I started taking a running THING with Jen, she wanted support....

first I am a round Canadian white girl going into winter. I am getting ready to do what I do best for the last couple years, hibernate.

I thought the THING was for beginning runners... till I met the man who is teaching the THING.

" I am the #30 fastest man on earth"
" I can run 20 kilometers in 1 hour and 13 minutes"
"my dog runs with me when I run 80 km if its not too hot for him"

I run when I am being chased or I am scared and let me tell you this little man terrifies me....

next week we have to run 5 minutes straight, I couldn't run 2.

but I did run 3 kilometers.... more than I have ever ran before.
I can see it on his face that he doesn't think I can do this.

I will chalk this all up to experience.

People are going to hate this but


I don't hate this heat.
its kind of a neat sensation
Here in the north we spend so much time cold, that this 33 heat is stifling yes, but in other parts of the world this is normal
yes it make me sweat
and work is really rather not fun because of it
but I kind of enjoy it
I have a fan
and I can drink water
I may be able to get used to this!

OMFG

SO some story needs to go into this one before you read on.
first I work with a guy named Jim I can not tell you where.....

so Jim is a bit loopy, and to prove it this was on his desk the other day. At first glance it seems ok, a emergency action plan is a good thing.. til you start to read it.

the scary part is that he actually took time to think about these things. and its ok I blew it up so it is easier to read.


A Hurricane?? are you serious we live in the prairies!
nuclear blast,, sorry we ain't EVAC in anywhere
and yes below that says Maelstrom...raining fireballs from the sky.... hide under something? LMAO
I had to look up escrima stick.. its lacquered bamboo..... :/ and a machete. who picks a stick and a knife as weapons of choice "if necessary"?


I could goon and on about this.... I love how the food is all in cans... but no can opener, and toy...ball..... omg.. and why couldn;t they leave in one vehicle? you would think you would want to be together if there is fire raining out of the sky.

jen's birthday

it rained, no go carts

so instead we played cards drank ate and had an all around great time! pics to follow.

Anthem for the needy/want theory

I Need You
I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breathe
I wanna ride across West Virginia in the back seat of a Cadillac
You know some cowboys like me go out like that

So I need you
Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
And I need you
Like a lighthouse needs a coast
Like the father and the son need the Holy Ghost
I need you

I wanna get lost in some corner booth
In a Cantina Mexico
I wanna dance to the static of an AM radio
I wanna wrap the moon around us,
lay beside you skin on skin
Make love til the sun comes up,
til the sun goes down again

Cause I need you
Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need youLike a lighthouse needs a coast
Like the father and the son need the Holy Ghost
I need you, OOH I need you

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you, whoa I need you
I need you I need you I need you, I need you

today I discovered wine in a tetra pack....
I now see the future of the world!
I can not wait though till they come in juice box size...... the snobs are going to be heard saying, yes 2007 was a fine year but really, couldn't they include a bendy straw?
The wino in me is jubilant for that day!


hmmm, I got flowers today. I love flowers. they were won in a draw. it was all very random, but who am I to look a gift bouquet in the mouth?

Jen and I went grocery shopping, spent a lovely morning drinking coffee, discussing the disgustingness of various types of 'gurt. Honestly who ever thought that letting milk go bad and putting fruit in it would be a huge health fad.... I bet it was those goat farmers. they have always been a little weird.


She also shared with me her relationship need/needed equilibrium theory...... and I came to the conclusion I don't have very many relationships..... could be because I don't need to be needed, or are reluctant to need the unneeded, or need the needy to need me.... you would have thought we were making bread with the amount that we were talking about needing...


so it was an enthralling day of random bit of the universe flying at me.

and it was sunny.

The sweetest thing

A movie with montages!
there is always time for a movie montage...
my favorite though was the penis montage.....

you penis is so big
your penis is so hard
my body is a movie and your penis is the star!


enter dancing chinese waitress!

HAHAHAHA

106 minutes of my life I will never get back, and perhaps don't need... I think my life is actually richer.

I have a day off
even better I have 2!
i am very excited about this. I will cean and do laundry and a whole shit load of other things that I should have done in the evenings instead of goofing around.
I wish I had something clever and witty to say today... maybe I will tomorrow after some more sleep.

trying to go cold turkey
is it ever possible?
I know why
but how if the hardest part.

people and farm animals

for a while now I have figured people are just animals.... my dad has sworn for years that women and hens are synonymous in their social behaviors. I how ever have been immersed into the cattle realm ( I know I know, more cow talk), but no really. these guys are just like the bulls, they have a pecking order....mostly they just fool around and try to look tough. but really all they care about is when is the next feed time and where are their ladies.

simple
classic

I'll keep it.

I am tired and need a day off
I need to repair my car and clean my house and fix my piggy and have a moment of creativity and do laundry and I still have 7 days before that happens

I am going to sleep

this sucks

i am going to set jen up with dax
they will have a great life
and have a billion babies



or maybe beer and not kill each other
that sounds good too

I need a life

they have sent me back



I may max style it and become their queen....

Today is International Disadvantaged People's Day.

Please send an encouraging message to a retarded friend...just as I've done.I don't care if you lick windows, screw farm animals, take the short bus or occasionally shit yourself...

You hang in there sunshine, you're fucking special.

today work was a gong show.
it was great
I have never laughed so had at so many people's craziness.
*sigh*
I will miss all my monsters
my monsters bought doughnuts, cause it was sunday..
my monsters looked sad, cause it was sunday
my monsters picked fights, told people off, played practical jokes, ran over things, got stuck in mud, bled, high sticked banks with 60 foot beams,bbq-ed, drank too much coffee, all cause it was sunday.

oh my monsters

holy shit
change happens too much in my life lately
Asphalt is starting
I went past a project and the road was hot and hard, and had I been a boy I would have been too.
this mean three things
A I go back to the city, and most likely Drumheller. oh sweet!
2 I don't have to could pile blow counts any more
C I won't get to see my monsters any more..... that makes me a little sad

any how

other than that, my piggy is being crazy bossy today wheeking commands like she is a freaking general.
and I need a wife.

I impulse purchased a turkey today
it may not be the oddest thing that has come home with me that way (An awkward date or to has ended up that way;) they look so sad when you tell them to get the fuck out.)
so now I am in domestic bliss cooking a fucking turkey....
its a small turkey but honestly what was I thinking? I know what I was thinking... I love turkey! Hook me up!
*sigh*

on other fronts...
work is good
the communication factor there is very small... we need to work on that. and I get the typical response from the guys.... what? why...? makes me a bit snipery.
so that is where I sit, in domestic sniperiness. cooking a turkey and cleaning my gun... its going to be a good week.
right?

I have a new imaginary boyfriend..
my imaginary love life is getting complicated!
he's a welder.
next week he will imaginarily fall for me!


my boss says that my crew looks like a gang of convicts and rapists... good thing I tend to emasculate them, much to their horror.... ant they are just worker ants... that and they are on my side.... woe be to any sheep that come our way though *shudders*

this has turned into a weekly update

work work work.
that is about al that has been going on.
thank god spring is here. I thought april should be nice, but no it snowed and blowed on me all week. Then a four day weekend ...hook me up batman!
so hermitage has started and I am totally stoked about it!
whooo hooo!!!
ROCK ON!
*SPIDER MAN*

I have nothingto say.
lots has happened.
life is good.
most of it though i don't think matters to anyone but me.
I need to do laundry.

... my new imaginary boyfriend proposed today.


but I would have to quit my job, move into his house, have a van load of his babies, clean his house, cook food...

ofcourse may be it was that he didn't think it was a good idea for me to live in my own house, which would mean I would have to have a job, and he wasn't up for my kids being cute so there for some one elses.... and romantic evenings, sure they were ok with his boyfrined, and the finer points of living together... Ididn't think it a good trade to wash his clothes or dishes.... I suppose its how you look at it.


I think we are going to get an imaginary divorce.

Saturday

who knew all this could happen in one day!

My new imaginary boyfriend

I have a new imaginary boyfriend
he is fuzzy
and loud and smiles with his eyes.
I am sure he drives a big truck.

Broken stuff
the rig I was on today didn't just break down....
it imploded
and sprayed oil all over me and everyone else
when I left there was a welder busily welding
and NOW " we need to figure out a way to share the truck, when it is cold I need it" it was freaking 5 above.
I am going to be totally sexist and say most polite men would never leave a girl out on a site with 650 men with out a means of communication or transportation.....
but in his country "...servants work is by the women"
Lord give me strength not to smite that ignorant man.
.... this morning it was" I forgot my cigarettes... can we stop and buy some" uh no you made me wait for 10 minutes and I am early for work. all ways. Be prepared.... I don;t smoke. I don't feel bad for you.
BUT I got to spend all day out side
and I am meeting LOTS of ppl.

I am polite
I am not, how ever, patient.
you smoke to bad for you.
women don;t drive, well you don;t have to worry about it
you can't make it out the door at 6...
maybe you should find a different way to work
I don't wait
I can be wrong
I will admit it and laugh about it.
don't make me make my truck a sauna because you can't figure out how to put on two pairs of socks
Bah
Venting done

I saw the biggest person I have ever seen in my likfe today including lori's family!
this guy was HUGE.
I will call him purple.

I hate 5 AM

I hate 5 am
no living person should see that side of the clock
there should be warnings you can give to people that say:
I got up at 5
speak slowly and approach from the left
and bring food
chances are you don't know what 5 am looks like
it looks like a 7-11 day old hot dog... sad and lonely with a odd forlorn twinkle in its eye.
5 AM I hate you

St Patric's day

festiveness!

with pictures

after a nice day at work I headed to whyte ave to see what was happenin'.

oh and this is what I saw! A leprechaun! In Nikes!

SO I carried on for a bit THEN I saw a site that shocked me more than the little man with the pot of gold...

THE LONNIE NOT IN SWEAT PANTS!

my goodness... I didn't even know what to think about that! I assume that this is his secret identity mode.... after all those sweat pants must be connected to his super power.

any how I promised green beer and stimulating conversation... what I got: a press on tattoo and roped into a sparkle hat caper.

evidence!:

Mucho macho lee press on tattoo
This is the victim of the sparkle hat caper.... Jeremy was very brave and stealthy, and I think that man was drunk!
Greg drunk and dialing...
helping apply lee press on tattoo
post festivities...... I have about a million Greg drunk and sparkly pictures now..... lucky me.

Imaginary boyfriend

I have a new imaginary boyfriend
he is Egyptian and speaks Arabic around me
he argues that sadie is a girls name not a grandfathers name
he smells funny
he likes dirt
But he blushes in the most delightful way when he is surprised. and has the longest eyelashes I have ever seen.

I've given up on names
from now on I refer to new ppl as their identifying statement...
Guy that just came back from GP
annoying guy who talks to much about the army
Dude that is friends with the horribleness
Girl that never talks
Girl that never comes to work
lazy guy
Guy who doesnt like anyone but engineers...
you get the point.

love the job.
OT tomorrow
no breaky.... and only one day off... that is ok. I like money enough

pillows call me back
you can sleep when you are dead
perching on the day

oh the life of the working class.
I forgot about how it is.
It is like before except I have no time for myself. unless I count sleeping time, which I suppose does count.
the job is good, the people are GREAT. the 6 o'clock start this morning bit the big one. and the OT was welcomed.
they keep telling me that I am going out of town. as of today it was Wednesday.... and they were not sure for how long.... but just in case I am pretty sure they are training me on everything that they can get me to do. and I am A OK with that. Give me truck to drive even better!

I made the best non committal friend yesterday. Her name is Joy. it is the beginning of a beautiful thing.

I saw a lady today dancing on the street. it amused me. a couple years ago the same woman used to ride, no wait she didn;t ride the same bus, she just waited there in the mornings.... and showed me her dance lesson moves. well she is back so damn the snow that will fal this weekend, spring is here because the dancing lady is back!

Wel that is the down and dirty version of my week.
friday I am acrually looking forward to friday!
Saturday Jen and I are going to the le rond for brunch!
I am ealated!
how fun!

Love letter to brain.

oh brain how could I have doubted you. You are a glorious mass of proteins and energy! I love you more than I love my baby toe ( but not the big toe, I would fall over with out my big toe).
the way you fire synapses and perpetuate thought, it makes me love you even more!
One day brain it will be just you and I, alone with nothing between us!
the joy!
the thoughts we think and the problems that we solve.
I will never doubt you again!


with love and adoration,

today

today I am thinking nothing but shallow thoughts
thoughts so small they are not allowed to go out with out supervision.
like, "why are my arms not longer?"
"why can't my white socks be the same"
and "my soap smells nice"

I think my brain is in retirement......
oh dear

Annie and Chico

they are the best of friends.

chico thinks he shoud be abe to protect the farm with annie, being that he is a mighty might dawg!

Annie, all she cares about is that the moose stay out of her yard.

she was sucessful in that task, but the moose still ate dad's hay.... and DIED.... that is what happens to hay thieves, they die. so the Annie moose story is # 17, the moose eating himself to death is #4 ( followers of this blog may recall the death of the hay thief in britain that I linked to. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)

yes, those are the same clouds over and over

My family .... and the extras

Missy and my mom....

Beck and Francois. aka: micheal St. Loise, or mike st loius ( like the city to my dad). You will notice he has on a moose shirt. this shirt caused conversation # 41, I limited it and all other spin off to #41 because other wise I would still be counting. oh birthday boy and girl
