this is me live blogging…

ciavarro and my father are behind me tiling the back splash…

im listening to johnny cash…with a side of raspberry beret…

i think this tiling is going to cause a lot of frustration today…

not good…

there is no shower…which means chad wont be clean for 3 days…

also not good…

my dad is wearing a “department of corrections” t-shirt he bought from the movie Double Jeopardy when they were selling off all the stuff from the set…

ummm i just got a caffe mocha from starbucks and i am now in heaven…

my nails are long and glossy…

i like living the high life…

im looking up axl rose lyrics…

lalallallalaa…

everything is dirty and dusty and sandy and it needs to be clean…

it dont make dollaz it dont make sense…

i use to play quake 3 back in the day when i hung out with real nerds…

now im making pizza in the misplaced oven…

TILE SAW…

im sleepy…

i could go on but i think thats it for now…

maybe i will add more later…

yes cabin fever…

again another day where yours truly is stuck in the office all alone and its driving me CRAZY…

since no one is here i am not motivated to do anything…and even tho i do get everything done it takes me twice as long cause i just don’t want to do it…

the warehouse staff has left for the day which means its all locked up and i don’t have access to it…which also means i have nothing to do because all my projects are done in the warehouse…

i also have to stay an extra hour tonight because im the only one here with a key and the pattern drafters need to stay until 6…

i seem to be complaining a lot about work these days…i still love what i do it just feels like ive been in this ‘alone’ situation for far too long…Alicia has been away for weeks helping out all the stores who are missing staff…which leaves me with no one to eat lunch with and no one to have fun with…

i decided to put up a bulletin board in our office space so that it doesn’t look so hospital like around here…everything is really dirty and covered in fabric scraps…

im at a loss today…i don’t know what to do anymore…

im going to fall asleep and i need to stop complaining…

but apparently people love me and think i am amazing…

matt and i email each other every day…
i think i mentioned that before…
the subject titles for our emailed are usually lyrics from sappy songs…
for example…

OOOOOO BABY I LOVE YOUR WAYS
THERE WERE NIGHTS WHEN THE WIND WAS SO COOOLLLDD

its a trend we take pride in…
emailing each other every day discussing what we are working on and who we saw shopping at our stores is basically the only source of joy these days…
remember when i was complaining about how much stress was going on and i never had a second to breath…
now it is the complete opposite…

i now experience days of solitude where i am the only one in the office…
i come and go and yearn for social contact…
yes me…the girl who would happy live in a cave by herself…
no more!

an excerpt from my last email from matt…
he is a gem…

Its in Toronto
Fat people are gross
I don’t know anything about local stuff
Most of it comes from china
Im drawing a tube dress right now

right to the point…

it was pouring rain yesterday morning so i wore a sweater…
an hour later it was sunny and hot like hell…
i suffered…
today it was sunny so i wore my new t-shirt…
it has been dark and cloudy all day…
again i suffer…

dont you find it so enjoyable hearing about my boring days?
the only reason i am blogging right now is so that i have something to do…

ok so must haves for Fall 2007…

High waisted pants
Something leopard
Dark Purple/Fuchsia
Long sweaters
Metallic Bags

im going shopping in the warehouse…

we were talking about something and chad kept saying ‘hedges’ and i dont know what i was thinking but i thought he kept saying ‘head jizz’…and i was all confused…needless to say it made for a very interesting conversation…

this is the first tuesday ever after the august long weekend where i dont have to go back to school…and instead of feeling all sad and missing it i am actually quite enjoying it…even though it was always exciting and fun to buy all new school supplies and start new classes and get new clothes and then rush home to watch new episodes of saved by the bell…its good to be out of all that and not have to worry about homework and projects and tests and all the non fun stuff…

…

this long weekend was a little bit of a bust…although all i have been complaining about is how i want a weekend to relax and enjoy the sun and just hang out, this was the weekend were stuff was ready to be installed and progress could be made…but…it had to be put on hold for a bit…because dearest chad and his bad knees got in the way…

after helping a neighbour move a ladder saturday afternoon his left knee swelled up like a balloon full of water which made it almost impossible for him to walk or do anything standing…having no idea how he hurt his knee in a matter of 5 minutes he ignored it and sat on the floor and sanded the bathroom cabinet…but then it started to hurt so he rested it for a bit…in knowing his knees he figured the swelling would go down by morning and if not we would go to the clinic…

so sunday morning came and off to the clinic we went…for two and a half hours…waiting…we figured they would just drain his knee and he’d be all back to new…but no…they didnt want to possibly cause an infection…plus they had no idea what was going on with his knee…so they sent us home…and a pack of ice and said if it gets worse go to the hospital…greeeaaat…

so there he sat…in his pjs…in his big comfy chair…ice on his knee…all day long…

but he felt bad not being able to do anything so he decided he was going to attempt to start working on the cabinet hardware…

he wanted to use the drill…but he couldn’t stand for very long so i didnt know how he was going to get it done…

but he got up and screwed a knob…ha…on the cabinet drawers…and then sat back down…

we ended up spending the evening watching holmes on homes and home renovation shows…cause thats what we’ve become…chad figured out he could sit in his chair and screw in hinges so he amused himself with that…

then monday morning came and it was the same thing…at least this time he was able to stand for longer so we actually got all the cabinet doors up…


it was good that it rained all weekend long cause otherwise i would have been pissed stuck indoors all day…even though its not his fault his knee is swollen…but still…poor chad…

today…again…is the same…as he sleeps in all day using his ‘get out of jail free card’ for at least the next couple of days…tonight he is insisting we go to costco since he is out of peanut butter and needs to buy the jumbo bucket full or else he will die of starvation…so i gotta find him some crutches so he can hobble along…that should be interesting…

i think hes loving just sitting there getting me to do everything for him…

at least its only 1 more week till the new countertops and dishwasher!!!
