Do not eat Prawn Tempura and then go see District 9.

Also, do not sit in the 3rd row if you get motion sickness.

I am going to go throw up now.

Hungry Much?

So…want to see pictures of a gigantic sammich? I know you do because you are obsessed with food just like me..

The 'Salam' Special
Could there be any more meat?

Could there be any more meat in there? I think not.

Giant Bite
The other half

We went to the Sandwich Nazi out in Port Kells a couple weekends ago. My Zia Suzy has known him for over 15 years and we have heard MANY stories about him so we thought we would finally check him out. He even has a Facebook group dedicated to him.

Ryan & Mike
Sammich

He is known for his pervy antics and his giant sandwiches. I was going to take pictures of Salam and his Deli but then I was somewhat concerned that he would whip out something we don’t need to see. But I guess if you really wanted to see it you could always check out his YouTube video. Just google it and you will see what I mean. It is NOT safe for work.

Pointing out his last bite
COME ON MIKE!
Mike is ALL DONE!!

This is Mike finishing his 1.8lbs sandwich. He was the only one of us who could finish it. Ryans sandwich weighed in at 2lbs, and Chads at 2.2lbs. Chad and I shared half of the sandwich which was more then enough for me. The sandwich and the coke came to $9. Not bad for all that friggin meat.

Hanging Out

Zio Paul relaxing

Zio Paul and Zia Maria thought we were all crazy. And really, we were. Hahaha.

I kind of wish I had taken pictures of the Deli now that I think about it. Its something you just have to see. There are a bunch of pictures on the facebook group, though, if you are curious. If you are ever in Port Kells (because yes, I know you are down in that area all the time) I would suggest you go to La Charcuterie Delicatessen just for the adventure that it is. Read the reviews and you will know what I mean!

Modern Geometry

I kind of feel all out of sorts this morning, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe I feel on edge because one of my co-workers is back today after a week long vacation and I have this feeling she is going to over react to about 100 things and then run around like a nut for most of the day making it look like she is the business person here. She likes to do that a lot. I guess I just feel anxious. I sent her an email basically putting my foot down on this fabric issue I have been dealing with for the past few months that is actually her responsibility. I’m a little frustrated with the way she has been dealing with it and then dumping it on me. I finally decided to say something to her when it came up again last week while she was gone. Guess I am a little anxious for a response.

Last nights dinner went well. I did spend 5 hours madly preparing everything before Chads parents came over but it was so worth it. It was the most prepared I have ever been for a dinner. I baked lemon squares & raspberry coconut square, Peccorino cheese crackers, made roasted garlic mashed potatoes with mozza cheese in the middle, and a mushroom dish all before they came over. I think I finally mastered making the perfect amount of food for dinner with the right amount of leftovers. The only glitch, of course, is finding out what your guests do and do not like to eat, but other then that it was one of the best dinners we have ever had. I’m slowly starting to learn.

Yesterday was exhausting and tonight I am going to bed at 10pm and snuggle and fall asleep asap. I am sooo looking forward to it.

Humm…looks like everyone is late this morning. I’ll blog more later.

Yes Yes, I am on my way

CIMG8724

Coughing has been the theme of today. While it makes my chest feel like it’s caving in, I know it is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Tonight, we are apparently heading out to the Starlight Casino with Mr. Perizzolo to watch the Lions on TV. Mikey & Shazy are joining us as well and I will have the privilege of annoying them all with my loud manly cough. I don’t know how dressed up I am suppose to get, but considering we will just be hanging out in the bar, I should be fine. Does alcohol kill mucus?

I have a lot to clean and cook this weekend and I’m feeling a little unprepared considering I have no idea what I am cooking and was hoping to prep and buy most of the stuff tomorrow. Crap. Tomorrow is going to be a gong show.

2 weeks from today we will be leaving for Whistler. Can not wait for some relaxation time with the Mister.

I bought a bunch of new clothes from work today. The start of my fall collection of purchases. I want to post them somewhere on my blog, like start a little fashion section where I just show what I buy and how I wear it. I know Alicia uses Chictopia and stuff but I don’t think I want to get that fancy. I’m not as good at coming up with outfits as she is. I have to see if Chad or someone can create a little interactive fashion section for me. Anyone know how to screw around with wordpress? I have an idea I just don’t know how to go about and do it.

Ugh, ok, I need to go take pills or something. This coughing is giving me a headache.

*cough*hack*cough*

Heading North

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

I am going to spare you the details of my life right now. There is nothing positive worth sharing. I just really hope that at least half of my life get back to normal in time for the weekend so I’m not a disaster as I attempt to make Chads parents dinner for the first time.

There is a lot of stuff going on in my life right now that I don’t blog about. A lot of bad stuff. Bad stuff in that, its negative. Nothing between Chad & I, but a lot with family and people we know. A lot of stuff that is personal and stressful and worrisome. Stuff I obviously do not feel the athority to blog about. Stuff that maybe only 3 people know about.

If I seem a little weird, or on edge, its because I have a lot on my plate. A lot of stuff that is going on all around me that I have no control over. It just really feels like everything that could possibly go wrong with anybody and everybody I know, does go wrong. My mind is off thinking about too many things half the time.

I still try and find the positive out of every day and I’m not about to go dig out a hole and bury myself in it, but sometimes I stop to think about it all, or I tell the stories to Claudia during our morning coffee meeting and I think to myself, ‘Holy Crap, how much more can go wrong?’ I know it feels like every other post is about something bad that has happened, or something thats gone wrong, but its because things KEEP happening that are negative and unfathemable. Maybe if I listed them all out you would understand.

I just want you to know that this is not normally me. These last 8 months have been the exception.

And no, its ok. I don’t have to talk about.

I don’t even know why I wrote this post.
