So...apparently I am not allowed to post my blog on Facebook anymore. How about that? This definitely gets my blood boiling a little bit. Who are they are censor what we put on our profiles? Ok...I get that there needs to be some level of censorship...I am not totally ignorant. But to stop me from posting my blog? That's not nice.
I will find a way to make it happen!!! Ugggghhhh
So, this morning; bright and early, I had to take my little turd and my mom's little turd to the vet's for their annual check up. Our veterinarian is a man whom I have grown up with. I have known him for 15 years. He had just graduated university as a vet when I did my co-op placement at a local clinic. We worked together for 4 years at which point I left to spread my wings. We kept in touch over a couple years at which point he called me and asked me to open his practice with him and so I did. I worked with him at his clinic for a couple years before leaving to go back to school. He's been my family's vet ever since. Aside from being the best vet I have ever known, he is also absolutely drop dead gorgeous. What a treat?! Good news? The poochies are fine form. So great!
I Skyped with my bff this morning. Man....I miss her so much! Gotta love Skype. We spent an hour catching each other up on each other's lives. We talked about her engagement party that will be happening this summer. We talked about her brilliant new home, her fabulous fiance and her actual wedding plans for next year. My goodness....so much to talk about! LOL I can't wait to see her face this summer. YAY!!!!
Today is Thursday. We know what that means? Karaoke day!!!! I have been dying to sing Big Wreck's Albatross. I have asked our songsmith if he has it. Will find out soon enough if he does. Fingers crossed!!
Enough for today! xox P

It's raining men....hallelujah!
LOL!!! What can I say world? Seriously! I just finished talking to my dear Mother about this topic. There is something happening with the universe and me....and men. It is officially crazy up in my world! LOL
I can't even tell you that all of them are credible or even note worthy. No offense to them. Here's an example of what I am talking about;
Last Thursday a young handsome man came into the bar. I knew him....sort of! He works at the LCBO in my hood. Whenever I would go there....I would make sure to stand in his line because he is absolutely stunning. Uggghhhh...!!! I am sure he took note of me...there were special smirks exchanged. This was confirmed last week at the bar. Who cares how he got to be there....bottom line was he was there. Some flirting was exchanged and he gave me his number, I gave him my card. He immediately texted me and has continued to do so since then. Now...over the weekend and into yesterday...the guy has been proving to be adamant about seeing me. So much so...it strikes me as a bit odd. The same could be said for this other guy...a young handsome man...again from the bar. LOL!! He is an intelligent human being who is really quite funny and entertaining. He is 7 years younger than me...and is persistent at trying to make plans with me. So that makes 2.
Then we have the gentleman who I went out on a date with on Saturday....who's relentless about connecting with me again. In the case of this guy...I am sort of turned off at the level of persistence. Further more, he has said things to me that are a little much considering how much time we've spent with each other...one date.
Let's not forget about Victor; my Russian hottie and Hugo....lmao!
On the one hand...I am totally flattered and sort of loving it. On the other hand...I feel weird about it. What is happening. Granted this is my time in the annual cycle to flourish...the month of the Gemini. I feel like I could easily nail down this much action to that basic element of the universe. Yup...I am going to stick to that. LOL
I will say this; although it's raining men....I have still managed to keep my lady like composure. I haven't made any of them boy toys and I haven't mis-lead anyone. I would say....."I did good!!"

All kinds of action....
Yup. I got all kinds of action this past weekend. It was action packed!! LOL
Of course I worked Friday night as usual. Nothing exciting to report there. Saturday is when the fun began. I really needed to catch up on sleep and I really wanted to spend a few hours relaxing. I made a serious effort to do that. At the beginning of the day...I had only one plan of action. I was going to go on my second date from POF; a fellow Latino whom I've been chatting with for a few weeks now. It was supposed to be a brief meeting but of course....nothing works out the way you had intended.
This was the agenda. I was going to rest until 5pm at which point I would go on the date and only spend an hour with him and then come home and continue to chill. Ha!!! That plan was taken over by another plan as of 1pm in the afternoon. I ended up catching up with a friend at 3:30 for a quick drink. I then went home to get ready for the date at 5pm. I was supposed to get together with another friend at 6pm which was brilliant because that would have kept me on a time frame with that date. No such luck. My 6pm appointment couldn't get to me at that time. So we delayed our encounter. So...I went on my date which was really really delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Started out with drinks followed by Tapas at a local resto that my friend owns. Loved the food and the Argentine wine. YUM!!! We were together for 4 hours....lol! Far from my one hour allotment....lol! From there....went to pick up one of my bff's for an insane night out.....at the strip club. I was determined to see my favourite Russian hottie. Yum!!! So....we go. My 6pm appointment decided to join my bff and I at the strip club. So so so fun!!!
What you need to know is that my bff is a lesbian. The fact that she was a trooper and came with me to a male strip club....she deserves a gold star! Not only that....but she was actually sort of captivated by a hot beefcake and once I knew that....I insisted on she getting a lap dance from this guy. LMAO!!! She did! She ended up throwing this guy around....LMAO!!! Of course my Russian hottie was there. Of course I got a few more lap dances from him. Things didn't end with the Russian. I was quickly won over by another drop dead handsome man (stripper) name Hugo. LMAO!!!! He also gave me free lap dances. This confuses me a little. That's two strippers who are spending time with me....lots of time....and aren't charging me. Can someone explain that? I honestly don't really care for a reason....as long as I don't have to spend money....is an amazing thing. YaY!!!!
My girlfriend who joined in the fun....also had an amazing time. So much so....she wants us to do it again this coming weekend for my birthday celebrations. My goodness! As a side note; there is a bachelorette party happening next weekend....and it part of it will be held at the strip club. That makes for 3 weekends in a row. OMG!!!!! That is a lot of naked men.....hot naked men. Is it possible to overload on hot naked men? LMAO
That is the question of the day!!!!!
Yesterday...what a lovely day! My bff and I woke up happily and had a brilliant breakfast. From there....we decided to pretend like it was our long weekend seeing as both of us had to work last weekend. We went to the beach with burritos and beer. She played Blues music from her phone and we sat and laughed for hours waterside. Brilliant day followed by a brilliant day. Best weekend of the season.
Happy Monday to all! xo P

Hurting!
Suffering from some major heartburn today. Ugggghhh!!! What a day! So, after only getting maybe 5 hours of sleep last night...or this morning....I had to take my car to get new rims and new summer tires. What a treat!!! It did cost me a pretty penny....but I had no choice. I needed them. Check it out!!!
Yay for me!!!
Well folks...I am struggling today. I did have a few shots last night. Not as many as I can usually put back but the collaboration of exhaustion and the few (maybe 10 or so) shots of Jack Daniels...not doing me any favours. With that said; I have to go and run a couple errands before getting ready for my shift at the bar...which means I have to boogie!
Happy Friday to all!!! xo P

What a day!
At first I thought I was going to cry my eyes out....will explain that in a minute. Now....after one hour of intense boxing and kickboxing...I have settled my mind enough to focus on how to resolve the issue.
Things are happening with my business. Big things! With that said, I have had to face some realities. One of those realities is the following; when people see my face or name on a 'For Sale' sign....inevitably they are going to be curious about who I am and they are going to look me up; Google me. I had a discussion with my Mom and it was decided that potential clients seeing my blog isn't going to be beneficial to my business. My first reaction was of complete devastation. Was I going to have to shut down my blog? I immediately had heart palpitations. I was running late to my workout session....so I had to run from this conversation with my Mom. On route to my session....tears in my eyes....I could only think of how sad this made me. I am in love with my blog. It so much apart of me....without it...I feel empty. Of course I realize that this is a bit of a dramatic outlook but know this; my blog is cathartic for me. I don't know what I would do without it. Seriously!!!!!!
So....there I am, beating the shit out of the punching bag; throwing punches, hooks, high kicks etc. My trainer got a sense of my rage and sadness and as such....did me a favour and pushed me to my limits. Thankfully!!! I managed to work through the sadness and rage and focus on how to make things work. THANK GOODNESS for my angel of a trainer. On my way home....I came to my senses and focused on how to make mend this situation. Let's hope it works!!!!
With that said; I want you all to take note that I am changing my blog address and name. You will NO LONGER be able to find me by searching the current address or name.
As of tomorrow; you can find me at
griffenmundo.blogspot.com
So....I will be starting all over again. I don't care!!! At least I have my blog!!! Yippie! xo P

Mama Mia...
Deep breath in....let it all out. Deep breath in.....let it all out. I have done that a couple times...slowly re-gathering my composure. It is a beautiful day out....warm, sunny and lovely. What is wrong with our weather people...for 2 days they have been calling for rain and for 2 days I have been anticipating bad weather and yet....we haven't had any. Don't get me wrong...I don't want rain. I have plans to sit on a roof top patio tonight....I hope that it doesn't rain on me. Again....deep breath in.....and let it all out! LOL
I had an enjoyable evening last night. Made sure it was quiet and tranquil. I passed out on my couch and eventually made it to my bed. Had an amazing sleep. Woke up rested but that was immediately tarnished by a bad phone call. Hence...the deep breathing. It's ok...working on shaking it off.
I will tell you something....I think I am seriously going to consider getting a prescription for anxiety. I just booked my annual exam with my doctor...this is a top priority in discussion of what has transpired over the year...lol!
My idea is to focus on work....which is something I have always done anyways. Today, however, I will need to make a conscience effort to put all of my brain power on my work...not a difficult task seeing as I have a lot on my plate as of late. YAY!!!!
Well folks....gotta get back to it!

We had it good!
First of all...my nails look disgusting. However...I am going to get a manicure tomorrow. Not all is lost in the world! LOL
So...I trust everyone had an amazing weekend? Up north perhaps? Sitting the sun? Swimming maybe? So great for you! I on the other hand had one day of bliss out of the 3. The rest of the time was working. CACA!!! (By the way....Caca means 'shit' or 'pooh' in Spanish!). My Saturday was absolutely delightful...even though I was functioning on 3 hours of sleep. Can we say crazy? I had to shower, drive to Toronto (from Mississauga), drop off my dog at my Dad's and go and pick up my bff all before 10am. Yuck! I did do it however. How? I am the ultimate trooper. So...my bff and I drive up to Georgian Bay. Had a blast along the way of course. Stopped at a couple yard sales just for shits and giggles and then we finally arrive at the dock where we were to go for a boat cruise. We were meeting up with another of my bff's mom and grandpa for this water journey. How did this come to be? Well...my bff who lives in Europe is hosting her engagement party here...on this boat in Georgian Bay. This was the first cruise of the year and as such....we had to see what it was all about; basically scoping out the scene. What a scene it was!!!!! So friggin beautiful. Takes my breath away. Check it out....
After 3.5 awesome hours in the sun on the water, my bff and I parted ways from my other bff's mom and grandpa...to head back to the city. Along the way....we stopped at this amazing 'Fresh Cut Fries' shop where we split poutine and had a burger each. SO YUMMY!!!!! MMMMMMM!!! From there....we continued on to my bff's parent's house where her brother was hosting a party. Had so much fun....overload of fun. That was my Saturday folks.
Now...my focus for the week? Work work and work....with my real estate business and for this weekend? RELAX!!!
Cheers to a short week! xo P

Brain hurts!
You know what I discovered? A Jack Daniels hangover is very different from a Gin hangover or a wine hangover. My brain hurts! It is moving slowly. I am short fused. I did very much wake up on the right side of the bed and up until a few minutes ago...I had a perma smile. What has thrown me off my la-la-land trip is an argument I had with my sister and FACEBOOK is driving me mental.
For some reason....can not even get onto the login page. I figure it had something to do with my computer...but it is also happening on my mom's computer. WTF is going on? As for the argument with my sister...I will see her in 45 minutes...will deal with her then. Sort of extra frustrated about that because we haven't argued in ages and it feels really weird to have yelled at her as she did to me. I guess we were due for some battling.
Time to reflect on a positive note (s); last night was awesome. Again...not the usual crowd for a Thursday. Missing a few key players. All good though. Still had a great time and clearly had a few shots of Jack Daniels...considering my initial comment. Ay ay ay....my brain hurts just thinking about it. Ouch! Anyways...the hot ginger came in....and as much as I wanted to devour him whole as soon as I saw him...I managed to maintain composure....up until I took him home. LOL!! I will say this; he leaves me speechless. I could spew out a hundred adjectives that describe him and how he makes me feel but that wouldn't do him justice. I would love to spend more time with him....if only I had more time! Ugggghh!!!
Ok folks....sorry for the brief write-up today. Gotta boogie! Happy Long Weekend to all! xo P

Bright eyed and bushy tailed!
My goodness it's gorgeous outside. I first opened my eyes this morning at 6am. Why? I could feel the light burning my eyelids...lol! I need to seriously consider getting a black out curtain. I have blinds for the big bay window in my room but it really doesn't hold back that much light when the sun is directly facing that way. It also really warms up my room...which can make for some slight discomfort....when it gets super hot this summer. Yup...time to get a black out curtain. Don't get me wrong...I love the sun and the light...very refreshing it is! But only when you are ready for it. Not at 6am. No complaints however! I haven't worked at the bar since last Friday. WHAT A TREAT!!! It has been such a pleasure to catch up on sleep and spend time with my family and do all that I need to do with a restful and peaceful mind and body.
However, today the shit show begins. I have a 19 hour work day today and tomorrow. I am heading up north first thing in the morning on Saturday which means no sleep there. Drive for 2+ hours to Georgian Bay. This is not a chore and thus...I will thoroughly enjoy it. Upon arrival...have a cocktail with 2 amazing women before hitting up a boat cruise for 3.5 hours. After this...may or may not have another drink with these ladies before heading back to the city for a shindig. Sunday...will get to sleep in but I still have to work at night. Monday...work all day and all night. Uggggghhhh.....big sigh after writing all that. LOL
Aside from feeling super rested...I am totally ready to work tonight at the bar. In fact, I am excited. As we all know...I LOVE KARAOKE! I wish I could hit that up everyday. LOL I am super energized and thus...I can feel the energy oozing out of me. I am sure my A game will be ramped up. Part of the excitement can be attributed to my possibly seeing the hot ginger I spoke of a couple times. As I write that I am giggling....why? I can't help but fantasize about him. For instance....LMAO....he walks into the bar...I will feel compelled to approach him and devour him whole...except that would be totally unprofessional. I imagine him standing at the bar talking to me...and I literally jump over the bar and devour him whole....or....I grab him by the collar of his shirt and drag him into the bathroom at which point...I devour him whole. LOL Either way...he's going down!!!!
LMAO!!!!
Can you imagine? Ha! Of course I am not nearly as courageous in person. Further more, I do my darnedest to keep my personal life to myself...away from everyone at the bar. With that said; there will be no outbursts of any sort with my hot ginger. At least I will try with all my might to contain myself. LOL
Oh dear!!!!
Till tomorrow! xo P

Delayed delayed delayed!
Good morning!
I have to apologize for not writing yesterday. It was one of those days. Couldn't find the time to even go to the bathroom...lol. Ok...not that crazy! I did make sure to go to the bathroom.
So a few things; for the first time in ages...I am having an on-going conversation with a man...actually 2 men. Ha!!! What a treat! In my gut I honestly thought I wouldn't continue to chat with either of these 2 dudes. But...they have surprised me and so here we are...! I am seeing one on a more regular basis, by that I mean I have seen him twice and will be seeing him again tomorrow. The other guy...well, I went on one date with him a few weeks ago. It was short and brief. I am sure I wrote about it. It was pleasant and yet I did not think I would hear from him again. I was wrong. I haven't stopped hearing from him...lol! He texts me everyday with pleasantries. Really quite delightful. We have made arrangements for a couple dates and I have had to break them due to work related events. Hopefully next week will be the week. I am skeptical about this one however. Not for any real reason other than I have a bit of a complex....my own insecurities. I feel he might be out of my league. Maybe that isn't the right way to put it....he is close to 40, incredibly successful and established. I don't mind the age but I do feel a bit inferior when it comes to his career successes. I respect someone's hard work and applaud their ambition and drive. I am proud of where I am...but always wish I was further. Of course he has 6 or 7 years on me...but I still have some deep brooding issue about it. I am sure I am not being clear with my feelings but that is because I am not totally sure what I am trying to say. When I was on this date with him...he was very charming and kind and warm and delightful. He didn't make me feel awkward. He was a total gentleman and yet...I felt like a bit of a child in his presence. Ok...maybe it is an age thing. I guess in my mind...I may be 31 on the cusp of 32 but in my heart...I still feel like I am in my early 20's. Ugggghhh gosh....I DON'T KNOW!!!
Moving along....dude who I get to see tomorrow....who I blogged about last Friday...is pretty fantastic. Aside from being incredibly delicious and scrumptious (lol), he is very warm and darling. He sort of reminds me of the best parts of some of my ex-boyfriends. Does that sound horrible? I won't get into the details of those characteristics, just know that he feels (emotionally and physically) familiar and comfortable. This is incredibly hard to find in a perfect stranger. Let's see how this turns out! Will keep you posted!
On a completely unrelated note; I went with my sister to her 7 month ultrasound of her twins. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!! They are getting so big...it is hard to believe that there are 2 of them in her relatively small tummy. It is mind blowing. They are both healthy and happy. Only 2 months to go before they are apart of this world. SO EXCITED!!!!
Well folks...that's all I got for today! xo P
I have to apologize for not writing yesterday. It was one of those days. Couldn't find the time to even go to the bathroom...lol. Ok...not that crazy! I did make sure to go to the bathroom.

Oh boy.....
Good day folks, Happy Monday to all!
So it's Monday. Lovely! Not! Actually...with this weather...who can complain about anything?! Unless of course you are locked up in some cubicle that isn't close to a window. That would suck. My heart goes out to you!
So what can I share with you today? Well...I can safely say that I am all caught up on my sleep. I got 10 hours sleep last night. That is like 5 hours more than I am used to. In fact, I think my body can't handle so much sleep. I first opened my eyes at 6am and realized...hey...I don't have to get up for another 2 hours. So I snoozed and snoozed and snoozed some more. Loved it! It is amazing how great your body and mind feels when you are rested. What a difference?!
So I went to go and see Dark Shadows with my mom and sister yesterday. Can't say that I loved it. It was simply...ok! Gotta love Johnny Depp...but there was something really missing from the plot. It was a little dry and quite slow. I have to say that the only captivating character in the movie was Eva Green's; Angelica. She was amazing in the movie. My mom and I originally wanted to see 'Avengers' but my sister won the battle which is how we ended up seeing Dark Shadows. Well...seeing as it's just my mom and I tonight...we are going to go and see The Avengers together. YAY!!! Can't wait to see Chris Hemsworth; Thor...that sexy sexy sexy man. Ay ay ay! Just so you know who I am talking about, here is a pic for your viewing pleasure...
I also have a huge crush in Chris Evans. This movie is packed with hotties...it will be a fantastic movie to watch...tons of eye candy. Mmmmmm!!!!
Speaking of hot men...I seem to have an affliction towards gingers as of late. There is this stunner who has come into my bar a couple times. He's the yummy one that I spoke of last Friday. He's as much a red head as one can be. Then....last night I had a dream about a red head. LOL Not sure what's happening. Who cares! I always knew that I was into gingers. One of my first real boyfriends was a ginger....that was back in 1998.
So folks, I will give you the low down on The Avengers tomorrow. Have a fabulous Monday! xo P

Battle of the minds.
Today is a great example of a day where my internal battle as a Gemini is EVER pronounced. Here's why;
I am single. I have been single for a very long time. Of course I did date that 'special' Mr. Fabulous for 6 months but relative to how long I have been single...that isn't very long at all. Now we all know that I work like a maniac and that my free time is very limited which means that my avenues for meeting men is also very limited.
I had brunch with my dear friend Ace today and we had a very sincere convo about my single-hood behaviors. I came to some realizations of why things are the way they are and that is; messed up...lol! I mean...who falls for a male stripper? Really! I do! I was fantasizing about this guy for a solid week; day dreaming about dating him. The key word in that sentence was 'fantasizing'. How ridiculous a notion it is to think that that was even remotely possible. Ha! Dream on....lol!
So here's the deal; I am on Plenty of Fish. I have been on one date. It wasn't horrible. It was brief and sort of delightful. The dude has reached out and asked me out again. I said 'sure'! Can you get a sense of my enthusiasm? Now...seeing as my energy contribution to POF is dismal, is why I am left with only one avenue and that my friends and family is 'the bar'...my bar. I can see you all cringing...don't worry...so am I!! You really need to realize one thing; I am not looking for my future husband or even my next boyfriend. What is left? Boy toys! LOL With that said, here's my rationale on that; it's like being a kid in a candy store. So many options...sort of....and you know you can have whatever you want...so you pick your favorite and eat it. Well...let's transition that to men instead of candy. At the bar which is packed with men primarily, I have a selection to choose from. I see something (someone) that catches my eye and I go ahead and take it. The great part is that I don't have to work hard for it. It sort of just falls in my lap...like not having to pay for your candy at the store....lol and it happens so randomly that it is a welcome treat when it actually happens. Last night I had one of those random treats. Yum yum yum...lmao!
The battle? I am thoroughly enjoying myself and yet...I have a guilty conscience. It's not like I am doing anything wrong or inappropriate and yet...I am struggling to rationalize my actions. The fact is; I don't have it in me to nurture a relationship which is why I am probably not finding anyone of actual substance. Clearly my message to the universe is that I can only handle these ever delightful trysts that happen occasionally. This is my own psychosis that clearly I need to not spend so much time dwelling over. It is what it is!
Right?
Happy Friday to all! xo P

Down and out!
You know when you are having an off day...you feel a little deflated? You aren't depressed about anything simply feeling a slight lack of enthusiasm? I am sure we all have those days. Well....it would seem that today...is my day to feel this way.
I will say this though; went to see my chiropractor. We got the point where I only needed to see him every two weeks. Well...we are back to weekly visits. I am surprised that I can tell that things are regressing back. I asked him if that was possible; that my body could revert back to an unhealthy stage. He said absolutely! Of course anything with the body can be affected by any events that happen throughout the day/week/month etc. In my case; stress, anxiety and my nervous behavior from over the past 2 weeks has pushed my body back. I have decided that I really need to amp up my mental exercises...lol!
Happy thoughts;
1. My parent's pool is going to be opened at the end of this month.
2. Next Saturday is the first of many events pertaining to my bff's wedding plans. LOVE IT!
3. I am excited to work at the bar tonight. Love Thursdays!
4. Feel invigorated by my adjustment with the chiropractor. Thank goodness for my doctor.
5. Lovin the post workout pain from my session with my trainer yesterday. Makes me giggle...lol.
6. Excited to celebrate my brilliant mother on Sunday. To be frank about it; we should celebrate our mothers every single day of our lives. I say thanks to my angels and the universe every day for her and my entire family.
7. Can't wait to be in the company of my dear friends this Saturday.
8. I am trying to come up with 10 happy thoughts....running out of them....lol....here's one; my bday is in 3 weeks and 5 days. This isn't a really great thought...but it isn't a bad one either. Just another reason to celebrate life. YAY!
9. I have been fantasizing about going shopping. That always makes me feel good. LOL
10. I am alive!!! LOL
Well folks; today is Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday and the day after that is Saturday. All good things. LOL!

Lessons!
I get that life is all about learning; learning all sorts of different lessons. We have to learn lessons about our social and professional lives as well as lessons about who we are and who we should be or need to be. There are lessons that demonstrate what complete idiots we can be. There are more potent lessons about how to manage our affairs whether it be with a boyfriend/girlfriend or our business. Lessons up the ying yang.
I think I learn a lesson a day. That's pretty productive wouldn't you say?
I learned a big one today. This one was big enough to sharpen my professional skills and so much so...that I am confident that things will be different from this point on. I know I had to experience this event that had transpired earlier today. I think I would have continued living in naivety had what happened today...not happen. For this I am thankful. I am saying my thanks for the lesson but only because it is the right thing to do. If you asked for my absolute honest feeling of the situation, I would tell you that I would very much like to go to the liquor store and buy a bottle of Jack Daniels and drink that to my face or maybe even see my trainer once again today...just to do some more boxing and beat the shit out of the punching bag...again! Ha!!!
I have taken a few deep breaths. I have gotten some positive counselling from my Mom and I am coming around. Tomorrow is another day.
Hmmm....what lesson will I learn tomorrow?
I am still going to go the liquor store today....but only for a bottle of wine that I will share with my Dad. LOL

Patience....really need to work on this!
I am discovering that I have very little patience when it comes to certain things. Here are a couple of examples of when I can feel that I have non at all and that I am going to lose my shit from total annoyance...
1. When you drop your house keys trying to unlock the door. This usually happens when my hands are full.
2. When you try to pull the key out of the lock and it gets stuck. This couldn't be anymore annoying to me. When this happens, I have to seriously make a conscious effort to take a deep breath and be gentle with the key.
3. When the computer doesn't respond fast enough to my command. Ugggghhhh....brutal!
4. Learning how to use a new piece of technology....ie. my new BB playbook. It is a beautiful thing but I quickly discovered a flaw. I can not get out of one application (Games; Tetris) without turning the device off. This is brutal. I figured it was totally my ignorance that is in the way but I did a search and I am by far not the only dealing with this issue. Hmmm!!!
5. Assholes who don't tip at my bar. You have heard me say this MANY times.
That's about it for now. These are the actions that have taken place as of late. If I can work on my patience threshold...I think I may slow down the graying of my hair process. Maybe!!!
On a lighter note; I had a wicked workout with my trainer today. We have a one-on-one tomorrow. I am sure that I will struggle to walk on Thursday. Love it!
Peace out! xo P

Need sleep!
Happy Monday world!
Man oh man...this past week was insane. All great fun and super busy...but insane. I am looking forward to a) a quiet night tonight and b) a relatively mellow week. I had to work all weekend for the weekend bartender...which meant that I didn't have much of a weekend and having worked last night...leaves me sluggish today. Once again....I am not complaining....just stating the facts.
So I am amp-ing up my techno skills....I have joined the Blackberry Playbook world. Super excited to get into all that it has to offer. Don't have it just yet. Will pick it up tomorrow morning. Yayyyyy!!!!
My brain is a little slow today. I am having a hard time nailing down one idea to share with you. Here's one; I heard from the Russian stripper. Ha!!! We are going to make plans for a date. Ha! Should be interesting to say the least. Either way...I am seeing him this Saturday with my team of ladies....AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! LMAO
You know...I would actually really really love to go and see a movie in the theatre tonight. Anyone want to join me?

My goodness...
Have I told you how much I love my family lately? So much so...I can barely contain it. I have the best family ever. This also includes family friends; people who have been tied/connected to and part of my family for as long as I can remember and then some. Love them all just as much.
Today I thank you the universe for them all. Such beautiful, delightful warm and loving people. Imagine being surrounded by 100+ people that are so full of love and happiness? It is the best feeling in the whole world. I wish I could have more of it. I don't want to be greedy though. I realize that I should take it and run with it seeing as I got a heavy dose last night. Loves to all of them! More specifically though, my cousin the groom who is officially a married man now...to a brilliantly fabulous woman who I can officially call family. Loves to you darling!
So, in preparation for last night's festivities, my mom and I went to get our hair done and just for shits and giggles...our make up as well. I really didn't care for the make-up part of it cause I think I do pretty well on my own...but I figured my hair stylist who also does make-up might have more colours to work with AND she said she would give me eye lashes. I was sold!!! LOL My Mom and I were at the salon for 5 hours...it was INSANE. I did get the eyelashes and I did look like a million bucks....so in the end...it was worth it. Now...what you need to know is that my updo was anything but simple. I had about 100 bobby pins in there and 3 small ponytails that had 2 small elastics each. When I finally got home last night...I wanted that shit out and so I spent about 15 minutes picking out pins. When it came to getting the elastics out...I struggled. After a few glasses of white wine, a couple double gin/sodas...this was not an easy task. I decided to whip out the scissors. I thought I was successful in getting them out...and I was. What I didn't realize is that I had cut out a chunk of hair in the process. I mean...I went straight to bed after getting the elastics out. That chunk didn't fall out till a couple hours passed by this morning. I was on the phone chatting with a friend of mine who is also a customer at the bar. She was giving me the low down about last night's episodes that took place in my absence. We were in the midst of a discussion when I see a chunk of black hair on the floor. I nearly shat my pants. I did scream out of some degree of hysteria. Thankfully, I do not have a bald spot and I have plenty of hair to cover up whatever gap there may be. EEEEKKK!
Today is Friday. I don't have to work tonight. YAY!!! I do have to work tomorrow night and Sunday night however. It's cool though. It will be a treat to work a Sat night cause there is a band. Looking forward to it actually.
Happy weekend to all! xo P

She was giving me the low down about last night's episodes that took place in my absence. We were in the midst of a discussion when I see a chunk of black hair on the floor. I nearly shat my pants. I did scream out of some degree of hysteria. Thankfully, I do not have a bald spot and I have plenty of hair to cover up whatever gap there may be. EEEEKKK!
Today is Friday. I don't have to work tonight. YAY!!! I do have to work tomorrow night and Sunday night however. It's cool though. It will be a treat to work a Sat night cause there is a band. Looking forward to it actually.
Happy weekend to all! xo P

I got told!!!
Happy Hump Day!!!
This week has been so special. I am working such messed up hours. It seems that I am working every other shift than my usual ones, 4 shifts at that. I guess it all starts with this wedding business. I know I have already mentioned that my dear cousin is getting married tomorrow so that was the initial motivation to switch things around. Last night was a huge family dinner and it was so amazing to have all of us in one room. I loved it. Now...I haven't seen my older cousin; the groom's brother in awhile. He had much to say to me last night...lol. He is an avid reader of my blogs and as such, had much in the way of advice/commentary and suggestions for me. The only comment that stuck with me is; "Stop this!"...with a very firm voice. He doesn't like the idea that I am crushing on a male stripper. Fair enough. I do see that that episode is a silly one. One that I am going to continue with until there is some finality to it. Sorry cous....I love you but...I gotta do what I gotta do.
I think I have everything in order for the big day tomorrow. I just need to buy some earrings and then I am good. I have to work all day today and tonight. EEEKK! I am going to be sure to sleep in tomorrow although not by much because I have an appointment at 10:30am. Come to think of it....there will be no sleeping in. Uggggh!!! I think I am going to take Friday off entirely. I don't think that is much to ask seeing as I have to work all weekend. Yup...it is decided. Done and done!
And so...since I have been captivated by this Russian man...I have had zero interest in Plenty of Fish. I go on there and after a minute...I leave. Hmmmm!!! Until I get some closure on that this guy...I can't move on.
Let's see what happens!!! xo P

Making a move.
So here we are; 4 days past my introduction to the hot Russian stripper and I CAN NOT get my mind off of him.
I was working out with my trainer this morning. As she was kicking my ass, we discussed that I should simply 'man up' and go the extra step...give the guy my number. How do I get this done? I will recruit my friend (who is the reason why I went there in the first place) to pass on my number. Yup!!! It is done! I already asked my friend to do this. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Fingers crossed folks.
Moving along; today is day one of family gatherings to celebrate my dear cousin's wedding. We have family who flew in from Argentina for this monumental occasion. As a Latin family...we know how to celebrate....lol! The wedding is on Thursday....so excited. I bought my dress in Argentina when I was there in March. I can not wait to get it back on. I will be sporting my snake skin (faux) forest green stilettos along with this knockout black dress. My mom and I are tag teaming an appointment with our hair stylist for our up dos....and....I got my nails done today. The only thing pending are earrings. Need to go and buy some tomorrow.
Well folks; I would love to discuss yet another topic today...however I am running low on time to get ready. So...I gots to boogie!
Till tomorrow xo P
