Dear Mother Nature...what is happening?

So I have heard quite a bit of commentary with regards to this hurricane that is supposed to hit our city today and last for a few days. I am not trying to suggest that our beloved Mother Nature isn't one to contend with...however...I do feel that the level of hysteria is a bit much. Wouldn't you? I even had a friend text me last night saying "if you can, get as far north as you can to avoid the coming hurricane. It's going to get really bad!". LOL!!!! Really? I need to vacate my home and leave my work behind for this? Again....really? Forgive my ignorance...but if it was to present itself as border line catastrophe...wouldn't we have had an evacuation notice? Aside from hearing things from friends and family...I haven't heard anything suggesting this ultimate severity on the news or on TV  Further more, every time the weather people make such statements implying things are going to get bad....it never really does. Forgive me for not taking this seriously. LOL!! I probably just jinxed it and I can see my house crumbling under the torrential down pour. GREAT!!!! Jokes!

How was everyone's weekend? I presume you all had some Halloween festivities to attend to. I went to my dear dear friend's bash and had an absolute blast. I haven't dressed up in costume for 2 years and I really do have a disdain for it but....my girlfriend insisted and I obliged. I have to say...I did do a great job with it too. Got tons of kudos for the outfit. Check it out...

Here's some exciting news; I have a date tonight!!!! Yup...I do!!! It's been a long while since I have gone on a date and it's been a long while since I have been intrigued enough to accept an offer. Let's see how this pans out!!! I am going to wish myself some luck! LOL

Last Friday I took my little nugget to an audition for a play of sorts. It really wasn't a true audition, just an opportunity to meet with the creator/director of the show. He's pretty amazing and I love what he's trying to do. The show is based on a political platform about the United Nations. Rather than each country being represented by a human figure, in this play, each country is represented by a Dachshund. Hopefully one of them will be my dog. The meet/greet/auditions were being held all week. The show isn't till next year March. I am supposed to hear back from the production team either today or tomorrow. Let's cross our fingers.

This week is going to be action packed. I am trying my best to take an over night adventure with my dear Lady friend to Niagara Falls on Saturday. I have it booked off already....hoping that my girlfriend can make it. I could really use an over night of debauchery. LOL!!!

Ok folks....that's all she wrote! xo P

Monday, bloody Monday!

Monday. I don't necessarily dislike Mondays. I think I just don't like the actual word Monday. Or maybe it's something else about Mondays. Either way...it is Monday and....well....the start of the week. Great!

I trust that everyone had a good or great weekend. If you didn't...that sucks and I am sorry. If you did...wonderful! Good for you. For those of you that didn't get any action (fun times) this past weekend...don't fret, Halloween is around the corner.

What can I say about Halloween? Just like most other holidays...I thoroughly enjoy the festivities...the energy, the excitement, the parties. And...just like other holidays...I don't really care for the actual event itself. With Halloween...I have zero interest in dressing up and going out parading in an outfit that is completely uncomfortable and awkward. I have made a solid effort in the years passed....even went as far as to spend a pretty penny on a sort of kick ass outfit. I did this last year and didn't even get the outfit on to go to a party. Instead....it's sitting in my closet. I was invited to my dear friend's Halloween party this coming Saturday. She said it's mandatory dress up. Of course my first reaction was one of disappointment and annoyance followed by..."oh well...at least I have an outfit!". What is it...you might ask? Ha!!! Take a guess! What do chicks usually do with this annual event? Dress up like little 'hoochies' for the most part. I feel like it's an opportunity for 'most' ladies to go balls out and get extra tacky. Oh well....their choice. So back to the big question...what's my outfit? Greek Goddess! LOL Yes...I know I am not Greek. So...I will call the outfit "Latin Goddess". Sound good? I will be sure to take pictures and post some next week.

This week is steady. Not exemplary of my typical chaotic weeks. Thank goodness! I have to really focus my energy on 3 properties I am trying to sell. Need some serious luck her folks. Can we all please send some love to the universe....hope and pray that I sell these things ASAP. In fact....this is what I am going to say;

Friends, family, Angels, Universe...I ask you, please...let me sell these 3 properties inside the next 2 weeks. I really really need to move them. Sending you ALL of my love to you. Need you!

What else can I share? Had a pretty awesome weekend. Spent Friday night with my bff...the one that I always say is an angel put on this earth just for me....lol! We did a Twilight movie marathon, ate Chinese food and had ceasers and wine. Brilliant! Saturday night went to a dear friend's bday party. Always a pleasure. Did some partying with my dear buddy Ace and then passed. Sunday....caught up with another bff of mine. Action packed and filled with great company. Loved it!

Well...want to wish everyone a Happy and safe Halloween! Enjoy! Catch ya next week! xoxo

Yawn.....

Doesn't this weather just make you want to snooze or sleep? Dark, gray, cold....I could easily crawl into bed right about now...or get on my couch and snuggle with my little nugget. Either one sounds appealing to me. However...no can do! Monday is the day to set the tone for productivity in the week. It has been a very hectic day and as such...I wonder...does this mean the rest of my week will be this way? Looks like it. I am already booked up for the week...and it's only Monday. Holy Moses!

It is a special week/month. Tons of birthdays happening. This week alone there are 4; my sister, my cousin and 2 dear friends. Ay ay ay. This is going to burn a hole in my pocket. FACK!!! LOL They are worth it and so...as always...I will go the mile to celebrate their birthdays. Speaking of bday festivities...taking one of my dear friends to see Cirque Du Soleil. It looks so friggin amazing...I am over the moon excited to see it. YAY!!!!

Random thought; I AM SO TIRED of POF. I am totally at my whits end with that piece of pooh site. I have zero energy left for making any connections on there. I thought I had 2 solid ones and then...they turned into pooh. I think that site should be called 'Plenty of Poo'! Cause that's what's there...a whole lot of pooh. LOL

This past weekend I got to spend some quality time with my mom and a dear family friend. We went out for dinner to this resto that we always go to together. Had a brilliant meal accompanied by 2 glasses of a mind blowing Malbec. Yum yum yum! After a ton of laughs..the night ended delightfully. Saturday night...I was in the company of one of my bestest friends. I always call her my angel because she is my angel. I mean...I strongly believe that she is an angel...on this planet to look after me. LOL!!! I love this woman. We had a meal at this resto called Lee on King St. HOLY MOSES BATMAN....killer food there. I would STRONGLY recommend it but know in advance...it costs a pretty penny. Totally worth it though! From there we hit up a bar with a kick ass outdoor patio with heating lamps and a fire. We sat next to the fire and had some drinks. Brilliant time! From there we went to a club. I went to this club for my 25th birthday except back in the day it was called something else. So now...it's called Cobra and the bouncers let my bff and I in. They ask for a $20 cover to which my reply was "excuse me? Ya right I am going to pay $20 cover. I am from suburbia!" After a chuckle from everyone around...one bouncer took us to the back door and let us into another club...cover free. Ha!!! It's good to be us! LOL That club is called Brant House. Had a couple bevies there and then moved onto yet another bar. The name of that one escapes me at the moment. I will have to look it up because it is gorgeous inside and it is definitely a repeat.

I haven't got much more to report as of now. I am just working working working away. Doing my best to get in some fun time...and I have officially brought my workout schedule back up to par; 5 workouts a week. Lovin it!

Till next week folks! xo P

UNLOAD!

So it is Tuesday...a short week for those of you that work regular hours...lol! I didn't have to work yesterday although I did spend the whole day looking after personal things like cleaning my car and house. Man...that was a full day of cleaning. Ugggghhhh....at least I got it done and now my spotless Rocco (car) is happy and my home is clean and tidy. Feels good I tell ya! With the rest of the weekend...I did get my party on on Saturday night. Was in the company of one of my dearest friends...always a treat to visit with her. We had some drinks with her fiance and had a blast. She's getting married this summer coming...so we had a lot to discuss as I am sure you can understand...lol!

What can I share with you today?

Seeing as I have hit a bit of a plateau with my workouts...I needed to make a serious decision re: my next step in terms of getting fit. As of the spring I was at 5 workouts a week and then that fell by the way side big time over the summer...naturally! Now...it's time to step it up again. My long term goal is to be at a target weight for next August...my bff's wedding. Until then...I have one other goal in place which is for March. Until March I am going to BUST ASS literally. If by the time March comes around, I haven't seen what I want to see...then I am taking a monster step in a different direction. Not going to get into that now. Today was workout #2 of the week. I am about to step into the world of 'spinning' come tomorrow. EEEEKKK! A little terrified for that. Everyone I talk to tells me it is 'deadly'. Well...I can't imagine anything more deadly than my trainer's Tuesday morning kickboxing class...but I guess I will soon find out! Ha!

Dating life? What a joke!!!! So I am still on POF and Match. It really is amazing to me when I hear stories about people that find their partners on these sites. I mean...Match has yielded me NOTHING. I mean..I have had conversations with dudes on there...but only 1 official date. I think it could be that I am not interested in putting in another friggin minute into these things but....then I am told not to close myself off. Now...with POF...lots of convo action there...but when it comes to dates...I either have to bail on them because of work or I am in no mood to extend myself to commuting for a date. Why do I need to commute you might ask? Well...for the most part these dudes are out of the city or are in a neighbouring city and they don't drive. FACK! Talk about TOO MUCH work. Ugggggghhhh.....I just took a deep sigh while writing this. Just thinking about it is exhausting.

Next topic...

Saw 2 movies as of late; Looper and Taken 2.

Looper....LOVED IT! My goodness Joseph Gordon-Levitt.....love that kid! He's friggin amazing...and damn cute to boot. Great story line....incredibly wild movie. Taken 2? Not so great! Not nearly as great as the first movie. Liam Neeson...the dude killed this role. He's awesome with action...I mean it! The story just couldn't pull the weight even though Liam could. He did carry the movie....it just wasn't enough. So many movies to go and see these days....maybe I will hit another one up this weekend coming.

So...I think I may start the count down to my trip right now.....YAY!!!! So...10 weeks to go till I fly to Belgium to visit with my bff. I happen to arrive on her birthday...again. I went to visit her 2 years ago...exact same day. Man...am I good or what?!! LOL So ya...I arrive right on her birthday and then I spend a couple days with her before I boogie to Holland's Amsterdam for a couple days. I am going to be visiting with an old old friend from little school. He lives there with his lovely wife. During my little stay in Amsterdam...I believe I will be going shopping for a wedding dress with my bff. Not too sure. I will be venturing to a town in northern Holland to visit the tallship I sailed 10 years ago. OMG....I can't believe it has been 10 years since I have sailed. All good though...cause on this trip...my bff and I are spending 4 days sailing of the coast of Spain...The Canary Islands. It brings tears to my eyes to know that I am going to get back on a boat and actually sail. Uggggghhhh....I can't wait! The level of excitement is almost too much for me to bear...lol! Almost!

Well folks...I feel as though I wrote a mini novel.....lol....ok that was an over statement....but you get the idea. Till next week kiddos.....xo P

Re-Assessment!

Hey you....long time no see!! LOL

So..it is clear that writing every day is NOT feasible for me anymore...what with my typical 12 to 15 hour work days and such. So...now I am setting a new goal; blog once a week. I think that is a fair commitment to make. Wouldn't you agree?

So here I am! It is Monday and I already feel like I have accomplished a whole week worth of shit. LOL!!! Yes...that is how busy I am. I want to make it clear that I am not complaining. I actually love it. A lot of things have fallen by the way side because of this like my workouts.....down to one a week instead of the 3 to 4 I was getting in before. My dating life has crumbled almost completely. Over the past few weeks I think I had a handful of dates booked but I had to cancel all of them because I had to work. I have had to bail on a few obligations due to work and I can see that people (friends and whomever else) are getting pissed with me. I do get it! But...at the end of the day...this is my career and it is my life. So...I apologize to all of those who have suffered from my absence. I will make it up to you....when I can!!! One love! LOL

What else is going on...you would ask?
Hmmmm....well...I went to see a KISS tribute band play on Saturday night. SO FUN!!!! Check out the pics!

They were really amazing!! Who knew?!!! LOL

This week I get to see one of my dearest girlfriends whose coming into town from Montreal...super excited for that!!!

And that's about it folks!!! I will be sure to have more juicy gossip for you next week!!! xo P

It's about time!

It has been awhile since I have posted a blog.

I can't even say that it's because I am overly busy. I mean....I am overly busy but...I think in the back of my mind...I just don't want to share what is happening in my life right now. There is so much going on...both business and personally related and each component has become so private...I just wouldn't know what to say anymore here.

I would love to update you on a relationship that I have just terminated as of last week. I will speak of it in light terms. I am certain that this person can find my blog and I have zero interest in stirring things up. With that said, we have been friends for a long time...more than 3 years. Over these 3+ years....there have been repeated brutal events. Each time I would state the situation at hand and we would come to some resolution. Not long after these discussions about bad/negative behavior this person would revert right back to Square One...totally ignoring what was discussed and as a result...another fight would occur. How many times can I possibly go through the same event? Over and over and over and over again! It is fuckn exhausting! I am exhausted! I don't have the time or energy to deal with such an exhausting person who is supposed to be my friend but is rather a dead weight to me. This person brings me more grief than happiness. This person is more trouble than good times. This person is damaging to my well being and after 3 years of brutality....I AM DONE!!!!!!

Next; I am sure you don't remember...but I went out on 2 (AMAZING!) dates with this guy that I met on POF. He was the outdoorsy kind of guy....tall/handsome/ginger...gorgeous/intelligent and all those good things. I definitely fell hard for the guy and after those 2 dates...he disappeared completely. I am not the kind of person to go begging or even to put closure on things. Since he sold me out....I expected that that was over. I never called him to find out what happened nor to give him an ear full....although there were times that I definitely wanted to. Please note; this episode was 4 months ago. Well...last Friday that DOUCHE BAG texted me with an apology. Ha!!!! Can you believe it? All along I thought he high tailed it because he read my blog and thought that I was maybe too involved and he wasn't prepared for that. The reality is....he was seeing someone else...and made a decision to date only one.....the other one! Turns out she is a lesbian and tried to have sex with his ass!!! LMAO Karma folks!! It is real...watch out!

For some reason...the Russian stripper whom I have maintained a friendship with for about 4 months now...has come to a new level. I am not certain what that level is....but....he is acting differently towards me. This is throwing me off BIG TIME! Now...we all know that I have been working on a 'special project'. As per usual I can't get into it now...but....there is a connection between my project and the Russian stripper. I feel like he is working harder at maintaining this friendship than he ever has. Why? I have no idea! I didn't do anything differently. I haven't said anything to him that would illicit some reaction....as in increasing his level of communication with me. I DON'T KNOW!!!! It really doesn't matter either. It is just mentally throwing me off.

My business and my special project are in full force. This makes me happy. I have really been devoting almost all of my time to my work. I am ok with this. If I freed up anymore time than I already do I would be forced to feel that absence of a man in my life. I am sitting on the fence as of late....with my single life. I love it because it gives me so much freedom to be me and do whatever I want to do. I have 2 trips to Europe next year. The first trip is 2 weeks starting at the end of December into January; hitting up Belgium, Holland and hopefully Italy. The second on is in August of next year....my bff's wedding. I am participating in 3 weddings next year....and of course my special project will materialize and be exposed by June of next year. Next year is going to be INSANE!!!! This combined with work...leaves very little time to nurture a relationship. On the other hand....I am not getting any younger. At 32....time is moving fast. It would be a treat to meet the rock star of a man that I am hoping to find for a life-time partner. With that said....I am still on these friggin horrible dating sites. They all suck balls!!!!

Let's lighten up the tone here....I am having a blast with my dear dear friends. Thank the lords for them. Seriously!!! Of course I need to put my family into this thought. My sister and her boys are keeping me busy as well. Was with them last night....spent some much needed quality time with my older nephew and got to snuggle with the twins. This is the light at the end of the day.

Well....this seems to be a long enough blog for one day! I hope it's not another bunch of weeks before I am back here!

Loves to you, the universe, my angels!!! xo P

Grinning from ear to ear!

Well Hello there Stranger,

LOL!!! It has been awhile since I have posted...and of course so much has happened...it is ridiculous!

If you can...just try to envision me sitting at my desk...rubbing my hands together....like I am about to get down to business....lmao.....cause here we go;

I have new eye candy to oogle whenever I so chose to. He is a stripper....yes he is! He is at the club that I no longer have any interest in attending...unless of course I want to spend some quality time with my bff who's bf works there or to simply catch up with the regular gang that is there. You could never know or understand what is appealing to me to participate in this kind of entertainment. It is simply too hard to explain. Just know that I have more fun than one can handle at these establishments. How can you put a price on laughing your ass off for hours while sipping on cocktails and enjoying knock out fabulous male bodies while in the company of good friends? Sounds too good to be true, right? LMAO

Sold a house yesterday. Yuppers! I know I don't really discuss my business on here. I try to avoid it because as much as I am doing well, I am a sort of private person when it comes to my personal successes in life. I am going to celebrate this sale. Just as a small side note here...the young man who bought the house that my Mom and I sold...happens to be a looker. It was a real pleasure working with him. He is a tad bit younger, very charming and I have virtually met his entire family minus 2 brothers. I might add, his parents loved me! LMAO!!!! I would love to see a psychic for some insight!

This weekend is going to be action packed...as always! Tomorrow night putting in some quality time with my dear dear gf at the 'club'...lol! Saturday I have to work all day and then Saturday night? Not entirely sure what's happening there. Sunday I am hitting up the Bridal show to do some recon for my 'special project' that is coming along nicely if I may say so myself.

I love my life!
