I quite often find things in my bra....popcorn, raisins, nuts, crumbs, etc. It is pretty typical...yesterday i was eating raisins at work and one went down and I couldn’t find it and wasn’t wanting to do a FULL INVESTIGATION since I was at work and its moments like that when a co-worker stealthily walks past your desk and it appears you are GROPING yourself. I thought it may have hit the ground and bounced out of my sight too.....I forgot all about it until about 8 pm last night while sprawled on the couch –I dug for it and THERE SHE WAS!! A salty moist and warm raisin...couldn’t get Graeme to eat it...but we did discuss how I would like to make something with it and give it to someone I don’t like to eat just for the snickering factor.
Watching the 2nd season of “THE IT CROWD” currently and it makes me laughhhhh omfg...I love it. (ADELE A COPY IS COMING FOR YOU!) Graeme also found the US version of the show so that should be interesting to watch and see if it’s even half as funny and clever as the UK version I am in love with. Then I think it will be a Father Ted Marathon...I am due to re-watch Father Ted....
I can’t wait until my kid is a grown up...my gawd I grow weary of the consistent shitty treatment from her...which I know I should not take personally but when you invest every waking moment into someone’s safety and well being it’s a little fucking difficult to detach in such a manner – I do not possess the ability to do that. I just don’t. It’s the get the fuck out of my life and leave me alone I can live my own life and don’t need you hovering being a pain in my fucking ass shit that gets me the most...Ohhh pardon me...you sure fucking manage to PUT UP WITH ME JUST FINE when I am doling out $ for FOOD SAFE and other such needed shit...ohhh yeah then she can treat me like a human being but if there is nothing to be gained – I am a pustule of grossness in her life. It is like being in an abusive marriage I think...to a degree...I am the 1st one to admit I over-think about a lot of shit where she is concerned b/c my own experiences as a teenager/kid are still very close to my emotional surface and I am horrified shit will be repeated inadvertently so I am always so fucking analytical...it annoys me. Ugg. It shall pass as per usual I am sure...until next time and I will post about how fucking pissed off I am again about the exact same gawd damn shit I have little to no control over....
Poor little Sidney is sick sick sick...his birthday yesterday was a bust...he has a terrible barf flu and has been generally unwell...it sounds pretty serious for such a little guy...I don’t think Ayla ever barfed for a week straight b4 THANK GAWD id have lost my gawd damn mind!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CARA TODAY – she is 2...and im sure her mom Connie has some special little wingding planned....and CAKE! Mmmmm cake. I could eat a whole white cake with chocolate icing right now...I COULD!!!!!!!!!! Omfg I could. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cake...cake is my friend...it is a friend to my mouth but not to my ass.
It is so quiet in here today...ugh. And slow...I was so bored I read through someone’s adoption folder and found it very interesting that the couple make about 20K each per year but they have 300K in the bank, property in India and 4 other accounts that total about 100K – and ZERO debt with a house worth 800K. Ummm HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! How did ya manage that!???!?!?!?! I am in awe of other ppls financial lives...mainly b/c mines so fucking lame and limited I guess...I remember asking ppl as a kid how much money they made and my mom and step dad always scolded me for asking...I didn’t understand what the big deal was then or now really...ppl are so weird about bucking up that info...
Ryan McMahon is here this weekend – WOOHOO - ....will be nice to see him – this will be the 1s time as a dad! Ohh I wonder if Cathleen will come too and bring the baby??? Hmmmmmmmmm I better ask although I am sure she won’t I can dream.
Got a letter and goodies from my Aunt Isobel yesterday...she is the sister of my supposed biological father...I send her pictures of Ayla every year and write a few times a year to keep in touch...she sent Ayla a belated 16th b’day card with 50 bucks in it so that was more than generous considering we have never met before. The letter was full of bad news sadly...lots of death in the Chalmers family in the last few years...a few of my aunts and uncles I never met passed away along with my grandfather I never met...etc...I don’t know any of these ppl so it isn’t particularly emotional at all for me but I do feel a sense of loss in the fact that it’s just adding on to the pile of stuff I will never ever know about that side of the family. When my grandparents died I immediately had 384758937589374 questions for them and knowing that they were gone and never would be able to answer them really impacted me...it was all lost. It is like that when anyone dies, they take a lot of personal insight and info with them and as a person who is a gatherer of sorts I find this most disturbing.
Shawn is off to Cranbrook...exploring a VERY important job opportunity that would take him there for a year or 2 if he decides to do it...while I am happy 4 him I am also mortified...selfishly so. ::pout::
I want lunch...LUNCH!!! I have been wanting lunch for a gawd damn hour already......

Squidlet is 1!!
I am learning a lot about myself. It is rather interesting finding out that you are not much of a coddler type...or all that accepting and unconditional as a human or near as needy as I thought hahahahhaaaaaaaa It has been really weird...I am still adjusting to sharing my house...and life really...I find it particularly interesting that I have such inner conflict with it – it is truly shocking to me...I apparently don’t like to share just like when I was 4. I am sitting back and seeing how it all works itself out b/c if there is one thing I have learned in my life it is DONT PANIC hahahaha My mood changes minute by minute on a good day so....you know. Still trying to figure out what the dynamic of the house is now...
G is settling in although I am sure he is bored out of his gourd for the most part as I won’t let him make a mess (HAAAAAA)...he is now allowed to do dishes and is a fabulous garbage taker outer. Oh the DIGNITY! HahaHa
My little Ayla grrl seems ok but....I do worry...this living arrangement change is a big one and I can’t help feel that she is very uncomfortable in her own house and this troubles me. Not the best time in a kids life to have to work on that sort of thing when so much other stuff is going on – this I know...at the same time it is what it is. She’s not much of a talker so...it’ll be interesting trying to get a peep out of her that isn’t an end of the rope verbal assault. I am having a huge amount of inner conflict over all of this too...just to make the whole thing even more FUN you know!
Walked with Donna & Andrea last night...felt super good...going to make a point of keeping that up at least 3-4x a week even solo...it is a good time for me to listen to music and reflect. Donna booked her tickets to Australia and Fiji for November...WOOHOO!! 20+ days of vacationing in the sun and fun! DONNA DO NOT GET EATEN BY A SCORPION FOR GAWDS SAKE!
Seeing Connie again was fab (I can’t even recall if I have posted about this or not) – she should be back home now preparing for Cara’s 2nd birthday that’s coming up this week...YAY CARA!! You are nearly 2 and haven’t fallen to your death yet...that kid is a friggin MONKEY! I need to email Connie and get the low down about her trip and how the girls fared without her for 5 days!
Another monkey turns 1 today....My favourite little boy kid Squidlet! Sadly he is sick as all get out for his birthday so no party for him. He apparently took notes from Ayla who was always sick on her damn birthday and messing up celebratory plans!
I have a peanut butter sandwich for lunch....fug. And oranges. Remind me never to have baked beans for dinner when you live with someone. Thank you.

cool scar
OK I admit it...I enjoyed the Zombie board game...and I also enjoyed playing Settlers of Catan.
I do usually like board games though – it is generally a mood thing, sometimes I just don’t feel like it as it is rather social and all – I hate the game CRANIUM. I hate any game that tells me I have to do charades or anything like that...NO EFFING WAY will I partake!
Went and saw my broken up friend Adrienne on Saturday....ohhh mannnnnn I was starting to get all misty looking at her all broken legged and crippled... :o( I will say the pictures of her incisions are AWESOME....she got some killer scars on the go from the surgery...she got plate and pins and screws galore put in there to fix her shattered leg – she kinda bionic now!...and she is 100% unable to bare weight on it at all for at least 6 weeks...I am not sure wtf I would do in her shoes as a single person...she is completely unable to do much 4 herself...if Tracey wasn’t there and not working right now I am not sure wtf a person would do! Anyway she is being taken care of very well and I hope I get called to babysit so Tracey can go out and do stuff if needed...it amuses me to say I was babysitting Adrienne for some reason lol

guessing game
can you guess which one of my friends just emailed me this:
"They tell me I have a degenrating disc in my spine. I've apparently worn it right out. It's the one that flexes during intercourse apparently?"
????????????

Friday April 9 2010
Good morning my pretties...
Clash of the Titans was okay...the story is awesome of course but the movie itself is mediocre. The 3D is crappy so I would recommend seeing it in 2D only.
I am drinking tea...listening to my ghey soap opera...wishing I was asleep...but no I couldn't go back to sleep b/c I need an arm transplant...that's right. My arms hurt like a mofo every morning b/c I can't seem to find a comfy way to sleep so I don't wake up with them asleep and dead...been about 6 mths. Ugh.
Cohabitation is going well...no bloodshed...no flying daggers...no death threats...still getting used to the new dynamic....as u know I am accustomed to spending large amounts of time alone after all and this is a rather HUGE change. lol Ayla is alright...must be weirdest for her I think...seeing as being 16 is weird as it is never mind when a big home life shift such as this is going on. So far she is being a very good sport. She did her food safe course on Tuesday and did not die....but found it boring as all get out but is glad it is over with.
Connie & Jay are in town today...theyre here from Alberta for a family wedding and TODAY is my allotted day with her! WOOHOO! We will hang out today and then do dinner @ the Japanese Village tonight...with Ayla in tow even! WOW!
You know a place has good food if Ayla agrees to come along hahaha

must...stay...awake...
Steady as she goes...this afternoon...she isn’t hurrying herself along at all sadly. I can survive 3.5 hours of damn near anything though.
I find it rather unamusing that at 39 years old I still have no idea what my place in the world is. I don’t necessarily believe any of us have a”place” really but...I still feel like im the wandering stupid...you know, not quite sure where you fit...not quite sure what path to take...meanwhile as I ponder this crap time if flying by me....zip zip zip...too busy surviving to focus on something of real value. That is not some oh woe is me line either. We all have coping skill levels, I always thought I was a fucking superstar with coping until I analyzed the crap out of myself one day and took a real look at what behaviours i adopted in order to cope with life in general...and I went “Ooooooo I am not such a great coper after all!” Some ppl drink, drug, fuck, eat, sabotage, cling, manipulate, deny, ignore, break down completely whilst getting through shit...such a plethora of shitty coping skills out there for us all to choose from. So yeah I may not be an alcoholic...or a heroin junkie but I am certainly not the poster child for positive coping skills. I wish I had a little bit of that denial disease...I wish I could ignore the shit around me and pretend it isn’t an issue and go on my merry way...la deed a...without a thought of the real issues at hand that I cant fucking solve any way or the what if’s I am plagued with...
I would kill 3 kittens of cuteness & a little old lady in a wheelchair right now for a nap. Just curl up in my bed with my pillow and drift away...to the land of comatose brain meanderings & puffy white clouds of hope and goodness. Sigh...gawd sleeping is so good....
I have had this asian woman calling me at work for the last month and a half...she speaks very poor English but you can tell she is a nice person b/c she manages to laugh at herself...and she says me name in a such a way it warms my heart...
Jen- EE – fer
I am familiar with how she says my name b/c she calls me A LOT. She has told her all about coming over from china as a girl and how she would like to take me out 4 lunch if she is ever in town b/c ive been so nice it her...I can think of nothing more agonizing but lunch with this woman...not b/c she isn’t nice or whatever, she is...but the language barrier is so severe...ug...plus i bet she’s really old and smells of moth balls.
I am doing the head bob....must go run around!

boring a-hole
neurotic [njʊˈrÉ’tɪk] a person who is afflicted with a neurosis or who tends to be emotionally unstable or unusually anxious Yeah I am – let’s leave it at that.
I have a head cold, a neck crink & im on the rag...I guess u can’t expect much outta me this week. I am just a robot – getting through the days....with bad hair to boot! GAWD LIFE IS SOOOO HARD!!!!!! {I say this as I roll my eyes at myself}
Connie is in town Friday...we have reservations at the Japanese Village for dinner...always a good meal...I am hoping Ayla will join us 4 dinner but I am not sure. Not sure what the rest of the night will entail, a lot of boisterous chatter I am sure and the men sitting back shaking their heads wishing they were playing Wii.

save me a spot in the line up to hell
I am sure I am going to hell for this but whatevah. READ HERE
If you are 86 and some MALE calls you claiming to be your grandkid and says he needs 10K b/c he is in jail or whatever and you assume its your grandkid (who never calls) simply b/c he is "soft spoken"...and you take 10K off your VISA and send it to him: YOU ARE AN IDIOT and you should have to pay it all back. Stupidity is not a get outta jail free card lady. You made a very costly mistake...you are embraassed and feel stupid - as you should - it was stupid. But refusing to pay? Are u fucking kidding me? Why b/c you are dumb and made a stupid choice? Gimme a break. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Can anyone imagine sending money of that amount to someone without probing the shit out of the person and verifying it all to be true, grandkid or not? (I am not defending bank greed either, we all know banks are dirty effers)
I am about to get raked over the coals on the CBC comment section over this one and I do not even care...that old lady should have to pay it back - shes lucky they waived the interest 4 her...if the bank caves and forgives it they are fucking retarded and setting themselves up for all sorts of new fraud.
I spent 5 yrs working at Money Mart...refusing to send old ppls money to Nigeria even while they had hissy fits in the the lobby saying they knew the person personally and it was for a charity, LIEING through their teeth and blah blah blah...old ppl are NOT immune to common sense...this shit is just stupid.
Someone raised a good point...if a 30 yr old got duped and did this people wouldnt feel near as bad for the person and likely wouldnt expect it be forgiven...HELLO AGEISM!!!! If it is expected old ppl cant deal with their $ properly or make sound logical decision then why do we expect that they can vote? Drive? Have a say in anything? You cant have it both ways...

Never Give an Inch is a phrase coined in Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey.
Grab his hand and never let go...never give an inch.....cuz the bastards will try to rip you apart, rip out your heart...don't let 'em...never give an inch!

cohabitation advice part 2
MAUREEN: Jeez, I'm divorced and have never tried the living together thing again....ah what the hell, we did live together for sixteen years. Don't let the little things drive you insane - toothpaste in the sink, wrappers on the counter, a coffee cup on the table....those are the things that will drive you nuts. Oh, and if he runs around on you, cut his balls off the first time ;)
AUNTY PAM: always remember that he’s not the perfect man for you, there is no such thing as a perfect man...well you know how I feel about jim some days but for days of endurance you end up with the very best friend you could imagine...keep a small piece of yourself just for you though, that’s important!
TOM: Don't worry about the small things, in the long run they are irrelevant, focus more on the person, the time at hand.
Enjoy each others grossness, it's funner that way!
AUNTY CATHY: I don't really have any...but what I do know...is start as you mean to go on...I mean, just let it all hang out...and be yourself..people treat you how you teach them to treat you...you're screwed up,( I mean we all are, right?) he's probably screwed up so it will either be a grand passion or go down in a blaze of glory...ahahaha
but you already know all that and more...I think he will pass the biggest test the moment he steps off the train....if he doesn't laugh or run screaming in the other direction because of your red (from wiping your nose so much) nose and your alleged "bad hair", I'd say he's a keeper...
KELLY M: don't get worked up about little things, and there will be lots of little things. Save arguments for things that are worth arguing about and....oh yes...lots of blow jobs...ok maybe the last part is wishful thinking
TARA:
1) No one is perfect for you. They WILL do things that piss you off. There are really only two options - deal with it, or lose them.
2) I have to try to NOT say all the scathing, sarcastic things that pop into my head. For example "Why the fuck would you think that was a good idea" or "Do you even know me?"
3) I don't think going to bed mad is always a bad idea. You'll find in the night that you end up wrapped around each other and wake up in the morning to remember why you're with this person and feeling warm and safe.
4) While (when you get to this point in your relationship) farting in front of your loved one is both funny and humanizing, pooing while they're in the room is just crossing the line.

I love a monday where I dont have to work. Love it.Graeme arrived w/o incident Saturday...Hot Donna was kind enough to provide taxi service so it was a relatively pain free experience getting his stuff here...then a half hour later (he is such a good sport!) we went to Lucky 4 drinks and music...
The band CENTAURS of THE UNIVERSE were costumed appropriately and were a real hoot! They didnt suck either which is shocking considering how ridiculously funny they were to watch...
Start With the Cobra kicked me ass AGAIN...fucking loved that show...then G and me wandered downtown to hop a bus home...me drunk - him not.Once home he was stuck listening to my drunken babble...keep in mind he is wasted tired and I am Mz Chatty FuckFace - even after bashing my head on the wall getting into bed (clearly my spacial perception was affected by the $4.00 beers) I wouldnt shut up or stop laughing about some unfunny shit...I eventually felt sorry 4 him and got up so he could sleep b/c I obviously was not ready 4 bed....so I got up and ate some crispers (ugh) and downloaded the pics from the night and drunk facebooked...haaaaaaa. gawd.
Needless to say in the AM I was feeling wretched...I was already sick with a cold and in midst of hideous period horror and then added hangover to the mix....yeah yesterday I was a walking piece of shit headache. What a catch! lol
Today - however - I am a little better I think...I took a neo-citron b4 bed so I was a corpse until 530 am which was nice...then around 6 am we both woke up to the sound of the cat throwing up only we couldn't FIND it....I will likely step on it later. My carpets are all the color of cat vomit so....you know...camouflage.
We didn't do much yesterday...we walked to pick up a few groceries....that was the extent of my adventures...work tomorrow....ugh........................

CO-HABITATION ADVICE
such good friends and family....hahaha (I will add more as they come in...)
Aunty Pam:
always remember that he’s not the perfect man for you, there is no such thing as a perfect man
well you know how I feel about jim some days but for days of endurance you end up with the very best friend you could imagine
keep a small piece of yourself just for you though, that’s important!
Jerri and Zed:
Zed says " at least one of you, must have virtually no personal possessions".
Jerri says " good luck with that"
Maggie & her husband David:
Maggie- Buy a brightly colored eye catching laundry basket.
Be prepared to consistently find empty toilet paper rolls on the dispenser and a partly used roll on the counter.
Make him carry your laundry up and down the stairs, but do not let him do the laundry. You will regret it.
Accept that while you’re enjoying a nice relaxing shower, he will decide he desperately needs to take a shit. And while doing so, he will start a new roll of toilet paper and leave it on the counter.
Provide detailed lists for anything and everything. Otherwise he’ll use it as an excuse.
Pick your battles. Compromise.
If you don’t want to keep putting his shit away but it’s driving you crazy that he always leaves stuff everywhere and no amount of nagging will convince him to put things where they belong, buy baskets. You can put his stuff in there (and yours and Ayla’s etc) and he’ll be able to find it. (As you can see, we are a basket using household – I’d start throwing his shit outside otherwise).
Spend time together. Doing something, not just co-existing.
Remain individuals – have your own hobbies and activities.
David's Advice for Graeme-
It’s better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
When you use up all the TP make sure to leave a roll on the counter. When she rants, tell her it’s better than having none.
Denis:
patience - guys seem to tune you out when they're doing something else. It's not rudeness, it's how we're wired. We don't multitask.
Smart Ass Shawn:
take BC up on it's bud, it'll help you chill the f' out! :P
Aunty Leslie:
Don't let the small stuff get to you. Ignore the toilet seat, and toothpaste mess in the sink, only take issues with the important things. Once you let the small stuff niggle at you, it builds and builds until "everything" annoys you.
Guy & his wife Donna:
Guy - Never give an inch.
Donna - Never give an inch.
Rich in the UK:
1. Remember to 'trim' - always
2. At least one blow job a week makes a man feel loved
3. Compromise. Seriously, never stop talking through your issues. Once the talking stops, it's over.
4. NEVER go to bed on an arguement - see 3.
5. Read to each other. Cheesy, but sweet.
Connie:
Hmmm....well, from my VAST experience...:
-ALWAYS WAIT to talk about things that are pissing you off until you are calm and he is in a receptive mood.
-it may seem like kissing ass, but when you want them to change their behaviour, (if your goal is to get them to change their behaviour and not apologize and grovel for their unthinking ways), be very careful how you word things, i.e. "thanks so much for doing the dishes, it really helped me out...and since I've been so busy lately, could you please try to remember to pick up your laundry too?" I know it goes against your basic instincts, Jen, but seriously, you are looking for results, not a change in personality.
-sex works as a bribe or a reward
-spend time apart
-focus on the good things he does, and let him know, even if he neglects to return the favor
-don't expect too much
Adele:
Never lose who you really are. Just be your quirky emotional lovable self and when it feels like things are getting uncomfortable, think of it all as an experience that you can grow and learn from.
Barb of Awesometown:
You are asking the wrong person, Jen. The only reason I am not in prison is because I can't find the bullets.
But, as a wannabe minimalist living with a hoarder, I will say this: try to make a little space that belongs only to you. It doesn't have to be very big, just big enough to escape to when you need it.
ONLY 96!
I am really howling over the replies I am getting via email regarding me asking paired up ppl for advice on the longevity of cohabitating....I will post some more once I get a few more back...SO FUNNY!
Lunch and Wal-Mart shopping with Dan and Donna today was an enriching experience....not enriching of the wallet but that's to be expected. I have 96+ rolls of TP in the house now...life is good!
Poor Adrienne busted her LEG this morning! Quite badly...jumping over a fence (don't ask) - she basically shattered it and needs surgery - JESUS. So I am making her a card of some sort today....poor effer...how miserable!
Got a new shower curtain today....seemed like the right thing to do when yer gunna share a bathroom with someone is make sure u start out with a nice shower curtain...and lotsa toilet paper. Clean sheets too...lol
It is so miserable out today I think I am just gunna stay in and be warm and tinker...make a fun card for my crippled friend and just be merry...

Friday Of Goodness
The new era in my life is not starting out the way I was planning....I am sick and have a bad haircut...
Rude. Better than being a leper though so...you know.
It is SUPER windy today...wind warning galore.
Laundry is on the go...
may possibly go see a movie this afternoon...if I feel like venturing out in the crazy wind...good excuse to have crappy hair anyway!
Ohhh little Miss Madelyn...I got her those 1st ears years ago.....as a toddler she was NOT in love with them...as u can see...she has since become a good sport about bunny ears. What's it say about me that the picture of her freaking out wearing the ears is one of my favorites of all time?? Heh.
I need a nap already. Fugggg.
