I dare you...

...to sit still during this song:

It's Friday!

And all I have to say is THANK GOD.

Here are some other things:

• My mom is the bestest evah! I said I wanted to plant some stuff in my small garden and she went out and bought tomatoes, cliantro, etc. and even snuck in to plant them and make my garden all nice and purdy. I will have to take pics. It's small but very cute. Wasn't that nice of her? She even got me some garden tools cuz I'm too lazy to bother!

• THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!

• Work is super duper hectic and crazy and I'm losing my mind. I did however win Employee of the Month so I guess I'm doing something right?

• THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!

• Just because someone is family, doesn't mean you have to put up with their crap and it doesn't mean you have to like them either. If you've tried to make it work and it doesn't, avoid contact with this person. Point taken. Will do.
  

• THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!

• I'm going on a blind date tonight and he is going to end up my husband. Don't ask how I know. I just do. My psychic self (aka La Bruja) says so.

• Punta Cana is officially two weeks away. I can't wait to get my arse there.

• I really do have great friends and good people in my life and I should focus on them instead of the fuckheads.

• THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!

• I bought rollerblades and was scared to death of stopping using the break the first day. The second day....not so bad at all. I get it, it's fun and great exercise.

• I will be getting back to teaching at my Martial Arts Club. It will only be the Cardio Kickboxing classes, but they aren't really much different from the other classes except that it's to music, there's more cardio and you don't get to beat the shit out of anyone.
  

K that's all for now I think.

Have a good one!

TGIF!

Get out of the kitchen!

I went into the kitchen at work this morning and I'm not kidding you, there were about 6 men standing around talking, laughing and being all chummy.

It was really weird and made me feel "off" and all I wanted to do was slice a banana on my shredded wheat and pour my milk without rubbing elbows with such a large group of male species.

As I opened the cupboard and reached up to grab a bowl, I blinked my eyes twice and said out loud,




"TESTOSTERONE BE GONE!"





And they all cleared the fuck out of there.

God I'm good.

You should try that out one day and see if it works for you.

Let me know.

Chicle

I asked a coworker for a chicle the other day and he said no.

I said, but you always have gum!?

And he goes, oh well, I have this, and he pulls a pack of gum out of his "stash" drawer.

I'm like why didn't you say yes you liar?

And he said, you asked for a particular brand and I don't have it!

He needs Spanish lessons.

Oh Right! I have a blog...

...Yeah um I kinda forgot I had a blog and all that. I apologize although I'm sure you've managed to function just fine without me! Life is busy and all that so I have less time to write. Plus, not as much crazy shit happens here so you get what you get when you get it.

The good news about my absence is that I have managed to avoid yapping about Pig Flu (I refuse to call it by it's proper name because I'm like that) so if you've been trying to avoid reading about it, I've surely helped out!!! And if you've wanted to read about it...well there was plenty of shit out there to find and now of course the giant FEAR about nothing is gone.

I feel really bad for Mexico as a whole it's really been getting a shitty wrap lately and I will say that it really doesn't deserve it. So as a result, lots of people who rely on the tourism industry are suffering and it's just not cool. I know Mexico will bounce back, it always does. If any country is good at bouncing back it's Mexico, but yet my heart aches a little for the current suffering and I actually feel guilty that I don't live there right now, and that I'm not battling it out beside my friends.

Mexico is still such an integral part of who I am and how I think and I often find myself wavering between how I think as an expat in Mexico and how I think as a Canadian.

Last week I had a friend over to watch a movie and I decided to order it from my digital cable box. This means I can just pick the movie from my t.v. and watch it instead of venturing out to Blockbuster and dealing with all that bullshit. But the movie had glitches the entire way through and me and my guest just decided to live through it because calling up the company and disrupting the ambiance seemed like the wrong thing to do.

I said I would call the company and bitch the next day but then the next day came and I thought the following:

• Don't bother calling they won't even answer the phone.
• If they answer the phone they'll act polite but then hang up and send you to the hell.
• They won't believe me if I tell them and think I'm a crazy gringa.
• They will tell me they will credit me just to get me off the phone but it's just a big fat lie. I'll never see it reflected on my bill.
• They'll tell me I need to go to the office if I want something done about it.
  
• They'll say, "you're not suppose to have that service" and disconnect my internet just for fun.
• They'll change my address on my bill and then make me phone 50 times and go to the office to change it back, even though I didn't fuck up in the first place. (Might lead to slamming phone on desk...just a 411)

But then I shook my head and was like....WTF is wrong with you?

Call and bitch and make them give you something in return. So I called, and I was polite and they apologized and gave me a credit for another movie. LOL.

Certainly not like Mexico at all! LOL. But I'm grateful that I know the difference and can appreciate the simplicity I've found back in Canada.

On another note, I just booked a beach vacation and no it's not Cancun. It's not that I'm not going to Cancun right now because of a stupid flu, or because the Mafia scares me. But I really do think I should see other parts of the world right now. So I'm hittin Punta Cana for now but hope to see the CUN at the end of the year. So do me a favor and don't make me feel guilty. There really is more to it than just the "seeing other parts of the world" but I don't know how to explain it so I'm just not going to.

I could write more and ramble on forever but maybe I'll blog on the weekend or something....or maybe not? HAHAAHA.

Bai and I lurves you allz.
