Can this be?

I would like to think that I am an intelligent woman who has some sense of reality. I would like to think that even in my most silliest of moments, I can break free from my own thoughts. Ha!!! Not today. Not since Saturday.

I have a friend who got into stripping. He was working hard at getting into shape for months before he got the job. I have known him for years but...he happens to live kitty corner to the bar I work at and thus...I see him most while at the bar. He would come in after his workouts for a bite and a drink. He would tell me of his progress and his ideas for his image when working at the club. I would give him my advice...we would brainstorm. Good times! I was proud to hear that he was a hit and had became relatively successful with his new part-time career.  He had been working for a couple months and always put out the invitation for me to go and visit him at the club. For some reason...I was always unable to go until this past weekend. I did go to see my friend strip. LOL! It was only slightly odd to see him in this capacity. He is a looker. LOL!!! Now....where the real story lies is with this other stripper; Victor, the Russian. LMAO!!! This guy is Toronto's version of Channing Tatum. Oh yes!!! Aside from being totally hot; blond, blue eyed, tall, fit as a fiddle and just so gorgeous...the guy can dance. I have ALWAYS had a weak spot for men that can boogie. Victor was the only guy who danced like this at the club. He blew my mind. I was hooked. Still am!

So the story continues...I was there with a bff who has a man so she was enjoying herself from a different perspective as I was. We both were sitting in our seats laughing, pointing at things (wink wink) and having a blast. It is really quiet exceptional to see how other women react...and men. Yup! There were men there too. Fascinating. It is actually a men's club that let's women in at certain times on certain nights. Anywho....I could NOT stop thinking about my Russian hottie and of course....he came to my table and asked me if I wanted a lap dance. My first, second and third reactions were NO! I couldn't handle that. He obviously could tell that I would be easy to convince cause all it took was one more try....lmao! He came again....and I caved. So there we go...off to a private room for a lap dance. OMG!!!! I am speechless. First of all....this was my first time EVER getting a lap dance from a man at a strip club. I was totally uncomfortable. I mean....what the hell do you do? I thought that they just get naked and dance for you. I was wrong! LOL Apparently this is your opportunity to put your hands on them....anywhere you want to. Once again....totally unprepared for this and trust me when I say....I was blushing and sort of hysterical. He tried to ease my freakiness....and it sort of worked. Just reflecting...it was TOTALLY INSANE! I could hear moaning in the next room from us and this was just way beyond my comfort zone. I had to do mental deep breaths.

We were the for 3 or 4 songs which goes for $20 a song. I only paid for one.

Then I go back to my seat and have another drink with my girl and continue to have a blast. Then my Russian hottie gets back up on the stage for another show...and once again he comes to get me for a lap dance. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!  This time; 10 songs later for the price of one....I had to excuse myself. LMAO!

I think I am in love!!!!! EEEEEEEKKKK!!!!!

xo P

Almost forgot....

I was just about to leave my computer for the day and then I quickly realized....I didn't write my blog. EEEKKK!!! I had WAY too many shots of Jack Daniels last night. EEEEKKK! LOL

So folks; it is Friday! YAY! I just have to get through tonight and all will be well.

I just got back from visiting with my absolutely kick ass hair stylist. She is totally amazing and makes my hair look totally amazing. Uggggh! If I could make it look even close to this...would be awesome. No dice! I am wicked lazy when it comes to my hair. Thankfully and fortunately for me, my hair falls well with very little work...in fact with no work at all. Ha!!! I wash it, comb it and voila...done! I guess that is what I get when I have kick ass haircuts with my kick ass hair stylist. Yup!!!

So I want to talk about last night for a minute. I am confused about what happened. Something happened obviously. I am wondering if this event happened because my angels are messing with me or because they are challenging me or because something is supposed to come from this. Hence my confusion. So...this absolutely drop dead gorgeous fabulous man came in. He has come in before. He wowed me back then which was a few months ago, so much so that we went out on a date. This date was awesome until shit went down with my friend. I realize this sounds all screwy so let me back track. A few months ago...I met this man. He came into my bar and the second I saw him....I was hooked. I guess the same could be said for him. Instant chemistry. We both knew it and so we exchanged numbers within minutes of meeting each other. From there....we made plans to go out on a Saturday. Those plans were cancelled by the Hottie. We made alternate plans for another day after Saturday. So...I did what anyone else would do....I made other plans. Saturday afternoon rolls around and the Hottie calls me up and says he is around the corner from me...let's go out! I had a couple hours to kill before my night plans so I said sure. We went to a local pub and chatted for hours, having such a great time. So much so that I was late for my night plans. I invited the Hottie to join in on the festivities. I figured my friend wouldn't mind. The 3 of us had dinner and drinks at my place. Had an awesome time. After hours or good times we decided to go out for last call. We did! That is when shit hit the fan. Things got ugly and horrible things were said between the Hottie and my friend. I figured that I would never see this guy again. I made amends with my friend and life carried on. Well....last night this Hottie came in. He said he wanted to apologize for his behavior that night and asked for my forgiveness. Can you believe it? After all this time....clearly it was still bothering him. How awesome is that?!!! Granted he owes my friend an apology. If anything comes from this dude...I am sure she will get one.

So...after a few drinks, major flirting and some awesome chats....he asked me out again. I couldn't say no. Just thinking about this guy gives me goose bumps. He is awesome. What more can I say?!

Back to my original question; why did he come back into my life? WTF does this mean? Any ideas? LOL

xo P

YAY!

Yay it's Thursday. Yay...I am pulling an 17 hour day today and tomorrow. Yay...this weekend is action packed and I don't see the light in terms of sleep or rest. Yayyyyyy!!! LOL

I had a killer workout with my trainer this morning. Of course we did some boxing and I swear to you...it gives me the pep in my step and the energy I need to get through the day. Have I told you lately how much I love it? I do!! I am getting better with each day that I do it...and that is such a rush. My confidence that I can beat the shit out of someone is right up there. In fact, I would really like it if someone would let me beat the shit out of them. LOL. That wouldn't be that fun. I am suggesting that this person fight back. Anyone out there want to get in the ring with me? There is one around the corner from my house. We can get all geared up and get'er done...lmao!!!

Back to being exhausted. I am determined to squeeze in a nap today. It can be done! LOL

Last night I went out to celebrate a dear lady friend's 30th birthday. I believe I mentioned this yesterday. It is always such a treat to spend time with her. Her group of friends are so delightful and charming. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I did not, however, get to spend any real time with my dear friend...the fiance of the birthday girl. I think I might have to wait awhile to get some down time with him. He is in the midst of his wedding plans and of course he works like a dog. So....I can see that eating a meal and having a drink with him...will have to wait till the end of the summer....lol! It's all good. At least I get to be in the same room as him for his wedding....lol! As I mentioned yesterday...the venue for the bday festivities was a Karaoke bar. Of course I sang a couple songs. This Karaoke guy pales in comparison to my Karaoke guy. So happy that I get to see my songsmith at my bar. Yayyyyyy!!!!

All I can think about is a nap. Gotta do some work first. Peace out folks! xo P

LOL!!!

First things first...I want to give major Congratulations to my bff who had her first fashion show yesterday. She killed it! She knocked it out of the park. She blew me and everyone else out of the water. She is amazing!!!
Her line; B.E. Shields is going to take over very soon. As I said last night; I would wear the entire line everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. Right now the clothes are a little out of my price range. I asked my bff to make me something just for me. Hopefully she will one day soon! I am so beyond proud of her and I am over the moon with excitement. Sadly, I can not go to her second show tonight. Wish I could!!! Loves to you Darling!!! Congrats again!

Tonight I am going to go and celebrate a dear friend's birthday. There is some extra love for this friend not only because she is amazing and divine, she is the fiance of one of my best friends and last but not least, she is having her party at a Karaoke bar. Oh ya baby!!! I wish I could share with you her rendition of Salt n' Peppa's Shoop...she nailed it last year. Too funny!

Last night, before the show, I went out on my first POF date. It was nice. The guy; charming, kind, handsome, established and successful, a fellow Gemini, a gentleman...worthy of a second date if he wants it. Not too sure of that yet. He is a little bit older and has a son. This is not a problem for me but might be for him. I can't imagine for one second what a man with a child is looking for in a woman? Does he think about how 'this' woman would interact with his child? Is that something that crosses their mind on a first date? I am curious. I am chatting with a couple other dudes. We'll see what happens there. I did stumble on a dude who has totally blown me out of the water in terms of his looks. He is brilliantly gorgeous. It is sort of hard to take. I did tell him as such. LOL! He said the same for me. It is a darn shame that he lives 2.5 hours away. There will be nothing that comes from that. Sadly! I am very aware that I shouldn't focus on some one's looks...but let's not fool ourselves...that is an important factor. In fact, I would say that 70% of the messages that I get come to me with a simple comment about my looks. Nothing is said about the content of my profile...simply what I look like. We all do it! Not sure what is next for me. We'll see!!!

Happy Hump Day to all! xo P

Here we go!

Tuesday....oh Tuesday. Today is quite atypical actually and because of that...I have good hopes for the day. Let's start off by saying that tonight I am going to go and support one of my bff's who is participating in her first fashion show. I am so so so excited for her and ever so proud. I really can't wait for that.

Today I am going on my first POF date. For those of you who don't know what POF is; it is a dating website called 'Plenty of Fish'. I have been chatting with the dude for a few days now. I know what he does, where he lives, I think I know what he looks like and yet...I don't know his name. You would think I could just come right out and ask but seeing as he knows my name, I am guessing we already exchanged this information and now...not remembering it is relatively embarrassing. I will have to come up with some clever move to get that out in the open.

Last night was interesting not only because I had to work at the bar but it was interesting in terms of the vibe that was hovering around. Maybe it was the weather...I don't know. Just felt odd. Anyways...it was so dead that we closed the doors at 1am. I was home and in bed by 2pm. Not bad. Sort of sucked in that very little money was made but I will say this; I am so tired of getting annoyed with  people and there lack of tipping that it rolls off of me in a matter of minutes. In fact; I think I am just about numb to the whole situation which is not good either. Getting another job is a serious consideration...promise! So there I am in bed by 2am. Loved it! I had one of the best sleeps in a long time. Had some pretty spectacular dreams...a few of them. Each one had a different dude in it....lmao! Only one dude I already know...the others were strangers. The guy that I did know happens to be the best friend of an ex boyfriend. Man....I would love to see a dream doctor. Anyone know of any?

Well folks; gotta boogie! Peace out! xo P

ZZZZZZZZZZ....

I can't decide if I am tired from doing absolutely nothing yesterday or if it is the weather messing with me or what...but I need a nap. My schedule is not only totally insane this week but it is also all screwy. I have to work at the bar tonight because tomorrow night I am going to my bff's fashion show in Toronto. This means that I will miss this evening's workout as well as tomorrow morning's workout. GRRRRRR!!!!

Of course my bar shifts for Thursday and Friday are in place which is great. I am also seeing my hair stylist on Friday and this is ALWAYS a treat. I really do need a hair cut desperately as well as getting rid of my ever progressing gray hair problem. I expected that once I got into a routine of colouring the grays...it would be hard to deal with seeing them during the grow out process. I seem to be able to get 10 weeks between each colour session which I have heard is pretty decent. I only have one problem with the aging process...and that is the friggin gray hair. Uggggghhhh!!!! It is troubling.

I trust that everyone had a decent weekend. I did! Actually...I had to work Friday and an event went down that did mess me up a bit. This event occurred after my shift. I went to a customer's house for drinks with a couple other customers/friends. I really can't get into too much detail come to think of it. Let's just say that I was totally taken a back when someone decided to shaft me right in my face. On the one hand, I shouldn't be surprised. On the other hand, I really ought to keep in mind that some of these people have NO CLASS and that to have any expectations of them what-so-ever is a completely ignorant of me. Another lesson learned. I can't complain cause I have learned...yet another lesson in life. It is a shame that I learned it the hard way...once again. So yes....although I was stung and a little hurt...my Saturday festivities managed to take that off of my mind. I had a brilliant night and was in the company of some great people. YAY! LOL

Happy Monday folks! xo P

Tickets sold here!

I have to say...once in awhile I have rock star moments. Last night was one of them. I was on fire working at the bar. I had multiple people tell me that I was glowing and that I looked extra fabulous...lol! I am so not trying to toot my own horn...but what I am saying is this; I was overflowing with energy last night and people could see that. Why was I full of energy yesterday? I HAVE NO IDEA! Ha! I wish I could be that 'on' everyday.

My usual night manager couldn't come in and so I had my boss with me, as my bar back. I do love my boss. He is truly a kind soul and he is very very sweet with me. I think he really appreciates my hard work and unrelenting patience for the shit that goes on at the bar. Last night was no different. As much as last night was pretty brilliant; maybe one of the best nights I have worked there...it was not shy on drama. Oy oy oy!!!!

I don't want to talk about the drama. I want to talk about my rock star moments....lol. So it was about, I don't know...11pm....the time is irrelevant...and the Karaoke guy asked over the mic if I was able to sing a song. I was not able to sing a song...the bar was packed and I was busy. I had to yell out over the crowd; No can do! Ha...to my surprise...the entire bar yelled....Yes she can! Go Paula Go Paula. LMAO LOVED IT! And so I went to sing a song I had never sang before...ever! Melissa Etheridge's; I am the only one. Since I have never sang the song before, I had the kick ass Karaoke guy help me with the lyrics and I would blast out the chorus on my own. LOVED IT! When the song was over...the entire bar applauded and for one minute...I was on top of the world. It was like my very own personal concert and there isn't a better feeling than that. I get why rock stars love to tour; you get so much love from the crowd and that is such a treat.

I did say this last night; "Even if I was a millionaire, I would keep my Thursdays at KL". LOL

xo P

And so it begins!

Yay!! Happy Hump Day to all!

I love waking up to the sun pushing through my blinds. I love waking up to my little nerd wagging his tail in my face followed by a wet nose in my eye. LOL I love it when I have a great sleep. I love it when I have a great shift at the bar. That is this day. I can't say that it happens often but when it does...feels good. I have a zumba class tonight that I am super excited for. I swear...this is truly the next best thing to getting my groove on at a club. Granted I am in sweats and runners versus a dress and stilettos. I prefer this way. No money spent and it's only ladies so no one gives a shit that you are sweating your ass off. Good times!

I am sitting here in the office, trying to cipher through my billion thoughts and pick one to chat about. Nothing is standing out to me. I thought about sharing yet again...how small this world is. One of my Dad's friend's friend came in last to the bar. I almost shat my pants. I haven't seen this guy in over 5 years and as soon as I saw him...I knew how I met him. CRAZY! What the hell is he doing at my bar? I asked him just that....turns out he lives in the neighbourhood. Huh!

I feel like something has changed in me. Let me rephrase; I know something has changed in me. It just seems odd to see the actual change. Let me explain...when I was on POF the last time around which was, oh goodness, a year ago...I was all over the dating  business. I went out on 3-4 dates a week. IT WAS CRAZY! My rationale was that I didn't want to waste time chatting online...if there was something there...I wanted to find out for real. Well...I don't have that same mentality this time. I definitely do NOT want to go out on a 100 dates. In fact, I don't really even want to go out on one date. I have gotten lazy or maybe I am just hanging onto the emotional/mental exhaustion from the previous dating regime. Either way; I am not looking forward to getting out there again. This is a bit of a bad start if you ask me. Hmmm!!!

On a lighter note; I stumbled on this guy yesterday that I actually went out on a couple dates with a year ago. He definitely caught my attention the last time as he did this time. Why it didn't work last time? I think we were very different in character. He is a way more folksy/calm/mellow than I am. We clashed before...but I don't believe it would be this way again. Now...because we didn't leave on bad terms at all...I messaged him and said; "LMAO...WOW!! You are still here! Looking good Sunshine!" LOL His reply was just as playful. He asked me out on a date. He happens to be on a trip in Ireland so when he gets back...we are going out. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It blows my mind how things happen. F***S ME UP! And so there it is folks!

xo P

Game on!

Good day world! Happy Tuesday to all of you.

So I woke up this morning sort of early. Earlier than I needed to. I tried to get up to go to the bathroom and I almost fell over. Ha! My whole body is in pain from yesterday's workout. My shoulders/back and abs got it the worst. Laughing is a difficult task for me today. All good though.

So, I have something I would like to share with you...please don't judge me. I do remember the kind of caca that I went through the last time I did this...but I am hopeful that this time will be different. I am confident it will be different because I am in a different place now. Things have changed and if I have learned anything it is that over time....things change. I am sticking to this.

I have joined the Plenty of Fish world once again! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Yup!

Since I have signed up yesterday mid day, I have been bombarded by men. Ha! I honestly wasn't expecting that but I will say it is a treat. I can already sniff out the nerds and man hos. LOL! And so it begins; the saga of dating. I don't know if I am really ready for it. I am sort of in a state of mind that is slightly hesitant to get out there again but I also know that I am not getting any younger and unless I put myself out there...I may not meet Mr. Right or even Mr. Right now. Ha!

Well folks; let the games begin!

xo P

No title today.

Oh Monday...

I don't have anything major to discuss today. In fact, I am sort of struggling with what I am going to write in today's blog. I had a mellow weekend, just as I had planned. Last week was complete chaos and I really needed to chill out. I did just that. I am pretty chilled out actually. I have a workout in an hour and then that will change.

Yesterday was the ideal Sunday. I woke up and looked after my little nerd; took him for a walk. We had breakfast together. Watched a movie together; Being Elmo. I loved Elmo growing up so to see the man behind the Muppet was a real treat. I always loved the show The Muppets. Watched it all the time as a kid. It is incredible to get to see the behind the scenes of the show. I loved the movie!

I think I am going to go and see a movie tonight. Hmmm!!! Either Titanic in 3D or Lockout with Guy Pierce. Hmmm!! I just watched the Titanic yesterday...for the umpteenth time. I loved it! To see it in 3D would be super awesome. Will figure that out later.

I did get some action this weekend come to think of it. LOL!!!

After work on Friday I went and partied at one of my customer's home with a few other people. Had a blast there. I woke up Saturday morning on my own and immediately went to look after my little turd. As I was walking back into my building I noticed that there was action happening at the triplex next door. Side note; my landlord owns my building and the one next door. He has them both up for sale. Of course, if my landlord wanted to show my apartment....he would have had to give me notice. I sort of had a gut feeling that if someone is viewing that triplex...they would be viewing my 5-plex. I didn't get ANY notice at all....so I thought..."we'll see what happens!"

Ha! Within 5 minutes of being back in my home, I get a knock on the door. It was a realtor and her client saying that she has an appointment to view my apartment. Ha!!! I told her NO! No you do not have an appointment and NO you can not view my home. Totally unacceptable. She sort of understood and let me be. About 10 minutes later, I get another knock on the door and this time it was my totally inebriated landlord begging me to let a group of 10 people come into my home to view it. Ha!!! Aside from being totally put off, I was put under pressure. Fine!!! Holding my dog and wearing my pjs, I let a group of 10 people go through my home. I was less than impressed....but I am a bit of a push over and thus...I submitted.

I think at that point I was hoping that one of these people would put an offer in so that I could get a new landlord. I should say this; my landlord isn't really that bad. He is mostly unavailable more so than available. He stays away most of the time. I guess that can be a good thing as well. I haven't had any real problems with him. I guess I am slightly annoyed at his behavior from Saturday and so I am taking it out on him in a harsh way.

Whateves!!!

Till tomorrow xo P

What a day!

I want to start off by saying; It is Friday!!!! Thank the lord! (Please note; I am not religious). This week has been totally and utterly crazy. So much activity and so many events have taken place. I am truly exhausted.

I love that tomorrow is Saturday. I love that I can wake up in peace. Take my little guy for a walk and then come back home to have a killer breakfast and simply chill out. That is my favorite part of the week; Saturday mornings. Yup!!!

So today is a great day for me. I am getting my first pay cheque from a real estate transaction that took place in January. It is about time. LOL! I am going to go and pick up the cheque and then I am going to go to the bank and cut my debt right in half as well pay off my Visa in full and deposit money in my bff's bank account for my portion of the cottage rental this summer. Feels good to be able to do this. I think this is the first time in my life where I am able to feel good about my finances. What a treat! I hope the bank doesn't put a hold it on it. Fingers crossed!

I had one killer workout yesterday. Every inch of my body is in pain. Good pain...but pain non-the-less. I am walking like an 80 year old woman...almost hunched over but limping and waddling around. LOL...what a sight! Ha!

Aside from having lunch with a bff this afternoon, I don't really have any major plans for the weekend. This is FABULOUS!! I am going to do my best to keep it a quiet one. I could use some serious downtime. My dear dear friend who was in town visiting from B.C. has gone back to B.C. now. Sad!! I will miss him dearly. But I will say this; while he was here....2 weeks of major partying. Need to cleanse my body now.

Well folks...I hope you all have a brilliant weekend! See you on the flip side! xo P

Really?

Why do I continue to be surprised? Why? Just when I thought I have been through it all...and have taken the proper measures to minimize the harsh outcomes...another occasion comes around and totally messes me up. I, once again, have no one to blame but myself. How many times do I have to go through this....FACK!!!!

Everything was going great last night at the bar. More or less! Let's just say no one was in the midst of screwing me over...just yet. A young Latino man comes into the bar and right off the bat...we hit it off. We were speaking in Spanish and chatting about wine and Argentina. He is a cultured kid who is working on his masters in Hospitality and happens to be a waiter at my new favorite restaurant...the one I mentioned of a couple weeks ago. Go figure! In my mind, I guessed that this kid is educated, classy, makes great money..etc. I never for one second thought he would be the kind of guy to screw me by not paying his bill. Well...I guessed wrong. When it came to the end of the night and time to collect on the tab...he had no money. WTF!!! Who does this? Who goes out drinking...with NO FRIGGIN MONEY?? Really!

Well, I ripped the guy a new asshole...to say the least. We spoke earlier in the night about him being my waiter at my birthday dinner that I wanted to have at his restaurant. While giving him shit, I might have told him I am going to bring my crew of 8 people...rack up a decent bill and then book it. Leave him high and dry. Of course I don't have it in me to do that...not even remotely. Just saying it made me feel better though. Of course if I ran up a bill at his restaurant it would come close to $500 whereas his tab was $35.00. Ha!!! That's Karma man! LOL

So this guy promised me he would come in on Thursday to pay it. We'll see!

On a much happier note; my car is sparkling and spotless. LOVE IT!

xo P

Annoyed? Yup!

Happy Tuesday!

What can I say? I don't think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I did have some messed up dreams that literally were with me until I opened my eyes this morning. I think that sort of threw me off for the day. I went for a workout first thing this morning and had a blast. You know me....Zumba and I are friends. LOL My trainer decided to jack up the class with a little bit of kick boxing as well. HARD CORE MAN!

From there I had to meet with my accountant. Although this was not my favorite part of the day...it hasn't been the worst part of the day. I haven't actually had a bad day. It is only 2pm.

I guess why I am as annoyed as I am is because the discussion of money and the many hours put into dealing with my budget can piss the shit out of anyone....especially me. To boot; I am waiting on a cheque that hasn't come yet. That could be the most annoying part of my week. Let me add to that annoyance by saying; today is the day my boss at the bar is going to take off $150 from my wages because that complete asshole ran out on his bill. Double whammy! What a day!

What would I really like to do today? Honestly? Wait for it....lol....get a friggin massage, go out for dinner and drinks and then go see a movie. What will I do instead? Work till 5pm and then go home to get ready for my shift at the bar. Tuesdays are ALWAYS dead nights...so on my way to the bar, I will stop at Rabba's and buy my 2 celebrity gossip mags and read them over my 7 hour shift. YAY....can't wait! NOT!

On a lighter note; I am having my car detailed tomorrow. OMG!!! My baby Rocco needs it bad. Oh...and the icing on the cake to that event is that I won't have to pay for it! YAYYYYYY!!!! All good things!

I guess this is a life lesson; just when you start to get into a funk about how shitty things are....a pretty awesome thing comes along and picks me right back up. Thank the gods/angels for the simple pleasures in life.

Chau for now xo P

Get over it!

So far today, I think I have said this to myself a few times already. Why? I seem to be hanging onto some baggage that I really need to shake off. I am not really interested in discussing what is taking up brain power.

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter. I had an eventful weekend. Friday night was a very special night out with my team. Whenever I am in the company of these two friends, things ALWAYS get a little wild. That night was nothing short of crazy. I loved every minute of it. Unlike the other 2, I actually remember everything about it. LOL!! Saturday was a pretty awesome day. It started out with a pedicure along side my mom and sister. Always a treat to get to spend time with them...altogether. From there I went to visit some past clients that have finally moved into their new home. I wanted to bring them a house warming gift. They are truly some amazing people and I am super thankful to know them and to have worked with them. From there, I went to visit with a girlfriend/bff who is town from Montreal. This is always a treat. Whenever she comes out...so does her sister and brother. I love this. What a cool family. Had a brilliant time there....although a quiet one. Seemed like everyone was exhausted and as such, after only 2 pints and some well deserved laughs, we all went home to sleep. Ha!

Then there was yesterday, my family's Easter celebrations. It was fun. My step bro has a 4 wheeler for himself and one for his son. His son is almost 5 now...his 4 wheeler is perfect for him....and sort of perfect for me. LMAO. I took that thing for a couple good runs and then I brought my nephew on with me. I think I peed myself a little from laughing as hard as I did. Can't wait to see the pictures. I think I ate way too much food. I am still full! LOL

I believe that some people still have today off...good for them! I have a baby shower to plan, an article to write, research to do and of course all of my real estate stuff to look after. Busy day for me!

Till tomorrow xo P

It's happening.

So we all know that I am working hard at working out so that I can trim up and get fit. That has been my goal for the past 3 years. I have been successful at achieving my goals although I still have more work to do. I am ok with this. As of late, I have been drinking these vanilla shakes that come from a program called Isogenix. It is brilliant. OMG! It has one main purpose and that is to cleanse your body. Well...that is wonderful. As a result of a cleanse....you lose weight. Yippie!!! LOL I will say this; I have never shat as much as I have lately, in my entire life.

Fun Fact; every human being should be going #2 approximately 3-4 times a day. Did you know that? I already did. I always ignored this fact because I couldn't believe the human body is capable of shitting 3 to 4 times a day. Well...now I know better. LOL!!

Needless to say, I have been seeing progress in terms of my weight loss as a direct result from drinking these shakes. Once again, I am going to thank my wonderful and brilliant mother for once again....saving my life. She is also on this program and suggested I try it to. Win win situation!

So, it is Thursday. YAY! The day before Friday. Yup! I have an action packed weekend ahead. So much action...I am going to be totally exhausted come Monday. All good though. I am young, single and....why the hell not? Right?

I apologize for the brief post today...but I have gots to boogie! Till tomorrow xo P

Frustrated!

So I woke up this morning frustrated and happy all at once. More so frustrated though. Here's why...

A couple years ago, I went out on a date with this guy that I met on Plenty of Fish. He totally blew my mind and aside from that...he really is the epitome of sexy in my books. If you looked up 'sexy' in my dictionary...you would see this guy and that hot kid that comes into my bar. Ugggggh! They are both just so incredibly gorgeous...it does make me sick to my stomach. Well....this guy that I went out on a date with...made it into my dreams last night. FACK!!!! That is the frustrating part. I went out on one date with the guy and then he seriously pissed me off because I came to terms with what I sort of already knew and that is; he is a ladies man. How could he not be? He's a knock out. I am sure he gets more action than we could possibly imagine. The guy has almost 1000 friends on Facebook and they are primarily women. WTF?!!! Uggggh...I guess I am mostly frustrated that I let myself get sucked into the vortex of his charm.

I dreamt that we went on another date. He took me to this supremely odd restaurant that was on the 3rd floor of a giant house. LOL. I think it was some kind of Asian cuisine. We ate on the floor and there was some kind of artwork on the walls that kept us intrigued. Anywho, we are on this date and having a blast. Of course there was some kissing involved which was totally delightful. In real life this guy has dreads. In my dream....he had them cut off. Very different look for the guy. Then my dream gets cut off and next thing I know...we are scuba diving in some ocean. I come up to the surface and see this gigantic ship like hover craft landing on the water and it has two platforms that look like saucers that suck up things in the water, more specifically people who are scuba diving. This is how my date surfaces. He got sucked up by the this ginormous thing. So weird! Then my dream cuts to a completely different scene where I am back at my mom's house...with my date. We are having a family dinner and almost all of my family is there plus 2. Those 2 extra people were Kate Middleton and Prince William. LMAO Turns out they are super close with me and my family. Prince William and I were having a private conversation in some room where he was confiding in me that his relationship with Kate was less than desirable. He goes on to tell me that she is mean and that she treats him like shit. Of course he says all of that with his very polished British accent. That's basically it for that dream. Next thing I know....the hottie from my bar is in my dream. WTF? This dream was not PG rated so I won't get into it. Know this; it was amazing! LOL

Yes those dreams were crazy. I think what put those ideas into my head was my discussion last night with hot kid and his friend. The bar was dead and so...I got to spend some serious quality time with those 2. Had a blast actually. At some point the topic of Plenty of Fish came up. I am sure that lingered on my mind and is the source of the dream concept. Huh!

Speaking about this very gorgeous 19 year old...I am having a harder time now than ever holding back. He is all over me like flies on shit and the temptation is getting more intense by the day. I asked him yesterday if he was a Scorpio...he said yes. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! The chemistry and undeniable desire between Geminis and Scorpios is brilliant. Or...maybe it just a 'me' thing. Who knows. I am really at a loss of what to do. Here is my Gemini challenge; cave into temptation and bring him home with me one of these nights OR pretend that he is not as delicious as I think he is and do everything I can to fend him off. Hmmmm....what to do? Any suggestions?

xo P

Feeling it!

Happy Tuesday! I tell ya...if there is one thing you can count on with me...it is that I can't stay quiet for very long. Yesterday I told you that I had a mellow weekend. Well...last night was anything but mellow. I guess I had some pent up energy that needed to be released. I guess I could have waited for this morning's Zumba class. Instead, I partied my arse off with my buddy Ace. With that said, I missed my workout this morning due to an intense headache that was a result of mass consumption of the following; Jameson, Jack Daniels.....and beer. Good times!

We met at one bar, had a couple beers and shots there. We were also graced with the presence of my B.C. buddy who is in town. From there, my B.C. buddy boogied leaving Ace and I to reap havoc on the strip. It was our plan to bar hop. We left bar #1 and had intended on going to another Irish pub but that plan was squashed as soon as we ran into my bro-in-law who was on his way to another Irish pub. Oh my....I didn't realize how many Irish pubs there are in my hood. Ha!!! Who knew?! So...my bro-in-law was going to play with a band at this bar and naturally I was totally jazzed to watch him play (the drums). Ace and I jumped all over that and before you know it...several beers and shots later...I was up on stage singing with said band...lol! Check it out...

What a treat it is to sing with a live band. LOVED IT!!!!

Ace and I got totally obliterated and as such, had to tap out early. From this bar, we went to the corner store to get some much needed food. That was an adventure all on its own. I have to tell you...we were about 6 blocks, maybe 10 minutes away from my house and Ace insisted on taking a cab. Probably a good idea! LOL We had a feast on arrival and then the 2 of us passed out. What a night!! I will say this; I love my friend Ace. He is hysterical and makes me pee my pants (almost) of laughter. Thank you Ace!!!

As it turns out, Ace & B.C. guy are joining me on another adventure this Friday. I am only slightly worried about what that night will bring me. I will seriously need to hydrate myself and workout everyday in order to feel good about another night of debauchery. Ha! Can't wait!

Feels good!

Happy Monday! How was everyone's weekend? I had an enjoyable weekend. Finally a mellow one!

Friday night I worked. It wasn't horrible. LOL! I have been hearing from a lot of customers that they don't like the new bartender. I usually wouldn't care. In fact, I still don't care. I think the only reason why I am bringing this up is because Friday night was packed with customers that totally disliked her and were over the moon about having me look after them. This does put a smile on my face. But once again, this isn't why I am making a comment about it. I have this regular, an older man who is super super cool. He happens to be super close with the new bartender. Just a small interjection here; this new bartender is actually an old bartender. She was working down the street at the strip club for years (lol). He and I are smoking outside when this patron of mine comes out to have a smoke as well. He starts on a tangent about this new bartender and the whole while I am thinking to myself; EEEEEEKKKK!!!! I kept my mouth shut and simply nodded my head when I felt compelled to contribute. I would catch a glimpse of my cool regular looking at me for acknowledgment. I did my best not to give him anything. I needed to end this so I tossed my smoke and went inside. My regular follows me. He later suggested that he was going to relay those negative comments to the new bartender. I didn't say anything. I can't see her getting fired but then again...I have been surprised before. Huh!

Saturday I woke up in peace. Had an omelet for Sunset Grill for breakfast. MMMMMM!!! I went to see a matinee movie with my sister; Hunger Games. I loved it! I loved the book more. Jennifer Lawrence did an amazing job with the role. I am impressed. This movie was missing a lot of back story which threw me off. You are basically thrown right into the games not knowing very much at all about the characters. Fine! I get that the movie has to be efficient and get all the critical matter in place but I was still left hanging with things that were important to me. Unlike the Twilight Saga, I will only be watching this movie once in theatre. However, I fully intend on buying the trilogy when it comes it out. After the movie I dicked around for a few hours before reconnecting with my sister/bro-in law and nephew. Had dinner with them and then some serious quality time with my nephew. I think I read him 4 stories while trying to put him to bed. Sneaky little nerd has powers...lol! I  almost passed out with him.

Yesterday....was my day of relaxation up until about 4:30pm at which point I had to get ready to have dinner downtown with my sister and a couple of her friends. These ladies weren't just any ladies. These ladies were ones that my sister lived with while studying in Paris 10 years ago. One of the ladies is from Austria and she came with a friend of hers. The other lady is Canadian with a Russian background. All of them are SUPER COOL! The highlight for me however was going to this new restaurant. I LOVE IT!!!! I love it so much in fact that I am thinking of having my birthday dinner there. Yup! I plan ahead. My bday is in 2 months. I am booking it! LOL

So there it is!!! I have run now; gotta go to my chiropractor appointment. YAY!
