Thursday Means only One thing well actually 2 but only one major one!

That's right its Thursday, not only is it the day before Friday, its CTV night! Oh yeah, Greys Anatomy and CSI. I'm more into Greys just because that show rocks and it has mic dreamy. I'm so nutty about it I joined a silly facebook group. Oh yeah I'm nuts!

Plus in the next hour or so my gas is suppose to get turned back on. Yippy! Stupid heads upstairs. I think they forget I am down here in my suite all content and happy, cause last night well actually all day they were beefen about the girl downstairs and how they are paying for her hydro, bla bla bla. Actual I pay a portion of the hydro but I guess its not very much in their minds, oh well, there is 3 of them upstairs and one of me downstairs, who do you think uses more hydro. Oh well, hopefully after today it will be all done and we can just move on to better things like the tv at 8pm. So anyways I am off to make a nice warm pot of tea and be bored some more. Till next time!

On going Saga

My on going saga of no heat continues onto its sixth day. I have spoken with he guys up stairs and have listened intently to their multiple excuses and my landlords have gotten back to me. Apparently the guys girlfriend was going to try and put the bill in her name but because she doesn't live here and has no proof of address they wont allow her to pay the bill. She, the girlfriend seems to think that we can continue like this that its not really a problem. I think she was dropped on her head because no hot water is defiantly a problem not to mention no heat. But the good news on all of this is the landlords have given the guys till Friday to pay what needs to get paid on the bill or else they are gone. Now, heat and hot water are important to me, but them moving..hmmmmm....makes me wonder. Either way I am trying to contain my inner beast and remain a calm women but now I have bronchitis and am home all week,so my growl is turning drastically into a roar.

That's my update. Off to watch a movie in hopes to settle my inner beast. Till another day,

goodnight.

Bad turned good

So I wake up yesterday morning to get ready for work, turn on the shower to let the water warm, gather my stuff, check the water 5 min later and its still cold. A little confused I checked the sink taps in both the bathroom and the kitchen to find that they too are cold. Now frustrated cause all I wanted was a nice warm shower before heading off to work I phone my ever so handy mom and whine to her that I have no hot water and ask for her wise wisdom on what to do. So next thing I am down on my tummy attempting to see if there is a little glowing pilot light which of course there is not. I ask the ever wise mommy what to do next and she says to read the tiny little writing on the side to see how to turn it back on. I saw gas, and decided right there that I wouldn't proceed as I valued my life. By this time I am running late for work so I put on some make up and threw my hair in a hat and headed out the door. On the way to work I phoned my landlords and they say " oh yeah we will come check it out and get it figured out for you." Good news, yes it was. That was till I got home to find that I still didn't have any hot water. Frustration at this point is no longer in my vocabulary. As I was trying to figure out my next step there was a knock on my door. I open it up to find one of the men from upstairs standing there. He tells me that the landlords were by and that there is a bit of a problem. Im thinking no kidding we have no hot water, well he continues to tell me that the gas has been cut off since the bill was too high, my inner self is now close to exploding but I continue to smile and intently listen as he tells me that they were a bit behind and the gas wont get turned on until the amount is payed in full. Did I mention that the amount was $999.99, oh yeah. See, I pay my portion with my rent so the rest is their responsibility so in all reality I shouldn't be without hot water. As he left my inner self exploded in a child like tantrum as I walked back into my house.

I phoned Dana to tell him my bad news and see if I can invade his bathroom. He said yes of course and talked me into going with some friends for some well deserved down time in front of fire. So Lexi went to Grandma and Grandpas and we headed off to Stave Lake where we met our friends with their quad. A few drinks and an awesome ride on the quad and I was happy once again. It was nice to get out and just forget about life. And now all I want is a quad. I 'd never been on one before and for my first one which was last years Yamaha, it was awesome. I think we got to just over 100miles! Yup that sold me. But my friend is getting one as well so next time we will have two to bum around in and we wont have to share. Till next time!

Tale of the ice cream cone

Yeah I know its been a bit since I posted anything. Time is tight right now and the weather minus today has been wonderful. On one of those past glorious nights Dana, Lexi and myself went for a stole along the dyke and then stopped at DQ for a treat. Sunny days, warms nights, just calls out ICE CREAM. Lex has never eaten her ice cream from a cone before and it was so cute. Once she figured out that you lick it not eat it and that the sticky running down her hand wasn't so bad, well it was on. She devoured the cone and like all kids did the follow the stream of melted ice cream around the hand and lost her cone but she definitely is hooked now on the cone. Heres some pictures of her sticky glory.

Long awaited Birthday pictures

So I know its been almost a month since Lexi's 2nd birthday party but at least Im posting them now. Her party went surprisingly well. We did a princess theme party with all the famous Disney princess. Since most of the kids were under 3 we didnt do any crafts but they managed to entertain themselves rather well. There was 6 kids in total including Lex ranging from 8 months to 6yrs. Everyone got along really well and Lex loved her presents. This little girl got spoiled. The hit gift was this portable ball room. It folds up really small and has 75 balls in it. ( Aunty Jodie you rock). This was my first kid party indoors and at first I must admit I was a bit scared. The thought of 6 little people running around like loose monkeys throughout my small basement suite sent a few chills down my spine. But the parents were all very helpful and the kids kept the food in the kitchen. Thats right. At clean up time there wasnt any juice found on my couch or cake smashed into the floorboards. I was flabbergasted! So needless to say I got all worried for nothing. So here are a few pictures of the fun.

HELP! Please.

Hi all. I have a huge question to all my lady bloggers and male ones too if you have anything to add please do. A friend of mine just begged me to help her well more like organize her sisters bridal shower. I have never done one of these before. Baby showers, birthdays I have done and succeeded in but this is out of my league. I have already watched the Wedding planner for research but no help there great for planning on stealing the groom but that's about it. Anyways suggestion on games, prizes and fun food to serve would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for all the input.
