Foot in Mouth Syndrome, yes, thank you.
Alrighty, here goes: First off, let me tell you all that I got the results of that disgusting Barium Swallow last week and SOMETHING actually showed up. FINALLY…a little bit of a break. I’ve only been sick since the start of AUGUST! So, now I’m on even more medication and have a list of foods that I can’t eat…the biggest one (for me, anyways) is chocolate. WTF? This is like telling me not to blink again *sad face*. Oh yeah, so, chocolate, peppermint, caffeine/coffee (no biggie), citrus, garlic (right up there with chocolate), anything acidic or raunchy (onions, apples, etc.), etc. The list goes on. Sucks, eh? Well, I suppose not for you but I live on chocolate and garlic. It’s bad enough that I already can’t have dairy and a bunch of other crap. What the hell? So, basically I’m livin’ on bread and water from now on (which really sucks b/c I don’t eat bread). *SIGHS LOUDLY*
Anyway, back to the update. Friday after work I went to my parents’ to pick up mail and all that jazz. Took my dad for a drive in my car b/c he wanted to see how I’m handling a stick now (I’m going really fast!). Then I got some groceries and was thinking what I was gonna do for the rest of the evening when Amy called and said she was coming over. We gossiped and watched a few episodes of "What Not to Wear" and then I fell asleep on the couch so she decided to go home.
Saturday, Amy and I spent most of the day shopping. We had made plans to hit a few Frenchy’s and we had a blast. I had the giggles and thought for sure we would be asked to leave the first location (I made a lovely "fatass" comment to Amy but not directed at her…not realizing there was a larger lady behind her – I wasn’t directing the comment at anyone, I just like nicknames). I don’t know what was wrong with me. Chocolate withdrawal probably. Got lots of good stuff tho. After we finished up at the second Frenchy’s we grabbed lunch and then scooted in to New Minas. We checked out the goods at Absolulety Fabulous and I got really excited to hear they were playing a Blue Rodeo CD (Outskirts, 1987). Yay for me. Then we made the mistake of going to the mall b/c I, of course, spent money into Suzy’s. More money on 2 items then I spent on the 7 or so at Frenchy’s. Ah well.
On my way home I stopped in to visit Cat for a bit and committed to hanging with the boy while she was picking up my brother at the airport and until my parents got back from dinner. So I headed over to their place and he and I had a great time. He’s too smart but he makes me laugh. Once my parents came home I finished my visit and headed home to rest my aching back (it’s getting better tho. Whoot!) when I got a call. It was Heather saying she was coming over for a visit. Double Whoot! She was down for a surprise visit for her dad and brother and apparently me. We had a nice time catching up and laughing at Facebook photos and then she had to go.
Sunday I was SO bored! Nothing to do on a gorgeous day and nobody home anywhere. I went out for a drive trying to find someone but everyone sucks! Haha. I eventually stopped in to visit Dean & Erica but Erica was asleep (sick baby) so Dean and I chatted for a few then I headed out. I stopped at Walmart for minute then headed back home to my den of boredom. Later on Stephanie called to go for coffee so I met up with her shortly after 5 and we caught up and gossiped. Fun times. Then I headed back home. I spent the rest of the night fighting off a migraine (I lost) and finally headed to bed.
Have a lovely week, y’all.
Don’t forget this coming weekend is the Junos which means the Juno Cup at my place Friday night….and, of course, Juno party Sunday evening. (Have I mentioned that Jim is up for a few nominations?)

Wednesday Night Club

BLAH!
Well, it’s been a so-so week..only worked half-days since I’m still recovering from my back injury – but hey, I can tie my own shoes now. Whoopee! Thank goodness the boss man is so easy-going. I came to work, worked non-stop till everything was done and then out I went (back home to my couch).
Okay, for the deal on the weekend…let’s see, well, we’ll start with Thursday night b/c Darren (Black Magic) gave me tickets to the charity hockey game in Wolfville so Amy, Tanya and I went. We had an okay time. I took my mini heating pad with me but Amy stole it to keep warm. We spent a good amount of time making fun of the hillbillies that came out of the woodwork for the game – because that’s what we do (Heather, we missed you horribly for this). But it was a good time.
Friday night I didn’t do much – another snowstorm and I was tired and lazy. I went to bed fairly early, in fact. It was quite pathetic. Saturday night I had a date w/Cat to watch a movie. I went over early and played with the boy and got him wound up before bed, b/c that’s what aunts are for. 🙂 Cat and I watched the movie once he went to bed and then I went home and hit the sack myself. I know, still pathetic, but what can I do? Sunday afternoon I was so bored so I decided to go for a little drive. Stopped at Amy’s to drop off a movie and then popped in to see Steve. In the evening Tanya and I had a coffee date, got to see the old perverted roomie Steve S. and then finally home. Got to chat with Annie-Lou in BC for a few and again, time for bed.
I promise that once my back is better I will have fun and interesting things to say…I PROMISE.
Cheers.
