Woo Hoo New PJ Bottoms

So I had a pair of PJ Bottoms that I liked. They were comfy and nice to wear just around the house in the evenings. Well with me losing weight I got to the point where I HAD to have the draw string done up. Just like in Stacey fashion one day I didn't, and the cuff got under my foot I went to take a step, and put my knee right through the PJ Bottoms :( Well Bill and I went out shopping yesterday, and bought me NEW ONES they are fleece, black and grey, and yes very cozy. They will be warm on the freezing Alberta evenings Imust say.

So Bill has Sirius radio in his work truck, and heard about a million 'you know your a red neck jokes' on the last job he was out on. So yesterday I googled them. I have a friend Frank going through a rough time so I thought I'd leave a few of those jokes on his answering machine. I also googled 'you know your from Vancouver if...' jokes as well. Being a former Vancouver girl (that's Vancouver BC, not Washington) I have to post a few I thought were the most funny:

~you know your from Vancouver when you can point to two ski hills even on a cloud day
~you know your from Vancouver during your first trip in the prairies and you panic, no mountains, no ocean and you don't know where north is
~you know your from Vancouver when you know that west side, west end, and west vancouver all all different places
~you know your from Vancouver when you get so confused with 3 inches of snow and you try to snort it
~you know your from Vancouver when you can't remember is pot illegal?
~you know your from Vancouver when you take a bus and are shocked two people are carrying on a conversation in English
~you know your from Vancouver when your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail is into BDSM, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.
~ you know your from Vancouver when you know how to pronounce Squamish, Osoyoos, Coquitlam, Nanaimo, Chilliwack, and Tsawwassen

I thought these were to funny. Makes me think of home....lol

I head into work today at 9:15am for my bi-weekly performance review. They call it a coaching meeting in the cult (the cult being the bank), but I know differently. Have I mentioned I hate working at the cult?

I WAS going to work on the Dogs, but Merlin & Arthur was already in my Q-snaps so I just went with it....lol. See that's the key if I take it out then I'll pull out the Dogs. Posted a pic of Merlin & Arthur on a message board, and hardly anyone responded. One has to be one of the popular posters I guess. Oh well.

This is for all the Men

Ok there's a contraception in the bathroom it holds the toilet paper on the hanger. Now guys when the roll is empty ya just take it off. It's actually a very simple process the piece the toilet paper hangs on pushes in slightly then you slip off the old tube, and put on the new roll. I swear you do this you wife, girlfriend, or partner won't know what has happened. She might wonder if another woman has been in the house lol

Not sure what are plans are today. It's actually sunny out so we may go on a family walk, and end up at the park. That's always fun. I actually got all my laundry done (well it's washed and dryed I just have to fold it and put it away) as Bill might get called out on a job today. He's hoping not as he doesn't want to miss the Saskatachewn Football game.

Changed batteries in my digital camera yesterday, and then it woudn't work grrrr. I got the battereis at the dollar store so I'm hoping it's just that the battereis are old, and don't have a lot of juice left in them. As I used the camera yesterday morning, and it was fine except needing the new batteries I'm almost certain that is the case.

I continued working on Merlin and Arthur. This page looks like it won't be as much confetti. Tonight I'm going to try and work on the hunting dogs.

Update!

Well I actually had a comment on my blog. A real to life comment. Woo hoo. How excited was I? Got up and did a little happy dance I did. Hmmm wonder if that counts as exercise?

I guess I kind of sounded nervous about the mole removal in my blog yesterday. This isn't the first mole I have to get removed. I had one right under my left eye close enough to the eye that I had to see a plastic surgeon to have it removed. Gave birth to DS without drugs, and had my wisdom teeth pulled with just freezing. Not that these are badges to rub into people's faces just facts that medical procedures don't make me nervous. When the first Dr. said it looked like Cancer that kind of made me nervous. This Dr. yesterday even though he couldn't remove it at the Hospital did look at it, and he doesn't think it is Cancer. So that is good, but he won't know for sure until the biopsy is done. I tried to call the clinic to make an apt, and of course the power was out no one was answering the phone at the clinic. Then when the power went back on I was to busy at the bank to get away to make the call. Go figure hey. I'll give them a call today.

Job hunt. Well I applied for 3 things this week, and still not a call back. Ok, ok granted it might be to early to hear anything, but hey it's ME. Don't they know I'm fantastic...lol

Well good news is I finished another page on Merlin and Arthur. So that makes 24 pages done. Woo hoo go me.

Off to the Hospital Today

Well about a week and a half ago I went to the Dr. to have a mole checked out, and my Dr. figures that it looks like skin cancer, but contained meaning it's not going to spread. So I'm going to try to get it removed this morning. Going to be at the Hospital at like 8:00 am. They will then do a biopsy on the mole. So I'll know 100% either way. Then it's at work until like 6:15 this evening.

The job hunt is starting to get to me. I live in a town of about 13,000 people so we are not talking a big town. I have like 10 plus years experience doing admin type work, and I can't steal an interview. Oh wait unless I'm on vacation in Vancouver. Seriously when we were in Vancouver visiting our families I got 3 phone calls for interviews ~sigh~ Of course none were willing to wait 3 days for us to come home. So back to my job hunt. So I'm applying to stuff I see in the paper, and then not hearing back. So I'm learning that in this town it's not what you know it's who you know, and we haven't even lived here a year so I know no one. I applied for a Reception position at like Kal Tire (they sell tires in case you couldn't figure it out....lol), and I didn't even get an interview. I'm smart, hard working, great attitude and attractive what is going on here? I mean yes I'm working now 20 hours a week, but I can't stand it. I think what really gets to me is the up selling. Trying to talk customers into Visas, loans, mortgages etc yup I have quotas I have to make have to get so many butts booked for appointments. Now for the privilege to help the lovely customers we the tellers get to put up with customers yelling at us, swearing at us, telling lies....grrrrrr

Ok enough grumbling. Today is Friday so that is good. Tomorrow is the start of the weekend....woo hoo, and hubby got home yesterday.
