It's Hockey Time – GO LEAFS!

Not much has been going on, work has been busy. Yesterday, D did come by when I was covering reception but he just went straight through the doors instead of coming around. I didn’t think he would stop and talk to me. I was happy though he did came by and didn’t sneak out the back way.

I was talking to a co-worker at my desk this afternoon and she waved at someone who walked by our group. I said “Who was that?” She said “It was D!” She said “He looked right in and waved. He was probably looking for you.” I didn’t see him becos I wasn’t turned all the way, I was just kind of 1/2 way. He waved so I think he might of been trying to get my attention. I swear every time he sees me someone is talking to me! I was surprised he walked by. He hasn’t done that in a long time!

V came up to me and said that he and D went out for lunch today at the same restaurant where my friend/co-worker and I always go. I didn’t know D liked that place! Now if only we can manage to go the same day! LOL!

You know I wish D was different. I am getting pissed off at him becos he never comes around to talk to me. There is no excuse! He knows I am there all by myself in my group at the end of the day. He could easily come up and talk to me and say “Hey how is it going?” But he doesn’t. I’m tired of his little waves and his cute little nod’s and taking chances that I may pass by him in the halls. Come up to me and say something “Dammit!” He hasn’t said one work about my cousins Hockey theme. He didn’t even reply to my email. WTF do I have to do?

I saw on the calender that he has booked Friday off as a vacation day. I was really surprised when I saw it. I thought he had taken alot of time off recently why would he want to take Friday off? Plus we are having a long weekend coming up in two weeks why would he need this Friday off? It pissed me off! So now my mind is racing and I am thinking he may have a girlfriend probably in Kingston. Maybe that is why he has been so quiet lately. I’m going to try to ask V tomorrow to get it out of D where he is going and why. D is just really pissing me off lately. I can’t believe he hasn’t even said anything about my cousins HNIC anthem.

Well, it’s late and I am off to bed. I hope everyone is having a good week!

This week sure has gone by fast! We have been study busy the past couple of days and that’s just the way I like it.

As many of you probably already know CBC is currently running their contest to find a new Hockey Night In Canada anthem. My cousins in Ottawa and their band called The Riptides have submitted their own tune and after spending lots of time listening to some of the other tunes I am pleased to say I think it is very good! I really like it! I think it is very catchy and has alot of punch to it.

I have joined their group on Facebook and they sent me an email the other day telling me this…

“With your support, you have managed to push my song “Get in the Rink” to one of the top-rated songs in the entire contest!” There has been 15,000 songs entered so this is very exciting! Voting starts October 4th and the winner will be revealed on Opening night Saturday, October 11th!

I have sent it around the office and I got an email yesterday from a co-worker saying that his son is good friends with my cousin and their band and my cousins band play together all the time! How cool is that?

Another co-worker who is in the same group as me came over to me after reading the email, saw the names of my cousins told me that her maiden was the same as mine! We could actually be related! I am calling my uncle sometime this weekend becos he has been working on our family tree and I am going to see if might be related. I don’t think we are but you never know!

I have had a few co-workers come up to me telling me they really like my cousins song! Of course D hasn’t said a word. I can’t believe he hasn’t come up to me and said anything about it. If he doesn’t say anything to me next week I am going to say “So are you going to vote for my cousins song?” “Yes” he will say and I will say “If they win you can take me out for lunch and if they don’t win you can take me out to lunch too!” LOL! I can’t wait to see wait his reaction will be to that one! LOL!

I should tell you that my cousin is really my 2nd cousin and I haven’t even met him yet. His father is my late father’s cousin. So I guess that makes us 2nd cousins? I am sure we will meet some day perhaps at a family reunion. I haven’t told anybody at work, they don’t need to know details right? LOL! They are family!

Here is the link. Please take the time to listen and vote for it and pass it on to friends and family. It would be so awesome if my cousins win! Let me know what you think of it. Many thanks!

Get In The Rink

I woke up with a soar back this morning and feeling achy and soar all over. I haven’t felt well all day. My back was killing me all day and it was very painful when I would get up. This morning I went to warm up my tea in the kitchen and D was in there! I was surprised to see him becos I new he had an of site meeting. I didn’t think he would be back so early. He saw me and he seemed glad to see me. There was no one else in the kitchen and finally we were alone! He was watching me come in (he didn’t take his eyes off me) and he said “You seem to be limping.” I had my hand on my back so he could tell I was in pain but not sure where I was hurting. I said “No, my back is soar. My whole body is soar, I have to get up and walk around. When you get to be my age…” He said I know what you mean. I asked him what was new and he said he was at a meeting downtown which of course I already knew. I asked him how it went and he said it went really well and that he had a lot of work to do now.

Somebody came in and he left. She was giving me heck becos I had the perfect opportunity to ask him to lunch and I didn’t. To be honest with you since I didn’t feel well and I didn’t want to go today anyway. I know he would of said he was too busy becos I know he has another meeting downtown tomorrow morning.

I was just thrilled that he actually noticed I wasn’t feeling well and he saw that I was in pain and he said something about it! I’m surprised he said something about it. He really made my day, especially since it’s been so long since we have talked! I should of said to him. Do you want to give me a body rub? LOL! That would sure make me feel better! LOL! I thought it was so nice of him to say something, he sounded really concern. Let’s see if he asks me how I feel tomorrow.

I went to weight watchers tonight and I was right! I gained point 8 lbs! I now weigh 139.6 and I had to pay $17.00! I knew I had gained. I told the lady I wasn’t happy and I complained about the 2 lbs not being enough. I told her how stressed out I was about it. She said she understands how I feel and she says alot of people feel the same way. I doubt they will do anything about it. so now I have to work hard and lose that point 6 by next month.

I told the lady I will weigh in next week to see if I lost anything but if I gain next month and have to pay I won’t be coming anymore. I’m not going to pay, no way! I want to lose another 10 – 15 lbs. I’m going to try and do more crunchies and see if that will help. I can’t eat any less than I already do.

I’m off to bed. I need sleep and hopefully I will feel better in the morning. I hope everyone is having a good week!

This week is going by fast! It’s Hump Day tomorrow already! Work is going well, we have been pretty busy which is a good thing.

When I was covering lunch reception yesterday D did come by on his way out for lunch but I was talking to a co-working who was asking me about J. I thought was really nice of her to ask. I saw him look right at me but it didn’t look like he would of stopped to talk to me anyway. I really don’t know what his problem is. He is so distant to me ever since I went on vacation. All I get is a “Hi” like today when I saw him. I feel like emailing him saying “All I get is a Hi? What’s wrong you have been so quiet lately.” But I don’t think he would answer me. I would get some weird reply like just “Nothing.” and that’s it.

V comes by every day to talk to me and he asks how J is all the time. Today he came around and he wanted to try my Chi tea I have, he came by earlier and asked if I had any tylenol. Why can’t D be like that?

I mentioned to V again how quiet D has been lately and he agreed. I also mentioned it to A the young guy. I said It has been ever since he came back from his holidays and he agreed. He didn’t think it was since he came back from his holidays but it definately is from a certain date. I sure would like to know what is wrong with him. It is almost like his girlfriend broke up with him. I have noticed him being like this before and thinking the same thing.

I won’t see much of him the next couple of days becos D and A (the young guy) has off site meetings in the morning. I am wondering if he will come back to the office. I sure hope so!

It was so exciting to see the Leafs play last night! We won against Buffalo 5 – 2 and we played great! If only it counted! LOL! I am just so happy hockey is back and we play tomorrow night too!

J was working tonight and they have asked him to work tomorrow night as well as they are short. The kids have gone back to school and now they are finding themselves short. He also works on Thursday as well. He is happy becos he is making extra money!

I have to go to weight watchers tomorrow night as I haven’t weighed in at all this month. I have been too scared to go becos when I weighed myself last time I was point 2 away of going over. If I go over I will have to pay. I have eaten really well the past couple of weeks so I should lose but with my luck I will probably gain. I don’t think I have lost. I feel like I have gained. I think I have gained not point 2 more like 2 lbs and I am freakin’ out! But I will go and weigh myself and hope for the best. Please wish me luck! So how is your week going?

It was another quiet weekend. Yesterday we went to the mall and we treated ourselves to Mr. Sub for lunch. Since we go almost every Saturday there for lunch, they always give J two free chocolate chip cookies! How nice is that?

I got a Telus card becos I had to top up my minutes on my cell phone plus I got a few extra pictures done of the wedding.

Later on I drove J to work and I went to Rogers to get a movie. I rented Then She Found Me with Helen Hunt and Bett Midler. I enjoyed it, it was pretty good! It has been awhile since I rented a movie.

I cleaned most of the afternoon. I tidied up the house, I did two loads of laundry and I cleaned J’s washroom. J cut the grass at the back.

The weather has been here all weekend. It would of been a great day for a BBQ but Mom went to her friends mothers 100th birthday party. I cooked salmon with rice, brocoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce. Everything was delicious! I enjoyed watching the Emmy’s tonight, it’s always very entertaining!

I’m so excited becos tomorrow pre-season hockey is starting! It’s finally here! Yay! Toronto Maple Leafs play Buffalo. It sure will be interesting to see how we play with no Matts Sundin. I’m anxious to hear what they have to say about him.

Tomorrow is another Monday. I am covering lunch reception and I wonder if D will come by or maybe he will sneak out the back like last Monday. It would be so nice if he would just stop and talk to me for a change. I hope everyone had a good weekend!

I’m so glad it’s Friday! It has been a long and tiring week! We weren’t too busy today so I am all caught up on everything.

Yesterday my friend/co-worker and I and a couple of other co-workers went to Monfort for lunch. It was fun and it was so nice to get out of the office. I didn’t take my lunch today so I could leave a 1/2 hour early.

D is still really quiet. I was at the photocopier this afternoon scanning and he walked by with his lunch. He said quietly “Hi” as he walked by. I know he is busy he had a big meeting this afternoon in the boardroom.

One of our salesman was in the office this afternoon and I went in the kitchen to get my lunch. V was in there and we were talking about losing weight. The salesman complimented me and was saying how skinny I looked and then he looked and me and said out of the blue “Has he ever…?” I just shook my head. The salesman just shook his head in disbelief. You should of seen the look on V’s face! His ears perked up and his eyes became like saucers! He knew exactly what we were talking about. The salesman left and I said to V “What is D’s problem anyway?” and he said queitly “I don’t know.”

This is the salesman that had a talk with D last summer about me and D said “I’m not interested.” Then the Christmas party came and we had a great time dancing for 2 hours and getting drunk! Then V asked him about me and he didn’t say anything. D didn’t say “I’m not interested.” this time. So that is why I think there is a little bit of hope still.

Anyway, it kind of made my day that the salesman even brought it up. It is like he is surprised that he hasn’t asked me even though D said he wasn’t interested. Why would the salesman say that? Anyway, I don’t like the way D has been lately toward me. We will see how he is on Monday when I cover reception. Last Monday he never came by. I was so looking forward to seeing him but he must of snuck out the back door. He is just acting kind of strange if you ask me. He left early today too. I think he left pretty well after the meeting. I think he probably went to Kingston sailing becos it is going to be such a nice warm weekend here. And there aren’t too many sailing weekends left.

J is out at the Toronto Blue Jay game tonight with his friends and will be home shortly. The Jays lost against Boston tonight 4 – 3. I have been checking out the guys on Lava Life. I got 3 smiles and there is one guy I like but I am too afraid to send him a smile back. We will see how i feel tomorrow night. I am rather tired tonight.

We have the usual errands to do tomorrow afternoon. We will go to the mall and treat ourselves to Mr. Sub. I need to top up my minutes on my cell phone so I will get a card. I love my cell phone! J works tomorrow night and I will be checking out Lava life again and Sunday is the usual cleaning day.

It will be a nice and quiet weekend for me but that is how I like them to be sometimes. I’m looking forward to sleeping in for 2 days. Oh, how I love the weekends! Hope you have a good weekend too!

You will never guess what one of my co-workers did for me on Monday? She signed me up on Lava Life without me even knowing! She knew my email address cos I have her on my msn and Facebook. Iknew she was up to something but I wasn’t quite sure what. She called me over to her computer to show me but I had no idea it was Lava Life or that she was even filling it in but she did.

When I got home there was an email saying Welcome to Lava life! I immediately messaged her on MSN and I said “You little sneak!” She said “Why?” I told her and she thought that it didn’t go through. Well, it did and now I have a free 7 day trial. So the past two night I have been on Lava Life looking at guys profiles.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about this. I would never sign up myself. I don’t trust these websites but I did find a couple of guys I like on here. I haven’t contacted them and probably won’t. I am waiting to see if they contact me. If I like them, then I will talk to them. I have put up my picture, it’s the same one that is on my facebook profile. This could be very ineteresting! We shall see what happens.

Yesterday when I came in to work, the first person I see coming down the hall is D. I get such a nice soft Hi Pam from him. I love the way he says Hi Pam to me! I love his voice! Today I almost bumped into him and he seemed surprised and happy to see me and I got a nice big “Hey!” He doesn’t say it like that to anybody else! If he is so happy to see me why the heck he doesn’t come around to talk to me? This really pisses me off! Then don’t bother even saying Hi to me is almost what I feel like saying to him.

D left early today. I heard him on the phone, I think he was on his cell phone becos our phone wasn’t light up. He was probably going sailing or something. He has been very quiet every since he got back form his holiday. V has even said he has been quiet with him. I sure wish he would talk to me. The more I think about it, the more I don’t really like the way he is so why am I bothering? I have been giving him the Whatever type of attitude lately.

It’s late and I am very tired. My body has been so soar lately (especially my legs) and I haven’t been feeling very well the past couple of days. I’m not sure if it’s from my fibromyalgia or arthritis. I hate feeling so tired and so soar all the time. So how is your week going?

It has been a nice weekend. Yesterday J and I went to the mall and I took my pictures in. I asked them if I could have them done in an hour but they were really busy so the girl behind the counter said it would be 2 hours. We weren’t going to be there that long so I didn’t pick them up.

I treated my self to Mr. Sub and J had a poutine at New York Fries. I paid a couple of bills and then we went home. J worked last night and I spent some time on the computer.

I enjoyed sleeping in yesterday and this morning! This afternoon I did two loads of laundry and tidied up the house and had a nice long shower. We went to Mom’s for dinner and she cooked a pot roast. It was very good!

It has been raining here mostly all weekend. This morning it was nice and sunny and it looked like it was going to be a nice day but then it clouded over. We are having strong winds right now and it is still raining. I think it’s suppose to rain all day tomorrow too. I keep thinking about all those poor people that were affected by Hurricane Ike. How awful it must be to go through something like that.

It’s late and I’m off to bed. Tomorrow is another Monday. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I’m so glad it’s finally Friday and the weekend is here! We weren’t too busy today, we didn’t get a lot of mail in so we were able to get a lot done. Boss man wasn’t in today and neither was D! I was surprised he wasn’t in after being off for almost 2 1/2 weeks. I assume he went to Kingston to his sisters and sailing but it is suppose to rain all weekend so I don’t know why he would go there. I think that is why he finally came by yesterday to say Goodnight becos he knew he wouldn’t see me today. You think he would just stay home and relax after being away. I’m pretty sure I will see him on Monday as I have to cover lunch reception. Hopefully he will stop and actually talk to me this time.

It was one of my co-workers birthday last Sunday but she has been off all week so she will bring in her treats on Monday. She absolutely loves candy and as a present a co-worker made a cake out of cardboard and bought tons of candy from the dollar store and we covered the cake in candy! Lollopops, gum balls, chocolate bars, candy necklaces and jelly beans etc. I bought dollies and we put the dollies underneath the cake to cover the big cardboard box it was sitting on. I also bought party hats and put one on top and wrote Happy Birthday in different colour markers. We also tide ribbon all around it which said Happy Birthday on it. We had left over ribbon so I draped it around her monitor. I put it on her desk by her computer so she will see it as soon as she walks in Monday morning. I took a picture of it from my cell phone. It’s not a special birthday or anything but she is always doing something for other co-workers on their birthdays such as my 50th and we wanted to do something for her. I sure hope she likes it!

We aren’t doing too much this weekend. We will go to the mall tomorrow. I want to take my pictures in of the wedding and my aunt’s party and get them developed. We will treat ourselves to our usual Mr. Sub for lunch.

J is working tomorrow night, I am not sure what I will do. Sunday is the usual cleaning day and since it is going to rain we are going to my mothers for dinner. I have been thinking about the poor people in Texas that have to evacuate becos of the hurricane. How aweful it must be for them! I really hope it isn’t as bad as they expect it is going to be.

It’s late and I am off to bed. It’s going to be so nice sleeping in for two days! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

So I am emailing my friend/co-worker late in the afternoon about D. I hadn’t seen him all day again and I was getting really pissed off. I was emailing her saying “I don’t understand why he wouldn’t even walk by to get his print out or walk by and wave. I said after not seeing me for almost a month you would think he would.” I told her how pissed off I was getting at him. She said the reason why he doesn’t come by to talk or say goodnight is becos he knows I want more and so he stays away. I know he knows but I don’t think that is the reason why he doesn’t come by.

A little while later she came by to say Goodnight to me (as she always does) and while we were talking guess who walks by with his print out? Yup, D!!! She said “There he is.” He didn’t look over but I knew he could hear us talking so he knew I was there. She said quietly to me “He doesn’t care.”

Anyway, she left and a few minutes later another co-worker came by to talk to me. Guess who walks by is D again! He waved and said Goodnight and kept on going! If I wasn’t talking to a co-worker I would of called him over and talked to him. I couldn’t believe it!!! It was almost as if he read my email that I sent my friend/co-worker! It was really weird and he really caught me off guard! I wonder if I wasn’t talking to my co-workers if he would of come over to me and starting talking?

Now I know he was thinking of me and looking for me and he went out of his way to come by with his print out and to say goodnight! He was probably hoping to bump into me in the hall and I haven’t all week so he finally came by. He is so shy, it probably took alot for him to do that too. I wish he would come over and talk to me, maybe he is trying to get up enough courage too. I will settle for a wave for now. I’m just so happy he finally came by and he broke the ice! I am still very grumpy but he sure made my day!!!
