Lord help me.....

.....but I got the crazy notion to sign up for a writing class. The only problem is I'm not a writer. And I am already envisioning being stuck in this little bookstore, once a week for 2 months, with a bunch of really smart people, having to read my previous week's homework assignment OUT LOUD to the group. This is another fear of mine. Public speaking. Ironic, I know, because of what I do every day to make a living. But seriously....I was writing this blog for like 2 months before I even told anyone I had a blog. Yet, I posted new entries diligently.

Oh, on the topic of public speaking, I get to MC the Wiarton Willie 2010 Press Conference on Thursday. Move over Vancouver 2010. This is where the real action will be happening.



I love that photo - it looks like I just really cannot contain my enthusiasm. My face also looks very blotchy. There may have been some sort of self-tanner misfortune going on, I'm not sure.

Anyways, get ready Willie...here I come.

I finally.....

....de-Christmassed the house. The tree is still up though. It's possible that it's taken root in the laminate floors. We might just try to keep it alive until next Christmas.

Who says November 22nd is too early to put up a real tree?!

On a side note, I only just today was notified that my voicemail recording at work is me telling people I'm off for the holidays and wishing them a Merry Christmas. The sad part is, it's now the 12th of January and no one else has notified me of this.

Maybe I'll add "Update Voicemail Greeting" to my agenda for this afternoon. Done & done...what's next?

I don't make....

...New Year's Resolutions. So this year I waited until January 4th before deciding to give up Pepsi. Then it's a resolution of sorts, but not a "new year's" resolution. See how that works? Anyways, I'm allowed to drink Diet Pepsi, just not regular Pepsi. It's nowhere near close to the sweet, syrupy goodness of regular Pepsi. And anyone who says it is, is a big liar.

Has anyone ever lost their mind from quitting Pepsi cold turkey?

There's a first time for everything.

Last night the boy.....

....was kind enough to cook supper for me while I lay on the couch watching a 2-hour episode of The Bachelor. (Yes, my life is usually that exciting.) Anyways, he was trying to talk on the phone while pouring the pasta into the boiling water (he's very domestic you see) and instead he poured pasta shells all over the kitchen floor. As he swept as the noodles into a dustpan and held it out for me to see, I examined the assortment of shells and tufts of dog hair. Then he asked me if I still wanted pasta.

I have a secret to tell you.....

....I just watched Zombieland. It came out last year and I've been meaning to watch it forever. I finally got around to it. It was really good! Woody Harrelson is in it. I love him. Oh, and it also stars Abigail Breslin. Remember her? She was the little girl in the amazing movie Little Miss Sunshine. Anyways, you should check out both these films.



I LOVE Zombie movies. I'm learning to embrace the fact that I have the same taste in movies as most 12-year-old boys.

To my friends.....

...who tell me that I keep adopting dogs as a way to satiate my secret desire to really have children of my own......don't be silly! You are so totally wrong.

On a completely unrelated note, scroll down to check out my new dog carrier:

My sister-in-law.....

...just had this to say about my Glamour Shot posting from earlier today (just scroll a few postings down if you missed it.)

"Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Isn't that the picture you always hid at the cottage before having friends up?"

Well, yes Christina, it is....but I've stopped hiding it. Now, I just embrace it.

LOUD & PROUD.

Speaking of loud & proud.......(scroll down)












WORK IT LADY!



I love you.
