Merry Elexmas!!

I'm a huge fan of Rick Mercer's political satire. The upcoming post-christmas election here in Canada has given him much grist for his mill. So, in lieu of Happy Hannukah or Happy Festivus I wish you a Merry Elexmas!
Vote once, vote well.

Btw - Typepad is down this a.m. until who knows when so Typepad blogs are not showing current content.

November

Still pregnant, still kicking, mother to a 13 year old. How did that happen?

October

Fall is here, the heat is on
Nights fall faster
soon all the leaves be gone

want time to get me through
the baby kicks,
girl or little boy blue?

September

Still pregnant, still blogging, still in shock over the devastation in the south. I don't know how to process everything I see. God bless the survivors and the people helping them.

Coming up on a year

I've been blogging for over a year now. Just didn't start here until last September. It's been interesting. I'm thinking of shifting my archives over to my Typepad site. That's all, just wanted to mark August on the calendar.

Another one for July

I put a ticker up. A fish out of water. Just because I didn't want to miss out on having a ticker at least once in my life. Also, I can't count or keep track of anything so this will help me follow along in my own pregnancy. Too bad they don't make a ticker with velcro or glue to represent just how much I need this pregnancy to stick.

one for July

four days until birthday, four minutes till I fall face first on the keypad.

Crying

yes, today it all got to me and I cried.
I will give you the bullets:

• I don't have a job
• I don't have any money
• my husband went away to an event without me
• I haven't missed that event in four years, it means a lot to me.
• my mother is always angry with me
• I feel enormous guilt
• My kid doesn't seem to want to be around me
• Our house deal fell through, we lost the house
• I have a golf ball growing in me and it hurts
• It's hot here

I feel better now, thanks

Whatever...there seems to be something strange going on with The Ecosystem because my ranking for this site has jumped up two levels and I don't know who all these new links are from. If you have nothing to do, search Lala Land in the rankings over at TTLB and look at some of the weird links. How did they find me, who are they? All valid questions.
If you're done with that and you've read all the archives for this site then please, feel free to come to my new home and follow along there.

#50 thru 71

50. My first truck was a 76 baby blue Ford, 3 on tree, no power steering
51. I’ve had trucks for the past 7 years
52. I now drive a Toyota Tacoma, extended cab
53. I have a truck so my dog can ride in the back
54. Vodka is the first dog that I owned by myself
55. I wanted another child so I got a dog
56. Being a single mom is all I’ve ever known
57. I liked it
58. My mom was a single mom
59. We’re very close unless we’re fighting
60. We’re fighting right now
61. I feel like this is that Van Halen song "Right now"
62. Right now I’m not listening to Van Halen
63. I’m listening to Michael Bublé
64. I still like Van Halen though
65. I like 80's music too
66. I missed out on grunge
67. Jackson and I both like Eminem
68. Watching him develop musical interests is fun
69. Watching him not have any friends is not
70. I thought that age 10 through 15 was hell
71. He seems to be oblivious

April already??

Just realized I hadn't posted anything since March. How uncool.


The only thing I have to say is that I miss my grandmother's cooking. Loblaw's lemon meringue pie gets me by in a pinch but it just isn't the same.
I don't miss her fingers around my throat or her yelling orders but I do miss her cooking.
I think I'd like to leave a different impression after I'm gone.

Eff the eff off

Yes, It's fedupgrrl again.
Gawd, I'm awful.
Today's hate is all about my least fave co-worker. Someone with whom I have no communication. Someone who gives me the evil eye in front of customers and makes me go into the walk-in and scream my head off in frustration.
I want to quit, I want to run away and never come back.
Get on a bus and get off in Wawa and walk in to a diner and get a job serving coffee and scrambled eggs in an orange uniform with a polyester tiara in my hair.
THAT would be ten times better than working with my mother.
Thank you, you've been kind. If you don't hear from me, check the road stops along the Trans Canada for a trucker hag named Annie. That's where I'll be.

Where I can speak my mind

This blog, for all intents and purposes, has become a feeder to my typepad site and so no one really reads it anymore. Or so I assume. Correct me if I'm wrong.
So I think I'm actually going to post all the negative, hurtful shit that's on my mind here so anyone involved in said shit doesn't read it. Maybe I'm being naive.
Tonight I'd like to rant about the fact a certain someone at my store did not place an order with our drink supplier last week and consequently, we are out of a shitload of stuff smack in the middle of March Break. I'm not sure if any of you know about food cost but the goal is to keep it around 28-30%. If I have to go out and buy Pepsi products and the wholesaler they will cost me much more than they would from Pepsi, sending my food cost skyrocketing. This pisses me off.
Coupled with a crappy customer, today's mood is in the shitter.
Here's a tip. If a store offers you a loyalty card and you are one stamp away from getting it filled, redeem it in the store where you got the most stamps. Don't get your last stamp and then hand it to your mother who is next in line, who already picked the most expensive thing on the menu, for her to use when all nine of the previous stamps came from the fucking North Bay store. Be nice and use it where you spent the money and don't pull that crafty shit on me.
Just don't.

end rant

March roared in

with an enormous amount of snow. Just hoping it doesn't stick around.
As mentioned below the new site is Lala Land over at Typepad. Lemme know what you think.

FYI

Still here, hanging around haunting the place. Migrating links and stuff.
Boy, setting up a new page is a lot of work!

Ok then

The new site is here

There are some kinks like the colour of the "comments" button but it shows up when you hover over it.
Boulder already found it 'cause she's sneaky that way.
All my links will be on the about page.
I haven't migrated them all over yet. Anyone know how I can import html? I cannot figure it out, too tired I guess.

Tell me what you think......

The photo below

It's advertising for Bell Sympatico(Internet Provider) and I find it very offensive. In case you can't read it, the small print over one of the cut-outs says "ovary".

In how many ways does this offend? 

moving on up....

Typepad + Lala = Lala Land Redux

Coming soon to a monitor near you...I just have to fix a few little things.

Should I try to move all my posts over?

Do I know from Mucous!

Ed. Note - Christopher: Stop reading, you really don't want to know this stuff.

Erin was asking about my cycle so I thought I'd update.
The aftermath of the m/c ended around the 18th of November and AF was quick on it's heels, arriving on Nov. 30th.
AF arrived again Dec. 31 with a ferocity I have rarely seen.
Then she got back to a normal 27 day span, arriving again on Jan. 26th.
Now we wait.
I have not been charting/temping over the past few months due to disrupted sleep and lack of will.
I just don't want to be on the rollercoaster right now but I have this feeling......


And feelings aren't something I have much of anymore.
O! how I used to have feelings.
I used to get so horny, so very, very horny. It took me over for a couple of days at a time.
Not anymore.
I used to know my mucous and Oy! Do I know from mucous.
Not anymore.
My hormones are lost to me and I miss them terribly.
If you find them please send them home.
