How sweet it could be

Another Turkey day weekend has been survived. My family, somewhere in the bush hunting partrige, not the family, the bird. My sweeties family, all over for the requisite bird and all the trimmings, but they don't all sit around a table and say grace like majority of people. Some are in the basement eating and watching somone play on the Gamecube or the Playstation, some are in the kitchen trying to get the kids to eat and some others are in front of the TV in the living room watching CSI... while eating. I figured it was because the kitchen table didn't have enough room to seat them all, but no, they've always done it this way and probably always will.

Oh well, it could be a lot worse, when I was with my ex-hubby the parents would be drunk by noon, the kids pleasantly drunk by mealtime and by then the head of the household was passed out in the mashed taters.... charming. I mean, have a drink or two if you want, but geez, try and stay concious long enough for the dishes to hit the sink or at least keep the fighting down to a dull roar so the neighbors don't call the cops... Yeah, they put the Dis in dysfunctional for sure, but strangely they seemed happy with their arrangement and couldn't understand why I didn't enjoy myself with them. They chalked it up to me not being "country" enough. I chalked it up to me being too "sober", had nothing to do with "country" or "city".

Well sweetie and I are hoping to buy a house of our own someday, then we can start our own family traditions. i have a feeling that it will still involve lot's of dirty dishes, Gamecube, PS2's and TV's, but i'm hoping nobody will ever be passed out in the mashed taters :P

I miss sweating...

Yeah you read that right. Most people bitch and complain about having to exercise to stay in shape. I miss the opportunity to exercise. Don't give me that crap about taking the stairs, parking further away from work or fitting in a few lunges at your desk at work. I'm taking about having the time to do a good 30 min to 1 hour session of good aerobic exercise that gets you sweating. With the amount of driving I do to get to work, the time i have to go to bed to get a decent albeit short amout of sleep (9:30pm to 5am) and the fact that there always seems to be company coming over in the evenings, I never seem to get a chance to exercise. Good thing my job requires me to do a fair amount of walking, otherwise I'd be gaining weight! Well off to the bump and grind...or drive and grind in my case.

How sweet it could be

Just figured out how to post a pic... man when I look at that picture I remind myself of my Mom, cept she wears glasses. I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing or a bad thing LOL I guess the apple never falls far from the tree :P

Newbie on board... slow down the train!

Well... a free location to blog, this could be fun. Hopefully it won't be painfull for you :D I'm not sure how much i'm ready to divuldge, but here are the basics: 34 almost 35 yr old female, living in Cornwall Ontario and work in Ottawa Ontario. I'm NOT looking for a date here guys, just giving you an idea of who/what I am so i'm not going to launch into the tired physical description, but I can post a pic for those with enough curiosity. I have lot's of interests, mainly of the female geek variety: movies (action, comedy, horror and the occaisional chick flick), music (heavy, rock, dance), books (Anne Rice, Laurell Hamilton, Anne McCaffrey, Tolkien) or anyone else that writes about dragons, elves, vampires, werewolves and sex. Together or separate, it's all good.
