Shut Up and Run.

 

Out Of Order February 16 2006

Filed under: General — pamalamadingdong @ 5:09 pm

Well not exactly….but sort of.
There is ALOT of crazy stuff happening right now…none of it good. And I’m not really ready to write about it yet. I can’t seem to put it into words. I will though..possibly after a large bottle of wine. hmmm.

If you ever EVER hear me say that I am going to open a business? KILL ME. Quickly please.
It’s horribly stressful and I feel completely inept…not to mention the fact that it sure is taking a toll on my marriage…
So there you go…that’s all I can give you without going into the sordid horrible details. blah.

Details to follow…possibly tomorrow when I have a sense of humour again….

GAH! What a week!

Whiney pre-schooler alert! Must go.

 
 

Adventures of Annoying Girl February 10 2006

Filed under: General — pamalamadingdong @ 7:42 pm

Annoying girl was working again today.
She started to tell me about how she refuses to use a meat slicer and how she almost cut her thumb off, and I FLED, I didn’t make eye contact and left the room. Left her dashing at Chris with her thumb in his face showing him the scar.
Oy.
And then she asked Chris if he wanted her to do up a floor plan for the dishwashing area behind the kitchen. His answer was a plain and simple, but utterly confused “Um nope”

When Chris asked if she was able to take the garbage out or did she need his help lifting it her answer was..oh yup I gathered it all up and it’s in the back of my truck. my truck…that is parked NEXT to the HUGE green garbage bin.
IN THE BACK OF HER TRUCK! What the fuck? Because…now get this…ready for it? Because she LIKES GOING TO THE DUMP!
Moving along…
She came and asked me if I was a “shoe lady” “purse lady” or a “coat lady”
at first I was APPALLED she as calling me lady…and was having a hard time even deciphering the question, and then I answered…I’m a shoe lady…no! Purse lady….well…I DO own a few coats. And she goes “Well I am a purse lady (this chick is NINETEEN) and I would love to trade some purses with you.”

TRADE PURSES?
Now any self respecting purse lady knows you DO NOT EVER RELINGUISH A PURSE…ever. You keep it. Even if it’s from 1982 and it’s a scrunchy banana-shaped patchy leather thing…YOU KEEP IT, you might need it for a wedding someday. Plus there are a few sales reciepts in there you need to keep, and also some tampons and a cert.

Also since she LOVES the dump so much it worries me a little about where she might be getting her purses.

And then…and then…and then…she started with the cooking advice…for Chris,..can I make some bread pudding..brownies I thought me might kill her…but no..that fuscia thong waving at him everytime she bent over (which is REALLY often) must’ve clouded his better judgement.
But WAIT, it gets better. Remember her father is a regular of ours. He is in there several times a day for coffee with his pals. Well today (he is very friendly and genuinely enjoy him) he looks over at me and goes “You’re Bert’s daugher right?” “Ummm………..yes?” “Oh! I used to work with your father for years and years and years” (which is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing). Sooooo now…he’s totally gonna tell on me if I can his daughter. But maybe if I slice her up and serve her on top of bread pudding, no one will ever know.

Ok…Brendan is wearing Chris’s old suit and tie and a paper krispy kreme hat…my super duper snow boots…and somehow…somehow in his whitebread small town life, he thinks he looks like a rapper!
HA!

Blog-i-birthday

Filed under: General — pamalamadingdong @ 9:24 am

My blog is 2 years old! I think it was yesterday and I totally forgot about it. TWO years! Man alive…I was much better at this blogging a year ago than I am now. Don’t ya think?

I honor of the 2nd birthday of my blog. I am planning a run today. HOWEVER, Noah is here, my plan is to get Chris to come and get him and I will run to the restaurant but it seems like that’s not going to happen as planned. SO maybe I will go to the restaurant with Noah…let Chris take him to school when it dies down and then I will go for a run from the restaurant sometime before I need to be home for the kids. THAT IS A FABULOUS IDEA! That way I will not have to be stinky stinky woman at the restaurant all day. I will just go home when I get back. AND I don’t have to leave my laptop and purse at home.
HURRAY! It’s getting better and better.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG!

 
 

pace yourself February 09 2006

ok…so I ran yesterday. Not very far, and certainly not very long but I did run! I ran from my house to the restaurant (about 3km) it was a balmy -10C and I ran on a snow covered trail…it was nicely groomed though. I think I will do it again today.
It didn’t suck nearly as badly as I thought it would, however while running up the first of 12 million hills I realized how far far away I am from any of my previous distances. It’s gonna take some time getting back up there and that my friends just plain sucks!

Noah, the lazy bum is still in bed…it’s 9am! We have things to do! He is totally going to day care today so I can witness the new HOT CHICK that Chris hired…it’s her first day you see and she’s annoying as hell. She’s been stalking us for WEEKS for a job…finally she sent some social services agency over to talk to us. They’ve given her to us for FREE for one month and then for 3 months after that? They subsidize about $5.50/hr of her wages (minimum wage here is $7.85) so…how can you say no. Plus it turns out her parents are LOYAL regulars..they are in EVERYDAY…ugh…I have a bad feeling about this.
Anyway off to drown my sorrows in tea! And then run to the restaurant again!
But this time! I will send clean and decent clothes with Chris,..as well as a flat iron as not to look so disgusting today.
Yesterday I was out front fixing our debit machine during our lunch rush in running tights and heavy running shirt a toque and a running jacket. Although while I was standing there getting some VERY odd looks I couldn’t help but chuckle at the actual price of my entire outfit. YIKES! Running clothes are expensive! We’re talking at $400 if you include the shoes! What the hell! For that reason ALONE i have to start running again.
Happy running.
