What a slacker eh? Well as per usual I've been working on something new. Ajay and I have created another website www.organizeourwedding.com and I've begun writing a blog for it, with all of the trials and tribulations wedding planning can offer. Take a peak.

This is not exactly my type of movie to be honest, but that's not to say that I couldn't enjoy it.There were some inconsistancies which I think you'll notive for yourself, but aside from that it wasn't the worst movie I've seen The story took some work to figure out, seeing that I haven't seen part 1 but my trusty sidekick helped out with those details.I give this movie 4 'hybrids' out of 10.For

Well it truly has been a busy couple of months.... with our return from India, going back to work, Ajay moving from SJ to here... let me tell you, I'm beat. And this long weekend couldn't have come at a better time!Ajay moved in on June 23rd, and some of the boxes are still in decision mode... there simply isn't place for everything. This makes the house somewhat of a labryinth, but it's

So I've been going through the interview process, for an internal position at my work. I feel like a crazy woman.First, I submit my application, and wait to hear about an interview. Once I get the call, I start preparing like hell for this interview. At my work, we focus on Competency Based interviews... which means you need a story for everything... but not just any story, one that reaches all

~Yippee!!! It's almost official... we attended Ajay's graduation dinner on Friday night at the Hilton in Saint John. It was a pretty decent dinner, and the speeches were "interesting", the ones I understood at least :) Ajay gave a wonderful speech that went right to my heart! My god I love that man.~On to accepting his recent job offer, which sadly is still in Saint John... but it's a job, and

~Another hiatus... and not much new to speak of...~This past month has seemed to drag on and on, and with little progress on any front. I guess that's the definition of being in a rut, according to the dictionary o' dumas. The things that I want just seem a bit beyond my grasp, this is unfamiliar territory. It's not like everything in life has been handed to me, I've worked for it all, but I've

~ It's been quite a stretch since I could be bothered to sit down and add a new post. It's not been for lack of time, or energy. It's been an awkward and trying couple of weeks. With Ajay finishing his degree, and looking for a job, my waterbed flooding the kitchen floor, my own workload exploding and bursting at the seams, I can't be bothered to do anything that involves needless effort :)~

I had a reality check yesterday that is still blowing my mind. "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore."Once again I was an unwilling rider of our local transit system, seated in front of what I would identify as a 16 year old girl.Firstly, it was that she was talking so loudly on her cell phone that drew me into her conversation. Then the subject matter had me enthralled and disgusted

~Surprise, surprise!! Finally gave Ajay his birthday gift, Play Station 2 and a couple of games. It was great, he was super excited about the whole thing, and it was very satisfying to see that beautiful smile of his. I also enjoyed learning to play the games... especially the ass-kicking fight games, like Tekken 4.~So now we're in search of someone to modify the system to play burned games, as

~Been sick all week, so nothing worth commenting on, that wouldn't turn your stomach. :)~Two more sleeps till poor, poor Ajay has to get on the bus to come and see Marsh and I!! Can't wait to see him, it's been 3 weeks already... feels like 2 months.

We had our first, of what I hope are many, Old Ladies Night, this past Friday evening. The event consisted of potluck goodness, a chick flick and stories from the past that would make anyone blush.Shaniqua and I arrived late, which we've been doing together for the past ten years! Shaniqua has never, ever been on time! But it's ok, I think the rest of our friends have come to realize that if

Honestly... I don't know which situation I loathe more, Mr. Chatty-Cathy, or Mr. Rip-You-Off.Mr. Chatty-Cathy, chauffeured me from my office to another today for a meeting. He took the longest route possible as soon as he heard that this would be a charge as opposed to cash. Along our scenic downtown tour I got to hear all about how the newspapers are ruining our lives. The pinnacle of which was

Open mouth, insert foot.Ever wish you just kept things to yourself? "Sometimes," as my mother so kindly tells me, "it's better to say nothing at all." My fear is that if I clam up on everything that I'll get to the point where I never say anything until it builds up and it's too late, I'll explode. Don't they say the key to every relationship is communication? Maybe I'm just an inept communicator

~Have you ever felt as though you had bought the "perfect gift" for someone, and then had to wait to give it to them? Some people have said that I am the best gift giver, because I can find something for someone that suits them or the situation so well that they may not have even thought of it as something they might ever want, but after receiving it can't imagine being without it. Sounds like

~Saving money has never been my strong suit... I have no problem getting my bills paid mind you, just issues with saving for tomorrow so to speak. Keeping it in a bank account and out of my purse is useless as my debit card is my best friend. I've tried keeping a change jar, including $1 and $2 coins which does add up quickly, but I eventually deposit it to my bank account and start the spending

~The worst part of a long distance relationship, I think, is having to leave them once your visit is over. For me, there's no worse feeling than watching him walk away. Bloody depressing it is. But you know, there is something to be said for long distance relationships and having that excited feeling whenever you're together.

Ajay was noticable absent, but he'll have plenty of time to make it for that next weekend ;)The service at The Lone Star was quite bad. 20 mins to wait for a table, at which time we were given a booth for 7 people.

As of tomorrow I can no longer ride around on the "she's young" excuse. Maybe what I should be doing is celebrating the end of an era, as opposed to the birth of the next decade?~ The craziest thing happened

~ So when you live in the land of much snow and ice, where you can anticipate being dumped upon for up to 6 months out of the year, it's hard to complain about hot, sunny weather. On the other hand, when your house heats up like a gigantic oven, that's nearly impossible to cool down... it's damn easy! I've looked into air conditioners, but the initial cost, and then on top of the electrical to

~ So the first question that comes to mind this morning is: "What the hell are my titles going to be after the big day?" Do I begin the count down to 40? I don't really see 40 as being so bad, not after 30 at least. Perhaps by the time 39 rolls around I'll see it differently.~ Today so far has been a bullshit day.

I guess that I'm just going to have to suck it up and blow the damn candles out, and drown my sorrows in a huge piece of
