So GREAT!!!

Well....I woke up to the bitter cold temp in my house at an ungodly hour. I then had to snuggle with my puppy to get an ounce of heat. He did the job and did it well!

I finally decide enough is enough....too friggin cold to sleep and get up to discover I have no heat in my house...along with no hot water! Hmmmmm!!!! What to do? What to think? After much deliberation with the necessary parties; turns out my roommate and I are both (to be politically incorrect) RETARDED! We never set up an account with our gas supplier and they have shut us down. We are in arrears for 6 friggin months. WONDERFUL!

As it turns out....it is a simple procedure to have these 'gas' people come to my house to hook me up. YAY!!!

From this I had to hustle to Toronto by 10am....to do a showing at my dad's condo. I HATE TORONTO!!! I mean...I like to go there for an evening out....but otherwise...I HATE TORONTO!!!! Perpetual construction everywhere which equals perpetual traffic. Did I say I HATE TORONTO? It took me an hour to get there...and just shy of an hour to get home....when I only spent 20 minutes at my dad's place. GRRRR!!! All of this combined...all before 12 noon......so not good for my rage. To add to that fire, I didn't even get my morning coffee till 12:30pm this afternoon...along with breakfast.

Then...I had to have a nap to settle my mind and energy level. Which brings me to about 15 minutes ago.

I had to get caught up on the Royal Wedding....had to see Kate's dress. Well folks...this definitely turned my negative energy into positive energy. It is really something to see 2 people so in love....such a beautiful couple. Congrats to them. Makes me hopeful for my wedding....one day!

I had so much more I wanted to share with you....but it is Friday! I do have an exam first thing tomorrow morning and I desperately need to study! Hope you all have a brilliant Friday!!! See you next week!

Buenos Dias Amigos......!

It was sunny for a brief amount of time this morning, and now....its ugly and gray again! Meh...who cares! As of tonight...I am in happy land for 10 days.

So last night I went to the city to celebrate a friend's birthday. Where did she have it? At a Fox & The Fiddle on Bloor. I had no idea this place existed...and it is friggin awesome. They have Karaoke 5 nights a week. OMG!!!! Heaven!!!! I met a bunch of super awesome people. I should have guessed....such a cool girl....comes cool friends. Thank you darling for such a great time. I sang two songs...only! The place was packed. I do want to say this though; the Karaoke host....not cool at all. I wish I could put Jeff Smith in that guys place. The greasy monkey that he was....suggested that I pay him to get bumped up the list. Can you believe it? What is this? Karaoke mafia? As if!!!!! Good times non-the-less!

Today is Thursday. Not much time left between now and my exam. I am in slight panic mode. I am seriously debating taking the day off tomorrow to power house through some studying. I am also stressing that I have to clean my house before I have guests over tomorrow evening. LMAO.....granted my priorities are slightly skewed!

So...just to touch on this topic for shits and giggles; I went to get waxed yesterday. I would say it is such a pleasure...but it really wasn't. The outcome is great...but the procedure....grrrrr!! I wouldn't say its the actual hair removal that's painful....I would say its when the hot wax touches your skin. That is a very sensitive region....its a good thing I only have to do it ever 6 weeks. I asked my 'waxer' lady, if she does any vagazzling...LMAO! She said NO! That must be a novelty offered only in the city. LOL

Well folks....that's all for now! Peace love and rock n roll!!! Tomorrow is FRIDAY.....YAY!

Happy Days.........celebrations!!!

Hello world......sending my love to you!!!

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood...lol!! It's sunny out...and warm! ZERO complaints today.

Had a not so killer workout yesterday. POOH! I felt like I would after a night of heavy drinking. My trainer and I came to the conclusion that it was probably directly related to the 30 some odd mls of blood taken from my body after a 12 hour fast. I was totally dehydrated. I still did an intense workout...but not being with my A-game....I didn't get to the level that I usually perform at and definitely no boxing. I was on the verge of passing out a couple times....as well as on the verge of vomiting. Not so fun! I am with some of the good soreness today...which means it wasn't a total bust.

Now....I have my real estate phase 2 exam Saturday morning. Getting sort of freaky about that. Will be studying over my lunch break as well as tomorrow all day/night as well as Friday. Let's all send love to the universe...wishing me good luck. Will need it! Just a side note; if I don't pass this one....I will have another chance. All will not be lost! I do realize that it would be better to kill it the first time around...but it is nice to have the knowledge that if I screw up....I will have another opportunity! You know? LOL

What else can I share with you? I will get to enjoy some much needed freedom in my house. Freedom from the wrath of roommates. YAY!!!! I am sure next week will be a shit show. Super jazzed about that!!!

Hoping all of you are in as fabulous a mood as I am! If not....hope your day lightens up! Happy Hump Day!

Rain rain go away.....come again another day!

Actually.....don't! LOL
I am really not complaining about the rain! To be perfectly honest...I couldn't care less about it raining outside. Why? Because I have to study today....stuck inside anyways.

I am in a relatively great mood. I had a great night last night...with you know who! He's amazing! So far today has been productive. Had to get some blood taken for my annual health exam. I think the nurse took something like 10 vials of blood from me...and some pee!! LOL Good times!! I ALWAYS struggle with the blood taking. It isn't about the needles....its about seeing my own blood leaving my body. Just imagining it (cause I definitely don't watch while its happening) gives me the shivers. I had a minor panic attack....the nurse just laughed at me. They always do! They ask; "how can you be so nervous...when you've had tons of needles in your body through tattooing?" My reply; IT ISN'T THE SAME!!! I am sure you all understand why!

I have a workout with my angel Rhonda this afternoon! Its going to be great! Going to get my boxing on....going to beat the crap out the punching bag...as I always do! Can't wait to feel the soreness tomorrow. Small pleasures people!

Now...I had a very dear friend tell me yesterday to post the post that I mentioned in yesterday's blog. I immediately thought...why not! After many hours of contemplation...I decided against it! Here's why...

I, for some reason, don't like to hang onto shit. I think it is bad for your health. This is why I say...I need my workouts with Rhonda...as often as possible. LOL It makes me feel off/weird/uncomfortable....sending out to the universe...thoughts that existed for a moment in time. Since Friday...I have changed my feelings on the matter which led me to write that blog. This is why...I can't possibly put out those thoughts...now! They have expired. However....it is my goal to combine all of my blogs...even ones that I haven't posted...and eventually put it into a book; Paula's memoirs. Sounds great...no? LMAO So if you can hold out....you'll be able to read it...one day!

There is one thing I will say on that matter.....
You know who you are.....even if you tell me you don't read my blog.....I know you do! You think you can lie to me, manipulate me, hurt me and break me down......well....think again! You couldn't be anymore wrong! You say people don't change....I think what you are really seeing is how you haven't changed. People still react to you the way we do since the beginning of time (your time)....because you are exactly the same as you have always been! I can move past this......wipe everything away.....if you would only apologize! That is all it would take. I leave it to you!!!

At a loss......!

I would love to be cheery and full of great energy. I am almost there. However....things happened over the weekend that deflated my happy bubble. I won't get into it right now. Want to stay relatively pleasant.

I am super jazzed....going out on date #5 with Mr. Fabulous. I have no idea what we are doing...cause it is a surprise. I like surprises!! LOL I went out with him over the weekend...had lunch on a rooftop. He rocks!

Today...this morning....caca went down in the office and apparently its all my fault. Naturally! It seems whenever things hit the fan....it is always my fault. Whatever!

Now...trying my best to stay positive. It is a bit of a struggle. I did write a blog Friday night....but didn't post it. Why? Well...we all know that I don't post over the holidays or on the weekends. I wrote one because I needed to vent and share with you. I guess you are wondering; if I wrote it...why don't I post it? Well...it has a grim tone to it. I feel like I would be exposing an element of my life...that may come back to haunt me in the future. I think that is a tad bullshitty....lol! I could totally post it. Maybe I should. I have written way more incriminating posts. Let me get back to that!

I am starving...its lunch time! I need food! On that note; luvs to the world! Thank you for being you! xo

Happy Easter!!!!

As you know I don't write on holidays or over the weekend...so this is my parting blog for the week. So what's everyone up to this weekend? I imagine that you will all be participating in some family activities for the Easter holiday...yes? I am doing my family thing on Sunday. My sister/bro-in law and their son, my step bro, his wife and their kids and my parents....brunch = good times!

However got lots of time between now and then. What will I be doing you ask?

Let me share with you my weekend itinerary;
Tonight...........................................................................KARAOKE!!!! Oh ya baby!
Tomorrow Day.....................................................Workout, study (maybe nurse hangover)
Tomorrow Night.............................................................Drinks in the hood with friends
Saturday Day........................................................Workout, study (maybe nurse hangover)
Saturday Night.................................................................Movie with Sister
Sunday..................................................................Family Day = Easter egg hunt...my fav part! LOL

Now...in terms of juicy gossip....or anything juicy for that matter....I am seeing Mr. fabulous tomorrow...for lunch. We had a fabulous date the other night....Tuesday I believe. Went to see the movie Limitless which was friggin awesome. Loved it! Get this.....during one of our many conversations....he happened to ask me what was my favorite chocolate and my favorite band....just in passing. When he picked me up on Tuesday....what did he have for me? A monster bag of my fav chocolate; mini eggs and he gave me this friggin awesome t-shirt....with my fav band's logo on it; Sublime. This guy is good! LOL Gold star for him...twice over!

Well folks...sending out a ton of love for you all! Happy Easter to you and your families! Peace love and Rock n Roll!

Wow.....what kind of world do we live in?

So....this morning I was driving into work on the 427. I was about to merge into another lane...but saw this red piece of shit pulling up quick times in that lane....so I refrained. This car...when it caught up to mine....the passenger decided to make a funny face at me and then flipped me the finger. Ha! CRAZY PEOPLE!

Naturally....I let it ride. Then....when I saw a clear path to catch up to them again.....I did! Upon arriving eye to eye with that crazy woman....she proceeded to give me the finger AGAIN. The driver was laughing.

Now....please, enlighten me. WTF is going on with people today!

This is sort of what she looked like but imagine it on a mature woman.....who's probably in her 50's!

Devastating for first thing in the morning! This has left me feeling void of any positive emotions for the day!

Happy Hump Day! xo P

Chivalry Is NOT Dead!

Ok....so I believe I owe this subject some face time on my blog. Why? Because....as much as I always said this wasn't important to me....I now know that it is. How did I come to this conclusion? Good question...!

I know I have mentioned that I was dating someone....maybe I didn't....I can't remember! So...just a brief update; I have been on 2 dates with this guy who deserves the title 'perfect gentleman'. The second date was last Friday. He picks me up at my house and we then hit up a restaurant in my hood. Had a great time, ate great food and had some drinks. Not only was the conversation great...but it turns out we have much in common. All good things. We then proceed to go back to my house, where we pick up the noodle and head out for a walk. Again...great chats and some good laughs. The whole time....this guy is opening doors for me and is going the mile to be charming and sweet. FYI; he showed up at my house with roses....OMG! LOVE IT!

We've been chatting incessantly since the first time we went out. This is also an awesome bit because the guy can write and speak with charm and delightfulness. I was on the verge of peeing my pants of laughter at times with this written words...priceless! He is so polite and kind. Always throwing in compliments and boosting my ego...can't go wrong there! LOL I am sure if he had is way....we'd be seeing each other everyday. With that said....we are going out tonight. EXCITING!

I have to be honest...and if you are reading this sunshine....forgive me...but this is where I share without refrain. Initially...I was hesitant to even go out with him. Why? Because he's from POF. Further more....we met on there 2 years ago and we could just never come together....for whatever reason. And then finally...I was out of excuses and I had no real reason not to meet him. So I did! No regrets!

He definitely doesn't fit the usual pedigree of men. THANKFULLY! His parent's taught him right. LOL

I have ZERO expectations. I am simply taking our adventures one at a time...but have already made long term plans. Let me expand on that last comment. This man...he's a concert fanatic. I can't even begin to tell you how many he's been to...but I was wowed! He has access to any and all concerts....it seems. So...he's 'booked' with me, a Soundgarden concert in July as well as Edgefest, also in July. That is a couple months away....which is why I said long term plans. Will we still be dating by then? I hope so!

Let's see where this one goes....shall we?

I have a pronounced wrinkle inbetween my eyebrows......

This happens when I get annoyed, irritated or angry.

Let me start off my saying I did have a great weekend. I went out on a second date Friday night. This guy is a perfect gentleman. Such a pleasure to be in the company of one. Thank you darling! We had dinner and drinks...then picked up my little nerd (Chori) for a walk. LOVELY!!!

Saturday didn't get all that much done...was in SUPER LAZY mode. Finally got inspired to do some shopping, which in turn inspired a closet purge. Feels great to get rid of the old and make room for the new. Did some excellent shopping. Bought another pair of shoes....friggin gorgeous. Can't wait to wear them out. I should snap a picture and post it...lol!!! Once I was finished with that...I had to hustle to get ready to go to my mom's for drinks with her dinner party. From there I was meeting up with my gf to go see a movie....but we missed that and ended up going balls to the wall with a couple other friends of mine.

When I say balls to the wall...I mean that with emphasis. The four of us were doing shots like this was our last day on earth. I got so hammered....apparently I fell asleep at the bar for a few minutes..lol!!! Our server asked us to pay our bill and leave...lol! We took a cab back to my other friend's house where I immediately passed out. Typical! Good times. Woke up Sunday morning hating myself....but recovered well with some Advil and some breakfast. Again....good times.

Back to my original thought; I can't really comment with detail....just know that there were 2 occasions over the weekend that I was agitated by 2 peoples actions. One of these people made a comment about me and my actions...and only now I have processed it. I am thoroughly annoyed with this comment but....I acknowledge that I can always count on this person to make these kinds of comments....so why say anything to her. The next occasion is such typical behavior of this person....I don't know why I am surprised. I guess I only have myself to blame for accepting what is going on. If I want/need change....I have to go and make it happen....right? That would mean I would need to grow some balls. Maybe it's time!

Happy Monday world! xo P

Friday, April 15, 2011

Have I told you lately.....?

You all rock!!! Thank you for being you and being in my life! And.....TGIF!!!!

I am so going to celebrate the completion of of my real estate course 2. Of course I still have the exam to get through in 2 weeks. But....I feel like I have firm grasp on the content...and even if it takes me 2 tries...I will succeed. LOL

Why am I so full of love today? I have acquired a new friend through the program. So excited about this. She is a kindred spirit and she rocks. How small is the world? It turns out we went to high school together....although I have ZERO recollection of her. LOL Mind you...I wasn't really present during those years.

Sooooo.....I have a second date tonight. I wouldn't get too excited. If he shows up with a hat and hoodie...I am sending him home! Tomorrow I have a wicked busy day and busy night. Sunday will be all about relaxation....then its back to the 9-5 grind!

I think that's all I got folks. I am suffering from mild ADD because I have this article I have to write for HGTV and I am pressed for time. Need to buckle down and focus. Which means....I have to finish up here...and get the show on the road.

Peace out team! xo P

Family....the essence of life!

At least this is my opinion!

Last night I went to a family function; my cousin and his fiance's engagement party. Not only was I in the company of my fabulous family...but was meeting the people that would now become part of the family. This is a very exciting event. Thankfully....for us (my fam)....my cousin did good. LOL He found this absolutely incredible woman who not only is totally adorable but she comes with a pretty large network herself. I met her grandparents, uncles, aunts, parents, siblings, 1st cousins and finally second cousins. WHAT A PLEASURE! I believe this to be a perfect union of people.

I have to point out that I have noticed I am in a very special situation. Having grown up with 4 parents; both parents were remarried by the time I was 10, having had an entire new addition; step siblings (3 of them), having my sister's husband's family (we are all VERY close) and my cousin's wives...my goodness....I couldn't be happier than a pig in shit. LOL I know that some of you are thinking....yes....you have those too. I am sure you do! However....I consider my cousins to be like brothers. I consider my bro-in law's brothers...to be my brothers. We are all so so so very close....that when I think about my wedding...(LMAO)...and I am already doing the head count...I probably have 100 people....just on my side alone. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I couldn't have happier or more thankful for my family...and of course my friends. My life is as brilliant as it is...because I have these people.

So this is for all of you!!!!

I LOVE MY TRAINER!!!!

I am sad I only see her once a week one on one. Man.....I feel like I want to start a foundation for myself; Fund Paula's Emotional Maintenance. LMAO

I know that sounds silly....but hear me out; during the week I tend to compile my negative energy. There is no way for it to get out. I can't beat up some random person. I can't beat up a friend (or maybe I can....lol...jokes!). I can't beat up a family member. I could take anger management classes...but that wouldn't be sufficient. I do go to the gym on my own...but that simply isn't the same. Bottom line....

I NEED MORE WORKOUTS WITH MY TRAINER!

She is the only one/thing that manages to remove all excess & negative energy. It is sort of miraculous.

We didn't do any boxing yesterday however, the shit she has me doing....would put out Rocky Balboa for goodness sakes. The fact that these exercises take WAY MORE energy not just physically but mentally...is how I get to be at peace after a workout with her. As P.Diddy would say in the movie 'Get Him To The Greek'....I have to 'mind f&^%' myself...lol....in order to achieve this exercise and accomplish the action properly. This is my salvation!!!!

Today, I am feeling refreshed, relaxed, calm and I have peace in my mind/soul and heart....all from one hour with my trainer!

I think I need this everyday folks...well....that's greedy....I could use at least 2 more days with her. Does anyone want to contribute to my foundation? Also included in the distribution of the funds is my tattoos.

LMAO!!!

Have a fabulous day!

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Big sigh.....

Hello to my favourite people in the world.....how are you today? It's absolutely gorgeous outside...a little brisk but I won't complain! Mr. Sun is out....that's all I need!

So today I haven't got one particular topic I want to discuss...more of a mishmash of thoughts that I need to get off my chest.

I am sitting here at my computer; my little nerd of a dog is passed out on my right. I look over at him and can't help but smile. My goodness! I am so totally in love with this dog. He is everything I could have ever dreamt of in a dog. Thank you to my angels for giving him to me.

I left my course early today....was falling asleep and felt like I could be more productive at home...with my computer. To be perfectly honest, I don't like having to wait till the end of the day to write my blogs. I feel pent up and not emotionally relaxed throughout the day when I have to wait to write. Interesting....no?

I am feeling sluggish lately. I know this is directly related to the lack of workouts in my weekly regime. It sucks! Come next week....all is back to normal and I can get back to my morning blogging, my weeknight and weekend workouts. YAY!

Not sure if you've noticed....not too much commentary on men. This is because I haven't been dating and I have terminated all connections with my man toys. Why you ask? No time and no energy really. I said this to one of my classmates who is a friend from way back and is a man. He laughed hysterically at me for saying that comment. Called me out on my bs...lol! I still stand by that comment though....to a certain degree. I am truly in a phase where I can't be bothered to spend time on Eharmony and I simply don't have it in me to push for communication on it. I guess you could say I am tired!!! I have in turn upped the ante on my social outings. I have been physically getting out there. This hasn't yielded any success either. LOL It's all good though. When I say I am busy....I mean that! If I was to place a man (worthy of monogamy) into my life equation....I think I would have to get a bigger agenda to fit all my shit in. Meh....it’s a good thing I don't have any potentials in the running right now! Or maybe not! Whateves....I am not sad!

Monday, April 11, 2011

How does that phrase go?

Happy to see you...sad to see you go? Something like that! You get the idea!

So...yesterday was the last day with my bff. I am so so so thankful for her visit. I feel like it came at a really critical time for me. With that said, I am feeling totally replenished and with great spirits....to get back to the grind of life. Thank you darling! Tons of love for you!

This weekend was action packed. I know I mentioned this on Friday. Needless to say, I took yesterday to recover and made the most of it by getting zen with couch and my little nugget. Just remembering the day, Chori...had half of his body (upper half) under the blanket totally hidden and the other half was exposed. He slept like that for a least an hour. Too funny!

I am super excited about this evening....going to see a movie in the theatre; Suckerpunch. Hitting that up in IMAX with my karaoke partner in crime. Should be fun. Haven't seen a movie in theatre for ages. It was 'The Tourist' back in January. Love movies! Watched 2 yesterday; Social Network (for the second time) and Burlesque (for the second time). Loved both of them. By the end of yesterday....I was so inspired and determined to become a facebook employee slash burlesque singer/dancer. LMAO Still am....although now I have my practical hat on and have decided to be a little more strategic with my life's ambitions. Can't I do it all??? LOL

Well folks....here's me hoping everyone has a wicked Monday. Can you believe this weather? It's about time!!! Peace out! xo P

Who am I kidding?!

Last night was a pretty spectacular evening people. I mean that! I attempted to do some cooking for two of my bffs. I really intended on cooking this fabulous meal for them. I started planning it a couple weeks ago. My ever so helpful mom made a really great recipe suggestion that, had I done it correctly....would have been amazing. However...it seemed to be slightly overwhelming and my girls took over part of the meal while I was dealing with the 'more complex' portion of it. I was looking after the noodles and sauce. LOL! The girls looked after the fish. We were supposed to come together perfectly...but seeing as I haven't really honed in on my cooking skills....I fell behind and missed a very important ingredient. POOH! The girls came to my rescue and saved the day. YAY!
The dinner was a complete success and it was absolutely delicious.

The evening was followed by a some drinks and singing at my one bf's bar...where she works. It was such a pleasure to be in the company of these ladies...altogether under one roof. We were joined by another one of my dear friends...was a pleasure to have him join in the festivities. It happens so seldom...that it was a real treat that I am so thankful for. I have been having an incredible time since my bff came into town.

Tonight will be the big bang out night for her, for me and the rest of the team that will be joining us....which will be about 30 people. Big party....great times!!! SO EXCITED! I will be pulling out the big ones....as in my sexy royal blue suede stilettos....LOL!

I hope everyone has a kick ass weekend...as I know I will! See you on the flip side! xoxo P

Just give me my licence already....would ya? LOL

LOL. I think I should be selling real estate right now. I am so beside myself with excitement, I can barely contain it. It is so empowering to know that I have the skills necessary to be successful in this industry. Some of the key elements are; math, reading, writing, English, drawing, construction, plotting, schmoozing, patience, presentation, communication, listening skills, walking, researching, resourcefulness, humour, charm, great looks, confidence, understanding and finally; heart.

I think I have 17 out of 21. Not bad!!!! LOL

So today's class was about learning the structure of a home and its many variations, about zoning by-laws, building permits and fire safety. I honestly have to say...that chapter about home structures was the most fun. We had to draw a house and all its elements. Good times! My peers gave my drawing an A-. WTF is that? LOL....I had the best and most representative drawing of them all!!!! Bastards...lol (jk)!

Moving along, tomorrow evening is the beginning of a shit show, metaphorically speaking (had to clarify...just in case). I am writing this plan out today...cause I am sure I will not get to share tomorrow. I will be picking up 2 of my best ladies right after school to run a few errands before going back to my place for some of my home cooking. EEEKKK!! LOL Then we will head to a bar where one of my girl's works at for some drinks and karaoke...YAY! We will be joined by one of my other favorite people on this planet. Should be a great night. Will let you know on Friday! Friday night will be the epitome of a great time. BIG PARTY going on in my hood. Will share those details on Friday. Saturday will be about minimal recovery time, my first showing with my mom, a workout (if possible) then a visit with another dear gf who's in town from Montreal...and then the last event with my bff from Europe. She is leaving me on Sunday. SAD!!!!!

So there it is folks! No rest for the wicked! xo P

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

A hint of a Brilliance.....may be an understatement!

LOL!!!

I feel totally rewarded today. A few things happened today, nothing special (yet) but definitely rewarding none-the-less.

I love nothing more than being helpful to my friends and family. I feel like I have achieved so much and have done my job in life, when a friend or family member tells me that I have done something great for them.

One of my dearest friends gave me a ton of love for setting her up with a potential connection for one of her passions in life; acting. I have a friend who is in the entertainment business and he was looking for someone to fill a void in a commercial and I knew that my gf would fit the role like a glove and so, I did what hopefully any of you would do....hook them up! He has his actor and she has her role. LOVE IT!

I am still waiting for the final product, but from what I have heard...one of my marketing creations for my mom's real estate business has turned out to be a hot item. If it turns out the way I hope it turns out, this could turn into something so great...that I will finally feel like I have found my niche in the world of business.

I want nothing more than my dad to be happy and content with his real estate goals and I trying with all my might to help out in the best way that I can. He has property he wants to sell and buy. I am working with my mom to fulfill this transaction and make it roll out as smoothly as possible. I just hope my dad receives it this way...lol! We'll soon see! Fingers crossed on this one team!

Finally, I have been in my real estate course for 2 days now and my peers, that I sit with already have a firm grasp of me and my character. On the one hand I have to ask; am I really so transparent? I mean, I try to be to a certain extent...but my goodness....they got me all figured out just after 2 days. WOW!!! Which simply reiterates my title for today; they think I am brilliant!!! LMAO Jokes

Peace out world! xo P

Living it up!!!

Happy Monday folks!!! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend...like I did!!! LOL

So Friday I went to the home opener Blue Jays game. I do have to applaud the Jays for winning big time. But...I am going to put through an official complaint about the shit that goes with going to a game....$$$$$$
I am going to break it down for you....
1) the price you pay for a ticket...which would usually be pretty cheap for nose bleed section...except on home opening night
2) $20 for parking ANYWHERE within a 10 mile radius of the Rogers centre
3) $10 for a beer....and you can't just have one during a 3 hour game man
But whateves....had a fabulous time in the presence of my fabulous team!!! Love you all!!!

Saturday went up north to visit my bff...the one who is in town from Europe. She was staying at her mom's in a cute little town north of Collingwood. We spent the day sitting outside on the porch getting some kick ass sun drinking wine till 7pm at which point another gf joined in the fun. We continued to drink wine...us 3 ladies (bff, her mom and I)...while the gf who recently joined us....drank sparkling grapefruit juice; she's preggos! We had cheese fondue for dinner.....OMG!!!! LOVE IT!!!!! Yummmy!!! Kept drinking wine and more wine....chatting, laughing, having a brilliant time until it was time for dessert which consisted of chocolate ice cream with berries. Again....YUMMY!!!! So friggin great, I tell you! Then.....we all passed out! LOL

Sunday we all went for breakfast at a leisurly pace. We ate and had wonderful chats about life, friends, family and all the stuff in between. So thankful for those moments. It's what makes life worth living...time spent with loved ones! Our preggo friends leaves us and the 3 musketeers....venture into a 2.5 hour yoga retreat which actually lasted for 3.5 hours. My goodness!!! I think I would have taken more from it...had I not been totally congested. Most of the program was about breathing and eliminating toxins...through breathing. Well...I think my body is still polluted....at least until tomorrow when I see my trainer for some boxing! YAY!
Then...was the drive home.....YUCK!!! Why are we still getting snow? WTF?

Well folks....that's all she wrote....for today! Peace out! xo P

The Jays, Drinks and Yoga!!! Good times!

Happy Friday folks! I hope everyone is getting pumped for a great weekend...as I am!!!

First on the agenda....
Happy Belated Birthday to my bestest little man! Chorizo's birthday was yesterday and being ever so sick...the mucous took over and I missed to send him my virtual love. Here is to you Mr.!!!!

Starting tonight...my weekend is action packed....oy!!! I am feeling better, thankfully but not quite 100% and I  know that starting at 7pm....things are going to get a little crazy. Going to go see the opening Jay's game with my Toronto team. SO EXCITED! I don't particularly like the Jays however, I thoroughly enjoy the ambiance and the energy of going to the Rogers Center. Are the drinks as expensive as they are at the ACC? Hmmmm!!!! LOL

Then tomorrow, its off to Collingwood to spend some time with my bff from Europe who will be staying with her momma. Chorizo and I are going to be taking our first real road trip. Should be interesting...lol! Not sure what the itinerary will be upon arrival....but who cares just want to hang with the ladies. I am sure there will be some great food and of course drinks. Sunday....the 3 of us are going to do this 2.5 hour yoga thing...not entirely sure what that is all about...but I am sure I will benefit from all of it. Always good to do some meditation and get some deep down relaxation.

And then....come Monday....I am in real estate boot camp!!! EEEEEKKKK.....I just realized....I will not be able to do my early morning posts.....SHIT!!!!! Pooh folks....my daily posts won't happen till 5pm or so in the afternoon!!! Oh well.....ce la vie, right? LOL With that said....see you Monday afternoon! Have a wonderful weekend!

Peace out! xoxo P
