Blah.

Two Saturdays ago we held our open house / house warming party. The weather cooperated with us which was awesome because I don’t know how we would have housed all those people just inside. Though the party was a success and we received some very adorable gifts, I have felt like a bag of poo ever since. I guess you could say I was quite stressed out on Saturday and realized on Sunday that I barely ate or drank anything, leaving my stomach in a horrible state. Not to mention the pleasant migraine that showed up Sunday afternoon.

I have been in an extreme state of laziness every since. Mostly because I like being lazy and mostly because the destruction of the outside of our house has also started. That’s right, its drain tile time. I don’t want to deal with it so I have been hiding under the covers on the couch, every day, for 2 weeks. Because of this Chad had gone ahead and calculated that I have most likely spent 14 years of my life laying down. I think he is pretty accurate given the fact that I lay down every damn chance I get. I was not meant to be vertical.

So, I will probably continue to hide in my couch fort for the next little while as I try to avoid all the responsibilities and events coming up in my life. I’m usually not an avoid-er, but right now I can’t think of anything else I would rather do.

EXTREME INTROVERT ENGAGE!

So I should probably tell you whats going on with my teeth.

Back in November I finished wearing my Invisalign braces. 28 weeks went by pretty quickly and the process was not difficult at all, but I was very ready to get rid of them! My teeth looked their best and I was happy with the way they turned out.

However, during the first few days braces free I noticed that every time I ran my tongue against the back of my teeth, I could feel one tooth was still overlapped with another tooth. You could kind of tell when looking at them but not really and I had never noticed it before because my braces always felt smooth, so I never felt anything out of place.

I made an appointment right away with my Dentist to see if this was just my imagination or if there was something wrong. As soon as I pointed it out to him he noticed it and was worried that the tooth had been straight before but rebelled and twisted after my braces came off. So I was instructed to wear my last tray for 2 weeks to see if it could be corrected.

2 weeks later everything looked the same, which meant that while the braces looked like they corrected everything, they actually had not. I was a little bit worried that it was going to cost more money to have one tooth straightened but my Dentist assured me that Invisalign would send me a new set of braces to fix the problem with out any additional charge. Their goal was to get it right, so get it right they would!

After having new impressions taken of my teeth I went to get my new set of braces this week. My Dentist guessed that it would probably take 4 – 5 trays to correct the problem, but we were both surprised when the package arrived and it contained 11 sets. What! 22 more weeks of braces to fix 1 tooth! Holy mother. Looks like it’s not as easy of a fix as we thought.

So, here I am about to embark on another rather long tooth adventure. I knew that if I didn’t get this tooth fixed that it would drive me nuts, so if 22 more weeks is what I have to endure, then so be it. On the positive side, it is still a shorter amount of time than if I had to get metal braces.

Hopefully at the end of May everything will be perfect and I can finally be braces free!

The Changes of 2013

Posted on January 7, 2013 by Smelly Danielly

Everyone is back to work today and everything in life goes back to normal, as was evident by the number of cars on HWY 1 this morning. More people should go on vacation on a regular basis.

Tonight we take down all the Christmas decorations, which means the new year officially starts in our house. We will have to decorate the house the way we want it for reals now.

2013 has already brought a lot of changes at work, with people leaving for new opportunities and new bundles of joy. It’s been pretty stressful for the bosses having to deal with so much change right before they leave for their annual holidays. I was told on Friday that when they get back I am not allowed to tell them that I am pregnant. I laughed.

As I briefly mentioned before 2013 is going to be the year of happiness for me. All of the things I put off doing because I didn’t have the space or the resources are going to be tackled this year. I am particularly excited to get my sewing room set up and to start producing all the ideas I have in my head. I am hoping it may turn into a little side business for myself to bring it a little extra cash so I can finally buy that cow hide rug I have been wanting for a million years.

2013 is going to be the year where we host a million parties and everyone will break dance in our kitchen. It will be the year where Chad will start a band with random Italians. It will be the year where I lose myself in bad PVR’d reality shows. It will be the year where I learn to cook again. It will hopefully be the year where everyone will stop harassing me to produce an heir.

Things are going to be figured out this year and that makes me happy.

Farewall 2012

A week and a bit of vacation time and it’s already New Years Eve. Where did the time go?

We have had a wonderful time off and while I love routine and having a plan, I am so not ready to go back to work. I love that I have been able to disconnect and not be on a computer every day, and I love that we’ve been able to get so much stuff organized in the house. It feels more like a home every day that goes by.

2012 was an exciting and busy year for us, with the purchasing of our first house and all the renovations that went a long with it. It’s great to finally have a place that we will be in for a very long time. The wait was long, but it was well worth it.

2013 looks like it’s also going to be an exciting and busy year for us, with two of our best friends getting married – Pat & Aimee and Dario & Gina. We are both so honoured that we get to stand by them on their special day.

The only resolution I am making for 2013 is to do more things that make me happy. Life is short and you have to make the most of the time you have!

Happy New Years Friends!

I Won’t Treat You Like You’re Oh So Typical

Posted on November 30, 2012 by Smelly Danielly

I have graciously received a wonderful head cold. I realized this while trying to do a breathing exercise during yoga last night. To be honest, I am not surprised. It was bound to happen at some point. I’m actually more surprised that it took this long. This is what I get for not letting my body rest. For working 8 hours a day, spending 2 hours a day in traffic and then coming home and working until I go to bed. I feel like I have been hit by a truck, and the beauty is, I have no time to be sick, like always. Ryan is finishing up the trim work today and I have going to clean the entire house of pine needles and saw dust. Then tomorrow I have to cook some dishes for a wonderful early Christmas dinner with friends, and the In-Laws are visiting on Sunday, which you know means I want everything to be perfect in the house, even though it is very likely that nothing will end up being perfect.

To go along with my sick face I have decided to reinstate Lesbian Fridays. Not really sure why I ever stopped participating in Lesbian Fridays, considering how fun they are. Lesbian Fridays consist of sleeping in, wearing no make up and dressing yourself in boyish jeans and plaid with a horribly messy bun.

Now, picture this. Lesbian Friday + sick man voice = the original man repeller.

Chad is the luckiest man I know.

Also, this.
