Who I am...

Totally following the trend here:




I am...

- Easily amused by very childish things

- Addicted to tattoos, peppermint latte triple shot espresso and anything with chocolate

- Very lazy when it comes to do the dishes



I want...



- A whole lot more money

- To take a year off and travel around the world

- To finally accept that I am overweight and do something about it

- Boobs without any scars



I have...



- Amazing friends

- A somewhat normal family

- The ability to learn anything very quickly

- A quirky sense of humour



I hate...



- Violence, racism, judgemental people, smoochy couples, lineups and green peas

- That I am so critical of myself

- Being touched by strangers



I fear...



- Of never meeting "The One"

- Of meeting the wrong one over and over again

- Of never creating my own family



I search...



- For the perfect black dress

- The "happily ever after" relationship

- For the perfect drink



I wonder...



- If I'll ever be truly happy

- Why my plants always seem to commit group suicide

- If my downstairs neighbour can hear the flashlight ;)



I never...



- Leave the house without nail polish on my toes

- Walk on street grates

- Go to the bathroom without peeking behind the shower curtain first



I rarely...

- On time

- The most politically correct person



I lose...



- Track of time when surfing the web

- My bank card at least once a month

- Myself, when trying to help others



I'm confused...



- About who really is my boss

- About the parking signs on my street

- About religion



I miss...

- My sisters

- Nico ;)



I need...



- A laptop with a working keyboard

- A few weeks off

- Sleep



I should...



- Be nicer to my noisy neighbors

- Be more patient when driving

- Be sleeping instead of doing this post...

- Be less predictable

Happy Holidays !!

Ya Right...

I live on the corner of a huge construction site. As we passed in front of the construction area today, some workers where closing off the site for the holidays. Not wanting to move some gigantic propane tanks, they decided to tie them up on the fence with a thin metal thread. As we passed, the foreman was saying: "Naa, nobody gonna try stealing those. And beside, they're tied up !!"



That reminded me of our move to the new office building; our front door still hadn't been installed and as the security guard passed by, he said: "Just put tape accross the door. That way, people will know not to come in!!"



I sleep better knowing such intelligent people are around...

Vacation...

Moka and I are finally on holiday for the next 2 weeks !!



What do you think is on our mind ?

Killer...

See this pie ? It almost killed me today.



Who the hell puts cinnamon instead of flour UNDER the bottom crust ??

Battle...

I had a fight with my alarm clock this morning. Who do you think won ?

Snow...

We received some snow on Sunday : 40 cm in total. Some city would be shut down for a couple of days. We were advised to drive safely...

I was all smilly on my way to work today and didn't even bother putting my ipod on. Listening to people cursing while trying to find their cars made my day. I'm that weird...

See the bumps here and there ? Yep, those are actual cars...

She's happy now...

I went shopping with my mom today. I know ; sooo news worthy !



She needed a new hat and mittens and we managed to find some sheepskin ones that made her very happy. See that smile ? She had it for the whole day ! It would even grow bigger when we passed in front of mirrors. Must be something in the wool...

Venting...

Let me vent here...




My office has been using the same DOS system since 1981. You read it right : a DOS system.



You are allowed to laught.



That system and I pretty much have a hate-hate relationship. There's all those codes to remember and depending on who created the page, the applications are either in French or in English, with no ways of knowing in advance. So that 30 minutes you just spent looking for the right codes ? Got to start from the beginning again because, well, you didn't pick the right language. And let me guess ; you didn't write those codes down neither, right?



I'm starting to have nightmares about it...

Dreaming...

I was dreaming about an amazing date and suddenly felt something moving beside me. I carefully openned my eyes only to find this :

Yeah. Back to reality.

Making Headlines...

I know; so news worthy...



My local bakery has started making this totally new thing called RAISIN.BREAD.WITH.NO.CINNAMON !!



I am proud to announce that I ate the entire loaf this morning.



Suddenly, eating my favorite breakfast is not as deadly as it use to be...

State of mind...

I have had this magnet on my filling cabinet for quite a while now. Somehow, coworkers seem to think it's the perfect definition of my state of mind after 2 pm...

Because I'm that great...

I went shopping today. I know; pretty uneventfull.



Except that I bought 3 pairs of pants and 2 tops for a grand total of 11.44$.



Now, that's my kind of shopping !

Overworked...

I'm completely swompt by work.



Be back soon...

21 days 'till Christmas ...

We received 40 cm of snow overnight ! It's beautiful outside !!! By 6:30 am I was all dressed up and playing in the snow with Moka !!



Oh ! And thanks J. for the picture...



And when I finally managed to get to work (I know; I shouldn't be able to complain since I am actually walking to work but whatever...) a collegue had bought each of us a Christmas calendar !!! And yes, by 8:30am , I had opened the 3 "available" doors...

Because I'm worth it...

I decided to make myself a real diner tonight. I am usually making something real quick and eating in front the tv but I decided that I deserved better tonight. Don't get me wrong ; I still ate in front of the tv. But I took time to prepare a real meal, followed a recipe, made dessert and opened a nice bottle of wine.







This might become a weekend ritual...

Life ...

I had quite a nice Saturday. My twin was in town for business and we got to spend some time alone, without her kids. Thing we hadn't done in almost 10 years !!

I also had a few drinks with an ex. We hadn't spoken in almost 12 years !!! But that evening made me realise that it is possible to have a fun night out with an ex. Without any awkwardness or any hard fellings. Just 2 old friends having drinks.

I also realized tonight that the convenience store in front of my place sells Haagen-dazs Ice Cream cheaper than the grocery store !!!

Today was a great day !!
