Another week is done...

Hello Blogger pals! As the title suggests, I am now off until Sunday morning. Mmmm...One whole day off...after that I doubt I'll have any more. A co-workerof mine offerred to get me in touch with a friend of hers who needs some cleaning done at a local bowling alley on weekends. Just in the mornings for approximately 4 hours. The pay is good and it fits into my schedule. I hope that I can get started right away. Ya I know...this is a lot, but am ok about it. As long as I can pay my bills I don't care.
Okay, so today I had my Grad photos done. Never mind the fact that my hair just wouldn't work for me today. I worked at the Bistro from 8-2pm, then dashed home to shower and attempt to subdue this unruly mop of hair. I tried curling it....3 times...and in 5 minutes it turned to a limp wave. Then I put on my makeup. Was looking for my stage makeup as that stuff covers everything, and wouldn't you know it, it's nowhere to be found. I have to admit I don't like wearing gobs of foundation on my face, but I had some dark circles under my eyes and I looked tired. Believe me...I have enough makeup on my face to make a drag queen jealous. So I go in to get the pic done, and they only allow one pose for the entire package, never mind that it's costing my parents an arm and a leg. I had 3 great shots to choose from, and would have liked to have parts of the package made up with each of these pics, but no luck, so I opted for the one that has me wearing a Grad cap, so you can't see much of my hair anyways. I should've just left it down. Anyhoo, the photographer was super nice and offered to keep the pictures on file for me so that sometime down the road, I can get some more pics. I guess I will....once I can afford it. I felt a little down tho after seeing my pics on the computer screen, because I am bloated today, and my face looked a little fuller than usual. Oh well....I didn't really want to get them done, but I made the effort to look nice in them so I hope they're happy. I didn't have the full amount, but they're allowing me to pop in on Tuesday to pay the rest, and seeing as I get paid next week, I will pay a little extra for them to fix up the picture a bit....ummm...like getting rid of the dark circles under the eyes. Hmmmm.....Blogger question time.....how was your week? Let me know...all the dirt and details please. Blog ya later!

Insomnia strikes again!

Hello my wild and crazy Blogger pals! Yes, I'm still alive...wow..Tequila Party was successful...we polished off the 26'er and I didn't suffer too much. Nothing that half a Gravol wouldn't fix. So I'm up and it's almost time for me to get up and put in a long day at work. Fun times. It's all good.
So this week I'm getting some grad photos done. I have to book a hair appointment because I promised my mother I wouldn't look like a hippie with my long hair hanging down. She wants my hair to be up, perhaps in a bun, and I've tried to do that myself, but a million bobby pins wouldn't keep this mop under control. So, I will need some proffessional help. Perhaps with a few layers of glue and shellac will keep the Lethbridge wind at bay. What I dislike about this whole ordeal is that the pics are soo expensive. I've decided to bite the bullet and get original prints done (untouched FYI because they're the cheapest at $249 for a package), so am really loading up this week on the face cream and under eye gel to help keep the fine lines down. Although I don't care that much.I mean, I wouldn't care at all if the biggest pic my mom ordered was an 8x10...however, she wants a 16x20, wich means, my dear friends, that if I don't take good care of this mug, come friday, those lines are going to be as deep as the Grand Canyon. So...notes to self here...have to drink lots of water....use the creams, and ....most importantly...get plenty of sleep...oh yeah, and wear lots of makeup (hey, that's what they asked for). I find posing for pics like this rather amusing. I must say I don't consider myself very photogenic, and it seems that everytime someone snaps a shot of me, I have a zit or I'm really tired in the photo, or there's the infamous candid camera shot where I look like a deer caught in the headlights. Hmmm...imagine if I had to go to photo shoots all the time...man that would suck. But, I'm anticipating it being par for the course once my career really takes off, so I guess I'm gonna have to suck it up. Okay hmmm.....Blogger question time....other than the plans I already have to get myself photogenic, are there any other remedies to make me look as good as I should in these pics? I've heard of people putting hemmoroid cream under there eyes to reduce puffiness....but I really don't feel right about putting something on my face that should be placed ummmm.....elsewhere, if you catch my drift. Any good beauty tips would help right about now. Oh, and another Blogger question (in case you're a guy who doesn't feel too comfortable giving out beauty tips ) what was the worst pic ever taken of you (just describe it---the who, what, when, where, why). Mine was a Grade 8 photo ...picture a seriously bad afro and thick glasses...it was so bad even my teacher was rendered speechless. Needless to say, I ripped up most of those pics. Hmmm....I told my mom that getting me a perm was a bad idea...
So, big shout out to all my loyal fans....I'm glad to be back, and happy to keep visiting your sites. Keep on Bloggin!

Helloooo... I'm back!

Okay, I had a blog page...some of you knew about it, then I had the unfortunate case of someone close to me snooping around on my computer....long story short, am installing a password on my computer so he can't get in any more. Although this is the same blogger address as I've used before, so I say, whatever! What have I got to hide, I mean honestly? It was a rough week or so for myself, as I had to pack my bags, as he put me on a major guilt trip. I've decided to cancel that trip...thank you very much...because I have been honest about everything. I'm just a little pissed at myself for deleting some wonderful stuff. I mean, shit...I really wanted to keep it all, as I'd like to do some writing sometime soon. They say write what you know, so I'd like to do that. Anyoo, it's really great that I can post again...I miss chatting with all of you. Anyways..tonight, ladies and gentlemen I am hosting a tequila party at my abode, and I speak with certainty that I will be paying for this transgression all day Sunday....no, not a guilt trip, but the ultimate in hangovers. I swear, when I'm done, I'll wake up in the morning to see that my liver is making off with the last of my smokes, my coffee, and my spleen. Why not? I mean after all, I am working my arse off at 2 jobs, and yes, ladies and getlemen, am now considering a third, and if that doesn't pay the bills, I'm moving to cheaper accomodations. This blows, knowing the paycheque you make is all going on rent, and knowing that it won't cover it. Almost makes me depressed. I mean I would be if I hated the job and I actually had time to be depressed. But I don't so I won't. I'll just get drunk with some friends, have some Mexican themed cuisine, and sit back and watch a flick. Sooo looking forward to it.
Okay, Blogger question time....I think I may have asked this one before, but I'll ask again...what is your remedy for the hangover from hell? Send me some sugestions in time so that I can actually try them out. So until tomorow....long live Blogs!!!
