Segway suicide

In the news.

Sad news this week.  The owner of Segway killed himself riding one of his vehicle off a cliff.  Now, if you're like me, you ask, what the heck is a Segway...some kind of moped or something?

No my friends.  It's much more funnier than that.

Ok, suicide is never funny.

But this news made me smirk.  Just imagine the scene..

For non-techies, this is a Segway.  I'm sure you've seen some.  Personnally, I think it's a ridiculous invention, except maybe for the elderly.  But picture this American police officer chasing you with the sirens on...

Sorry my American friends.  You are not the only ridiculous nation...the Chinese police force also uses it!

The physics theory

Well folks, blood tests went well. I folded to their instructions afterall and went (almost) on an empty stomach.


Turns out the seabands are helping more now that I've had them on for a while. So I was able to drink a bit of water and nibble a bit of cheese (nothing sweet to screw up the glucose test) before going in. I was so proud of myself. :)…I hope they don't notice that I wasn't completely honest…sssshhhhhhhh!


Friends, I eat so much, I wonder why I'm not 150lbs by now. Where does it go? In school they told us, and it's one of the 10 things I remember from high school, about an absolute truth. Nothing is lost, nothing is created. Sound familiar? Meaning everything already exists, from gas, to liquid, to solid. Matter just transforms. So where the heck does all this food go?!

And the man is back!

Gooood morning!




Well, Daddy is finally back home. Thaaaaank goodness! Now I don't have to be a single parent anymore, yay!

Last week was rough. Severe nausea has started, on top of the fatigue, it was hard to take care of myself, let alone take care of a 15 month old. But I did a great job (pat on the back) and I survived.


My oh so lovely manager is off for 2 weeks, eeehaw! Makes me happy. No stress for a few days, which is most welcomed.

Now that my hubby's back, I'll have time to finish my laundry, get to bed earlier and even straighten my hair, woah!


Today sucks at work. My buddy is off to take care of her kid, and I'm feeling sick. Got some seabands, not doing a whole lot for me though. Next step, gravol! Tomorrow I'm going for bloodtests. They want me to be on an empty stomach to take my glucose. WTF?! Pregnant women can't be on an empty stomach!! Well too bad, they'll have to check my glucose another time!



Off to get more food, I didn't pack a big enough lunch. :(

Is the week over yet?

oh no, silly me, it's just starting!!  FAK!
My wonderful boss is starting to really annoy the heck out of me.  One of my coworkers is leaving for another team, our effing boss being one of the reasons, and I'm envying him.  My team will now consist of me, my effing boss, and one other old-fart-I-know-it-all coworker.  Nice, eh?

Thank goodness I have a good friend in another team, who puts sunshine in my day, cuz I wouldn't stick it out.  In fact, if everything stays the same by the time May comes around and I go on mat leave, I'll sure look for someplace else to come back to work to.

Ok, rant over. 

Baby is doing well lately, although he's getting viruses left and right.  Not too too bad, just a little exausting when he won't eat.  He declared war this weekend.  Wouldn't eat.  Now, Baby is not skinny, so it's not really a big deal, but it still bothered me that he would only eat cheese and bread.  Thankfully, it has passed.  Apparently, a couple kids at daycare were like that too.  On top of that, he was constipated.  And people, isn't true we don't feel well when we're full of shit? lol!  I'm really glad he exploded at daycare yesterday morning and not home!

Enough negativeness.

oh yeah.  Daddy's gone to Vegas for a week-long bike show, so I'm all alone fending for myself and a toddler.  Well la-di-da, ain't I the luckiest person in the world, I'm getting support from everyone!  My aunt and a neighbour brought me food, people are coming over at night to help with bathtime, even a friend of mine who has a baby herself is taking time to come help me!  I'm so blessed.  It reminds me of when Dad died and we got support from a gazzilion people, it was really emotional to realize how much love we received.  Same this week, it's overwhelming, all this love! 

Shout out to Link, whom I haven't chatted with in a long time.  Lucky is helping me out, she's the best! 

So, how you doin'?!

Le cuisinier rebelle!

I need to watch more tv...!
I just found an interesting show

Le Cuisinier Rebelle

The guitarist from a band I loved 10 years ago is now doing a cooking show!!  Not only is he a cool self-taught chef, but his show has easy interesting recipes and he's fun to watch.  Did I mention his awesome kitchen?  It runs on a new network called Zeste, which only runs cooking shows.  I think I might have to watch tv a little more often now...

Since I love food, and am not a super chef, it makes me wanna be one.  Maybe one day I'll have a dream kitchen.

One day!

My Strange Addiction

Woah.  So I'm watching this show on TLC called My Strange Addiction.  It's 4 people who've got really strange psychological addictions.  Tonight it's:

1. A 22 year old girl who's diagnosed with pica, and is addicted to eating chalk, laundry detergent and the cement side of the pool.
2. A 45 year old woman who's addicted to shopping.  She spends about 1,500$ a week and is 85,000$ in debt.
3. A 44 year old man who's addicted to running.  He runs about 100 miles a week.  He started running after his divorced.  He's litterally running away from his problems.
4. A 20 year old girl who's addicted to tanning.  She's been tanning full time since she was 13 years old.  She thinks that if she dies tomorrow of skin cancer, "she'll die hot!"  She tans about 10 hours a week outside without sunscreen.  Her skin tone is dark orange.

I hope these people get medical help.  Besides the shopping, their addiction is life threatening.  I hope they give updates on these people at the end of the show. 

Maybe Dr. Cruickshank can help in this matter...

My addiction?  good food.  But it's not compulsive.  Then I'd definitely go to Dr. Cruickshank.

G'night, addicts!

Baby Making month #3

Lucky us, it worked!!!

We are pregnant for a second time!  "Worked" really hard at the end of August, and it took!  We're due around May 14th.  Already got my doula booked and mat clothes ready.  Won't be long 'till my regular clothes don't fit anymore!!

New furnace and long weekend

Oh boy, feel like it's been a while since I wrote anything on here!  My bad!
We had a great Labor Day weekend.  It was nice to have 2 days in a row with my whole family.  I usually only get Sunday.  So it was nice!

We went to see Our Lady Peace and Hedley at a festival last Friday.  In the rain.  Boy are we real fans.  It wasn't cold, so we didn't mind, it was more annoying, but we had our umbrella-ella-ella..  OLP was ok, but he was off key a lot in the first few songs and couldn't hit the higher notes.  But Rain Maida compensated by being a super trooper and going in the crowd with the fans.  The played all the best songs, which was great!  Hedley was, as usual, full of energy.  It was a good show, very impersonnal, but good entertainment.  They played all their best songs too, made me happy.  I sang along like the geek that I am.

Baby is majorly teething.  2 back teeth are peeking from his gums in the back.  Poor little guy is cligny and a bit difficult.  At least we know there's a reason and he's still sleeping all night.  It's harder to be patient in these hard times, but it could be way worse.

Working hard these days, with my new responsibilities at the office.  Love it!

Oh, and we're getting a new furnace too!  Not exciting, but homeowners know it's a big step.  Since we're going to be moving in a couple of years, we chose a high efficiency furnace, but in leasing.  Dunno if I mentionned this earlier (scatterbrain), but we're trying to upgrade to sell in a few years.  We still have to carpet the stairs, get a central vac and retouch paint.  We might be able to get lucky and sell with the old windows.  They are BIG, so it would be freggin expensive to change them before we leave.

ok, got some laundry to do.   Gooooood night! xox

Finally, cool air!

Goood Lord!

So we finaly found out what was wrong with the air conditioning.  I thought it was the furnace not blowing air, and that was partly true.  There was a freeon leak and it froze everything!  Pipes were frozen or something, and the air wasn't passing through.  The guy told us on Monday to keep it on "fan" until he came back the next day.  Sure enough, everything had thawed and made a medium mess in the basement (nothing a beach towel can't handle). 

When he came out the next day, he fixed it, did some tests, etc.  It only cost 180$, and I'm sure glad to pay it!  Nothing like being comfortable.  Ahhhhhh!

Baby is happier too, poor little guy had 2 hot nights.  No wonder he was cranky!  Daddy and I were too.  Well, mostly him.  :)

Daddy's working the evening shift, so I got it to myself, yeee to the haw!  I'll probably get prepared for tomorrow and then relaaaaaax!

Oh yeah, I wanted to mention this.  I'm having constant nightmares in the past week, so annoying.  They're not terrorizing, they're stressing the heck of me out!  I dream that I'm being chased all the time.  Like, chased with weapons.  Stressful!  I'm not rested, I yawn all day at work.  I'll try and rest tonight, maybe a little meditation, a little reading...shoot, I'm relaxing just writing it down :)

OK, bath time, then dodo for the little one.  Then it's ME time!!
Have a good night, invisible friends! xox
