Lets talk about it...

Lets talk about it.

I had to do some shopping today. Shapewear. Yeah. That kind of shopping. Very intimidating.

See, I have been invited to attend a special ceremony. Ceremony that calls for a dress and heals. Fun, I know. And I really want to look my best for that event, from all angles. Well, as many as possible anyway!

So I headed to a specialty store and browsed around. After only a couple of minutes, that sweet older lady came to my rescue and told me she knew exactly what I needed. After various measurements were taken, I was shipped to the dressing room.

How in hell are we supposed to put those darn things on ? Really !!! After what seemed like 15 minutes, I let out a huge grunt in despair. That's when the nice lady came asking if I was alright... After another 15 minutes, I was out of the dressing room and ready to make my first "lady" purchase. Yep; I only tried one on. I'm not that keen on self humiliation.

While wrapping my purchase, the sales lady proceeded to explain the basic cares of my new garment and then, with the quirkiest smile ever, said: "Honey, if you ever hope to marry some day, I would never, under any circumstances, put on or remove that garment in front of any decent man. Ever. Understood ? 'Cause I personally think that is the reason why so many of you girls are single these days. "

Duly noted.

Booo me if you wish...

I know, I know. Boo me if you wish; I took a blog hiatus. Many, many things are happening in my life. Most of them I can't talk about over here. Sorry...



I am definitely back on blog land and intend to do a posting marathon: yep, you'll be stuck with 1 posting a day for a while. And if I do succeed, I promised myself a really good reward. And I am not telling what yet...



So...



At the request of some people in my life, it have decided to set the records straight on my 100 things about me....



Ahem...



2. I still have a dirty mind.

3. I will, sometimes, walk "hand-in-hand" with a special someone.

4. As of lately, I have had the urge to make-out in public. I apologize to anyone who had, or will have to see that.

10. I am not the most patient person.

22. I have been to a hair salon, twice, in the last few months.

28. I have slept a record breaking of 8.5 hours straight a couple of times in the last month.

49. My favorite colour is apparently red and can be found profusely in my apartment.

53. I still can't stand Jack Daniel. But the memories it brings still makes me smile.

79. I am still prone to panic attacks while a passenger. But instead of screaming, I'll just grab the thingy inside the door and hold it as tightly as possible. I will, however, stop breathing for a while.




Anything else I should correct ?

What I didn't blog about...

The last few weeks where quite hectic. Crazy hectic.



Here's what I didn't talk about:



- Moved my mom, again. She's had an other small stroke and living in an apartment, even a supervised one, was getting too difficult for her. She still has the same address but she is now living in the studio area, area she will remain in until, well, I won't say it. That would make it too real. It's been quite weird to see her mingle with her new friends. Most people living in that part of the residence are 80 year old and older. But she seems to belong to that group. She looks at peace now. Those are people who are going through the exact same thing as she is. She can relate to their daily struggles. I guess I'm the one who need to adapt now...

- Made my mom destroy a partly knitted sweater. That sweater was to be my birthday gift 18 years ago. She never got around to finish it but was hanging to it like her dear life. But knitting is not an option anymore and instead of just throwing it away, we had a small destruction party. She laughed and giggled the whole time...

- Managed, with the help of my fantastic cousin, to bring a Queen size mattress into my apartment. A huge challenge since the staircases are very, very narrow. So narrow that regular size fridge or oven would not fit. There was a lot of bending, for us and the mattress. Bending in ways I didn't think were possible. Don't ask. But that mattress is the most comfiest thing ever. It was worth every bruises and scratches. But I'll definitely hire movers to get it out of here. I'm not that crazy!

- Spent the most amazing time with a special someone. Let's call him Bob. He and I used to go out over 10 years ago. Things ended between us because I felt lost and overwhelmed. And I guess I wasn't mature enough to handle the relationship. And we lost touch. But by some weird turns of events, we recently started to exchange emails and chats every nights. We're talking about hours on ends of chatting over the Internet. So we decided to have fun for the summer. See what happen. There'll be a lot of travelling back and forth involved in order for us to see each other, though. I don't know how to define this relationship other than I am having a lot of fun and am loving every minute of it. I missed him.

There. I said it.

Hello, My name is JATP and I missed Bob.
