It's Hockey Time – GO LEAFS!

It’s been a busy week and I have been tired. J found out his exam marks yesterday. He got great marks! He got 35/40 in his English exam and 50/62 on his Math exam! He was so excited about his marks and very happy and so was I! He will find out his overall marks next week. He has improved both of his marks by quite a bit and I am very proud of him!

Work has been steady busy. D has been friendly! When he walks by he will look in nod and smile or wave at me. This morning he was in the kitchen making his tea when I walked in with my co-worker. I was going to make tea but I noticed there wasn’t enough water for both of us so I said “Oh, there isn’t enough water for both of us. That’s ok, I’ll wait.” and he said “What will you do?” I said “Just fill it up again.” After he got his water he went over to the tap and filled it up again and turned it on! Isn’t he sweet? He wouldn’t of done that for anyone else. He would of just left. Even my co-worker said that!

We also had a nice conversation while we were waiting for the kettle to boil, mostly about the weather and shovelling the snow. He looked so shy though and I thought he was so cute! Even my co-worker noticed how shy he was. So I sent him an email and I wrote “Thank you for boiling the water. Some how my tea taste even better.” I don’t know why I wrote that. I thought I was being you know, kind of cute. He never responded, I didn’t think he would. I wish I never sent it to him.

When he was leaving tonight, he looked and gave me a big wave. He sure made my day and my weekend again! I wish he would come over and talk to me and tell me what his plans are for the weekend and whatever. But at least I get a good night from him now!

I plan to have a nice, relaxing weekend! Tomorrow we are our usual errands to do. We will go to the mall and pick up a couple of things and treat ourselves to Mr. Sub for lunch. J is working tomorrow night and I am looking forward to ordering pizza and watching the Leafs play against Pittsburg.

Sunday will be the usual cleaning day and we will probably go to Mom’s for dinner. We will probably watch some of the Super Bowl game. I am really looking forward to sleeping in for 2 days! I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Work is going well. We got a lot of mail in today and we were really busy. It was steady busy and I was able to get everything done.

Yesterday afternoon D was in the kitchen making himself a cup of tea and I was at the photocopier, the one by the kitchen. When he walked by he said “Hi, how are you?” I said “Ok and you?” when I finished photocoping I went in the kitchen and I said “So did you see the show?” Meaning the 100th anniversary of the Canadiens on Friday night. He said he saw bits and pieces of it. We talked about the show for awhile and had a good conversation. We also talked about the Skills competition and the Allstar game. I wish I was able to watch them so I could talked to him about it like I knew what I was talking about but I couldn’t becos I didn’t see them. I only mentioned what I heard and read. I told him I recorded them and will watch them later. If only I saw them, we could of talked longer. A (the young guy) walked in and joined our conversation. It was good and it made me happy!

D was pretty quiet today but I was in the kitchen making my tea this afternoon and he came in again. Since they changed the office around he can see me walking by. He came in to get a pop and I’m sure he would of started talking to me but another co-worker was already in there was was talking to me. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow I will get a chance to talk to him.

I passed by V in the hall this morning and I said to him “I guess we aren’t going for drinks are we?” He said “We will get there some time.” He sounded confident that he was going to ask him some time. But when? Hopefully soon, this is killing me!

J had an English exam yesterday morning. He is pretty sure he did really well on it. He got his summunif mark back already and he got 87%! He is pretty happy about that and so am I! I’m just worried about his math mark. He gets his results on Thursday.

We are suppose to get about 10 cm’s of snow over night. So it’s going to be a nasty drive to work in the morning. How many more days until spring?

My friends 50th birthday party last night was a lot of fun! It is always fun getting together with my high school friends! The birthday girl was very surprised! She had no idea about the party but got a little suspicious late afternoon. Her relatives came from all over so that was really neat! There was about 30 of us altogether.

The party was held at her parents condo in the party room. It was a really nice place! It was an open bar and it was catered. There were lots of h’orderves. We had roast beef, roasted potatoes, vegetables and salade. I behaved myself and only had a couple of glasses of wine. The birthday cake was cheese cate. Everything was delicious!

The invitation said No gifts but the three of us went in together and bought her a nice plant and a bottle of wine. Other people brought her wine as well.

A couple of the birthday girl other friends sat at our table and we got to know them. It was alot of fun talking to them all night. After dinner there were a couple of speeches which was fun listening too. It wasn’t a very late night.

I didn’t do too much today. I just tidied up the house and I did a load of laundry. I did way too much last weekend so I wanted to give myself a break.

We went to Mom’s for dinner tonight. It was my sil’s birthday so we were celebrating her day. Mom cooked roast beef and we had roasted potatoes with turnip and beets. As you can see I ate very well this weekend!

I missed the Skills competition and the Allstar game but I recorded them both so I will probably watch the tomorrow night.

It’s Monday already tomorrow. The weekends are just way too short. I hope everyone had a good weekend.

It’s been a very busy couple of days at work but I must admit I do like it like that. We were one girl short today and I don’t think she will be back on Monday either.

This afternoon was kind of fun. D sent an email around to the Leafs and Habs fans telling us that tonight CBC is showing the Habs 100th anniversary special. I emailed him back and thanked him for telling me becos I didn’t know it was on. One of the girls replied back with a smart ass comment about me liking the Leafs. Of course I replied back with a better smart ass comment and everyone went crazy with it! This went on all afternoon. It was funny, I loved it!

When D was leaving he actually stopped by and asked me if I was going to watch the show! I couldn’t believe it, I was really surprised! We talked for quite awhile. It got me wondering if he was waiting for me to go over to him but I didn’t and this time he came to me! It was really good! He made my day and my weekend! Now I’m going to have sweet dreams about D!

It’s going to be a busy weekend. I am going to a party tomorrow night. One of our friends from high school is turning 50 and her husband is giving her a surprise birthday party. We are going rather early as it is a dinner party. I’m looking forward to going!

Sunday is the usual cleaning day and we are going to my mother’s for dinner Sunday night. It is my SIL’s birthday next week and my mother is having a party for her. I have to go to the mall tomorrow and get her a birthday gift.

The Leafs aren’t playing tomorrow night becos of the Skills competition. I will be missing it becos I’m going to the party. The Allstar game is on Sunday, I hope to watch some of it.

So it looks like a fun weekend for me. I hope yours is too!

Sorry, I haven’t felt much like writing here the past few days. I have been so tired and my body has been so soar from my fibromyalgia. My weekend was pretty quiet. The Leafs didn’t play on Saturday night so I rented the movie called The Note. One of the stars from my soap opera (General Hospital) was in it so I wanted to see what it was like. it was pretty good actually, I enjoyed it.

Sunday, I did way too much. J and I had to shovel the driveway. It was light snow but there was alot of it so it practially killed my back. I did three loads of laundry, changed J’s bed and tidied up the house. We didn’t go to Mom’s becos she was curling so I made salmon for dinner. It was delicous! Oh, I also washed the dishes.

I hooked up our new scanner/printer we got. I put it on the top part (corner piece) of the desk. Underneath is our flat screen monitor. When I was trying to put the plug it the top part of the desk came crashing down on the monitor. It scared the sh*t out of me and I called J in to help me lift the corner piece up. I thought the monitor was broken but thankfully it is just fine. I put the scanner/printer on the filing cabinet where it is more secure.

By the end of the night, I was exhausted and in so much pain I was practically in tears. Going up and down the stairs all day doesn’t help either. I have been so soar lately, I think the cold weather has a lot to do with it.

D has been pretty quiet lately. I had to cover reception late afternoon yesterday. He came by and I got the nicest smile and Hi from him. If only he new how much he makes my day! Today was a co-workers birthday. I was in talking to her, wishing her a happy birthday and D walked by. He stopped and came in and wished her a happy birthday. I found it kind of strange he did that when I was in there. He could of walked right on by.

D left about 12 noon or so today and never came back to the office. V and I are wondering what he was doing. There wasn’t anything on the calendar. I have a feeling he went home sick. I’m sure we will find out tomorrow what happened. Maybe he went home to watch Obama being sworn in. I don’t think so though. They were showing it in the board room at 12 noon but our group didn’t go as we were too busy today.

Well, it’s late and I’m off to bed. So how is your week going?

I’m so glad it’s Friday! It has been a long and very cold week! We haven’t been too busy at work the past couple of days so it has been nice.

D was off on Wednesday. I knew he was going to be becos I saw on his calendar he went to the boat show. I didn’t see much of him yesterday and today he was at an off site meeting for most of the day with his boss. They came back to the office mid afternoon.

Soon after he came back I went down to the washroom and when I came back there were a few of my co-workers gathered around my group waiting for me to come back. When I saw them, I was thinking to myself “What the heck is going on.” My friend co-worker said “Pam read your email.” there was an email from D that was sent around to all of us about his niece’s concert in Toronto tomorrow night and he invited everyone to attend. At the end of the email he put… “It promises to be a night to remember. All are welcome. See attached poster.”

My co-workers told me that I should go up to him and said “I will go to the concert if you take me.” I got emails from co-workers saying “Are you going to the concert?” They were really giving me a hard time about it.

Well, there was no way I would go up to him and ask him to take me. Of course I would love to go but all of his family is there.

Later on I went up to the front to talk to our receptionist about his concert. Our receptionist said “He keeps asking me if I am going.” I said “He wouldn’t ask me, would he?” And the more I thought about D asking our receptionist and her husband to go the more upset I got. Of course he asks the “higher ups” if they are going and not me.

Why wouldn’t D come up to me and ask me if I wanted to go? It would be a perfect date! There would be no way I would go on my own. I couldn’t drive there myself. I would want to go with D. But it doesn’t even have to be like a date. We could go just as friends. I just don’t understand. I know he really doesn’t want me to go.

Anyway, the more I thought about it, the more upset I got. I am thinking there must be something that D doesn’t like about me. Is is my lousy, nasel sounding voice? Is it my small boobs? Is it my personality? Maybe I am too out going for him which I am not really. So I have come to the conclusion that he really doesn’t like me.

And here I will be sitting at home tomorrow night all alone as usual. There isn’t even a hockey game on. I will be thinking of D at his concert and I’m sure I will probably have a good cry. Oh, and by the way. D sent the email with high importance. I think he is sending the email a little late, he should of sent it a week or two ago.

Tomorrow we have our usual errands to do. We have to go to the mall. J needs new shoes and he needs a haircut. I need a haircut but I can’t get an appt for another 2 weeks. We will treat ourselves to some lunch. I have to drive J to work and do pick up a few groceries.

As I said, there isn’t even a hockey game on tomorrow night. I guess I will rent a movie and like I said. I’m sure I will probably have a good cry.

I must of woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I woke up feeling kind of cranky and when I got to work and found out that we were not one but two girls short today it really pissed me off! The girl that sits beside me was off yesterday and today and the one that calls in sick all the time called in sick today.

Here is me who never calls in sick. There are a lot of days when I feel lousy. I don’t even want to get out of bed but I drag myself into work. It just really pissed me off how much people can take advantage of sick days.

V and D went out for lunch today and that didn’t help my mood any. It kind of pissed me off becos I don’t know why they didn’t invite me to go with them. The more I thought about it the more upset I got. V came up to me this morning and asked me how I was. I told him I was very grumpy so I’m wondering if he told D at lunch. The more upset I was becos they didn’t invite me the more I thought “There is no way that drink we are suppose to have is going to happen.” I wonder if V asked D already to come out with us and he said No. I’m not sure but I just get that feeling. I will try and talk to V tomorrow if I get a chance to talk to him alone.

I don’t know why I let it upset me so much. Maybe it is becos I have the winter blues. Maybe it is becos I know I am gaining weight.

Yesterday our receptionist came in our group and sat down in the chair beside me. We were talking for a few minutes and D walked by. He looked right in at me and gave me the nicest smile! I smiled back at him and I just melted! The receptionist didn’t see him walk by but she could tell who it was by my reaction! LOL! D stayed late again last night too. I was actually going down to see if he was still there becos I had a feeling he was and he came around the corner with his coat on. I asked him why he was still there but he asked me if I was working late. I said that I always am here this time. He said he was heading out and that was it. That is twice this week he has stayed late so I am wondering why of course. I will be watching to see if he stays late next week.

After he left last night I snuck into his office. There wasn’t anybody around so I was careful. There is a letter on his desk saying that he graduated from his sailing course that he took and when the graduation is which is next Monday night. Yes, I read the letter! I know, I am bad! He has a calendar on his desk and it says next Wednesday he is going to the boat show and on Saturday he is going to a concert. Why would he leave this information right on his desk? I wouldn’t have this at work. I would have it at home. Maybe he knows I’m going in his office snooping around?

I watched American Idol tonight. WTF is a girl additioning doing in a bikini? I can’t believe they would let her go on like that. And making out with Ryan Seacrest? OMG! How stupid is that?

I flicked back and forth between the hockey game and AI. The Leafs played against the Nashville Predators and we lost again 2 – 0! It wasn’t a very exciting game. Nashville isn’t a very good so I am surprised we lost.

J applied on line to College tonight! He wants to take computer programming and he is paying for it. He went to his fathers becos he is paying for it. I really hopes he gets accepted becos he is on the applied program. I think he will though, he is really excited about it!

Well, it’s Hump day tomorrow. Friday can’t come soon enough. I sure hope I feel better tomorrow. I hate feeling this way.

The baby shower was really nice this afternoon! One of my co-workers had the shower for a girl that use to work at our company. She left the company for another job and still kept in touch. We don’t see her that often so it was nice seeing her again.

I can’t believe how much stuff she got! I think her MIL bought out Toys R Us! LOL! All of the baby things were so adorable! Her mother couldn’t attend as the mother-to-be is from checkzlovakia and her parents live there. They are coming in April to see the baby which will be nice for her. I will be putting up pictures on Facebook probably tomorrow night.

There was so much food so I didn’t eat dinner tonight. Mom came over with a sheppards pie for her and J. J loved it! I was still full from eating all afternoon so I just had a caeser salade with them.

I woke up with a bad headache yesterday morning. It was almost migraine like but not as bad, thank goodness. We went to the mall and I got a cute little yellow outfit for the baby. It was a set with hat, bib, undershirt, sleepers and pants to match. Plus I got some wash cloths.

We did the groceries on the way home and shortly after I had to drive J to work. I came home and I ordered pizza, got undressed and watched the game. The Leafs lost to Philadelphia 4 – 1. It was not a good game. I watched a bit of Vancouver’s game and saw Mats Sundin score his first goal for Vancouver! It was pretty exciting! I saw him being interviewed amd I must say, I sure do miss him playing for the Leafs!

I felt so tired today. I think I was so drained from my headache yesterday. I got undressed as soon as I got home from the shower and made myself a cup ot tea. After Mom left I laid down on the couch and watched the Golden Globe Awards. I fell alseep so I missed some of it.

Anyway, I’m very tired and my bed is calling me. I hope everyone had a good weekend!

D has been so friendly lately! We have had a few good conversations this week! I am surprised he is being so friendly, I love it!

Yesterday, much to my surprise D was still working away at his desk when I was leaving. I knew he was still there so I went up to him on my way out and said “Go home and watch the game!” He said “Oh ya, we are playing tonight.” He went on to tell me that he doesn’t get the channel that it’s on. He is with Rogers and he isn’t happy with it. He said “I guess you are with Cogeco?” I said “Yes and we have Leafs TV.” which we love!

He told me that the night before he went to a friends house to watch the game between Montreal and New York. He even told me his friends name. He use to work here and I vaguely remember him. I didn’t know they were good friends. He said he was going to listen to the game on the radio. It didn’t dawn on me to ask him over to watch the game. I reliazed when I was driving home I had the most perfect opportunity and I blew it! I knew he wasn’t looking for an invite and I know he wouldn’t come over just like that. I can’t believe I didn’t ask him!

I did mention that we should bet again. He laughed and said “No, I learnt my lesson!” We both kind of laughed. I knew he would say that but I wanted to mention it again just incase.

We talked a bit more and I had to leave. I haven’t had any hot water for 2 days! The service guy was suppose to come last night between 6 – 9 pm. I told D this and he said “Good luck with that!” Anyway, he didn’t show up until 10:30 pm! I was a little pissed off! I had to pick up J from work at 8:30 and I was trying to watch the Habs and Leafs game. So I couldn’t really relax and watch the game last night like I wanted too.

When I was zapping my lunch in the kitchen today, V came in and he was talking to me about going out for drinks. He has been teasing me lately saying, “If I ask D to come with us you will buy me a drink!” I said “No, you should buy me a drink?” When we were talking about this D came in and we were arguing about buying each other a drink. I said “He’s going to buy me a drink D.” He smiled and nodded as he was walking out the kitchen. I wanted him to hear this so he would know we are thinking about going for drinks.

When I was in the kitchen later on in the afternoon V came in and said that he and D are planning a trip to Florida in February. I said “What? I am going with you!” He laughed. I said “Really? Is it business or pleasure?” He said “Both.” He went over to talk to D and when I was finished I saw them talking so I went up to them and said “I am going with you!” We talked about Florida for awhile. They were asking me how long it took us to drive down there. I said “I am going with you, I’m not waiting until April.” D said “Ya, Pam can drive the Winabago.” We all kind of laughed. At least he didn’t say “No, you can’t come!” We talked about Florida for awhile. V has never been to Daytona Beach. I said “I should show you my pictures. Did I show you my pictures?” D said “No, you didn’t.” Maybe when we go for drinks I will show them my pictures.

I was waiting for him to leave tonight and I saw him (out of the corner of my eye) walk by. He looked in and waved at me and said “Goodnight.” I said “Have a good weekend.” and he said “You too!” I was so happy he looked in and waved at me! It made my weekend!

The service guy last night was unable to fix my hot water tank. The igniter burnt out and the vent at the top of the tank was broken. He put in a new igniter but he had to order a new vent which came by taxi today. Again I had to wait for the guy to come. I waited all night. He finally came about 10:40 pm and it was all fixed by 11:00 pm. The guy said we would have hot water in about 45 minutes. I’m dying to have a shower! It’s too late now so I will have one tomorrow.

We have a few errands to do tomorrow. We will to go to the mall and treat ourselves to our usual Mr. Sub lunch. I have to by a baby gift for a baby shower I’m going to on Sunday afternoon.

J works tomorrow night and I’m looking forward to ordering pizza and watching the Leafs vs. Philadelphia game. Sunday afternoon I am going to a baby shower. One of the girls at work is having a baby shower for a girl that use to work here. I haven’t seen her in awhile so it will be nice to see her. I am going with my friend/co-worker. I’m sure it will be a fun afternoon! I hope everyone has a good weekend!

We had alot of snow fall last night so we had to shovel the driveway this morning. The drive to work was very slow. Not becos of the weather but becos there was an accident on the highway. It didn’t affect me as much as it affected D. He was stuck on the highway for 2 hours! I was only about 25 minutes late. I was wondering why I didn’t see D’s car in the parking lot. I always get upset when I don’t see his car right away and when I do see his car, a big smile comes on my face!

We didn’t get too much mail in today so we weren’t overly busy. I decided today to eat lunch in the kitchen today. I haven’t had lunch in the kitchen for a few days. So I was in there having lunch with a few of the girls and guess who walks in is D! He came into get a can of pop. My co-worker who sits beside me saw him go in the kitchen and she knew he was going in there to see me. Even she said she found it strange that the day I finally go in, he comes in to get a pop. I swear he comes in just so he can see me.

I also saw him walk by our group a couple of times and I can see him trying to look in at me out of the corner of his eye.

When we were in having lunch our manager came in and started talking to us about how she has started doing exercises. She was showing me how she does her crunchies and she suggested I get a ball which I have.

One of our higher ups came in the kitchen and he joined in our conversation. He actually sits on a ball instead of using a chair. The I.T. group also joined in our conversation. We were thinking of organizing an exercise class during our lunch period. I said to the guy “And we can use your ball!” And he said to me “You can come to my office after lunch.” Well, everyone burst out laughing and of course I turned beat red! So I said to him “And Happy New Year to you too!” LOLOL!

Well, everyone was so loud laughing I know D heard becos my friend/co-worker sits farther away from the kitchen than him and she came in to see what all the commotion was. Of course it was all about me as usual getting into trouble! LOL! It really was funny! Everyone was telling me to go to his office and say “OK, I am ready!” LMAO!!! Oh, and by the way… Yes he is married.

When I came home tonight, I noticed there wasn’t any hot water. Later on in the evening I noticed the motor to the hot water tank wasn’t shutting off. I called the water rental company and they are coming out tomorrow evening. I sure hope nothing is majorly wrong and we are without hot water for a few days. I don’t have a shower tomorrow night just in luke warm water.

I am looking forward to tomorrow nights game. The Leafs play the Habs! D’s team! I am going to go up and say to him “Do we dare bet on tonight’s game?” He probably won’t becos last time we bet (and I won $5.00) he said “Next time I’ll know better.” If he says “How much?” I will say “Drinks or lunch!” LOL! I hope I get enough nerve to. Wish me luck!
