Ok....so no dreams last night. But then again....I only slept 3 hours. I don't think that is enough time to get into an REM sleep. LOL
With that said; forgive me in advance if my writing seems to be slightly askew today. My eyeballs are dry and sort of burning. Not to mention that I had an intense workout with my trainer yesterday and I am also feeling the pain there. I really do belong in bed. GRRRR!!!
Had a great night at the bar last night. Smooth sailing. Love those nights!
I trust that you will all have a pleasant weekend. Mine starts with an afternoon nap making sure to get up in time to get ready for my bff's 30th birthday party tonight. VERY exciting stuff! Tomorrow will TRY to do a workout aside from completing a list of chores all before I work at the bar at 7pm. Sunday will be all about relaxation until about 5pm at which point my sister is hosting a family BBQ. Monday; SLEEP!!!!
Well folks....I have a lot more on my brain to communicate.....but the lats, biceps,triceps and forearms are all struggling to help my hands make any movement towards typing. Painful (but in a good way)!!
Till Tuesday; much love! Be safe!! xo P

WEIRD!!!!
Here we go again folks....another really messed up dream. I really don't know what to say about these anymore. They are really messing up my sleep and unlike every other time; last night I had to go the bathroom 3 times during my sleep. This rarely happens. I will ,once in a blue moon, go once.....but 3 times? VERY ODD!!
In this dream, there was a lot of water....like bodies of water, like a lake. I was always right by this lake. When I was indoors I was primarily on the toilet and entertaining conversations with people while on the toilet!! What the f*** is that about? At one point, there was an outdoor potty; in the ground, sort of like they had in Paris once upon a time. I was sitting on this outdoor potty totally exposed to the world and I was just sitting there trying to do a #2 (LMAO...forgive my detailed description) and people were standing beside me talking to me as if this was normal. I can't remember how many times I went to the bathroom in my dream but it felt like when I wasn't by the water....doing whatever, I was on the toilet!
All I can do is shake my head!!!! So so so at a loss of what to do about my dreams. They are taking over! (This baby expresses my emotion....perfectly!!!)
Totally unrelated; I am going for a workout today with my trainer....YAY!!!! It took me 3 days to recover from last week's workout. Let's see what today's workout has in store for me. LOL

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
So much greatness in my life!!! I am incredibly thankful!! Thank you angels and world!!!
Speaking of greatness, I got to spend a wonderful evening with Mr. Fabulous! I had to go buy some pots too cook with...with all the intentions of coming home to cook with them. Ha!!! I was starving by the time I got home from work. I was starving while shopping for the pots. I knew there was no way I could handle cooking for 45 minutes...waiting to eat. So....we went out for dinner. LOL!!! After a very enjoyable meal on a patio we went back to my house for some much needed relaxation. He snoozed and cuddled with my little turd (of a dog..lol) while I watched Limitless. Man....I love that movie! I had my 2 best men all snuggled up with me....slice of heaven I tell ya!
Needless to say I am in great spirits. Love these moments!!!
Well folks...that's all I got for today!!! xo P

Welcome home!!!
So one of my bffs is home from Montreal. So great to have her home and so so great to see her! Got to spend the evening with her; drinking wine and chatting. Good times. She will be celebrating her 30th birthday this coming Friday and its going to be a a douzy of a party. Super jazzed for that.
Just read that my dear friends who just got married 2 weekends ago have returned from their honeymoon vacation. Happy to hear they made is safely. Can't wait to hear the holiday details and see pictures.
Welcome home team!!!
I have been spending a lot of time thinking about a mini vacation for myself. I ABSOLUTELY need a vacation even if it is only 2 days out of the city. That is all I am asking for. I have been doing some research and found a couple nice places to stay in one of the beach towns that we have on Lake Huron. I have only 2 opportunities to make this happen. I have spoken to Mr. Fabulous about this; he's trying to arrange his schedule so that he can join me. Still waiting to hear back from him on this matter.
Since I have decided that I am going to take this mini trip, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Uggghhhh!!!! Need to see beach, sand, water (swimable water...lol!), need to get far away from the city and phones. I NEED TO TAP OUT!!! Fingers crossed for me folks. I hope my plans materialize into something great.
Doesn't that look friggin amazing? That is where I am going....NO MATTER WHAT!!!! LOL
Until then; its work and some play. Tonight Mr. Fabulous and I are going to do a little shopping. Nothing wrong with some retail therapy. I should tell you I am going shopping for some cooking pots. Good times...lol!!!
Happy Tuesday to all! xo P

Sleeeeeeeeeepy........
Happy Monday folks! How was everyone's weekend? Mine was action packed and now I am left feeling exhausted. So so so tired! I think I am going to go to bed at 8pm tonight...right after my workout! LOL
I had to work Friday night and that was ok. I have a couple qualms about how things are going there but will try to sort them out. No need to discuss them here today. I got to bed really late and woke up sort of early but for a totally good reason; Mr. Fabulous was coming over...to make me breakfast. SO GREAT! Had eggs sunny side up with bacon and toast. MMMMMM!!!! Had some coffee with that. Breakfast of champs! Got to spend a few hours relaxing with him and then the action was to begin at 2pm. Had a lot of running around to do before my dad was to arrive at my house. He came by for 4pm. We hung out for a bit than went to grab my step mom who was at another bday party and from there went to my dad's bday party at my mom's. That evening/night was awesome. So great to have the fam all together plus friends of the family in from Argentina. I also had Mr. Fabulous and a couple of my gfs over. GREAT NIGHT!!!
Yesterday was a brilliant day. I got to be out on the water. My gf's friend has a boat in Port Credit. Spent the afternoon/evening on it. We went out on a couple rides. So so great to have the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. I think I got some great colour. Man....I miss the water. I live right by it....but that isn't the same as being on it. You know?
And here we are with our first rainy day in ages it feels like. Not to mention; finally experiencing some lighter weather in terms of heat. Was getting slightly put off by the relentless humidity. This is the perfect day to stay in and watch movies....and sleep!!! Yup....that is my plan, after work! LOL
Till tomorrow folks! xo P

Border line comatose but smiling......
Oh goodness.....my eyes are bloodshot and I look like I have been up for hours, which is partially true. I only got 3.5 hours sleep between my bartending shift last night and working at the office this morning. Pulled a 16 hour workday yesterday...and will do so again today!
The shift went WAY better than I had expected. I really don't know why I worried so much and why I thought it would be so much worse than it was. I have to say that I am slightly impressed with myself...lol! For each person that I recognized (which was virtually everyone), I seemed to also remember their drinks. It's been 7 months since I have worked there and did that job, to remember someone's drink? Not too shabby! Of course a couple of the usual suspects came but I will give them some credit; well behaved and....I think I got a sort of apology from a couple of them. Not really an apology but rather they expressed their humility. I will take that! My evening started with some good company; one of my bffs. THANK YOU so much for getting me started on a good foot. Luvs!
It was karaoke night...and you know I feel about that!!!! I sang 3 songs and that was difficult to achieve. So so busy; so so hard to get away. When I have almost the whole bar of folk telling me to get up there and sing....can't let my customers down...you know? LOL Sang the usual; Bonnie Raitt's Let's Give Them Something To Talk About, Pink's Like a Pill and finally Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry. Rocked each one!! Some info clips; I have made it a rule of thumb to NOT drink while working. So, I sang these songs completely sober. Having a crowd that loves you? Nothing like it! I honestly sang those songs...the best that I have ever sung those songs. So great to be back; temporarily!
So today is Friday. Almost forgot that for a moment. For some reason; doesn't feel like Friday! We already know what my day will be like today but tomorrow.....going be a great day! I get to sleep in. Mr. Fabulous is coming over and making me breakfast. YAY!!!!! Then I am getting to see a couple fabulous women in the afternoon before my Dad's 60th bday party. LOVE IT!!!! Finally on Sunday will get to veg out and I will make sure to do it right!!! LOL
Have safe and great weekend folks! xo P

It happened!!!!
I haven't felt this much pain in a long while...so it is sort of welcome. I can only laugh at my struggles to walk, sit and basically do any movement at all. My goodness! Yesterday's workout...was in fact killer! I could tell yesterday even. Walking up and down stairs....my thighs are in lock down. Today...I feel it EVERYWHERE. But...it is a great pain...that I simply have to endure and take like a champ. Although...tonight is my first night working at the bar and I am slightly overwhelmed with mixed emotions; excitement, nervousness and fear. It won't go away until I am there right in it. Wish me luck folks!!! Going to need it!
I had horrible nightmares last night...about my first night back at this bar. I can't even go over the details with you. Just horrible!!! With that said, I didn't have a productive sleep at all. Usually this wouldn't matter all that much because at the end of the day...I get to go home and relax. Not today! Not ever on Thursdays and Fridays now. From my 8 hour workday at the office....I pull another 8 hour shift at the bar. There are 2 hours in between the shifts. Not nearly enough time for much more than a cat nap and a bite to eat. These two particular days will morph into 16 hour days. YAY!!! Not!!! It's cool! I have done this so many times before and it really is all about making money.
Last night I was in the company of Mr. Fabulous. Had to pack in some much needed R n R with guy. Haven't spent nearly enough quality time with him in awhile. We relaxed for a bit and looked after my dog before heading out to get some food. From there went back to my house to look after the nerd one more time and then drove to the city to watch a TFC game; TFC vs Dallas. WHAT A GAME!!! LMAO I felt like I was watching a high school soccer match. I apologize to all you hard core TFC fans...and Dallas fans. Seeing as I have a south American background and grew up with German folk....being exposed to top tier soccer games/players has given me a bit of standard. Good times were had non-the-less! Thank you Mr. Fabulous!!!
Yesterday, during my workout with my trainer, we discussed the topic of 'love'. My trainer asked me if I had expressed my emotions for Mr. Fabulous using that terminology to which my reply was no. I have not used the L word. She said "great, let him say if first". LOL I have had it in my mind to hang onto that sacred piece of verbiage until the time was right or until he said it first. That was my plan at least. Well....we all know that shit happens and that not everything works out the way you planned. After the game, we had a bit of a walk to my car from the BMO field. It was a nice stroll. We get in the car and Mr. Fabulous is giving me instruction to notify him of when I am going to close the windows once the AC kicks in. Apparently I have hurt him a couple times in past....LMAO!!! In response to this notification from Mr. Fabulous I said; will do my love!!!! EKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
Slip of the tongue!!! But you know what....I am the kind of person who says this to the people whom I really care about; my dog, my bffs etc. Can't you picture it? Someone (important to you) asks you something or needs something or whatever the case may be...and you say; of course my love. Hmmmm....maybe not! The more I say it/write it....the more I realize....you don't just say that to anyone. Again........EKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! LOL
I wish I could describe Mr. Fabulous' expression....but I was so concerned with my outburst...that I was dealing with feeling sheepish and trying to recover the situation rather than take note of his response to that comment. Now; I did continue to giggle to myself during the ride home and Mr. Fabulous kept asking me why I was giggling and I explained to him what my thoughts were about the whole situation. He was very supportive and good about the whole thing. Thank you for that Mr. Fabulous!!! LOL
So there it is folks; another day in the world of Paula! xo P

Oh ya baby.....
Hey there....
So, I just got back from a killer workout with my trainer. Did some heavy duty kick boxing....love it! I am finally feeling limber again post wedding. Sleeping on a pull out couch last Friday night...really put a kink in my body. Took me the whole hour to get loose and now I feel like a million bucks! YAY!!!
Feeling extra productive today which is always a treat. Obviously today is my day off from the office. I have managed to complete many of my tasks for the day/week. LOVE IT!!! My day will be capped off with a soccer game at the BMO field. This will be my first game EVER! Should be a great time....hope the sun and heat will have some mercy. Mr. Fabulous and myself are going to have dinner somewhere...not too sure yet. Then we'll head to the game.
I can't believe it is already Wednesday. This week is flying by. So great! This weekend is action packed and won't be shy on good times.
Now; I start my bartending job tomorrow evening. Slightly nerve wrecked about it. I have already worked this job at this bar. I am sure it will feel like I never left. I hope it doesn't actually. I left for good reasons. But....now I am back and things will hopefully be great and I will make money! Shall we send some love to my angels so they will back me up on that? LOL
What is up with this weather? Don't get me wrong....I love the sun and the blue sky. This heat however...could be a little bit cooler. See...I don't handle the heat very well....as I am sure most people aren't handling this heat very well. Unlike other people however....I get very sick. I have had heat stroke more times than I can count over my lifetime. I think the first time was when I was 12 in Spain. That was pretty bad. The next time was when I was 16 in Hawaii. That was also really bad. It took me those two lessons to realize what I can and cannot handle. Now I know better but have still suffered a few more times. LOL
People....get waterside and stay cool!!! That is my plan....before I hit up the soccer game! Have a great day folks! xo P

Noodles!!!
It is 9:11am and I feel like I have put in a full days work already. Its been that kind of day. The phone calls, the organizing of events, the scheduling of appointments and arrangement of tasks...all started at 7am. EWWWW!!!!! I would usually be angry...seeing as I hadn't had a coffee when all of this started going down....but for some reason...just feels like it had to be done...and therefore it is all good!
I am going to take a second here to wish my incredible Dad....Happy Birthday!!! He is celebrating his 60th today.....
![]()
Rock on Dad!!!
Will be having din din with him tonight....and then really blowing it out on Saturday at his bday bash!
Today feels like a good day...even though it is supposed to reach 32 degrees. When it gets that hot...I literally feel like a wilted flower. With that said, I blast the A/C. Now...without sounding like a true air head...I just discovered that when you blast the A/C in your car....it consumes WAY more gas. Is that right? Or is my car doing something wrong? Can someone shed some light on this for me?
Well folks...that's all I got for today. I am just looking at my to do list...and it is looking pretty extensive. Need to get started!
Peace, love and rock n roll! xo P

Phewwwwww!!!!
Ok....I am exhausted!!!! Partially because of the copious amounts of energy expended over the weekend and partially because of this friggin humidity. My goodness!!! My eyelids feel like they weigh about 100lbs (an exaggeration...but only slightly).
So...the bride and groom....now married are probably driving up the coast of San Fransisco right about now. The wedding was a smash. So incredibly beautiful and it flowed like water. Seamless! Of course they had an amazing friggin team behind them....including myself!! LOL
And now...its back to life as usual. Lovin it! I miss my workouts...a lot! I am getting right back into it starting tonight. I haven't done a Zumba class in 3 weeks. EKKKKK! Bring it on! LOL
Of course there is no rest for the wicked. Now I have my own personal shit list to get through. This wedding had put a hold on just about everything. I am not complaining. I wouldn't have had it any other way. I am overly excited to see the pictures....which I am sure will come in a couple weeks, hopefully sooner. I made some new friends, solidified old friendships and got to be apart of something so special. I am touched!!!
I will say this....I miss Mr. Fabulous A LOT!!! I haven't seen him since last Thursday and that is way too long ago. As it turns out...I won't be able to see him tonight. Tomorrow night is a maybe. We have solid plans for Wednesday....and if I have to wait that long...it will have been a whole week. YUCK!!!! No good! I am supposed to be seeing more of him...not less of him!!
I hope you all had an awesome weekend as I did! Happy Monday to all! xo P

WOW!!!
I am upset that I didn't get to blog yesterday. I feel like there is a void when I miss a day. What you need to know is that some serious shit needs to go down in order to hold me back from writing. This means....that some major shit went down yesterday.
Let's back track! On Wednesday I made a quip about flying high and clarifying that it wasn't a trip based on drugs. I read in the paper on Wednesday about the government preparing to pass some laws regarding the restrictions on prescribing pharmaceutical drugs and the administration of such drugs. Man...was I happy to hear about that. It is really about friggin time. I lived with a pharmaceutical junkie for 17 months and more over...put up with her addiction for 8 years. You ask....why did I put up with it? Well...not that this is the point of the blog....but, I met her when she was happy and healthy. We built our friendship on solid grounds. After 2 years of greatness....she suffered a major breakdown and succumbed to her ailments and decided to give up on life....scratch that....give up on productivity.
Why did I decide to live with her? I figured we could help each other. She needed to get out of the environment that she lived in. As did I! We both needed a roommate for shared expenses. It just seemed to fit. Not to mention....we both share a passion for dogs and I was determined to get one. I knew I could count on her to help and raise the most brilliant dog ever. We did succeed with this FYI!!!
After about 3 months things got difficult. She got difficult. I tried to break lease unsuccessfully. Whatever! Had to move on. After the one year lease....her ex bf was coming back into the picture. She moved out with me to get away from him. It went from him spending one night a week at our place to almost whole entire weeks at a time. On the one hand I was very concerned with this....but on the other hand I was financially strapped due to unemployment and I had to become resourceful. My roommate and I discussed him moving in....spread the load of expenses. So he did move in! The 3 of us lived together for 6 months at which point I was exhausted with the scene and had to go. I knew almost right away (once the bf moved in) that I was going to have to leave. I gave my notice 6 months in advance....before my move out date. The month before I am leaving...the 3 of us sit down. I watched them fill out another lease and the 3 of us submitted it to our superintendent. Note: aside from this lease, every piece of documentation I gave to the super, I sent to management registered mail. I don't f*** around!
So my move out date comes around and I am gone like the wind! I made sure everything was in order...to the last detail. Remember...I am slightly OCD!!!
Fast track to yesterday; I get a letter in the mail from small claims court ordering a garnishment of my wages for owing $2600 of rent in arrears. Naturally I had a minor heart attack. Apparently my ex ex roommate and her bf didn't pay 2 months rent. The horribly nasty superintendent didn't process their application and therefore the lease that I had with this girl (although expired) was the last binding document which entitled management to come after me. My mom and I fly into overdrive to deal with this friggin mess. CLEARLY....this is not right!!!! We go to small claims in Toronto...can't help us there. We go to the Housing Tribunal in the same building.....can't help us there. Just to figure this out took all morning. We had to go to the Tribunal in Mississauga...and this happens to be where I spent the entire afternoon. At the end of it all....I had to battle to get a suspension on the order for garnishment. I succeeded with that...thankfully! I had to plead my case in order to get another hearing so that I could clear my name. WHAT A DAY!!! Still have one more day of unpaid wages and battling to get through...but man....at least they aren't stealing my money from me right now. EKKKKK!!!!!
I want to revisit my thoughts in paragraph 2; new laws on pharmaceutical admin. This person that I have been talking about is the epitome of what I hate about our society. As a tax payer, hard worker and productive citizen, I am paying for this person to (pardon my French) 'fuck the dog!' She is government subsidized. Her meds are paid for by the government (FYI; her meds cost $1400/month). She doesn't have to work! She isn't forced to get help in order to recover and get back into society! She can tell the doctor to increase her prescriptions! She has been in this system for 8 years. I am disgusted and I want to vomit in my mouth when I think that I am busting my ass....everyday of my life to pay for this woman to sit on her ass and get high everyday....happily. I am not naive...there are thousands upon thousands of people milking our system and I am beyond angry with it.
With these new laws, finally and thankfully, people will be closely monitored with their drug use. Doctors will be more accountable for their prescriptions. All narcotics will be logged and monitored. They will not be able to get away with murder as they have been for too many years. Today is a good day!
I generally don't blog about politics....but this just happened to hit home!!!
Happy Friday world!!! Peace love and rock n roll! xo P

Oh ya baby......laughing and crying....all at once!
Ever have those days, weeks where you are flying high? High as in nothing can bring you down...not high as in stoned! I do have a thought about that last sentiment....will get back to it another day.
I have been riding this wave of total and utter joy for a couple weeks now. I can nail it down to 3 specifics;
1. My new apartment
2. Mr. Fabulous
3. My bff's wedding
The combination of greatness from all 3 of these substantially awesome elements...is almost overwhelming. I LOVE IT!!! The wedding is fast approaching and I am totally ready. I hope the bride is to....lmao!!! I put the whole outfit; dress, pumps and sash on for my trainer today. It was almost as if it was my wedding day. She cried and in turn...I cried! We both cried. Why you ask? I will save this subject for another day. Remind me!!! LOL The great thing about this dress...is that I can wear it again. The same can be said for the shoes...obviously. I practised today how I am going to do my make up.....lookin good! SUPER FRIGGIN EXCITED. I was daydreaming while driving this morning...envisioning standing almost beside the bride....looking at her in her gorgeous white dress....with a slight stomach from the incredible little thing growing inside her....and I cried. Oy!! I am going to be crying a lot. I can tell! I am such a sap when it comes to weddings and OTHER people have babies. I love this woman....I love that her and her man are FINALLY getting married...and I LOVE that they are having a baby. So much greatness. Blows my mind! Tearing up as we speak!! OY!!!! LOL
I was in the presence of Mr. Fabulous last night. The man continues to render me speechless. Sometimes I catch him looking at me as I look at him. When this happens....we keep each other's gaze for a few moments...and then laugh. Then he calls me weird!! LMAO While he says....he has no thoughts....just looking, in my mind....I have 10 million thoughts. MEN!!!! I am going to say this out loud....to the world....
He's got me! I am head over heels....!!! As much as I went through hell and back in the man department...for pretty much my whole dating life...it was all worth it! I have finally been given this gift....a gift of a brilliant man. I feel as though he's on this planet....just for me. THANK YOU ANGELS!!!
Finally....my apartment! This morning I woke up at 6:30. No idea why! Just couldn't sleep anymore. I didn't actually have to get up till 8. So there I am...wide awake...thinking....WTF to do!! LOL I get up put on some clothes and take the turd out for a walk. Get back, give him breakfast and make some coffee for myself. We snuggled up on the couch and watched a portion of The Tourist. I finally had to get ready to go to my trainer's for 9am. Needed to be there a little early to show her my dress...as previously mentioned. After a killer workout I went back home to shower. Now...what you don't know is that I have a stereo embedded into the wall in the living room (the apartment came this way)....and this stereo has a console in each room. I have volume and track control in each room! How cool is that?!!! This includes the bathroom. So....I blast my new album of Sublime with Rome (that Mr. Fabulous gave me) while showering. I have NEVER had this luxury....and man....it is a luxury!!! I think I almost cried while showering...LMAO!!!!
I realize that I may seem extra sensitive today...I will agree with that acknowledgment. I will not apologize for it however. I am 31 years old and I am having the time of my life. Once again....THANK YOU to my angels and more importantly to my friends and Mr. Fabulous!!!!
I am spreading the love to you all!!! Happy Hump Day!!! xo P

Battling.....
Good day folks. I am still struggling with this headache that I got on Sunday. When I woke up this morning...as soon as I opened my eyes...there it was. Ugggghhhhh!!!! Hate headaches. They are sort of debilitating. I did pop some Advil before coming into work and I am now drinking my extra large Country Style coffee that really is the highlight of my day....lol!!!
Yesterday, although under the weather, was incredibly productive. Thank goodness for my angel of a mother. I always need her help making serious decisions...lol! I went shoe shopping. YAY!!! This is how good I am; I walk into the store that I only had eyes for....ALDO! I had already spent much time scoping out the selection on their online catalogue. Walking in...I knew I would be walking out with shoes. I pick 2 pairs off the shelf within 1.5 minutes. Of the 2....I knew exactly which ones I was going to take....but I had to give myself a selection and I had to sell my mom on them. At first she was hesitant...but then I told her to put them on.....and after that.....we were checking out! LOL
Shoes down! Earrings to go! From there we went to a couple jewelry stores...found nothing. We had to go to The Bay to get some booty shorts for the dress...and on the way....my eye caught this black pair of chandelier earrings.....that twinkled in the light. BOOM!!! SOLD!!! LOL
Shoes, earring and booty shorts......CHECK!!! I am totally ready for this wedding. Only 2 things left to do; a) figure out the makeup thing and b) get my hair done the day of.
Totally unrelated topic....I am seeing Mr. Fabulous this evening. Very much looking forward to that. When I was chatting with him yesterday....knowing that I was under the weather...he suggested that we reschedule our plans today for another day to which I replied....NO!!!! LOL I might have a headache...but...being in his presence lifts my spirits, puts a smile on my face, will probably make me forget I have the headache altogether...and finally....I asked him to give me a body rub....LMAO!!! You know....to relax me! He said he would!!!!! What a friggin GEM of a man!!!!
Have you guys noticed that my blogs are getting longer? Yesterday's was a page and a half.....which equates to 500 words or so. Really not relevant....just an observation.
World......till tomorrow!!! xo P

Only one......
Good day world! I would love to say to Happy Monday...but I am nursing a blistering headache...since yesterday. I would have stayed home from work except...I spent way more money this weekend than I had initially intended to...and therefore...not working is not an option.
Friday...what can I say about Friday? Nothing! Don't feel like discussing that day!
Saturday.....yay Saturday! LOL
Saturday was the bachelorette party for my bff. Everything had been confirmed the day before...everything was on track....right up until one of the party of 4 decided to bail at the very last minute. Now...my very first thought was one of relief...because we all know how I feel about this person. This thought was immediately followed by a harsh reality check that with this person being a no-show...the expenses for the event would be spread across 2 people rather than 3. OUCH!!!!! PAINFULL!!!! I am not going to say anything more about this at this time.
So...as the angels had intended....there were 3 of us; my bff, the maid of honor and myself. We got picked up in a stretch limo at the MOH's house at 1:30. We spent the next 2 hours socializing, sharing, gossiping and all those things that ladies do while on our way to Niagara-on-the-lake. We finally arrive at this BRILLIANTLY gorgeous hotel right on the water called Harbour House Inn (http://www.niagarasfinest.com/properties/harbourhouse/). It is a boutique style inn that not only is 10/10 in ambiance and chic-ness....I give the service a 10/10. From the minute you walk in the door to the minute you walk out of that door for your departure...it is a slice of heaven. We got a suite to accommodate the 4 of us...forgive me the 3 of us. We were treated like rockstars the whole way through. I made sure to have champagne and non-alcoholic champagne with chocolate covered strawberries in the room upon arrival. Apparently they dip the fresh strawberries into their own chocolate...mmmmm!!!! So...we spent some time with all of this in the incredible room. We were holding out for the hotel to have their wine and cheese offering. We hit that up and sat on their patio and shot the shit while getting some sun. So great! We had dinner reservations at this fab resto on the strip called Bristo Six One. I was expecting to meander our way there...but the hotel being so awesome...they have shuttle service. Rockstars....that we were!
All of us are dressed up, looking hot and sporting our bachelorette paraphernalia. We stood out like sore thumbs to say the least. We enjoyed a scrumptious meal and we almost had to be rolled out of the restaurant. FYI; I was the only one drinking. We all know the the bride is preggos and the MOH was under the weather...so I was pulling the weight for the 3 of us. LMAO Needless to say I was hammered by the time dinner was done and sporting stilettos...was a difficult task to say the least. We walked around a bit trying to burn off some part of the dinner we just ate...then quickly decided to call the shuttle bus to pick us up. We were looking forward to borrowing a couple movies from the hotel's Blockbuster selection and getting all settled into bed to watch them and continue eating chocolate covered strawberries along with the awesome desserts that the MOH brought. Being as hammered as I was....I watched the opening credits and immediately passed out. Like the champ that I am...I woke up right on cue for the ending credits. LMAO And then I passed out again!
We all woke up fresh as can be for 8:30am. We got ready and went for the continental breakfast which was everything you would want it to be. Again...excellent service and excellent food! From there we went back to the room to pack up and rest for a few before hitting up the town for some shopping. We conquered the whole strip in just shy of 3 hours. We did some shopping and stopped for a mid day refreshment. So so great! At this point...we are spent from the walking and the heat. We were very much looking forward to getting back into the limo for our ride home. We got in and the 3 of us spilled out all over the limo. All splayed out....what a scene! LOL
It was a brilliant time and I am so thankful to have these girls in my life. They are such beautiful people and I love that I get to participate in their lives. Thank you both girls!
Till tomorrow folks! xo P

It's going to be friggin interesting....!!!!
Happy Friday world! So the weather people say we are supposed to have a kick ass weekend in terms of no rain, great sun and warm temperatures that won't kill you; all good things!
Starting at 4pm my life will become super hectic until Sunday night. Right after work I have to hustle to get my bridesmaid dress. This will be my second (actually third) fitting. Hopefully they got it right and there will be no more changes. We'll see. From there I get to run into Mr. Fabulous to pick up some concert tickets for a friend at which point I will head back to my hood, pick up my little nerd (Chorizo) from my mom's, go home and get ready and then drive to Toronto to drop off my dog at my dad's for the weekend. From there...I pick up my bff and finally chill out over dinner and drinks with this fabulous woman. Somewhere in there, I will need to deliver those concert tickets. Could either do it tonight or tomorrow morning. EKKKK!!!
Tomorrow I have to get packed and ready for the Bachelorette Party. Need to be at my gf's (the maid of honor) house for 12:30. I would really really love to share the details with you...but seeing as the bride still has no clue what the plans are....I can't share them with you just yet. Just know...we are heading out of town until Sunday afternoon. Why I say in the title; 'it's going to be interesting...!' is because...I will be spending 24 hours in very close proximity to my ex roommate whom I am sure wants to kick my ass. LMAO!!!! It will be nothing short of an adventure.
Last night, Mr. Fabulous came over. He came over to help me put up my artwork and wall decor. I was expecting to delegate....lmao!!! As it turned out...he wanted to teach me a lesson. He wanted me to learn how to use tools, more specifically power tools. Turns out it is kind of fun. Plus, there is no better moment than that of feeling self sufficient and self reliant. Thank you for that experience Mr. Fabulous!!! We then went out for dinner....always a pleasure! Just an FYI; Mr. Fabulous is not on Facebook. I like this about him. LOL I told him yesterday that I made our 'relationship' official...to my world by changing my relationship status to 'in a relationship' from single. My goodness....I just wrote the word relationship 4 times in 2 sentences. Sorry....ADD moment! He seemed pleased with that although he despises Facebook. To each his own!
Well folks...I hope you all have a brilliant weekend! See you all on the flip side! Peace out!

Tomorrow I have to get packed and ready for the Bachelorette Party. Need to be at my gf's (the maid of honor) house for 12:30. I would really really love to share the details with you...but seeing as the bride still has no clue what the plans are....I can't share them with you just yet. Just know...we are heading out of town until Sunday afternoon. Why I say in the title; 'it's going to be interesting...!' is because...I will be spending 24 hours in very close proximity to my ex roommate whom I am sure wants to kick my ass. LMAO!!!! It will be nothing short of an adventure.
Last night, Mr. Fabulous came over. He came over to help me put up my artwork and wall decor. I was expecting to delegate....lmao!!! As it turned out...he wanted to teach me a lesson. He wanted me to learn how to use tools, more specifically power tools. Turns out it is kind of fun. Plus, there is no better moment than that of feeling self sufficient and self reliant. Thank you for that experience Mr. Fabulous!!! We then went out for dinner....always a pleasure! Just an FYI; Mr. Fabulous is not on Facebook. I like this about him. LOL I told him yesterday that I made our 'relationship' official...to my world by changing my relationship status to 'in a relationship' from single. My goodness....I just wrote the word relationship 4 times in 2 sentences. Sorry....ADD moment! He seemed pleased with that although he despises Facebook. To each his own!
Well folks...I hope you all have a brilliant weekend! See you all on the flip side! Peace out!

I don't know why I still get shocked!
Good morning folks. Happy Thursday! I trust that you are all looking forward to the weekend. I am!!! I will not going to spend today talking about my weekend plans. Today I want to share with you a couple things.
On Tuesday I spoke of someone who challenges my way of life. I don't know why I thought she wouldn't read my blog....but to my surprise...she did. She sent me a message last night regarding the topic that we were speaking of on Tuesday and she did make a point to say she read my blog and that she didn't mean to dispute my intentions. Sometimes I worry when I write my personal feelings on here but when those thoughts enter my mind...they are quickly overshadowed by thoughts of peace and love. I know who I am. I know who I want to be. I am very aware of my actions. I have to trust that my honesty and absolute need to be the way I described on Tuesday....
"I work VERY hard at being diplomatic, efficient, pro-active and overall kind"
... will supersede any negativity that could or would be elicited by writing this blog. I could be wrong...but I am not going to spend anytime festering that notion. Hells no!!!! LOL
Another reason why I am yet again flabbergasted is because Mr. Fabulous has yet again...blown me out of the water. I can safely say that things between us has escalated to another level....which I couldn't be happier than a pig in shit about. LOL He is so so so amazing...and I am so so so happy that I finally have a man that is (as my bff would say) a CHAMPION! We cooked my/our first meal in my new house together; Tacos!!! LMAO....I laugh because it must be one of the easiest meals to prepare and cook....and yet....we totally burned the meat....LOL!!! I just want to point out that cooking the ground beef was his project...and he f***ed it up! Not me!!! I may not be a seasoned chef....but I do know how to manage the stove. Sorry sweets!!! I may have to kick you out of the kitchen if you can't handle the heat!!! LMAO

Not enough time......grrrr!
So...feeling slightly a bluster today folks. Today is the one day off during the week and I have it packed to the tits with shit I had to get done. It has been a very hectic today to say the least and I have so much more to do. EEKKKK!!!!
I started my day with a hair appointment to get colour and a cut. Seeing as I scheduled things inappropriately...but only of necessity...I had a workout with my trainer immediately after. This meant there was no point in getting my hair blow dried. Instead, my hairdresser put a treatment to help maintain colour and slicked my hair back into a bun. I did my workout like this. LMAO!!! I look like....I can't even think of an image for you to refer to. I did save my hair from being saturated in my sweat. AWESOME!!! I feel like I have a ton of hair gel in there right now...but this product is saving and nourishing my hair rather than sealing it with yuckiness. I am going to have to hustle through my freelance shit just to get home in time to shower and deal with my hair before Mr. Fabulous comes over!!! EKKKKK......its 3.30 now.....I have NO TIME!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Gotta move quick people....lmao!!!
Well....today is just going to have to be brief. SORRY!!!!!
Till tomorrow
Much love xo P

It's a toss up!
I woke up this morning with a big giant smile.....thanx to Mr. Fabulous! Had a brilliant evening, as always, with him last night. I woke up to a heart melting text...great way to start the day.
Now...being who I am...the reality is that I can't hang onto those moments for very long. It's like the gods want to remind me that I still live in a reality where I have to face obstacles and situations rather than live on cloud 9. So...of course my daily regime brings me to facebook where I am brought face to face with a less than disagreeable email from someone. I really don't want to get into the nitty gritty of it. I think where I am slightly askew is with my presentation. I work VERY hard at being diplomatic, efficient, pro-active and overall kind. When someone challenges this....it really really gets to my core. Someone did challenge this. I have to say one thing however, I have learned over my 31 years of life...that there are other perspectives and that I can be wrong. I have read and re-read the messages and I still believe I handled matters with care and gracefulness. I did all that I can do and I stand by my actions.
If I have learned one thing in life that would be the source of ALL issues with humanity is the lack of communication. If you break down every argument you have ever had...I think you could boil it down to the the words not spoken or the words misunderstood. It is sort of amazing. Here I am...reminded of this lesson. I had to clarify a lot and I had to reiterate my case. Hopefully now, things will be clear and we can come to an understanding. If not, well....I won't feel bad because I did all that I could do.
Moving along...FUN FACT....

Slow......very slow!
Good morning folks. Happy Monday!
I apologize in advance....had a little too much to drink last night and now...my brain is fried! Why was I drinking like a nerd on a Sunday evening? Well...I didn't get any partying done this weekend at all...and I was in the company of 2 ladies and these two ladies, when in their presence, illicit hardcore times. I can't say I didn't party at all. I went to the Soundgarden concert on Saturday....and it was friggin AWESOME. Sadly, we got rained out after an hour of the show. Not everyone left....maybe just a few lawn sitters. I was actually surprised at how many people sat through the pouring rain. Cheers to them!
My weekend consisted of spending time poolside at my parent's place, getting some quality time in with the family and working on my tan. Of course I did spend a lot of time in my incredibly awesome new home. I am totally unpacked, set up and organized. Still have a lot of cleaning to do and I still need to put up my artwork. Hopefully this will get done today...with Mr. Fabulous! LOL
When I think about things; it is a great thing that I took this weekend super easy cause the next 2 weekends are going to be crazy. Next weekend is the bachelorette party for my bff and then the weekend after that is my bff's big day....her wedding! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! 2 weeks to go!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! LOL VERY FRIGGIN EXCITING STUFF!!!! LOL
Ok people....it is a struggle for me to think right now....and type. LOL
Gots to go! Chau for now xo P
