay to start laughing at me. I had to laugh too...it was either that or cry LOL.

Sick

I came on with the first part of a cold last night. This morning I thought I was going to have to go to the ER. I still don't feel great and I can hardly swallow. I have to leave for work in a little over an hour and it really isn't looking like a "fun" time. I am working with a great crew tonight so that really is keeping me from calling in sick. Wish me luck....


Oh and Happy Birthday Dan!!!!

I'm still alive

I know it has been almost a week....I will try to update you all with what is going on.
Last week of work was horrid...honestly anything that could have gone wrong more than likely did. It was worth it though to know I had 3 days off and having those 3 days land on apple blossom.
I took Victoria to the park in Kentville to see the fireworks...they weren't bad but honestly I am not sure the 10 minutes of fireworks was worth being stuck in traffic for 30 minutes. Saturday was busy. Victoria was in the children's parade with her ballet class. We met her dad and I got to spend most of the morning with him...Oh good one on one time with my ex...oh well....anyways Victoria had a wonderful time however I froze. I was cold and it was cloudy and looked like rain. It held off thank goodness. I ran into my friend Shannon and we decided we were going to go out that night. By the time Victoria and I got through traffic and got home it was time to head back for the grand street parade. The rain held off...until the parade actually started! Then it poured. Victoria had an umbrella so she was content to stay for quite a while. I got soaked to the skin. I was cold, wet and cranky. When I finally convinced her that she was bored and wanted to go home other people had gotten the same idea. I was forced to wait while some redneck figured out how to back his pickup truck out of the side road without putting the ancient trailer he was haling in the ditch or into a telephone pole. By the time I got home I was feeling ill I was so cold. I got into a nice hot shower and started to feel a lot better.
To kill time until going out with my firends, I opened my email to find a lovely letter from my ex all about his five year plan, his move, kids and how wonderful his significant other was. Honestly what a wanker! Did I want my nose rubbed in it?...no not really...will I survive? sure....will I forget? NOT ON YOUR LIFE! Will I forgive? Doubtful and defiantly will not forgive the insults on my daughter EVER! So what was my solution...do nothing. Yup that's right folks. I took the high road. I didn't write back. I haven't talked, sent a message on msn, text or called the aforementioned jerk. I hit delete....and that was the end of that.

Victoria was in bed early. I showered again and got all fixed up and when Shannon called I headed over to her friend Tammy's for a couple drinks before we went out on the town. Now seeing how it was raining cats and dogs we figured it would be no problem to get into KAPS. Wow were we wrong. Shannon, and the other people I went with stood in the rain for over an hour. Again I was soaked to the skin and cranky. I was stuck in line between some guy who kept grabbing my butt and some guy standing in the rain with his cell phone telling me I was crazy to be standing in the rain. HELLO CAPTIN OBVIOUS....you are standing in the rain too....but not in the line...so you are just getting wet and not getting into the club...yeah that's smart...dummy. It was worth it to get in, dance and drink. We had a ball and ended up staying past last call even though we didn't plan on staying that late.

Sunday was ballet day...rehearsals for both of us all day...ugh. Three words sum this day up....long, tiring and frustrating. I was glad to see Sunday done...however by about suppertime the nervousness set in. I realized that in a little over 12 hours I was having my performance appraisal at work. I felt sick most of the night and couldn't sleep. The appraisal wasn't as bad as I thought. I feel I could have done better but I always feel that way.I ended up having today off since my schedule got messed around...not sure why...not sure I really want to know why. I went to the city and did some retail therapy. I got Victoria a cute pair of shoes...I will post a picture once I find my camera (it really was a long weekend lol).Today was the last day for ballet....not sure either Victoria or myself will do any ballet this summer...may take a few months off.

Anyways that should bring you all up to date....Alot has happened...*Sigh...back to work tomorrow.
