It's Hockey Time – GO LEAFS!

I just spent all weekend painting.  My SIL and my mother helped me all weekend.  Even the boys helped, J and my nephew my SIL’s son and they did a great job!

We painted the dining/living room and hallway.  3 years ago we painted the dining/living room a peachy colour and I didn’t like the colour at all so we stopped at the hallway.  I had the itch recently to paint again becos I just couldn’t stand the colour anymore.  It took me forever to pick the colour this time becos I didn’t want to screw up again.  LOL!  I just wanted to do a beige colour and I ended up chosing a taupe/beige colour.  It is a nice nuetral colour and it is beautiful!  I absolutely love the colour!  It looks great against the white trim and my washed oak wall unit and my washed oak kitchen cabinets.  I keep admiring the colour and all our hard work of course!

I am so soar and tired from all the painting.  My back is killing me and so are my muscles.  I don’t know how I’m going to manage getting out of bed tomorrow morning.  I was going to take tomorrow but I’m going to take Friday off instead.

I have a carpet cleaning service guy coming tomorrow morning at 8:30 for an estimate.  I’m getting my whole downstairs carpet cleaned.  The carpet is badly stained from when the cat we were looking after puked all over the hall way.  I just hope it can all come out.  I will be really upset if it doesn’t.  The owner of the cat is paying for it which is nice of him. 

J is at his friends house.  J and his friend are watching a wrestling pay per view show.  My mother dropped him off after dinner.  He will be home shortly.  My mother brought her grill over and we grilled hambegers.  My barbeque died just before summer ended so I will have to buy a new one in the spring.

Tomorrow night Mom and I are going out to dinner with old friends of ours.  They are my mother’s financial advisor’s and there friend opened up a new restaurant in town.  It is a father and son team and they invited my mother and a friend of her’s as well.  These are very old friends of ours.  We were neighbors growing up.  I lvoe these guys so I am really looking forward to seeing them tomorrow night!

I’m off to bed.  I don’t know how I am going to get up in the morning.  Wish me luck!  I’ll probably be soar for a couple of days.  Hope everyone had a good weekend! 

It has been an interesting week so far.  Work is going well.  We didn’t get any mail in today being Remberance day so it was a catch up day.  It just means that we will be twice as busy tomorrow. 

D has been so friendly lately, I just don’t know what to make of it.  He stopped by on his way out yesterday and asked me if the Leafs were playing.  We talked about the game and other things for a few minutes.  V came by and wanted me to help him with the photocopier but I didn’t move.  After all, D was talking to me!  V left and he came back a couple of minutes later.  Someone else walked by and talked to D but D still didn’t move.   It was great!  D left and then I helped V with the photocopier.  Of course I was beaming all night long!

I had to cover lunch reception today and D came by again!  He asked me if I saw the game last night and then we talked about it for a few minutes.  But the darn phone rang so he left.  When he was walking away I said (as the phone was ringing) ”We will talk later.”  He turned his head and nodded yes. 

One of the girls came in while we were talking and she told me later that she said to her co-worker…  Oh, it’s so cute D is talking to Pam up at the front!   Maybe he will ask her to the Christmas dance!  Everyone is wondering why the heck he is being so friendly lately.  I have no idea but I love it!  And he signed on Facebook tonight and was on line for anout 45 mintes!  He hasn’t be on in weeks!  I couldn’t believe it!  I was shocked!  I want to so badly get up enough nerve to chat with him on FB but I just couldn’t do it.  I was shaking too much!  LOL  Tomorrow I might say to him, I saw you on line last night.  I was going to say Hi to you but I didn’t want to bother you. 

So why is D being so friendly?  Our company is trying to open a business over seas and if it is approved D will be going over there for about 3 months.  This is going to kill me when he is gone.  I will miss him so much!  It is almost %95 sure it will happen.  So I am thinking he is being friendly becos he feels he is safe.  That nothing is going to happen becos he is going away.  Or did he finally wake up?  Or did someone talk to him?  Or does he have a girlfriend now and that is why he feels he can talk to me becos he knows nothing is going to happen either.  I am so confused!  It is driving me absolutely crazy!  Especially when co-workers ar noticing and talking about us.  Don’t you find that odd that he came over to me last night on his way out and this afternoon at lunch reception and then he signed on Facebook tonight?  What the heck is going on with him!

Well, it’s late and I’m off to bed.  I will write more later.  I’m tired.  Hope everyone is having a good week!

We had a fun Halloween!  My costume this year at work was a big hit!  At first I had no clue what I was going to be but then it dawned on me the Sunday night before!  I was on the Toronto Maple Leafs website and I saw a photo of an Upset fan in the crowd and that is what I knew I was going to be.  I clicked on a link and that took me to a store where they had the mask.  It was near my office so I went during my lunch to go and pick it up.  I also got a flag to go with it!  Since I was a TML fan last year I thought it was only appropriate I’d be an Upset fan this year!  LOL

I decided I wouldn’t wear it to work becos I didn’t want to be seen right away.  I changed later on in the morning.  Everyone thought it was great and got a big kick out of it!  One of the girls took me to the presidents office to show me off!  He is a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan and he loved it!  He especially said he liked my TML pants.  They were actually J’s old TML pj’s pants that I snuck out of his drawer!  If he knew I took them he wouldn’t be too happy!  LOL!

There weren’t too many people dressed up this year.  It was an open theme or you could wear black or orange.   After lunch we played a couple of games.  There were prizes for the games but not the best costume this year.  Everyone said I would of won if there was.  And D loved it!  I got a big smile from him and he said it was really good!

After work I went to a friend/co-worker’s house for dinner.  I have never been to her place before.  She had a couple of her neighbor friends in who I had never met before.  She is from Turkey and she had a few Turkish dishes.  It was really good!  There was so much food!

On Thursday, V took another myself and another co-worker out for lunch for Indian food!  It was really good!  No, D wasn’t with us but he should of been.  V didn’t even ask him.  I’m sure D would of said “No” anyway.  V said they go to this restaurant all the time together becos D really likes it so why wouldn’t he go?  Maybe becos he is being so friendly now, he would go?  Oh well, hopefully next time!

The tricker treaters had a good weather this year.  We didn’t have too many, we only had about 35 – 40 kids.  J and I took turns answering the door while we were watching the Leafs vs Montreal game.  It was so exciting!  We were down and game back to tie the game!  We went into OT but we lost in a shoot out 5 – 4.  I hate shoot outs!  They are always so nerve racking, I can’t stand it!

We had fun seeing all the cute kids in there costumes.  We have tons of candy left over and I admit I have been eating way too much!  J is happy becos it is all the kind that he likes!  LOL!

This afternoon we took down the pumpkin lights and put the Christmas lights up!  I figured since I had the ladder out I would put them up.  It was a nice day to that anyway. 

We went to Mom’s for dinner tonight.  She had roast beef, with roasted potatoes, squash and beats.  It was delicious!  She gave us left overs to take home for dinner tomorrow night.  I love left overs!

It’s late and I am off to bed.  I really don’t want to go to work tomorrow.  Work sure has been stressful since the new way of entering invoices have started.  There are so many bugs to fix.  We need to have patience and I don’t have any patience at all.  I’m looking forward to seeing D tomorrow becos I’m sure he will stop by and talk about the game!  I hope everyone had a good Halloween!
