We'll see

Well yesterday for some reason my hubs started thinking about going back to school. He mentioned going to University and then Teacher's College. Wow, imagine that I would be married to a freshmen. :0

I told him whatever you wanted to do in life I would support but he has to decided this year. I am so excited for you. I don't care that we will have to be solely supported by me. I don't care that we might have to postpone having a family. Really all I want is for him to be happy and prowd of what he does for a living. But, if he does decide to go back to school he needs to do it this fall. We want to have kids and we are getting old and I don't want to wait forever.

Honestly I really wish he had done this back in 2000 but nope. He has worked horrible jobs, been laid off twice but none of that convince him to go back to school. He has tried to become bilingual thinking that might help him out but really if you aren't emerged in it all the time I don't think it is worth it.

So here we are 31 and almost 33 starting back to school. I am really hoping he is going to make a serious go at it but I won't hold my breathe. I gave him the # for the university to call and make an appointment to talk to someone about courses and tuition fees etc. If he doesn't call today I know he isn't going to give this opportunity a shot. I guess we'll see.

I'm bored

I know, I know - some people are very busy in the world. Well, I'm not one of them. It is Friday before lunch and I am extremely bored. Thankfully I am meeting my friend for lunch and that will kill some time but honestly - what the hell am I going to do after lunch. What am I going to do to kill 3hrs. Nobody is in at work today ... damn compressed work week. So I might just talk to myself all afternoon.

I do have some projects on the go. I am MOH in a Wedding this September so I can work on some of my jobs. I have already started a MOH binding ... I know I AM a loser! But I just have so many ideas for the Bridal shower. Different themes, games, favours ... I just like to have them all in one place. Then their is the Bachelorette party. I am trying really hard to figure out how to make a penis pinata. I don't want to fill it with candle though, I just want to make them to hang around the house for the before party get-together. I am so excited. At the Bridal show that I went to there was a booth for Bachelorette party supplies and they work off the internet but are located in my neck of the woods. YA!!

There website it www planetbachelorette com

Much better and cheaper than most adult or novelty stores.

Okay back to the grind...

what did I do to deserve this

So I am going out with my best friend tonight and what happens yesterday - this monstrous pimple appears. It was horrible. By the time I got home it had started to ooze liquid - great maybe it is infected. Well the whole side of my chin and cheek are swollen as well as part of my lip. I have no idea if I should go see a doctor or something because I can't see a pimple causing this kinda discomfort. My husband reassures me that it is normal and that I don't need to see a doctor. How embarrassing and uncomfortable do I feel today - I think I will hibernate away from everyone at work so nobody has to see my new friend.

Why the hell does a 31 year old have to deal with acne. I want to crawl into a hole and not come out until this has gone away. But I can't have to be a good MOH and go to a bridal show with my best friend tonight - great 1000's of people will stare at me in horror. Plus I just found out there will be lots of cute Firemen at the show promoting their Fireman's calendar ... Damn skin!!!!

I sometimes think that my brain doesn't function like normal people : )

Honestly ... why?

The family drama continues. This year my husbands Zia E decided that Christmas dinner would involve everyone helping out by bringing a dish. Let set this up right. Zia E works for the government but is getting close to retirement. She has 3 kids but they are married and have kids of their own. She and I'm sure her daughter felt that since everyone is older with kids and comes to her house for dinner on Christmas Day - there is something like 30 some people there each time and that isn't including kids. So they decide to ask people to bring something with them to help out with dinner ... oh did that cause the $h*t to hit the fan.

So then we get Zia M saying that she isn't going to make another dish since she slaves to make Christmas Eve dinner and nobody helps her out. Then you have Zia M's son who starts complaining about how much work his mom does and how people should start to help her out. This then gets really carried away with the rest of the family. Now the New Year's Eve dinner is just for the "old" grown-ups and how the Zia E dropped the ball on the Christmas Traditions ... blah, blah, blah. It is become ridiculous. And the person who is making the greatest stink is a dad's construction worker/sometimes college student that is 25yrs old and lives in his parents basement. He has been to several soiree's at our home and my in-laws in which he can't even bring a bottle of wine or something to help out with his free loading.

I make this promise to my future children ... you will not be living in my basement freeloading at the age of 25!

Happy New Year!

I have to admit that I am very happy that this month is almost over. Honestly the amount of Italian family function we have had in the last month is getting on my nerves. All the kissing and pretending that the family isn't annoyed with each other is just getting under my skin. They are even complaining that only the grown ups are allowed at the New Years Eve feast. Even though we are in our 30's we aren't part of that crowd. Good... thank god... now I won't have to hear them complain about all the work and yet when you offer to help the snicker and say no,no, we enjoy entertaining - sure!

I am actually very excited for 2007. My best friend is getting married and I am the maid of honour... now that I am married am I the matron of honour?? Oh who cares - I am so overwhelmed with excitement for them both. Plus I thought this would take the pressure off of me having kids but nope they still expect me to get pregnant. I came up with the best comeback for them now - it took him 10yrs to marry me and now that this is in my court I'll have kids when "I'm" ready. Honestly, I realized that I'm not getting any younger but as what if we had been trying all this time (okay we have only been married 5 months) but still what if we were having trouble conceiving. Would we really need the added pressure of everyone asking us if we were pregnant ever other weekend??


Oh the fun for marrying an Italian! I don't think I ever expect this amount of family involvement in our lives. I mean my husband and his brother talk on the phone every night - even though they work together every day! Strange -ya! Strange is an understatement. Oh well, I look forward to new and better things in 2007.

Happy New Years every one!

Hope to post more often in 2007.

Another day another dollar

Honestly I have no idea how I became so sick. It started Friday night after hubbies Christmas party so I blamed it on food poisoning. But then when I came into work they stated that everyone from our Christmas potluck got sick - food poisoning?? Then we find out that people in our building not at the Christmas party were also sick. Eire! Maybe it is Norwalk virus that has been spread through our air systems. Whatever it was or should I say is since I still feel the symptoms I never want to get it again.

But all that is on my mind right now is coffee. I want an irish cream coffee from the cafeteria. I am cold and missing all the sugar I usually add to my coffee. Now the question is ... will my stomach be able to handle a coffee or will I die at work from stomach cramps. Ah, the agony of my world - coffee or no coffee.

Okay the real agony of my world is Christmas shopping. I mean come on people come up with a list of things you want and give it to your family. It really isn't that hard. I mean whether you're a man or woman you have to want something in life that you don't already own. I am so frustrated. There is only 5 days left until Christmas and I still have lots of gifts to still get. Being sick didn't help. Malls suck and they super duper suck when you aren't feeling well.

Again, I am sensing a bah-humbug theme to my posts.

Happy holidays to all!! : )

Office politics

Who comes into my work area today but my ex-boss, wearing a Santa hat and beard. He hands me a Christmas card and one for my co-worker who isn't in yet.

Why, oh why did my ex-boss get me a card... which had a gift certificate inside. He does this every year and every year I hate it. You see my ex-boss is my ex-boss for many reasons, the main reason being I asked for a transfer since he keeps denying me from getting a promotion. And why does he do this you ask, because I pissed off HIS boss by not organizing social events at work. Anyways, now one of my fellow co-workers wants us to put in $20 towards a gift certificate for him - what the F$ck! I am not going in on a $80 gift for my boss. It might seem rather scrooge-like of me but he really doesn't deserve it. I am very generous to people but only ones that deserve my generosity. He definitely isn't one of them. Bah-humbug!
