Happy New Year!

My Appointment

Went to my Doctor appointment today and found this on the door.....

Apparently my Doctor decided that today was a great day to close the clinic. Now I have to reschedule.

Hours spent lying on my back with my foot propped up: Too many to count

Estimated calories consumed today: gazillions I'm sure

My Boss's face when I told her I still haven't seen the Doctor: Priceless

A picture of Me.... lol

Ahahahahaha.... see the dog in the background? That's me the other night slipping on the ice.

NTS: MUST find something else to do besides Blogging.

Dr. Hottie

So, tomorrow I have an appointment with the family doctor whom I've dubbed Dr. Hottie. He doesn't look anything like McSteamy here but he's hot in his own way. I just thought that since I have an appointment with a hot Doctor then I would post a picture of a hot doctor.

Hopefully tomorrow he'll give me a better idea of what's wrong with my ankle, the doctor at the Emergency room was stretched a bit thin and didn't spend much time telling me restrictions or what not. So I really don't have any idea when I should go back to work or if I could be working now.

Plus I've developed a very sharp pain in my ankle when I put pressure on it which I'm sure is not a good thing.

Grrr.... I hate having things wrong with me.

I'm so into setting fashion trends

So, this is my newest fashion accessory. *sigh* I was at work last night and being such a nice person I volunteered to bring the garbage out. See what I get for being nice? I slipped on the ice and sprained my ankle. Three hours later I wheel myself out of the emergency room and I'm now equipped with the latest in medical fashion. These sorts of things always happen to me, lol.

Merry Christmas.

Hi all (coughannieaough),

Just wanted to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS! Christmas was great this year, lots of family stuff going on. I didn't work at all over the holidays but I'm going back this afternoon. It was nice to have the time off. Spent most of Christmas day at my house and my sisters. We went to her house first at about 6:00am to watch them open their presents, then we came back to my place and opened our presents up here, then we went back to her place at 10:30am where we gave them their presents from us. Being a 'cool' aunt I gave my nephew this:

He was super excited. The rest of the day we spent in a chocolate and turkey induced coma. We played some games watched a movie and generally just relaxed. It was nice.

Boxing day we did some light cleaning and then started to get ready for company. Now, when someone tells you Dinner is at 5:30, what time would you show up? Me? I would be there about anywhere between four thirty and five. *sigh* They never showed up until 6:30. A full hour late. Anyway, it was a disaster, dinner was cold by that point. Oh well, went with the flow and made a joke out of then reheated everything in the microwave. Next year I'm telling them Dinner is at 5:00 and not having it cooked until 6:00. Hopefully they won't be late then.

Today I'm back to work and waiting for New Years. No big plans since I'm working New Years Eve and New Years Day. Just spending it with the family. Anyway, I'm too cheap to go out New Year's Eve.

Merry Christmas everyone. (I hope the picture works, it took me weeks to figure this out)

Grrrrrrrr.......

Failed my Psyc. class.... again. *sigh* This is the second time I've taken this course. The first time I took it was by distance, during the summer. Lets just say I'm not cut out for self-taught learning. I tried it again so that my failing mark would be expunged from my academic record.... no such luck. Oh well, I passed everything else so that's what's most important I guess.

Anyway, off to try and figure out how to post some cool pictures on my blog for Annie to look at, lol.

Friends.

I'm heading off to bed soon, but I wanted to post first about re-newing friendships. I love that sometimes there are just certain people that you mesh so well with, that even after it's been months since you've really talked, you can just pick up right where you left off before life got in the way.

Life often gets in the way of things. You've got school, family, kids (not mine), work and so on that it's sometimes hard to make time to stay in touch with the friends you've made over the years.

Tonight I reconnected with some friends that I haven't really talked to in a while and it kinda made me feel all warm and squishy inside, lol.

So, in lieu of this warm feeling that I have, I'm making an early New Years Resolution.... here it goes

"ahem.... this year I resolve to make more time to stay in touch with some of the best women that I've ever met" you girls know who you are and I thank each of you for the times you've helped me (sometimes even when you didn't know you were helping) and just for being there when I needed a good laugh or a shoulder to cry on. I thank God for the day you came into my life. It's a privilege knowing you all.

Mwah!

Exams and more exams!

The past week has been crazy. I've had my face in the books studying day and night but this morning I'm taking a break. Only two more left to go. This time tomorrow I will be almost finished my Psychology exam. Yay!

Anyway, after much thought and deliberation I've decided to change my major... to Anthropology. I am so excited. I'm very indecisive when it comes to the rest of my life, lol.

So, in order to graduate on time I'm taking five Arch. courses next semester. Forensic Anth. Historical Anth. Collections Mgmt. Native American Anth. and The Physical Animal. Whew! It's gonna be tough but I think I can handle it.

I must go get some last minute studying done for my exam this afternoon.

Snow snow and more snow!

So, I just turned off the Weather Network and they say that overnight Newfoundland's East coast is going to get bombarded with about 55Cm's of snow. Holy Shit! I can't say that I'm overly pleased with the idea but I'm thinking that if I'm snowbound that English paper that I've been putting off writing might get done... *sigh* I have no idea where to even start writing.

Wish me luck!

Guys vs. Girls

I had English Lit class today and we were discussing the character of Brett in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. So of course the discussion leads to the topic of why women are viewed as sluts when they sleep around and men are hailed as the conquering heroes of the nubile virgins. Correct? IMO? Not true.

I think, in today's media and with the opinion of many of my peers women who sleep around are not viewed as negatively as they once were. And the girls who are 'saving' themselves are mocked. A fellow student of mine made a comment a few weeks ago that she had never engaged in anything 'serious' in a relationship.... my response? A very shocked and dumbfounded expression, you don't get many of these girls in college anymore. Not that there's anything wrong with her, mind you. It's just that I found it to be very strange indeed.

I think that at my age it's likely that girls have had numerous lovers and no one is looking at them and thinking "those sluts..." the same with guys. I think the negative connotation can go both ways and depends entirely on how the guy or girl treats themselves. In other words, no one will think badly of what you have done unless you think badly about what you have done.

It kind of makes me wonder, are we all just manifestations of our own self image?

One down one more to go....

With the end of the semester so near it's sad yet exhilarating to know that soon, for three whole weeks, the hardest question my brain will have to endure is whether I should get my lazy ass out of bed before,or after noon.

I always find that toward the end of each semester I find myself tired of the subjects I'm studying and looking forward to the new ones that are soon to be starting. Always looking for the subject that will spark my interest so much that I will immediately say to myself "self, this is what you are supposed to do for the rest of your life." How many of us, I wonder, spend their lives doing something that they feel they weren't meant to do. And what of the select few who find their life's vocation and are blissfully happy doing it.

I find myself asking, what would it be like to wake up in the morning and look forward to going to work?

The curse they call television...

Why, oh why do I do this to myself. I swear every week that I will NOT turn on the television on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm. Why you ask? Because my remote control will automatically turn on the Gilmore Girls. I have no idea why I feel compelled to turn that show on. It drives me utterly insane. I do enough rambling of my own without having to turn on the television to hear two semi-grown women prattle on like high school girls who have mixed a cocktail of Speed and Red Bull. It's like an accident, you can't turn away no matter how much your subconscious tells you that it's wrong to stare at the wreckage.

*sigh*

Today's count...

Coffee: One (I'm being good today)
Hours spent on the computer: one and a half
Hours reading "Speaker For The Dead": Two... at least
Hours spent studying: Five, but that includes two and a half hours spent in Psychology and Archaeology.

Not a computer genius...

I decided this morning that I would add a pretty little clock to my blog... not happening, not only do I not know what HTML means I don't have a frigging clue how to even go about putting one of those nice little clocks on my blog. A woman of my generation should have more computer knowledge than I. It's a little embarrassing actually.

It's also a little sad that no one has come to visit me yet today, *sigh*. Oh well I shall continue bravely onward.

Todays count....

Coffees: 2
Hours spent on computer: 4 ish...
Hours spent studying: none (do we detect a pattern...)

Not really on top ;)

Contrary to what the title indicates i'm not really on top. Quite the contrary actually. For the perverts out there who are looking at this title and thinking.... well I won't tell you what they're thinking, suffice it to say there is a reason I called them perverts.

I started this blog so I could tell you all about my crazy life, sometimes it seems like the stupid stuff that happens to me couldn't really happen in real life. Real live people are much more organized and co-ordinated than me.

Are you sure you want to hear this? lol......
