The Not So Long Weekend Is Over


Wow, that went by super fast. Marty and I took Friday afternoon off to go test driving vehicles. We frove the jetta and loved it. So on Saturday he went into the dealership to deal. He did a good job and secured a great arrangement. The new car should arrive on February 28. On saturday night we went out to celebrate Tammy's birthday. Hence the pic. That was a lot of fun but we soon got an "age alert" When Marty had mentioned Joe PePesci Only the other girl that was our age knew who he was. Very funny indeed. They were like 6 years old when My cousin Vinny came out. Kind of makes you think...what else are these poor kids missing out on. On Sunday we had to drag our alcohol induced bodies out of bed and drive to Calgary to drop the kids off at Marty's parents. We arrived about noon, only an hour later than scheduled. not Bad. It sucked that we had to come back the same day though because Marty had to work. I had a nice morning talking with Tanya on the phone and the later Jordana. I didn't get anything done though. Good thing I have another day off this week.

Part of the mayhem I guess


It's after 8pm and I just got home from work. I worked the regular day and then did tours and a supplementary class in death and dying for the nurse and paramedic students. So in a matter of 3 hours 72 students got my grand tour. I think it went fairly well. I did run out of time however just because there is so much that I wanted to go through with these nurses. Oh well the end result is really want I wanted to go for anyways and I think that I opened the lines of communication so that we can work together peacefully in the hospital enviroment. That's about it. Marty made the kids homeamade valentines for the class. I must say that I think he did an awesome job. Sometimes it's amazing what these men can accomplish while the wife is at work! Anyways I am going to bed because i am in a foul mood . I just bought a sweet sound system and one of my friends called it a pussy ass piece of crap. God men can be such losers sometimes.

Anyways Happy Valentines Day all!!!

Got my fix

Wow...that was quite an indulgent day. Started the day off quite sassy. By 9:00 am I already beaked off to one of my bosses and imagined him naked in some demeaning position. Good thing I spent the rest of the morning by myself because I was about ready to give it to anyone who wanted to give me some lip. At lunch I ran home to "relax" Those who know me well know exactly what that means. Only thing is the pb channel has crap on during the lunch hour. I guess it's just a better excercise for my imagination. Then the Grammy's were on tonight. Holy crap did U2 take it all home. I watched them preform two songs bythemselves. I still can't get enough vertigo...and One...well it was nice to watch bono step back while Mary J Blige totally took control. You got to love a man that lets the woman take control once and awhile. Then I watched the band play with some other singers two more times. Can't remeber who they were now, but obviously not so important. I believe U2 took home 6 awards tonight....but I am not too sure...I'm not even too sure how many beer I had during the evening. I guess that some things like that don't matter so much. All I know is that I got my fix tonight. -until next time that is.

Why does doing nothing make you feel like crap?

I took another day off today and did basically nothing. I did a few loads of laundry and tinkered with various computers, but otherwise nothing. I was too lazy and restless to take a nap. So after such a relazing day why do I feel so terrible. Nothing to do but go to bed now. And listen to bono sing please again. Look at the man above this....isn't he hot?!

Getting the ball rolling

Wow this weekend went by so fast! Friday night had movie night with brian and denise. We watched Zathura with the kids. Definately a nice way to spend the evening. I had a little too much beer, no thanks to alexander keith, and wound up with a massive headache by the end of the night. I got up early on saturday to clean the house so that we would have the afternoon to do some open houses. Well we found one that we definately like. You can find the listing here. The problem is that possesion needs to take place by the 15 of Feb. We talked to their agent and there is no way out of that because they will lose the house that they have an offer in if it's not sold by that time. Sucks! There is no way that we can sell or even get our house ready to sell by them. Okay so note number one. I got to quit procrastinating on this stuff or we will never move. Poor marty has so much work to do. At least he's got some time though, since that one will be gone.

low man on the what?!?

So here's the deal. I am work today and was talking to my boss. We are getting a new apprentice because my coworker is taking paternity leave and we need someone to fill in while he's gone. The girl is a student and needs to constant supervision. My work is considering trading me to the other "on call team" so that there will be someone there to supervise her on the weekends. The thing is, we wouldn't need to switch if my other boss would just show up on those weekends that he is on call. So in order to alleviate him comming to work on those weekends they are going to trade me to the other shift since I can work unsupervised. The thing is, I don't want to go to the other side. It screws up all the long weekends that I am supposed to be off this calender year. Anyways I stated that I didn't want to go to the other team. My boss replied that it sucks when you are the low man on the totem pole. Pardon Me?!! I have been there seven years. I have put my career before everything else. That includes my husband who wants to have another baby, I didn't want to because I knew it wouldn't be good for my career. So what's the deal here. I give it 100% commitment and that's what I get back. Sometimes I am just a f*ckin idiot. argh!

About Me

My photo
I started taking pictures of my kids when I started scrapbooking. I really wanted my pages and pictures to look like the sample ones in the scrapbooking magazines. It took a lot of hard work, researching, learning and a few hundred roles of film but I got the results that I wanted. Portraiture quickly became a passionate hobby. Finally, in February 2007 I opened Madchen Studios. The studio has become the perfect outlet to feed my obbesion with perfect photographs.
