Good day!
This morning the little nerds decided to cut me some slack. Instead of the usual 5:30 wake up....they let me be till 6:30. What sweethearts...!!! LOL I looked after the little turds and then got myself ready for work. I left the house in a somewhat chipper mood. The first song to play on my fav station was The Strokes; Under Cover of Darkness. LOVE THIS SONG!!! I am starting to feel pretty good about this day. As I approach the highway....I notice....shit is moving well. I dig it! I get on the highway....and holy shit balls.....NO TRAFFIC!!! What's going on today? Something special happening? Is the whole world...city....on holidays? LOVE IT!
Tell you what I am not loving....the friggin weather people. First they say this and then they say that. It changes every day. How am I supposed to plan my friggin party this way? Can someone tell me this?
Yesterday was an amazing day for me! Why? Because not only did I get waxed which by the way....makes you feel really good about yourself...lol, I had a killer workout with my trainer. This was the start to my day. I was graced with the presence of one of my bffs around 2pm. We had some wine and shot the shit for a couple hours before she was leaving me altogether to go back to Montreal. I won't see her again till Thanksgiving. POOH!!!! Luvs to you darling! Later in the evening....I had the pleasure of the company of another bff of mine. Again...had some wine, some cheese with crackers and some good chats. Good times!!!
Today is work as usual and tonight.....dinner with the one and only Mr. Fabulous!!!!
Have a brilliant hump day folks! xo

Bright eyed and bushy tailed......sort of!
Good morning to you!
I woke up in a bit of a sweat. I would have put on the A/C but my mom mentioned that she had the A/C disconnected from her room. How about that?!! So, she put a fan in its place. Ha!!! It is a bit of a lose lose situation. If you place the fan pointing 45 degree angle away from you....it does half the job. You stay cool but not cool enough. If you have the fan pointing right in your face....well....then you get too cold through out the night. Lest we forget, I have two little turds sleeping with me and one of them (mine) is adamant about being right beside me. Needless to say, I wake up hot and bothered. These little f***ers stand right right over my head when they want to go out. Imagine waking up to that? Once you open your eyes....it is all over. They know you have woken up and then they get all excited. LOL! It is kind of funny actually. This is all going down at about 6am, so I roll out of bed and let them outside. I get to rest for another 15 minutes or so before they want to come back in. And then they will leave me alone for another hour, if I am lucky. Then its breakfast time. YAY!!! Not!!!! LOL
I have an extremely action packed day today so even though the turds annoy me when waking me up early....its ok! I had to get up early. Who needs an alarm clock when you have dogs. My goodness! This kind of shit doesn't go down at my house with my nerd. He grew up on my time. Its the other turd that is messing everything up....thanx to my parents or more specifically my stepfather. I am sure they are somewhere in Italy....enjoying the incredible beauty and loveliness that is that country. So lucky!
I am not complaining. My turn is around the corner. I am going to Argentina/Uruguay in February/March. I really couldn't be happier than a pig in shit. Uggghhhh!!!!
Well folks, I gots to boogie. So much to do!!! So little time!

Happy Monday!
Hey there world! How goes it? My day started off special. I am house sitting and dog sitting for my folks. I have moved into my parents' house while they are gone and at first I thought this would be great. Now....I am starting to think otherwise. I have my dog there too, obviously. My parents' dog is used to getting up at 5:30am....GRRRRR!!!!! He wakes up and in turn my dog wakes up and then the two of them get all rambunctious and start harassing me. I let them out and then try to get back to sleep....with VERY little success. NOT COOL!!!
Needless to say, I am slightly irritated and I have to get to work. Of course, on a Monday morning there has to be a major accident taking up 2 lanes and creating gridlock traffic. Yup!!! That was my morning.
I really can't complain though. I had a blast of a night last night. Had dinner with Mr. Fabulous, one of my bffs and his gf. From there all 4 of us went to the CNE. We split up for a bit because Mr. Fabulous and I were going to the Incubus concert. Had a good time there but left in the middle of their show because neither Mr. Fabulous or myself were diggin their new hits and we just really wanted to hit up the rides at the CNE. So we head back there, reconnect with my bf and his gf. HAD A BLAST until the 4 of us hit up this one ride called Hurricane. We were all sick after that....lol....some more than others. Mr. Fabulous and my bf's gf tapped out and my bf and I continued on. Good times!
The rest of the weekend was good. Friday night worked at the bar. BAD NIGHT! For the first time, I got hammered. So BAD!!!! Uggh....don't want to talk about that. Saturday relaxed ALL day. So great! Saturday night had din din at my sister's followed by drinks at my parents place with another friend. All in all.....great weekend! Should be a great week to come!!!
Peace and love to all! xo

Doing the one eye.....lol
Good morning folks!
I am running on 3 hours of sleep. YUCK!!! For those of you who don't know what it is to get such little sleep and still have to function...here are the side effects;
SLOWNESS in communicating, computing, rationalizing, recalling
Extreme dry eye and therefore the eyes are red
Pins and needles in my arms....poor blood circulation
It would seem that there is a layer of fog behind my eyes. What I mean by that is this; imagine yourself after hours of swimming in a pool without goggles. You have been looking under water A LOT and now...your vision has a bit of a blur to it. Or...another analogy would be when you first wake up and your eyes are full of 'sleep'...and you have to blink a bunch of times to clear it away. Well....in my case it is perpetual.
Body is very slow to react......this is bad for driving!
Attitude for the time being: "Who Gives A Shit"!!!!
I just had to take a deep breath to replenish the oxygen in my brain after writing that brief blurb. LMAO!!!
I have made an executive decision. I will not pull more than one 16 hour day. I simply can't handle it. Gotta switch a shift pronto.
I am sad! I won't lie! I might be a 31 year old grown woman....but F***.....I still suffer separation anxiety when I know my mom is leaving. She will be leaving this country in 5 hours and I am in a bit of a panic. I don't think that it's that idea of her absence that gets to me.....I think it's the idea that something bad could potentially happen and that I won't get her back! So so so so scary and sad. I think it lasts about a day...after her departure before it wears off. Means I have another 24 hours of freakiness to go through. On a positive note; the freakiness is fueling my body with a surge of adrenaline which is counter acting the slowness from my lack of sleep. I guess its not all bad!
Well folks....its Friday!!! Have a brilliant weekend!

Lovely!!!
Hello world! Happy Thursday!
How is everyone today? Great....I hope!
I just got back from a pretty awesome lunch with one of my bffs....the one that got married this summer. I haven't seen her since the wedding which was 6 weeks ago, so we had lots to catch up on. LOVELY! She is 6 months pregnant and looks AMAZING!!! She has such a beautiful baby belly. She wears it well! Gives me hope...lmao!!! That is assuming I have children....one day!
So....some pretty big news; I finally, after 5 months, saw Mr. Fabulous' house. YAYYYYY!!!! I must say that it was a bit of a struggle to get this accomplished. Had to put my foot down. But....after a little bit of pulling and tugging for my way...I got it. He has a beautiful house and I am so pleasantly surprised by it. He is tidy, organized, clean and although he is colour blind...he managed to choose great colours for the house. LMAO! I won't lie....I was a little skeptical....but only because I had to wait so long to see it! Thank you Mr. Fabulous for FINALLY opening your home to me! I am touched!
I am a little bit sad. My mom and stepdad are leaving for 2 weeks to Italy tomorrow. How nice for them! I will be house/dog and business sitting for my mom. Not going to be a very relaxing 2 weeks for me. Meh....who needs relaxation right? Just keep on keepin on....as they say!
Well folks....peace out! xo P

All time horrible dream!
And yet another terrible sleep due to a terrible dream. This is probably the first one where I was hurt. I wasn't just hurt....I was decapitated. Ugggghhhhh! Just thinking about it upsets me.
The beginning of the dream starts with me waking up from surgery where they have put my head back on. The doctors tell me that what saved my head from dying was that it was sort of immersed in pigs blood. WTF is that?!!! Uggggghhhh! Horrible! So there I am with a heavy duty neck brace on and I seem to be ok. I am moving just fine, talking just fine, breathing/eating just fine. It is CRAZY! Time is passing me by and as it is passing me by I am feeling VERY weird and odd about all of this; from hearing that my head was saved by pigs blood, that I am alive again, that I am going to have this massive scar going all the way around my neck. Just weird!!!!
Then I am in the midst of a few events. I think at one point I was at Ikea shopping for end tables and I don't have my neck brace on and so I am feeling slightly odd that the muscles that are supporting my neck haven't healed properly and that my head is feeling sort of heavy. I was with a few people although I can't remember who they were, and I had to excuse myself because I was getting very worried that something was going to happen....like my head falling off!
At another point in the dream, I am in some warehouse in some place and I am just sitting there on this high chair surrounded by a lot of people I don't know. There was a cott set up beside me incase I wanted to lay down. LOL!!
I think the part that stands out the most was that I could literally feel the seperation from where my head was cut off. I have no idea how it happened. I am not too sure that that has any relevance...and thankfully I don't know that part. Uggghhhh!!! Makes me want to vomit in my mouth actually!
I barely slept because of this. SO TIRED now!

F-U-N! Friggin Unbelievable Night!
I really don't know where to start today. All I can think about at this very moment in time is; how much fun I had last night. I mean....I had so much fun...a lot of fun! I honestly can't remember the last time I had that much fun. I am still in a bit of shock at how much fun I had last night. I just wrote the word fun 5 times in 4 sentences. That is how much fun I had! LOL
As you know, I went to the Maroon 5 concert last night...but that wasn't all I did. The evening started with some dinner at Shoeless Joes on King St. From there we walked through the CNE to get to the Molson Amphitheatre. It was during this walk that I came to the realization that I friggin LOVE carnivals or whatever you call them. I really really do. With that said, I was sure that we; Mr. Fabulous and I, would end up there after the concert. Moving along, we arrive just in time to get some drinks and get to our seats before Mr. Adam Levine graced us with his presence. OMG.....that man is friggin sexy. I mean....mind blowing sexy. Uggghhhh......!!! LOL I felt a little bad for Mr. Fabulous. First of all....the crowd was primarily women....and the dudes that showed up did get a bit of flack. Meh....whateves. Further more; I was standing and dancing and singing my heart out....LMAO, while Mr. Fabulous (who doesn't really like this band at all) sat and tried to enjoy himself. I think he did...but probably because he was laughing at how into it I was. I felt like I was 10 years old again at the New Kids On The Block concert. LMAO! Good times! BRILLIANT SHOW!!! Loved every second of it. We left right after they were done. Not too interested in TRAIN. Plus, I really was super jazzed to hit up the CNE and OMG....what a hoot that was!!!
The access from Ontario Place that lead into the CNE put us right in the heart of ride central. Well....within a minute I had tickets in my hand and was lined up for this ride called Polar Express. If I recall correctly, this ride is based on a book. I don't recall the train in the book going backwards and yet....the ride did. I LOVED IT! It went so fast that I was literally squishing the shit out of Mr. Fabulous due to the gravitational pull. I was laughing so hard, I could barely breathe and Mr. Fabulous started to worry for me. LMAO! I tried to tell him I was ok....but was struggling with saying the words. So going to do that ride again tomorrow! After that we went to this shitty haunted house thing. It doesn't deserve another word of mention. From there we went on this thing called the Fire Ball. Did that one twice because it was AMAZING!! And to cap off the night we went on this next ride called Crazy Mouse. It looked like a ton of fun from the sidewalk but turned out to be quite boring. I don't recommend that one. And then....we left. Like I already said; we are going back tomorrow and we are both going to get the wrist band that allows you to do everyone for one price. YAY!!!
I just got back from a killer workout with my trainer. Did some much needed boxing. I have bruising in between my knuckles....just how I like it! YAY!!! From my much needed intense workout I went to the Ministry of Transportation to pay them that ridiculous amount of money they make you pay to reinstate your license....GRRR! Good thing I did some boxing already.
Well folks....I really should get some of my freelance work completed before I head to Toronto to visit with one of my bffs.
Have a fabulous afternoon! xo P

I am back!!!
Good day folks! Happy Monday to all! Yayyyyyy.....I am back to my morning blogs. LOVE IT! It is so much better to write to you in the morning rather than in the afternoon. I guess I have more energy or more interest in writing in the AM. Interesting!
Anywho, I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for the work week. I had an ok weekend. Friday night I celebrated an amazing cause with a friend for his mom. She has battled and won the fight with breast cancer twice now...what a feat?!!! Incredible. Saturday I spent the better part of the day relaxing in anticipation for a long night at the bar. It turned out well. Sunday did some more relaxing and then hit up a movie with my sister and mom; The Change-Up!! OMG.....I almost peed my pants of laughter! Such a good movie! After the movie one of my dear friends came over and we hung out, drank some wine and had Thai for dinner. Good times!
Now.....today is going to be a friggin awesome day! Why you ask? Here's why;
Yes folks....I am going to go and see Maroon 5 play a concert at the Molson Amphitheatre tonight!!!! SO FRIGGIN EXCITED!!!!! YAY!!!! But before that; going for dinner and then hitting up the CNE before and maybe after the show. Doesn't that sound like a ton of fun? It does to me! And of course you know who I am hitting this up with...don't you? Mr. Fabulous!!!!!
This whole week is going to be awesome! So you know the plans for tonight, tomorrow I have a workout with my trainer....need it. Need it bad!!! LOL That will be followed by an appointment with the Ministry of Transportation to pay the fine to reinstate my suspended licence. Good times!! LOL and then....I will cap off the day with a much need visit with my bff downtown. SUPER JAZZED for that!
I would layout the rest of the week for ya....but I decided that I will share as the shit happens. Better that way...wouldn't you agree?
I should probably get back to work now! So should you! LMAO

Big Sigh......
Happy Friday world!
Today was the last day of my real estate in class course. It is a bit sad to be perfectly honest. Re-connected with a couple old friends and made some new ones. It was such a pleasure. As much as I would like to tell you that I don't like school or studying....I really can't. I do like school and oddly enough...studying. Who knew?!!! It wasn't always this way. Lots of things are insanely different about me from the past and now. I failed English 3 times in high school and now I am a writer. Go figure!
Anywho, I have plans with 2 of my friends from the course. Very exciting. I really do hope to maintain these friendships. I know it won't be hard with the one that I mentioned yesterday. The other, I guess we'll soon see!
Yay....it's Friday! Usually I would be working tonight however I managed to switch this shift for tomorrow because I have a very important event to attend to tonight. Will explain further on Monday.
I am getting my nails done in 30 minutes and I should probably head out soon. So, with that said; I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Peace, love & rock n roll! xo P

Loved!!!
Hey there....how are we all doing today? Good? Great? Fabulous? Wonderful? Brilliant? Fantastic?
All good things! Thanx for sharing! Sorry to those who's feeling don't fall under those categories. We can't all be fabulous!! LMAO Jokes
I am great, nervous, slightly stressed, preoccupied, flustered, full, I have heart burn, feeling a little bloated, hot, sticky and finally a-ok!
I have a few topics to discuss today.
1) Last night Mr. Fabulous treated me to a delightful surprise. I made sure that I was all dolled up by the time he arrived to my house to pick me up. Being the kind of anal retentive punctual person that I am...I was done within minutes of his arrival. Gosh...I am good! LOL We had a drink at my place before heading out to the city. Of course I had no idea where we were going other than where ever we were going....was in T.O. We park across the street from the Rogers Centre and stopped at Baton Rouge for some apps and drinks. Mr. Fabulous had reservations for 8:45. We had time to kill. At 8:30...he says; let's walk. So there we are walking....and I happen to look up at the CN Tower and think to myself....what a cool building. Just thinking....cause I do that a lot! I actually stop to take a picture...lmao....like a typical tourist....except I have lived 20 minutes from the CN tower my whole life. Good times. The whole time...Mr. Fabulous is asking me if I have a clue where we are going to which I answer...NO! He starts guiding me in the direction of this tent that is hosting some event and so my natural reaction is to think that that is where we are going. I was wrong! We had dinner in the 360 restaurant at the top of the CN tower. I have NEVER eaten there before and what a treat it was! Great food, great ambiance, great company.....a whole lot of greatness!! Loved every second of it! Thank you Mr. Fabulous!
2) I have this friend....we met in the first course of my real estate program. I am now in course 3 and he is once again in my class. We became pretty good friends after course one and managed to maintain this friendship over the year from then to now. We planned to take this class together and we have also planned to take the exam together. We study well and party hard. So fun!!! Anyways....since getting to spend more time than usual with him over these past 3 weeks....solidifies the friendship. He is such a cool dude and I am honored to have him as my friend and even more so to know that we are going to be great business buddies. If you only knew how important it is to build friendships in the business.....means the world! Cheers to you Darling!
3) Jersey Shore.....and we are back!!! LOVE IT!!! I really want to say that I am embarrassed about loving this show....but to be perfectly frank with you.....I am not....embarrassed....at all!! LOL I friggin love this show man. Kills me!
Peace out folks! Till tomorrow! xo P
All good things! Thanx for sharing! Sorry to those who's feeling don't fall under those categories. We can't all be fabulous!! LMAO Jokes
I am great, nervous, slightly stressed, preoccupied, flustered, full, I have heart burn, feeling a little bloated, hot, sticky and finally a-ok!

No one to blame but myself! This SUCKS!!!
Hello there....
So on June 1st I went to court to dispute a speeding ticket I got back in the day. I had the fine brought down from $200 to $45. I gave myself 60 days to pay it.....but for some reason I thought it was 90 days. Ha....what a loser!!!! Today I look at the document telling me how long I had and I see 60 days. F***!!! I figured....I should go today to the court house to pay and I also thought for one flaky moment that I wouldn't suffer any consequences for being 2 weeks late. Man was I wrong! I go to the cashier and she tells me that not only do I have to pay double ($80) for the ticket but that my license is also suspended and that I have to wait 4 business days before going to the Ministry of Transportation to pay $150 to have it reinstated.
How about them apples?!
As angry as I would like to be...I really have no one to blame but myself. I always had that document telling me how long I had to pay the ticket. I shouldn't have counted on my recollection for timing. POOH!!!
Thankfully, I don't have much driving to do over the next 5 days.
I got to see one of my bffs last night. So great to have her home. She was away for over a week doing a conference thing. We had some laughs, got caught up on our gossip and had a drink. Always a pleasure.
Looking forward to this evening. I get to spend it with Mr. Fabulous. I have no idea what we are doing and that is ok. Like I previously mentioned; I like surprises!!
I hope you are all having a great day! xo P

HOLY MOSES!
So, I had my car detailed today by a friend of a friend. This guy came to where I was taking my class and over the lunch break, he picked up my car and took it away to clean. He came back 3 hours later when class was over and I could see him pull into the drive with a gleaming Rocco (my car's name is Rocco!). OMG!!! I was totally shocked at how amazing my car looks.
Yesterday I blogged about clearing the debris from my car on Sunday. Well....it was all in preparation for this event. Let me say this; this poor guy had close to 5 years worth of build up in there. YUCK! Don't get me wrong, I do clean my car. I think I vacuumed it twice this year. I did a thorough clean last year. It was well over due for a serious job though. Thank you Mr. Car Detailor. You rock!!! It's as if I just took my car from the dealership. So so so clean!!! So so so great!!! YAY!!! Spotless home, spotless car. Now....I only need to do a couple things for myself; hair, nails and waxing and I will be all glamed up to suit the car and home. LMAO!!!!
I got to participate in my first multiple offer presentation last night with my mom. Can we say exciting?! This was probably the best example of a multi offer deal. There were 8 competing offers on the table and my goodness......what a process. I won't get into the details of it....just know this; this house was listed for $819,000 and sold for $1 Million. HOLY SHITBALLS!!! The home owners had a bottle of champagne and the 4 of us; mom, the couple home owners and myself had a drink together. LOVELY! Of course, I do realize that not all deals are this incredible. I am thankful that I was apart of this event. I can only hope that I get to have more of these in the future.
SADLY......I am taking my dad to the airport tonight. BOOO!!!! Going to miss him terribly. On the bright side....I am DEFINITELY going to Argentina in February to visit him. This is my solace!
And there it is folks! Another day in the world of Paula! Peace out! xo

Feeling it!
Good morning to you...
Hope you are having a pleasant and happy Monday. I think my week is starting out well. I had a very productive weekend and with that said; I feel totally up for the week and whatever it brings me. Of course...knowing me; I have this week booked to the tits. Couldn't have it any other way.
Friday was a ball of fun...NOT! I had to work at the bar and usually its cool but for some reason...this night was anything but. Lots of struggles. Meh....whatever....! No need to expand on this. Saturday was nice. Slept in and relaxed until my workout with my trainer. I told her to have no mercy and as such....2 days later...still feeling it! No complaints! Miss feeling this 'good' pain. From my workout I went with Mr. Fabulous to 102.1 The Edge's free festival; Sausagefest. I would say it was awesome and don't get me wrong it was....but we didn't stick around long enough to see any of the bands play. Why? Because it was simply too chaotic. I think the venue was for sure over capacity and because of that...they wouldn't let everyone inside to see the bands. Now....Mr. Fabulous and I being on the verge of brilliance with our combined brains....managed to get in on the first round but quickly decided to go back outside. Why? I don't remember. LOL! Either way....we regretted that decision and after a brief time back outside we decided to leave altogether. I did have a really great time non-the-less. Any time with Mr. Fabulous is a great time. Once we left we had a bite to eat at this cute little bar/resto in the same hood. From there we went home.
Yesterday; action packed!!! Woke up at a leisurely pace (love it!) and then chilled out before heading to Toronto to have Dim Sum with the fam. From there came back home and got into serious cleaning mode. Cleaned my apartment and my car. I am still in shock at how much I got accomplished. My house is spotless, my car is free of debris and I managed to get some errands done including grocery shopping. Ha....I did grocery shopping. LMAO!! That always cracks me up! I was in such a domestic state of mind that I even made dinner. OMG!!! Almost unheard of. Good times folks!!!
Here we are; Monday! This day is all about running errands and fulfilling all appointments that couldn't otherwise be looked after. This is my last week of school. Tomorrow I am taking my dad to the airport....SAD!!!! On Wednesday, Mr. Fabulous is treating me to a night of specialness. He won't share any details with me. It's a surprise!! Love surprises!
I hope you all have a wonderful day!! Till tomorrow...

Blah blah blah....
Happy Friday world!
Having only slept 4 hours last night or shall I say this morning....running low on fuel. Spent the day in school and now I am going to take a brief but worthy nap before my shift at the bar.
I have this pulsating pain crossing my neck in between my upper shoulder blades. GRRR!!!
I haven't seen Mr. Fabulous since Monday morning. SAD!!!! However, I get to be with him tomorrow afternoon/evening and night. YAY! He's taking me to Sausagefest at the Sound Academy. Super jazzed for that!
I am a little down because I know my dad is leaving for 9 months come Tuesday. This is always the hard part about the summer. Saying bye to my dad sucks and I have to do it every year. YUCK!!
I am sort of struggling to write more....sorry folks! SO TIRED!!!!
Promise to do better on Monday!
Peace love and rock n roll! xo P

Hey there.....
Good day to you!
Last night I went to go see the Cirque Du Soleil Totem show and it was absolutely amazing!!! I was not only totally taken aback by the beauty and production of the show but also by the people and the amazing things that they do. It definitely is one of the best shows I have ever seen.
Thank you to my sister for hooking it up!!! It was a real treat!!!
Today I am at a cross road of emotion. I am still hanging onto a little bit of rage from the topic of yesterday. Still no progress there and the feeling of a non-conclusive issue really gets to me. I realize that I haven't been fulfilling my exercise regime and because of that...I am not properly releasing my energy. This has to change soon! I do get to see my trainer on Saturday......so so so excited for that! Oh....along with a hopefully killer workout....I will be going to Sausagefest at the Sound Academy with Mr. Fabulous! Will finally get to put some faces to Dean and Todd from 102.1 The Edge. Super jazzed for this!
Other than all this...no complaints! School is great! Just about to take five for a much needed nap before my crazy shift at the bar; Karaoke Night....always action packed!!!
Hope you all are having a great day! Till tomorrow!

Pet Peeves
Being ever so tired, writing to you today is a bit of a task. I realize that I have really had to push myself these past couple weeks to write because it means a special trip to my parent's place in order to use their computer and Internet. Not to mention....that since starting my third job; bartender....that leaves me with even less time to get this done.
But enough complaining about that. I am here today to discuss something that has been bothering me to no end.
So we all know that I just won a court case for rent in arrears; rent that was owed but not by me. I know I described to you the situation about the couple that I lived with briefly. I am sure I told you about my ex friend whom I had originally lived with and that her ex bf moved in with us. After 6 months of living with them...I left. They stayed behind. Well....I missed two days of work to look after this mess of the two losers who didn't pay their rent.
I am still in contact with the dude and he made a promise to pay for those 2 days of missed work (one day appealing the already existing judgement and another day in court). He also promised me that he would get that money to me last Friday. I had to work last Friday and during my shift, I find out that he isn't going to stand by his word and when I expressed my anger with this, he basically told me where to go!
Now, since Friday, I have been trying to reach him and he is outright ignoring me.
Would you say it is a fair assessment that he isn't going to pay?
All I can say is;
WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!! Who does that? Who makes 2 promises; 1) to pay for 2 days of work missed and 2) to pay last Friday and then totally renege on both of those promises?
I am raging!!!!
I have many more pet peeves....but for now this is the only one that I am focusing on!
Pooh!

What a treat!!!
Hello there folks! Happy Tuesday to you!
Today.....today was filled with educational content to the max. Just spent 7 hours learning about legal clauses that are put into real estate transaction agreements. There are close to 100 clauses that are somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50 to 100 words long and we need to know them off by heart. This is to fulfill one portion of the agreement.
To all of you out there who say you don't need a realtor to sell your home or find you a home to buy....I say; your loss! We (the Realtors) will have the last laugh when we see you going to court because you didn't know your rights or what your legal obligations are. On the one hand I am offended by the comments;
Realtors are becoming obsolete!
Realtors are a waste of money, I can do this on my own!
And so on......
On the other hand....I know I would never represent myself in court because I don't know the law (criminal law) and I also know that I wouldn't dream of diagnosing myself with a disease because I am not a doctor. These people go to school and spend a pile of money on learning every single thing there is to know about their industry and business. What makes real estate and Realtors any different? I have spent a lot of money on some very in depth knowledge of this business and anyone who tells me that they can do what I will be doing without this knowledge can go right ahead. If you don't want your best interests looked after, if you want to be raped and pillaged (so to speak), if you want to be sued (possibly) then please....do represent yourselves! You are just making us look better!
On a totally unrelated topic;
I was treated to a very wonderful sentiment from Mr. Fabulous. Today he told me why I am the ultimate package! How about that?!!!! LOL
First of all, I am not low on the self esteem pole....but my goodness.....to know that someone thinks of me this way.....really really does blow me out of the water. He gave me 124 reasons why I am the ultimate package. HOLY SHIT BALLS!!! There are actually 124 reasons out there? Can this really be? I laughed and almost cried all at once. Forgive me folks....but I have never had the pleasure of being with a man who defined/demonstrated or professed his affections for me the way Mr. Fabulous has and is. WHAT A TREAT!!!

Happy Monday world!!! And yes.....it is a happy Monday!!!
Just got back from a couple days up north...Sauble Beach! Now....I realize that this isn't the 'nicest' getaway or the most affordable for what you get however....it is on my favourite body of water; Lake Huron. Oh how do I love thee....Lake Huron! I swam out....oh goodness.....far from the beach and I could still see the sand at the bottom. So friggin beautiful! It was the perfect temperature....slightly cold but warm enough that you wouldn't freeze your ass off.
The road trip up there, with Mr. Fabulous was long and winded but because we decided or rather I decided to take the long route because I wanted to stop in a couple small towns that I had sailed to and really wanted to visit again; Kincardine and Port Elgin. What should have taken 2.5 hours....took close to 5. Ekkk!!! As soon as we arrived; we checked in and got wet in the pool/ hot tub. So great! From there we got ready and walked the town and found a pretty decent resto right on the water. So so great! We were both pretty tired so the night ended relatively early.
Sunday morning we wake up, get some breakfast and then hit up the beach. I think part of the reason why I love this particular beach so much is because you can drive right up on to it....park your car and get settled right there. Sort of perfect in my eyes. Don't have to haul all your gear around! Anywho....we lay out some towels and blanket and get some sun for a bit before getting wet. Shortly after we see some major weather coming about. We pack up our stuff and decide to do some window shopping to occupy ourselves during what we thought would be a light shower. Well....Sauble Beach's town....is so small that you can conquer it in about 30 minutes...lol! What started out as light showers turns into a major storm. We take shelter at a patio bar and have drinks. FYI; this is at 11:45am. LOL!!! We camp out there for an hour or so until the weather gets out of hand and we get rained out. We decide to go and get food. Almost right away the storm passes. It came as fast as it went. YAY!!! Then comes Mr. Sunshine all over again and we had the whole afternoon with kick ass sun and heat. PERFECT!!! Did some major tanning, swimming and even managed a walk down the beach. LOVED IT!!!!
It was probably around 5pm when we decided we had had enough sun and we both agreed we needed a nap. Side note here; I am battling a cold/cough. I was doing my best to not think about this major pain in the ass and in turn....by the time we decided to nap....I was well over due and had the best nap EVER. We both woke up refreshed and ready to carry on. We strolled to the 'fun park' that was, by the looks of it, deserted. I guess the weather puts a hold on 'fun'...lol! There were go karts and a ride, called the Spider, in action so Mr. Fabulous and I hit up the ride. Ekkkk!!! I was sure I was going to vomit during or after this ride....but luckily....I did alright! LOL
After the ride I hit up the slide which apparently is the biggest slide ever....lmao! NOT!!! I think it was all of 3 seconds of fun. Meh....whateves! From there went for dinner. This resto was recommended to us but I believe it was because there are only like 5 restos to choose from...not because it was something to write home about...lol!! It was horrible; the experience was bad and the food was bad!!! None-the-less, Mr. Fabulous made every moment fun and enjoyable....so no complaints!!!
Speaking of Mr. Fabulous....this weekend had a bunch of firsts in it! It was our first getaway and our first overnight together. He is still Mr. Fabulous!!! LMAO!!! I really can't describe what makes him so fabulous. He is just amazing.....an amazing man!!! Ugghhh!!! Speechless....again!!!
Well folks....I have been back in the city for just shy of 4 hours and I am still riding the wave of peace and relaxation.
I want to apologize for missing 2 days last week. As you know....it takes a lot for me to bail on blogging. Working those 16 hour days really puts a damper on my A-game and energy levels. I will try to fix this.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!! Till tomorrow xo
The road trip up there, with Mr. Fabulous was long and winded but because we decided or rather I decided to take the long route because I wanted to stop in a couple small towns that I had sailed to and really wanted to visit again; Kincardine and Port Elgin. What should have taken 2.5 hours....took close to 5. Ekkk!!! As soon as we arrived; we checked in and got wet in the pool/ hot tub. So great! From there we got ready and walked the town and found a pretty decent resto right on the water. So so great! We were both pretty tired so the night ended relatively early.
Sunday morning we wake up, get some breakfast and then hit up the beach. I think part of the reason why I love this particular beach so much is because you can drive right up on to it....park your car and get settled right there. Sort of perfect in my eyes. Don't have to haul all your gear around! Anywho....we lay out some towels and blanket and get some sun for a bit before getting wet. Shortly after we see some major weather coming about. We pack up our stuff and decide to do some window shopping to occupy ourselves during what we thought would be a light shower. Well....Sauble Beach's town....is so small that you can conquer it in about 30 minutes...lol! What started out as light showers turns into a major storm. We take shelter at a patio bar and have drinks. FYI; this is at 11:45am. LOL!!! We camp out there for an hour or so until the weather gets out of hand and we get rained out. We decide to go and get food. Almost right away the storm passes. It came as fast as it went. YAY!!! Then comes Mr. Sunshine all over again and we had the whole afternoon with kick ass sun and heat. PERFECT!!! Did some major tanning, swimming and even managed a walk down the beach. LOVED IT!!!!
It was probably around 5pm when we decided we had had enough sun and we both agreed we needed a nap. Side note here; I am battling a cold/cough. I was doing my best to not think about this major pain in the ass and in turn....by the time we decided to nap....I was well over due and had the best nap EVER. We both woke up refreshed and ready to carry on. We strolled to the 'fun park' that was, by the looks of it, deserted. I guess the weather puts a hold on 'fun'...lol! There were go karts and a ride, called the Spider, in action so Mr. Fabulous and I hit up the ride. Ekkkk!!! I was sure I was going to vomit during or after this ride....but luckily....I did alright!

I am so drinking a bottle of champagne.....like right now!
Good afternoon folks! Happy Hump Day to you!!!
I spent my day in court. Why you ask? I had to fight for my right!! That's why!!!
Before my last apartment, I lived with a crazy woman for 17 months. After a year, her ex boyfriend moved in with us at which point it didn't take long for me to realize that I was going to have to leave...fast!! So, I started to get the wheels in motion by submitting the proper documentation to management stating my departure date etc. I also made sure that these two characters did complete a new lease contract and I also made sure that they did in fact submit that for processing. My date for moving arrives and I leave in peace...or that is what I thought!
As it turns out...that was not the case. A few weeks ago, I was told by my boss that she was going to have to garnish my wages because I had been sued for rent in arrears. Ha!!! I was totally taken aback. WTF did that mean? As far as I was concerned, I had ALWAYS paid my rent. I immediately acted on this bullshit and managed to get a suspension on the garnishment as well as an appeal hearing on the judgement that was made against me....without my presence. Today was the day to appeal that judgement!
Now, I want you to know that the way I am presenting this to you...elicits a sense of easiness. Getting that suspension and appeal hearing....was no easy task. Spent an entire day running around Toronto and Mississauga and missed work. It was no easy feat! Further more; today took up my whole friggin day and lest I mention the stress, discomfort and fear of losing consuming my mind and heart. I was a nervous wreck last night right into today. I experienced physiological problems due to my nervousness and anxiousness...that NO ONE could compensate me for. I will spare you the details!!!
My turn finally comes up in the court room.....after many hours of listening to other terrible situations. I sit at the table and am next to my nemesis....my ex landlord's lawyer. I am doing my utmost to stay calm, cool and collected. As soon as the evil man opens his mouth to state his case, I envision myself jumping out of my seat, reaching across to him and hurting him. LMAO!!!! During our 30 minutes of discussion with the judge....I came to realize that although I was sure I had done my best and that I had done EVERYTHING I believed I needed to do.....it still wasn't enough! I could see the words..."management is awarded the judgement" coming from the judges mouth.....but to my shock....the words "the case is dismissed" came out instead!!!
HOLY SHIT BALLS!!!!
Let me say that again.....
HOLY SHIT BALLS!!!!
I won!!! I f***n won!!!! I can't believe it!!!! Yay.....there is justice in the world!!!! I was really doubting the system....but, they did come through with the right decision!!!
So...here I am....looking at a chilled bottle of champagne!!! I am going to excuse myself right now to go and drink this while I smoke on my parent's patio!!!
Have a great afternoon folks! Till tomorrow

Here we go again!!!
Oy!!!! So....here we are again! Back in school folks!! Just had my first day of class for the real estate program. This is the 3rd course and is 3 weeks long. It is probably the most intensive of the 3 courses; we have to conquer 2 text books that are about 300 pages each. My goodness!!!
Once I have completed the course, I have 3 weeks to study like a maniac and then take the exam. If.....when I pass this exam....I will be a licensed real estate saleswoman!!! That's right world!! Watch out....cause I am around the corner from rocking out! LOL
Please....please do take note that I am almost there. When I am finally finished...I really do hope that you will come to me for your real estate needs.
Wish me luck folks!!!!!
