  2. Oh no I forgot a title!

    September 27, 2006 by Louise

    Yesterday I had a PD (Professional Development) day. Where I work, all “new” staff are assigned a mentor. Because I’m “new” to the province (having only worked half of last year, they couldn’t mentor me up at the beginning of the year) I have a mentor. The best part is that I’ve been working for seven years (not counting my year off of crazy-time). My mentor? Four. So uhm… yeah. Anyway it was an okay day; we got together with our mentors and did all kinds of “how do you feel when…” activities. I hate that kind of thing– I don’t want to tell a roomful of strangers my deepest darkest secrets about how I’m afraid of the dark because my sister used to pretend to be Satan. So my mentor and I didn’t really do that; we just talked about our philosophies and how we approach different things and how we handle certain situations blah blah blah. That was good because I got a chance to get to know a few other staff members fairly well, and I didn’t have to tell them about my Inner Child. Oh, and my mentor and I were trying to figure out what I’d be called. See, if he’s the ment-or, am I the ment-ee? Rob suggested that I be called the mental. Thanks honeybunch.

    Last night, when I got home from work, I had a huge headache. Huge. See, I’ve somehow managed to lose my meds. I have no idea where I put them last but they are Nowhere To Be Found. And when you don’t take your meds on a regular basis, you get a headache (and dizziness, and nausea, and and and… why am I taking these again? To feel better? Oh yeah). I had figured that they must be in the house somewhere so I’d look for them. Looked. Not there as far as I can tell. Rob works til 1 am all this week so he couldn’t help me look. So I just didn’t take my meds yesterday. Anyway. Headache. At around 9:00 I had had enough, so I went and got myself a couple of Tylenols. Swallered ‘em down. My head felt ALOT better.

    Because? I’d just mistakenly taken Tylenol with codeine.
    I was asleep for the rest of the night (until Rob called for me to pick him up at work– although I probably was asleep driving the car, too. Unsafe I know. I promise I’ll never do it again). Until 6:39 this morning. I leave for work at 6:55 so I am glad I had a shower and everything last night and just had to get dressed. As it is I was five minutes late getting out to the carpool car.

    Tonight is Meet the Creature so I have to stay at work til around 9:00. Which means I won’t be home until 10. Which means I’ll have been away from my home and my bed (!!!) for 15 hours.
    Oh and although he works til one and then he crawls into bed with me at around 3 or whatever, Rob and I haven’t really had a chance to like, even TALK in a couple of days. I miss him.

    Yep okay that’s all. I forgot to bring a lunch today except I have a bagel in the fridge and I am going to go eat that! Yay!

  3. Overheard, again

    September 24, 2006 by Louise

    Scene: We are in the office, where I have finally (!) found one of my favourite ever movies on eBay and I am all excited! So I’m buying it!

    Louise: Rob! Stop!

    Rob: Huh? What?

    Louise: How am I supposed to confirm my bid if you’re all up in my jugs?!

  4. Overheard

    by Louise

    (in the car, on the way past the movie theatre)

    Louise: Why are there no good movies out? We need to start making our own movies.
    Rob: I have a great idea for a horror movie. It would be like The Exorcist, only worse. People would cower in fear before even seeing the poster, just having heard of it.
    Louise: Oooh! Tell tell!
    Rob: Well first of all it would be based on your life.
    Louise (insulted): Hey, dude, I’m not that bad!
    Rob: No, no, listen! There would be these people. They would go to sleep at night and everything would be normal. But when they woke up… (shudders)
    Louise: I’m still not feeling okay about this.
    Rob: Seriously! Listen! When they woke up… their faces! And their butts! Their faces and butts would hurt!
    Louise (horrified that he would think that something like this would have anything to do with her life): I have never woken up with my face and butt hurting! And no one I know has ever woken up with their face and butt hurting! What the hell Robbie! What are you talking about!
    Rob: (excitedly, for he is now On A Roll) And for weeks and weeks this would keep happening! It wouldn’t matter if they locked their doors. It wouldn’t matter if they tried to stay up all night. It wouldn’t matter if they moved house! They would wake up every morning with sore faces and butts! They would be terrified but wouldn’t want to tell anyone about it! So they’d go see this old lady who was some kind of oracle and she would say that they were UNCLEEEEEAN and then they would decide she was crazy and just go home! And then they would set up a video camera in their room… hoping to catch the demon who was hurting their faces and butts.
    Louise: Uh huh…
    Rob: And when they watched the tape–
    Louise: Let me guess– when they watched the tape there would be a creepy kid and if they didn’t pass the tape on everyone else’s face and butt would hurt?
    Rob: No! When they watched the tape they would find out why their faces and butts were hurting! It would be because you were sneaking into their rooms at night squeezing their pores!
    (breaks down laughing hysterically)
    Louise: LISTEN I ONLY DO THAT TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND WANT YOUR SKIN TO BE HEALTHY AND I HAVE NEVER SQUOZEN YOUR BUTT MISTER! SO HA!
    Rob: I still think that would be the scariest movie.

    Louise: Yeah, probably.

  5. dawwwwww~!

    September 21, 2006 by Louise

    I have been feeling really crappy the past few days. I’m not sure if it’s a cold or the ‘flu… I’d say cold, because I’m stuffy, sinuses, headache, sore throat, etc etc., but then there’s also the flu thing of my lungs being totally full and ‘itchy’ (if that makes sense), the fever/chills thing (I’m boiling hot and sweating one minute, freezing cold the next) and my internal organs wanting to spring out of my body in gushing torrents. Oh I tell you the excitement never ends.

    So. On Wednesday I managed to drag myself home from work, expecting to have to lay around sweating and complain to myself, all alone, until 9 pm when I would have to drag myself off the couch and go pick up Rob, who I would then regale with tales of The Things I’ve Seen That Came Out Of My Body (I’m thinking of writing a children’s book with the same title. Back off– my idea first!). But lo~! When I got to the back door of the house there was my cheese head! Standing on the back step, waiting for me, with a dozen roses in hand. So sweet!

    You see, Wednesday was our one-monthiversary. No, I don’t expect this every month; in fact I didn’t expect it at all on Wednesday. I, being a total romantic, hadn’t gotten anything for him aside from the post I put up on this blog. So of course I had to pull out all the stops. I ordered a pizza. With EXTRA CHEESE.

    Oh yeah, the romance is just a-bubblin’ at our house!

  6. *huuuuugs!*

    September 19, 2006 by Louise

    Happy anniversary Rob!
    Er. It’s only one month, so it’s not really anniversary. Monthiversary? Whatever. We’re 1/12 of the way through our first year! And I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it so far! Except of course for the part in the marriage certificate where ti says I now have to always wear an apron and cook things like casseroles and meat loaf. Hey… how come I’m not allowed to actually *see* this supposed “marriage certificate”?

    Just kidding. I love you Robbito burrito.

  7. Choose Your Own Adventure

    by Louise

    I have a cold. Not one of those pansy-ass sniffledy type things, either. My lungs are full and itchy, my throat’s sore, it’s stuffing up my sinuses, my head aches, and my ears feel fuzzy.

    I felt fine when I woke up yesterday morning, but by noon I was in hell. Of course I couldn’t concentrate well enough to prep for a substitute and when I came home I brought only the bare minimum of stuff I’d need so I didn’t bring anything HOME to prep for a sub either. So I’m going in today. My question is, will I

    a) break down crying from the PAAAAAIN (because it’s hurting my body! And my soul!)

    b) let the principal know that I will not be in tomorrow, and force myself to get ready for someone else to come in

    c) tough it out and just get over myself

    (if you chose a, go to page 87. If you chose b, go to page 78. If you chose c, you are deluded because if there’s anything I’m not, it’s tough).

  8. SLEEEEEEEEEEEP!

    September 14, 2006 by Louise

    Still pretty busy. Actually not THAT busy… just getting back into the routine of getting up TOO EARLY to leave for work TOO EARLY and spend two hours of the day driving and then get home at night and just lay on the couch all exhausted-like until I can finally go to bed at like, 8 pm. Where are my free-wheeling night-owl days? Why do I require 10 hours of sleep a night? It’s a mystery! I’m lucky to have people to car pool with but at the same time I just want to sleeeeeeeep. Maybe I should sleep in the car in the morning or something. But then I’d be afraid that I would snore all over the place and my carpool-mates (?) would be horrified. Anyway it’s 6:44 and I’m being picked up in 5 minutes so I should probably go put on my pants. Probably.

  9. it stinks!

    September 13, 2006 by Louise

    I love where we live. But for the past few days, the farmer who owns the field behind our house has been spreading pig manure. That means three days of keeping all the windows closed, going outside as little as possible, not opening the door for more than a quarter of a second at a time, and screaming “OH MY GOD IT STINKS SO MUCH!” everytime we have to spend more than a second outside. Then there’s the going to work and being paranoid that maybe *I* smell like pig manure now! Even though I know that’s fairly impossible!
    I stand by my position that if I have to smell crap, I would rather smell horse crap. Because horse crap is the least-offensive smelling of all the craps. Not that I want to smell any crap, thank you.

    Also my nephew’s birthday was Sept. 11 and I haven’t gotten him a gift yet. Is it cheaping out to give cash to a newly 17 year old? Because other than that? I have no ideas.

  10. A Message To Pete from Pete’s Parents’ Basement

    September 10, 2006 by Louise

    Hello everybody! Not blogging because of being really busy. But!

    1) I met lattégirl, which rocked.

    2)  School has started (thus the busyness)

    3) I locked myself out of the house one day! Hilarity ensued.

    4) Rob’s bozack is out. Ha ha I bet nobody needed to know that and he probably didn’t want it known. But things are out sometimes and why shouldn’t I comment on that? Because it IS a fact.

    5) Less than a month til I have medical insurance again! Yay prescriptions! Yay dentist! OH YEAH!

    That is all!
