What If You Just Keep Him Hanging?

Bruderheim, AB.

*Title inspired by disturbed friend on Facebook.  His is from Port Alberni after all.

We got a shot of this gem on our long drive from site (Ft. McKay to Calgary).  At least they're getting with the modern age and being creative.  Gotta give 'em points for that.  

For those who care, day surgery went fine as in there were no complications but my questions aka pain has not been answered.  I think I will be working on a second opinion especially since my OBGYN who performed the surgery will no longer be available.  You know how I found out?  By calling to book in April, like she asked, for the follow up.  At first the Bitchface Receptionist said, "No, she's no longer at this clinic."  In the most snottiest tone possible I asked, "Well WHY would she ask me to book in April?!  I just bloody had surgery!"  Bitchface: "Oh, I didn't notice this but it's April 27th.  You can come in on April 27th at 9am."  There's no give with this people in general.  They give you an appt and act like there's no other date that you can come in.  They've done this when they've canceled my appointment which I have carefully chosen due to my work schedule.  They can't grasp that I don't fucking work in Calgary and I book appointments due to that fact.  Ok so long story short they suck and they won't budge.   This time they're being honest.  April 27th is the only gawd damn day that she is seeing patients.  Of course I'm working up North.  So I booked it tentatively but I'm none too impressed.  This doctor did not inform me that she was leaving and she's not taking her patients. 
I'm sore and frustrated to say the least.

I also haven't slept much with a head full of pain meds so I'm a bit snaggley and emotional.  Also not too bright.  Guess who decided too just save some time &  $$ and buy a box of Hair Dye right after she had surgery?   Guess who's front bangs, which were bleach blond, went a shade of greyish green?   Yeah a big ol' epic fail.  I called up my hair dresser who has a home salon nearby.  I shamefully admitted what happened and she squeezed me in for 8am this morning.  She had a good laugh at me for sure. 

I've learned my lesson.

Even though I'm blah and still can't wear jeans (seriously I'm 2 sizes bigger from swelling & bloating) we are having a BBQ.  It's like 6 fucking degrees in Calgary....in February!  That is astonishing.  Thank Mother Earth for Chinooks!
We shall be BBQ some asstastic ribs, which I boiled with onion, garlic, and spices last night.  Kidlet and I will be making a Stout BBQ sauce that is damn fine.  Also we are making some Japanese chicken wings  (Totally low fat with all that frying in butter.)  Also going to grill zucchini with fresh Parmesan, lemon, cracked pepper, and parsley.  Haven't decided on what salad dressing I'm going to make but it shall be tasty, naturally *scoff*.   For appies we got some fresh baked herbed bread with garlic olive oil (Kudos of Snaggletooth) and a balsamic reduction for dipping.  We'll do up some cheeses, pickles, and veggie sticks.  That's just a staple at our house.  
We love food and entertaining.  It's been quite sometime since we've had anyone over but we can't seem to find enough people to come!  Everyone is busy in Winter..weird.  Or nobody likes us anymore.  Hell even if they didn't like us they would still come for the food.  


Now I know I'm supposed to tell you about our travels but I've just been so wrapped up in the now.  I promisess I will tell ya about it and post some pictures...at some point. 
For now here's a few shots. (They're totally random, you can't expect order from me now can ya?)

Port Lucaya...finally found a place that serves flavored vodka and soda.

Our Beach

Nassau - The Forever Bathroom

Port Lucaya

We don't have this in Canada, or we just haven't come across this evil goodness.

Coral Reef Bar - Where we spent a majority of our time.

Coral Reef Pool.  Too damn cold to swim.  We spent more time in the ocean. 

Happy Feet indeed.

Quick Liquor Infused Ramblings

Try Googling, "I Miss You," and you wouldn't believe all the gey-ass mushy stuff that pops up (I'm not using the term, "Gay," in that sense.  I support the rainbow yo').  I picked the turtle because it's not in a Half-Shell and they're pretty bad ass.  Bad ass as in they've been round the block a few times and hey, I miss you. 

  I know I owe some pictures from the Bahamas.  I did have them saved on my laptop but since Dell's are such a piece of shite and we were too lazy to rebuild it as soon as we bought it...it crapped out.  Now I know why my senior family members go through so many PCs/Laptops.  The Big Box Electornic Bitches put nothing but shit ass programs on them and sell even more shitty warranties on these crap filled units.   The only thing I did was load The Witcher and browse gmail/facebook.  for 2 MONTHS.  Oh my original point, I'm a lazy ass and haven't loaded all the pictures to the laptop again.  I will.  I promise without a timeline attached to that promise. 

I have to say that having 6 weeks off was killer.  Having the flu and then a cold wasn't so fun but at least I wasn't stuck in a camp room trying to recover.  Going to the Bahamas was tons of fun and I have stories but nothing really sinful.   Sorry to give you a dissapoint.  

Up Yours Tiger.  Gimmie some money.  I'll make it worth your while. 

Oh but anyways I've been back to work and I swore I would be back to the regular scheduling.  The thing is home office still sent shit loads of invoices from November on December 22nd (I'll remind you that we were long gone....actually we stuck to the john at home with a nastly flu).  So I have been super busy and feeling a lil' burnt.  Shit son, I didn't even know what program(s) to open at first.  I really started to panic because I thought I caused some perma swiss cheese holes in my grey matter.  

 Fortunately I didn't do perma damage (that I've detected).  

All I can say is that I've missed the Blogosphere.  I've really missed reading all your posts but I don't dare yet.  It really is a type of crack.  Once I start reading one I start reading all of them and then...well...I have a problem.  I don't want to quit just yet so I'm going to take a few glimpses here or there.  To top it off we're leaving work early and I'm going for a surgery.  It's just a day surgery but yet again another crutch.  ( Herro...gonna be high as a codeine kite so I won't be attempting to form recordable words for a few days). 

Mucho luv and unwarranted groping out to you all.

**PS ~ I Appolonia for dropping the S-Bomb so many times!  I'm still not going to change it but I'm still sorry.

2010 Big Rock Beer Entry - Poker Face

I Shall Return HUZZAH!

To be honest I've been busy relaxing after our 2 week whirlwind trip to the Bahamas which of course I'm going to brag tell you all about.  We've just been so busy with gaining weight and playing PC games (The Witcher is partly to blame as it's been eating up plenty of brain numbing time....plus I can't get #2 until I finish the first) that I haven't even been reading blogs. 

Plus my new laptop shit the bed after 2 months...piece o' shite Dell.  Good thing Manfriend is an IT guy and rebuilt it ASAP.  Mostly it was for his benefit so he could get his laptop back (The Witcher is on his as well and we can transfer the saved data).  

However, do not fear!  We shall be returning to the Great White North that is that asshole called Fort McMurray.  We are driving there tomorrow *Insert great whining and upset here*.  So that means back to the 10hr work days and being stuck in our camp room out in the middle of effin' no where.  Yes, I shall return to my regular programming. 

Just want to say, thanks for reading and sticking with me folks.  You assist in maintaining my sanity and for that, Manfriend thanks you too. 

PS: I haaaavvvve to go back to work on Monday...after 6 weeks off.  Fuckity!  This sweet taste of freedom is tough to let go.  However, the expanding waistline is saying; Time to get back to work and routine fatty. Besides, can't buy bigger clothes if you're not making money.

Crapper.

Bragging Rights!

So we finally made it.  Oh I have the hellish holiday travel experience to share but it's 9:26am, it's hot, and I'm hungover.  You know what that means??  I sipping on a uber girly Bacardi Breezer and heading to the beach.

Mucho Luv

That's IT..I am GONE.....to the bahamas.....Picture Scavenger Hunt Anyone?

Holy Batshit the day has finally arrived!  The trip was booked 6 weeks ago and finally we board the plane at 7am tomorrow morning. 
  Yes this will be our beach for 2 weeks.  Actually, that's incorrect as we will be flying to Nassau next weekend for 2 nights and will be doing a bit of fine dining. That beach will be ours most of the time and watch for us kicking bitches off our desired seats.
 Today has been filled with running around, packing and cleaning.  Also trying to ensure that things are as easy as fucking possible for CaveDweller for when we're gone.  Even though he's been asked time and time again for certain routines to persist in the household, he forgets.  Apparently working from home takes a toll on his memory.  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate someone looking after my dog but I still have to request time and time again that she be fed twice a day  (OMG pleasssse just do it! I ask nicely, am considerate, and even cook for you. ). Morning and night.   


Erm..Moving on..


Wait...I'm GOING TO THE FUCKING BAHAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAHHHH Fuck the SNOW! 
7am we shall be boarding the flight to Toronto and from there we will be going to Freeport.  

We have wireless in the condo so I will be posting from time to time.  Forewarning, it may not in proper taste with worse grammar than usual but please do blame the sun and rum. Might as well blame the humidity as well since I am used to practically none in Alberta.  All that moisture may make my grey matter mushier than normal. 

So next thing is...What do you want me to take a picture of?!?!  Remember when I did the Picture Scavenger Hunt for our RV Trip in B.C?  Well I would absolutely love to attempt one in the Bahamas.

Please do let the ideas flow and I'll catch ya on the flipside!! 

Happy 1/1/11 and Urinal Cakes

So hope all you fat cats had a great New Years Eve and felt as shitty as I did when you got up.  Sure I stay out till 3am but come 9am I'm awake, crotchety and most certainly not in the mood, much to Manfriend's dismay. Pretty sure I did some sort of snarl bark in response to his physical endeavors.    
Yesterday I was all gung ho about making the hang over breaky so we have all the fixin's.  You know what happened?  I made a can of soup.  Fuck Bacon....yeah that's how bad I felt.  You know it's serious when I be dissin' the pork candy from ye gods.

After sodium loaded soup, it was off to the couch for some much needed, un-sexy, sprawllage.   Thank goodness we have 2 couches and even though I'm the smaller person I always end up with the big couch.  Now that's love bitches. 
Let the TV watching commence!
We started with the National Geographic channel with the first show being a documentary on LSD.  Then it was Afgan Heroin and following right behind a documentary on Marijuana.  ( Funny, you think it would start with Weed first and let the rest follow?) Then we have found our new favourite show:

www.drinkingmadeeasy.com

Not only is it a show about drinking but they turned it into a drinking game as well!  It is also informational yet entertaining.  I'm a little jealous though because what a bloody DREAM JOB.  They get to travel, socialize, and drink on TV. Bastards.

So one more thing I wanted to share before I get back to my hair of the dog beer drinking. 

On Thursday we checked out this 'English' style pub we have never been to.  Our server was a Butterface and did not have any personality to make up for it. I also think that no one has actually taught her the pleasantries and duties outside of just bringing food & drinks to the table.   She was next to fucking useless and I'm very patient (believe it or not).   Anyways, Manfriend goes to the Loo (aka potty) and returns rather giddy.  He gets all excited to tell me about the urinal and some sort of plastic soccer ball thingy.  Have you heard of the fly in the urinal to assist those with bad aim?

 I tell him to go back and promptly return with pictures of this new ingenious thing! 

 

That soccer ball is attached to the goal net by a little string...so it bounces around when you pee on it. 

How fucking bad ass cool is that?

So besides the crumby service, we would return just because of some of the nifty quirks, and they serve booze.  We're easy.

So everyone, enjoy your hangover day or for those preggers or clean-living lifestyle ...enjoy utilizing yet another productive day.  I know ours won't be.
