Be Careful What You Ask For

Leave a Comment

Who knew that joking around would bring such a gift. I think I better watch what I ask for these days eh? I just might get it. That boyfriend of mine James is a sneaky one.

On the way to Petawawa last night the conversation about jewlery came up ad I jokingly said that James should definitely buy me a diamond. I mean hell, he’s set on getting me to celebrate my birthday once more. So I told him the way I’d do that is that he’d have to get me a diamond for my birthday.

April is diamonds and diamonds are a girls best friend, right?

Well guess what? It’s not April but much to my surprise the little sneak actually had a diamond for me and never said a word.

I received a very beautiful necklace and it has a little diamond on it. I absolutely love it and I’m wearing it now and I actually don’t like wearing jewlery but I will definitely wear this.

Love you James and thanks so very very much!

Ottawa vs. Petawawa SPCA

Leave a Comment

Looking to adopt an animal? Want to add a new four legged friend to your household and thinking the SPCA is the best way to go?

Well, do not go through the SPCA in Ottawa they are more for talking you out of adopting than working with you to find that best match. They have a questionnaire you must fill out and they claim it’s only to get to know you and make sure you know what you’re looking for in a pet.

James and I have been trying to adopt a dog through the SPCA in Ottawa since the end of August and we’ve had nothing but fights with them. Any time we found a dog that would match us and call them about each dog they argued with us about how the dog wouldn’t fit in. For example, this dog loves to bark and wouldn’t be good for apartments, bu hey we told them time and time again that our apartment is cool with dogs and there’s loads of them around and they all bark including the one we already have.Example 2, this dog doesn’t do that well with kids, but hey, that’s ok too since right now we don’t have kids so it’s something that we can work on. That way in the future and the dog is a little older being around kids won’t matter. How about this one, this dog hasn’t been trained at all and you guys said you don’t want to do training. No no you nits, we said we are quite flexible when it comes to training depending on the dog.

So that questionnaire that is suppose to be just a guide line for the Ottawa SPCA, yeah, they lie. They use it to keep telling you no no no that won’t work. We’ll call you when a dog comes up or keep looking on the site and let us know when you see another one.

After doing that 6 times and getting the same results the Ottawa SPCA can go fly a kite.

Now, here’s the awesome thing. James and I are in Petawawa this weekend to do the whole Thanksgiving thing with the parents. We walked into the SPCA here this morning and found a very beautiful girl named Nova. We had a look at her, played with her a bit in the yard, got to know what she’s like and how she may act at first and that was that. On Sunday we take Noah to meet Nova and since I’m pretty sure all will go well there our new girl comes home with us then.

So once again if you’re looking to adopt a pet go anywhere but the SPCA in Ottawa.

Where’s the Ham?

7 Comments

Well, it’s that time of year again. Where everyone is making lots of nasty, gross, disgusting turkey. *gags*

The best part about this year is that I get to spend it with James and his family who I really like, but here’s a serious question. Where’s the ham? Please tell me there will be ham. I mean, I hate turkey, eew!

Now maybe if there’s lots of pumpkin pie I won’t mind, but as long as I get it and not James the greety pig.

So mom, is there ham?

I’ll tell you all how things go if I survive sometime over the weekend.

Abuse of Power

Leave a Comment

People in power that need to catch up with todays time. A judge that needs a lesson in todays culture and what symbols like “lol” mean.

Apparently, a woman named Paula Asher, who hit a car while driving under the influence, was ordered by the judge in the case to delete her Facebook account, after she typed the following status message on her Facebook page:

“My dumb bass got a DUI and I hit a car…LOL”

The judge seemed to take the “LOL” statement literally — that she was “laughing out loud” at her drunk driving accident — and ordered her to delete her Facebook account. She then ignored that order, leading to a contempt of court charge and jail time.

WTF! What does facebook have to do with any of this? I ean did this judge never laugh at herself when she did something stupid? Talk about abuse of power. If I was this lady I’d go after the judge for wrongful jail time.

Great, punish the woman for driving while drunk that’s expected, but the jail time. What’s that crap all about?

I don’t think this judge belongs on the bench and should be removed.

Social Media, an Addiction, Yes or No?

Leave a Comment

First I would ask that anyone that chooses to post on this thread please keep it respectful. Everyone has a right to their opinion and feelings and should not be made to feel bad or defensive about what is said here.

I have a project due in school for my Addictions class and everyone and their grandmother is doing theirs on the common addictions that everyone knows about drugs and alcohol, but my interest lies in another direction. Social media is it an addiction? Can it lead to an addiction?

It’s only within the past year or so that professionals started looking seriously at social media as an addiction and of course with any new thing it will generate nice debates. So I’m interested in your thoughts if you care to share them.

Huge Reason to Celebrate!

Leave a Comment

I am so going to celebrate today after class and possibly all weekend!

For the first time ever I got my best grade on a test and in Sociology at that!

Usually when I sit down to take a test I totally forget everything I’ve learned, read or whatever, but not this time. I received 8.75 out of 10 points on a 40 question multiple question test. So totally awesome for me!

This test I was more worried about than others in the past as well due to issues I’m having with not quite having my text book because Center for Students with Disabilities, (CSD) is well, way back there. I received the first 4 chapters of my Sociology book by Wednesday of this week and the test had to be done today before 4:00 pm.

This one test and best grade ever will motivate me to at least keep going to my Sociology class, *smiles*

Yay me!

Glad it’s Not Me and Picking Up A Roommate

Leave a Comment

Whew, all I can say is, “I’m glad it’s not me.”

I took James to Algonquin College today so that he could register for school and all that happy stuff, so now he’s a student in training, *smiles* Unfortunately for the boy thing he has to get up and be at school 4 days a week by 8 in the morning. That’s probably not the worse part for him. No no, that is probably the fact that he has to do math that early in the morning, ha!

So do I hear loads of caffeine time in the morning starting on October 15th or somewhere around that time?

Oh yes, lets also mention that also starting around that time I’ll be picking up a roommate. Yep, going to try this whole roommate thing again and hope things work out this time. That means once again lets try for this 2 bedroom thing and see what happens. *looks for the nearest place to buy Pornstars*

Ha, that’s Pornstars the drink!

Does Not Like Pepsi!

6 Comments

Well, lately there’s been lots of post regarding school stuff, so it’s time to move to a different book and see what’s inside.

If you don’t remember several post ago I mentioned I have a boyfriend and he’s the one that got me back into this blogging thing and surprisingly enough I now do it more than he does. That’s just because he’s lazy, *smiles*

Anyways, his name is James and we’ve been dating since July 1, 2012 and will hit the 3 month mark next week. Can’t believe that, seriously how time flies.

Things are going great there, better than I expected, but see there’s this one huge problem. He does not like Pepsi! I mean something is seriously wrong with this picture. How can you not like Pepsi? He’s a Coke drinker and that’s all good. I have nothing against Coke except for the fact, it’s, not, Pepsi!!

And if anyone dares try and say they taste the same I’m going to find you and smack you around with cases of Coke and Pepsi just for good measure.

Anyways, maybe I’ll have to trade James in for someone that’s a Pepsi drinker. This needs some serious thought now, *smiles*

I love you James!

Who Turned Off the Heat?

Leave a Comment

Hey, someone please tell mother nature to turn the heat back up just a bit. I mean hell it’s not time for it to be this cold outside, brrrrr!!

I’m not suppose to wake up some mornings and it be 0 degrees outside. I shouldn’t have to grab a coat yet just to take my dog outside. What’s all this about?

Seriously someone flip the switch back to at least comfortable weather.

Who needs sleep?

5 Comments

Well, I must say I found it rather amusing when I finished my assignment for class to discover that the sleep that I thought I actually did was not true.

Four hours of sleep, yeah right! I’m lucky to get sleep once a week according to my time line.

How in the world do I manage to do all I do and not freaking sleep?

Before anyone suggest it, no, cafene is not my excuse either. I just somehow manage to stay awake for hours and hours on end before I go to sleep. Then when I finally sleep it’s like for maybe 2 hours if I’m lucky.

Now of course when I’m sick that time is different. I get 4 to 5 hours of sleep, drugged but hey, it’s still sleep.

Seriously, who needs sleep? Highly over rated, *smiles*
