It's Hockey Time – GO LEAFS!

Today was a good day to stay home and put up the Christmas tree. When I called my mother this morning she said we were suppose to get wet flurries and freezing rain later this afternoon and it would go on over night. So I decided we would stay home and put up the tree instead of going to mom’s for dinner.

I’m glad we stayed home, it is pretty nasty outside. The dirve into work tomorrow morning will be very slippery. J was a big help in decorating the tree. He did a great job as usual! I still have to put the decorations around the fireplace.

Besides putting up the tree, I did the usual two loads of laundry and some ironing. I vacuumed the main floor, dusted and tidied up the house. I cooked salmon for dinner and it was delicious!

Last night I enjoyed watching the Leafs vs Philadelphia game. We won 4 – 2! It was a good game! We will see how the Leafs do since we have Brian Burke as our General Manager now!

Tomorrow is another Monday already. I can’t wait to see if D is going to be friendly or not. This should be interesting! I hope everyone had a good weekend!

I’m so glad it’s the weekend! That mean two glorious days of sleeping in and how I do love to sleep in!

Today was a little more busier than yesterday but not too stressful and that is just the way I like it. I didn’t see D all day yesterday. Today I had to cover lunch reception. D and A (the young guy) were going out. D was going out the front doors first. He was going to a meeting and I figured he wouldn’t be back. A the young guy was talking to him but I noticed that D saw me up at the front.

Instead of going out the front door, he walked around with A (the young guy) following him to the other door. D said Hi to me and gave me that cute little nod that he does. A is behind him the whole time. D opened the door but he turned the handle the wrong way! He turned it up instead of down! He looked back at me, smiled and said “Oh, wrong way.” and he walked out the door with A. I just smiled at him and kind of laughed to myself! LOL!!! He has walked through that door a million times! LOL!!!

I believe I got him all flustered! LOL!!! It was funny! You know, if it was anybody else at reception he would of gone right through the front door. He sure made my day! I tell you, it is ever since he went out with the guy that quit and he said “I hear you have an admirer!” He has been so friendly lately! Except the only thing he still won’t do is come around and say Goodnight to me when he leaves.

Oh, and another thing!!! A co-worker (who sits across from me) told me today that when it was Mini Putt day on Wednesday apparently D came around to play our hole but I wasn’t at my desk at the time so he left. He came back again to play when I was there! How sweet is that? I didn’t know this and she forgot to tell me. She just told me late this afternoon and of course that made my day again! I’m going to be thinking about D all weekend!

Tomorrow we have our usual errands to do and we are going to the mall to start our Christmas shopping! J works tomorrow night and I am going to order pizza and watch the Leafs vs Chicago game. I hope we win this one.

Sunday will be the usual cleaning day and we may put up the Christmas tree! We will probably go to my mothers for dinner but we may just decide to stay home instead.

J called me this afternoon to tell me that there were two cop cars at my neighbors house. J said he saw a lady in a van with a clipboard as well. This is my neighbor beside me who runs the day care. She has a 13 year old son and I hope everything is alright with him. I don’t like to ask her as it is none of my business but she may tell me becos we do talk sometimes. I just hope everything is alright! I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Nothing much has been going on. We have been really busy at work the past few days, really swamped! Today we didn’t get much mail in though so we were able to get all caught up.

D has been friendly lately! Yesterday when I was at the scanner I saw him in A (the young guy’s cubicle). When he heard the scanner going he moved back and turned his head. I caught him looking at me out of the corner of my eye. This is unusual for him becos if he knows I’m at the scanner he usually moves right in A’s office. This time he actually backed up and looked right over at me but I didn’t look over at him. I was surprised though and thought it was interesting!

Today we had a mini-put day! We made up 10 holes all around the office. We used plants, pictures, recycle bins, telephone books, chairs, ramps. We used anything we could find around the office. The holes were plastic cups. It was alot of fun!

D came around to play! I didn’t think he would. Our hole was kind of hard becos we had a chair right infront of the hole. It was kind of funny watching him play. The hole was right under my co-workers desk who is away all week. D had to stand right beside me to try to get it in. I had to move my chair in closer to my desk. He was so close to me and he didn’t seem to mind it at all. Infact it almost seemed like he was getting closer unpurpose. Of course, I loved it! LOL!

One of my co-workers went to the Leafs game last night and he brought me back a program! I thought it was so sweet of him to give it to me! I was surprised becos I didn’t even ask him. I had it on my desk and D noticed it and we were talking about it for a couple of minutes before he left to play the next hole.

You know, he sure has been acting differently ever since the guy that quit a couple of weeks ago said to him “I hear you have an admirer!” I thought that was a great way of putting it rather than saying “Pam really likes you, you know. You should ask her out.” D just seems to be looking at me at a different way. I can’t explain it. Maybe he is thinking about us? We will see what happens when I mention the Christmas lunch.

Well, it’s late. I just picked up J from work. I’m tired, so what else is new. I hope everyone is having a good week!

Today was a very busy day. Being two girls short didn’t help. My co-worker who sits beside me is off on holidays this week. It is so quiet without her. My friend/co-worker is back from being off 3 days last week. She isn’t doing so well since her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. I feel so bad for her and her family. It is especially hard becos they are so close.

D has been friendly today! I went into the kitchen at lunch to zap my soup in the microwave and he was in there talking to a co-worker and A (the young guy). I heard D say that he and his brother-in-law drove to the states this weekend where his neice is and they went to a game. I believe he said football game and he was telling him all about it. I was trying to listen but I didn’t want to make it obvious. Now I know why he left so early on Friday. I was happy to find out what he did on the weekend!

About an hour later I went into the kitchen to wash my spoon and he was in there. I got a nice big “Hi Pam, how are you?” I said “I’m ok and you?” He said “Good.” I said “They just traded Steen and Colaiacovo.” J had called to tell me this as soon as he heard of the trade and another co-worker came right over to tell me the news. D didn’t know this so we talked about it for a few minutes. I said “I want to know about Sundin, that’s what I want to know.” He said “I will have to check my source.” and he kind of laughed and so did I. I said “I want to know who your source is, tell me who it is!” he was laughing as we walked down the hall.

You know I can’t get over the reaction I get from him when he sees me. Becos he is like this why doesn’t he come around to talk to me or to say Goodnight when he leaves? I could of smacked myself! We were alone in the kitchen and I should of mentioned the Christmas party and going for lunch. But I was thinking of the trade becos it just happened. Next time. Next time I willl say “It’s too bad the Christmas party is cancelled this year. We will have to have our own Christmas lunch!”

I have been fretting all day about my Ultra sound. When I got to the hospital they were just finishing up with a patient so luckily I didn’t have to wait long. The ECG took only a couple of minutes and the Ultra sound took a half an hour. It wasn’t too bad at all. I knew what it was like becos I have seen J had it done every year. I have an appt next Tuesday to find out the results and I will be holding my breath hoping for good results. I am really worried about it and stressed! So how was your Monday?

I am lovin’ being blonde again! I think my hair dresser cut my hair a little bit too short at the back though. I don’t like it when it is first cut. It will take about a couple of weeks before it will go the way I want it too. I really like the colour and I feel much better. It has really lifted my spirits!

The Leafs lost last night to Chicago in O. T. We were up 3 – 0 and we lost. It was very frustrating! I enjoyed watching the opening ceramonies as they were honouring Wendal Clark He was a great player and captain!

Today was my usual cleaning and laundry day. We went to Mom’s for dinner and my aunt was there as well. We had a very nice visit. Mom cooked roast beef, roasted potatoes, beets, and yellow and green beans. Everything was delicious!

I have my ultra sound for my heart tomorrow at 5:00 pm. so I will be leaving work early. I must admit I am very nervous about it. Not about having the ultra sound done but it’s the results I am worried about. I’m going to call my Dr.’s office tomorrow and make an appt to get the results. I’m going to go crazy until I find out the results. Wish me luck, I will be fretting about it all day!

Edit: OK, I really want to know who my reader is from Belleville, Illinois. I think this is the 3rd time I have asked who you are. You come here all the time, sometimes 3 times a day and you don’t even bother to leave a comment and introduce yourself? It says you are here from my Live Feeder (see left hand side?) You know who you are so please leave me a comment or email me and let me know. If not, you will be blocked from my site.

We were suppose to go to lunch downstairs today to celebrate with our co-worker who is expecting. Unfortunately, it was cancelled becos she wasn’t feeling well this morning. She left about 11:00 am to go to the hospital and she had the baby at 12:45 pm! Can you believe it? Talk about working until the last minute!

The baby was about month early and only weighed just over 4 lbs but Mom and baby boy are doing just fine! Her husband called just after 3:00 pm to tell us the wonderful news and we were all crowded around our accounting managers desk when she was talking on the phone with him. This is their first child so they were really excited! 4 of us ended up going downstairs for lunch anyway and it was realy nice.

I got a couple of weird looks from D today. I was talking to a co-worker in the hall this morning and he was coming up from behind us. He looked at me and kept on looking at me and it was like he was waiting to see if I was going to acknowledge him or not. I didn’t and I kept on talking to my co-worker.

I had to cover reception at lunch before we went downstairs. I was talking to our receptionist and he walked by with A (the young guy) they were on there way out to lunch. He gave me that look again and I am like “What, what do you want?” I didn’t say that but I sure felt like saying it.

I’ve noticed this look ever since he went out with the guy that quit last week. Ever since the guy said “I hear you have an admirer.” I’ wondering if that remark made him finally wake up! Or maybe he said something else to him that he didn’t tell me about. I would think A (the young guy) would of told me what he said though.

So since the Christmas party has been cancelled I have been thinking of what I could say to D. I have come up with Plan A. I’m going to say to him… “It’s too bad the Christmas party has been cancelled this year. We should go out for our own Christmas lunch! You buy yours and I buy mine.” What do you think about that one? Hopefully I will get him alone in the kitchen soon so I can say it. I have to get up enough nerve! LOL!

Tomorrow I have a couple of errands to do and I am going to the mall. J is staying home tomorrow as I’m getting my hair highlighted. I can’t wait, I’m going to be blonde again! It really needs it, I can’t stand my dark roots. I will be home just in time to drive him to work tomorrow night.

I will order pizza and watch the Leafs vs Chicago game. Sunday will be the usual cleaning day and we are going to Mom’s for dinner.

I have a big kink in my kneck and I have had it most of the day. It is really bothering me. I sure hope I don’t wake up with a migraine in the morning like I usually do on Saturdays. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

It has been a busy week so far. Yesterday morning I went to the lab and got my blood tested. I waited for over an hour. It was so packed people were waiting out in the hall. I had to fast so I was starving! I was late getting into work but I wasn’t too worried. I had to get this done. I made myself a cup of tea as soon as I got to the office and had a granola bar. I ended up getting a headache and I was so tired by the end of the day I just went home and crashed.

I went to weight watchers during my lunch today. I lost 1.2 lbs! I was so pleased becos lately I have been gaining. I still had to pay them as I was over my limit. I now weigh 140 lbs. I have 1 more pound to lose to be in my range so I don’t have to pay. I have to work really hard the next couple weeks so I don’t have to pay and be on track. My goal weight is 137 but if I’m over two pounds I have to pay. 2 lbs is very stressful which I told them so I want to lose another 10 more pounds so I don’t have to worry so much. Wish me luck!

We were down two girls today at work so we were pretty busy. My friends mother has been sick for awhile and she was admitted into the hospital last Friday. The Dr.’s ran all kinds of tests on her and it turns out she has lung cancer! They found a spot on her lung. She is a smoker which doesn’t really surprise me. I feel so bad for her. She found out last night and called in this morning telling us she will not be in the rest of the week. I don’t blame her, she is devastated. She called me at the end of the day in tears. I feel so bad for her and her family. This is my friend who’s daughter just got married the end of August. The spot on her lung is small, thank goodness and she is having surgery on Friday. Hopefully they will be able to remove it all, it would be a miracle! I will call my friend on the weekend to find out how her mother is. I’m praying for her and her family!

When I looked out this window this afternoon I couldn’t believe it was snowing! And it is still snowing! There is a blanket of snow on the ground. I sure hope we don’t have to shovel in the morning. It’s way too early for this! I want to go to Florida!

We had a company meeting this morning. As you all know times are tough becos of the economy. We were worried about lay-offs but no one is being laid off. Senior management is getting a cut in pay. I’m not sure if it effects D or not but I think it does. I’m not worried about him though, he will be just fine. I know he is well off. I am upset becos the Christmas party has been cancelled this year! Sniff, sniff! I always look forward to it every year.

I know D said he was thinking of not going this year but here is the kicker… Our receptionist told me today that D went up to her on Friday and he said “I was thinking of not going to the party but I am going to try and make it.” I couldn’t believe he said that! I was really surprised he said that becos it was the day after the night D and A (the young guy) took the guy out for drinks becos he was leaving and he said to D “I hear you have an admirer?” and D just laughed.

I am thinking that maybe he actually does like me too and he doesn’t even mind this whole thing. So I thought that I would say to him since the party has been cancelled we should go for a Christmas lunch or drinks. Should I email him or ask him? I hope I get up enough nerve too to say it! Maybe this would be a good time to say “You might as well give in becos you know we are going to go out sometime!” What should I say? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It has been a nice, quiet weekend. I got my CAA Membership for my car yesterday and I feel so much better. I have yet to program the phone number onto my cell phone. I must remember to do that tomorrow.

I enjoyed watching the game last night even though we lost to the Canucks 4 -2. It was a good game, especially in the 3rd period when we scored the 2 goals. Next time Bobbie, we will win!

It seems like I haven’t stopped all day today. J helped me put away the chairs from the patio, the lawn mower and the hose. I don’t know if I mentioned it or not but we put up the Christmas lights already. My mother and J actually put them up a couple of weeks ago when we had a warm spell. We are now ready for winter. Speaking of winter, it actually snowed a little bit this morning but it didn’t stick to the ground. It was just in time for the Santa Claus Parade in Toronto today!

I tidied up the house and did the usual two loads of laundry and cleaned the bathrooms. Mom was curling tonight so there was no dinner. I made a nice chicken dinner for me and J. After dinner I cleaned some more. I made myself a cup of tea and sat down and watched the Anne Murray special. After the show I did a bit of ironing and now I am exhausted!

Tomorrow is another Monday already. I forgot to mention on Friday I was standing in the isle next to my desk talking to a co-worker who was sitting at her desk. D walked by on his way out. He heard me talking and he looked and said Goodnight! So I yelled out Goodnight to him. Did that ever make my day! Why is it, he won’t go out of his way to come over to me to say good night to me but if he see’s me in the hall he will. I was surprised he did say Goodnight becos he was already passed me, then he yelled out Goodnight! If he does that, then why doesn’t he just come over? Anyway, he made my day and my weekend!

It’s late and I am exhausted. I’m off to bed. I hope everyone had a good weekend!

I left early from work yesterday to go to my Dr.’s appt. First my Dr. took my blood pressure which is fine and then he listened to my heart. He said “You have a very loud murmur!” I have always had a murmur becos I was born with a very small whole in my heart but it closed up by the time I was 12/13 years old. I told him I always have had a murmur and he said “No, it is very loud. I don’t remember it being so prominent!” He listened to it again and he said “It sounds like the aortic valve.” He asked me if I was experiencing shortness of breath and tightness in the chest. I said I haven’t really noticed any. He is sending me for an ultra sound and an ecg. He said “It’s a good thing you came in.” Of course now he has me freaked out and I really hope it isn’t anything too serious. It really scared me!

I told him my main concern was the muscles in my legs and my soar on my shoulder from when my skin specialist removed it becos he thinks it could be cancer but not the serious kind. He said the reason why my muscles in my legs are so soar is caused from the arthritis in my hips. The heart thing really threw me and now I’m really worried about it more than any of my other problems.

The paps mear was ok. I’m glad that’s over with! I was really nervous about it. My last physical was I believe in 2001. I know, I know, it’s been too long. The Dr. gave me a req for blood work which I have to get done Monday morning. I have to fast for it. I have to go for an ultra sound and have a mammogram done. I also have to have a bone destiny test done as he thinks I have osteoporosis and I also have to have a colonoscopy. He gave it to me in the summer and I have been putting it off. I sure will be glad when all this is over and I get good healthy results!

We had a nice lunch downstairs with the 2 co-workers that are leaving. The girl that quit took lots of pictures and she will put them on Facebook. It was so sad to see them go but I will definately keep in touch with them on Facebook and MSN. I will definately miss all her joke emails and her jokes about D. It just won’t be the same without her but I wish her well with her new job.

The young guy that quit went out with D and A (the young guy) last night. He told me that he said to D “I hear you have an admirer?” He said D just laughed and kind of chuckled and that is all that was said. LOL! He new exactly who he meant. I thought that was very good actually! No wonder I got a cute smile from D today! The young guy said “You have nothing to worry about.” and he told me to call him at home and talk to him that way becos he is so shy. I can’t call him at home, I don’t have the nerve!

J worked last night and I picked him up just in time for the game. It was a late start becos we are out west. We played against the Edmonton Oilers and The Leafs won 5 – 2! It was a great game of course I had to tease Bev about it! LOL!

I’m looking forward to watching the game tomorrow night. We play Vancouver! I will be thinking of you Bobbie! May the better team win! LOL!

Tomorrow we have a few errands to do. We have to go to the mall and I’m going to CAA to become a member finally. I am nervous with winter coming and my car is getting older. I know I will feel better having it. I used to have it years ago but it expired. I haven’t been able to afford it until now.

J workers tomorrow night and I will order pizza and enjoy the game! Sunday will be the usual cleaning day. I hope everyone has a good weekend!
