2008-2009 Toronto Maple Leafs!

It has been a busy week so far. Yesterday morning I went to the lab and got my blood tested. I waited for over an hour. It was so packed people were waiting out in the hall. I had to fast so I was starving! I was late getting into work but I wasn’t too worried. I had to get this done. I made myself a cup of tea as soon as I got to the office and had a granola bar. I ended up getting a headache and I was so tired by the end of the day I just went home and crashed.

I went to weight watchers during my lunch today. I lost 1.2 lbs! I was so pleased becos lately I have been gaining. I still had to pay them as I was over my limit. I now weigh 140 lbs. I have 1 more pound to lose to be in my range so I don’t have to pay. I have to work really hard the next couple weeks so I don’t have to pay and be on track. My goal weight is 137 but if I’m over two pounds I have to pay. 2 lbs is very stressful which I told them so I want to lose another 10 more pounds so I don’t have to worry so much. Wish me luck!

We were down two girls today at work so we were pretty busy. My friends mother has been sick for awhile and she was admitted into the hospital last Friday. The Dr.’s ran all kinds of tests on her and it turns out she has lung cancer! They found a spot on her lung. She is a smoker which doesn’t really surprise me. I feel so bad for her. She found out last night and called in this morning telling us she will not be in the rest of the week. I don’t blame her, she is devastated. She called me at the end of the day in tears. I feel so bad for her and her family. This is my friend who’s daughter just got married the end of August. The spot on her lung is small, thank goodness and she is having surgery on Friday. Hopefully they will be able to remove it all, it would be a miracle! I will call my friend on the weekend to find out how her mother is. I’m praying for her and her family!

When I looked out this window this afternoon I couldn’t believe it was snowing! And it is still snowing! There is a blanket of snow on the ground. I sure hope we don’t have to shovel in the morning. It’s way too early for this! I want to go to Florida!

We had a company meeting this morning. As you all know times are tough becos of the economy. We were worried about lay-offs but no one is being laid off. Senior management is getting a cut in pay. I’m not sure if it effects D or not but I think it does. I’m not worried about him though, he will be just fine. I know he is well off. I am upset becos the Christmas party has been cancelled this year! Sniff, sniff! I always look forward to it every year.

I know D said he was thinking of not going this year but here is the kicker… Our receptionist told me today that D went up to her on Friday and he said “I was thinking of not going to the party but I am going to try and make it.” I couldn’t believe he said that! I was really surprised he said that becos it was the day after the night D and A (the young guy) took the guy out for drinks becos he was leaving and he said to D “I hear you have an admirer?” and D just laughed.

I am thinking that maybe he actually does like me too and he doesn’t even mind this whole thing. So I thought that I would say to him since the party has been cancelled we should go for a Christmas lunch or drinks. Should I email him or ask him? I hope I get up enough nerve too to say it! Maybe this would be a good time to say “You might as well give in becos you know we are going to go out sometime!” What should I say? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It has been a nice, quiet weekend. I got my CAA Membership for my car yesterday and I feel so much better. I have yet to program the phone number onto my cell phone. I must remember to do that tomorrow.

I enjoyed watching the game last night even though we lost to the Canucks 4 -2. It was a good game, especially in the 3rd period when we scored the 2 goals. Next time Bobbie, we will win!

It seems like I haven’t stopped all day today. J helped me put away the chairs from the patio, the lawn mower and the hose. I don’t know if I mentioned it or not but we put up the Christmas lights already. My mother and J actually put them up a couple of weeks ago when we had a warm spell. We are now ready for winter. Speaking of winter, it actually snowed a little bit this morning but it didn’t stick to the ground. It was just in time for the Santa Claus Parade in Toronto today!

I tidied up the house and did the usual two loads of laundry and cleaned the bathrooms. Mom was curling tonight so there was no dinner. I made a nice chicken dinner for me and J. After dinner I cleaned some more. I made myself a cup of tea and sat down and watched the Anne Murray special. After the show I did a bit of ironing and now I am exhausted!

Tomorrow is another Monday already. I forgot to mention on Friday I was standing in the isle next to my desk talking to a co-worker who was sitting at her desk. D walked by on his way out. He heard me talking and he looked and said Goodnight! So I yelled out Goodnight to him. Did that ever make my day! Why is it, he won’t go out of his way to come over to me to say good night to me but if he see’s me in the hall he will. I was surprised he did say Goodnight becos he was already passed me, then he yelled out Goodnight! If he does that, then why doesn’t he just come over? Anyway, he made my day and my weekend!

It’s late and I am exhausted. I’m off to bed. I hope everyone had a good weekend!

I left early from work yesterday to go to my Dr.’s appt. First my Dr. took my blood pressure which is fine and then he listened to my heart. He said “You have a very loud murmur!” I have always had a murmur becos I was born with a very small whole in my heart but it closed up by the time I was 12/13 years old. I told him I always have had a murmur and he said “No, it is very loud. I don’t remember it being so prominent!” He listened to it again and he said “It sounds like the aortic valve.” He asked me if I was experiencing shortness of breath and tightness in the chest. I said I haven’t really noticed any. He is sending me for an ultra sound and an ecg. He said “It’s a good thing you came in.” Of course now he has me freaked out and I really hope it isn’t anything too serious. It really scared me!

I told him my main concern was the muscles in my legs and my soar on my shoulder from when my skin specialist removed it becos he thinks it could be cancer but not the serious kind. He said the reason why my muscles in my legs are so soar is caused from the arthritis in my hips. The heart thing really threw me and now I’m really worried about it more than any of my other problems.

The paps mear was ok. I’m glad that’s over with! I was really nervous about it. My last physical was I believe in 2001. I know, I know, it’s been too long. The Dr. gave me a req for blood work which I have to get done Monday morning. I have to fast for it. I have to go for an ultra sound and have a mammogram done. I also have to have a bone destiny test done as he thinks I have osteoporosis and I also have to have a colonoscopy. He gave it to me in the summer and I have been putting it off. I sure will be glad when all this is over and I get good healthy results!

We had a nice lunch downstairs with the 2 co-workers that are leaving. The girl that quit took lots of pictures and she will put them on Facebook. It was so sad to see them go but I will definately keep in touch with them on Facebook and MSN. I will definately miss all her joke emails and her jokes about D. It just won’t be the same without her but I wish her well with her new job.

The young guy that quit went out with D and A (the young guy) last night. He told me that he said to D “I hear you have an admirer?” He said D just laughed and kind of chuckled and that is all that was said. LOL! He new exactly who he meant. I thought that was very good actually! No wonder I got a cute smile from D today! The young guy said “You have nothing to worry about.” and he told me to call him at home and talk to him that way becos he is so shy. I can’t call him at home, I don’t have the nerve!

J worked last night and I picked him up just in time for the game. It was a late start becos we are out west. We played against the Edmonton Oilers and The Leafs won 5 - 2! It was a great game of course I had to tease Bev about it! LOL!

I’m looking forward to watching the game tomorrow night. We play Vancouver! I will be thinking of you Bobbie! May the better team win! LOL!

Tomorrow we have a few errands to do. We have to go to the mall and I’m going to CAA to become a member finally. I am nervous with winter coming and my car is getting older. I know I will feel better having it. I used to have it years ago but it expired. I haven’t been able to afford it until now.

J workers tomorrow night and I will order pizza and enjoy the game! Sunday will be the usual cleaning day. I hope everyone has a good weekend!

I tried to post last night but it wouldn’t let me. The system must of been down so I will try again.

D has been very friendly lately! Yesterday my friend/co-worker and I were walking down the hall and he was going into the photocopier room. I was talking to my friend so I wasn’t really paying attention to him as he was walking towards me. He saw me and gave me his cute nod and a smile as he was turning the corner into the photocopier room. Someone was coming out of the room and they practically bumped right into each other. It was funny! I guess I distracted him! LOL! My co-worker who was coming out of the room gave me a look becos she saw the look he was giving me! It really was funny! LOL!

Later on in the afternoon I was in the kitchen making my tea at the usual time and D came in! He said “Did you hear?” I said “Hear what?” He said “About Matts Sundin. He just sold his house in Toronto but he has a condo and he is keeping it.” I asked him here he got his information from but he won’t tell me. I never heard anything about that! D still thinks he is coming back to the Leafs. I really hope Matts Sundin comes back and I wish he would make up his mind soon

D was being his usual self teasing me about the Leafs for quite awhile! It was a good conversation! He is being very friendly lately and I am not sure why. Today I was walking down the hall and go into the kitchen at tea time. I was going back to my desk to grab my cup. He beat me in there first! I asked him if there was any more news and he said “No.” We were talking for only a couple of minutes when V came in and interrupted us so he left with him. I was surprised he came into the kitchen at tea time again! He made my day as usual! LOL!

This afternoon I was at my friends/co-workers desk. We were talking and he walked by and gave me that cute little nod. I gave him a nice smile. I looked right into his eyes and he kept looking at me and smiled as he walked around the corner. There has to be something there I know it! I just wish I could talk to him!

A couple of co-workers are quitting and there last day is tomorrow. Quite a few of us are taking the girl out for lunch. The guy is going out with his group. D and A (the young guy) took him out for a drink tonight after work. The guy told me that he was going to ask D if he has a girlfriend for me and other personal things. I hope he was able to find out some information for me! LOL! After having a couple of drinks hopefully I will find something out! LOL!

I had a Dr.’s appt after work today. I left early and I didn’t take my lunch to make up the time. It was for a physical! I haven’t had one since 2001 so I admit I was nervous! I’m too tired to tell you all about it. That will be tomorrow’s post. I’m so tired and it is very late. I’m off to bed. I hope everyone is havign a good week!

So I hadn’t seen D all morning. I figured the right thing for him to do would be to come over and give me the $5.00. I wasn’t going over to him just yet. If I didn’t hear from him all day I would of gone over to his desk at the end of the day and collected.

I wasn’t going to eat in the kitchen today but something told me too. A few minutes later D walks in all smiles and said “I guess I owe you $5.00.” He said this right in front of everybody! I was surprised he did! Then he said ‘When is pay day?” I said “Today” Becos I wasn’t going to wait until pay day to get it. He was only kidding anyway, I know. And he came into the kitchen becos unpurpose, he wanted to see if I was in there eating so he could say something. LOL!

About an hour later he came over and put $5.00 on my desk! Unfortunately, I was on the phone (talking to J) so I just said “Oh, thank you!” That is the first time he has actually come over to my desk since he moved his office over to the other side! I was thrilled he came over!

I waited until the end of the day when mostly everyone had gone and went over to see him. I said “Sorry on was on the phone.” I thanked him for the $5.00 and I said “I should of made it $10.00!” He laughed. Of course we ended up talking about the game and the Leafs. He even admitted they are playing pretty good lately. He said he heard from a source that Matts Sundin is coming back to the Leafs. He has already signed and is coming back in January! I didn’t hear that so of course I was very happy to hear it. I told him I want to know who his source is. I said “Or are you pulling my leg as usual?” He laughed and he said “No, he really heard it. So now I’m going to bug him about who his source is.

So everything was going well. We were having a nice friendly conversation. He was so nice and we were laughing and it was going real good! I didn’t want to over stay my welcome so I left and as I was leaving I said “Next time it will be $10.00.” with a big smile! I didn’t want to mention lunch becos I decided that I will say it next time our teams play which isn’t until January unfortunately. If I said it now, I thought I would scare him away especially with the Christmas party coming up. And of course I really want him to go to that and he is already thinking of not going this year. I say he is being chicken shit!

Do you know what he said? He said “Next time, I will no better.” WTF did he mean by that? Was that a slap in the face? Did he say that becos he was afraid I was going to say “Next time is lunch?” You have no idea how he frustrates me! Now I wish I never said anything. When our teams play again in January he won’t be betting. He won’t give me the chance to say “I bet lunch!” But I am still going to try. What do I have to lose? So what do you guys think of his comment? Maybe he just said that, I don’t know. What do you think?

What a great game it was last night! We won against the Habs 6 -3 ! It was very exciting! I was so happy we won becos D owes me $5.00! I sure am going to have fun bugging him tomorrow! LOL! I wish I said lunch instead of $5.00 though. I wonder what he would of said if I said lunch. When I collect my $5.00 maybe I will say “Next time, it will be lunch!” I’m sure he won’t say anything, he will just kind of laugh. What do you think I should say?

Today was the usual Sunday. I tidied up the house and did two loads of laundry and a bit of ironing. We went to mom’s for dinner and we had spare ribs, rice and squash and of course wine. It was delicious! We left a bit early to go to the Mall to pick up J’s wrestling game that he pre-ordered for his PS3. It was released today and he was so excited to get it. He has been enjoying playing it all evening. He sure is a happy camper!

Well, it’s late and I’m so tired, I’m off to bed! I hope everyone had a good weekend!

T. G. I. F.! I’m so glad it’s Friday! It has been a busy week and I am tired! I am so looking forward to sleeping in the next two days. I really need it!

We haven’t been too busy at work. It has been really quiet the past couple of days. I would rather it be busy than not.

So as you know, I have been trying to play it cool around D. A couple of co-workers and I went downstairs to get our lunch today. It was just before noon. Who was standing there getting his lunch was D! I was surprised becos it was kind of early.

I asked him what he was getting and he said “Soup and toast.” He said he was hungry becos he didn’t have breakfast so that is why he went early. My friends ordered there lunch and I just got a salmon wrap. While I was waiting for it I said to him “We play tomorrow night.” He said “Yeah we do.” I said “You want to bet we win?” He said “Yeah ok.” I said “How much?” He said “A twoonie?” I started walking away with my friends and I said “$5.00!” Then my friend yelled out “LUNCH!” LOL! I don’t think he heard though becos we kept walking. Why didn’t I think of that instead of saying $5.00?” I’m surprised he is actually betting with me! He could of said he doesn’t bet.

Later on in the afternoon I was scanning at the photocopier. D was walking by to A’s cubicle. I said to him “So $5.00?” He said “I guess so. What happens if it is a tie?” I wanted so badly to say, then we will go for lunch but everyone would of heard so I said “I’m sure we will think of something.” Then I said “If it is a tie, it will be $10.00!” He laughed! I was glad I got him laughing! LOL! I should of said.

Yesterday afternoon V came up me and asked me for one of my chocolate bars. He asked for two and said he was going to give one to D. I said “What, why?” So he went over and gave him the chocolate bar. He started eating right away and when he was about half way through it V said “By the way, that came form Pam.” V said that D had just bit into it and stopped short and his eyes got so wide! LOL! V said “Whenever I need chocolate I always go to Pam she always has chocolate!” He didn’t say a word but he kept on eating it. I can’t believe V did that and I am not letting him do that again! D probably thinks that I told V to give it to him when it wasn’t me at all!

So I need your advice please! If the Leafs lose tomorrow night I need something clever to say to D. I want to mention lunch again. Should I say “Instead of giving you $5.00 we should go to lunch. I pay for mine and you pay for yours.” He would probably say “No, you owe me $5.00!” What should I say? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Tomorrow we have our usual errands. We are going to the mall. I need to get a new battery for my watch. I have been without a watch for a couple of days and it’s been driving me crazy! J works tomorrow night. I will order pizza and watch the Leafs vs the Montreal Canadians and pray that we win! I am nervous! I bet you D will be thinking of me all weekend too cos I am thinking of him! LOL!

Sunday will be the usual cleaning and laundry day. We are going to my mothers for dinner. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile. I’ve just been so tired at night and haven’t felt much like posting at all. I have some catching up to do.

Halloween was a lot of fun! I dressed up at work as a crazy Toronto Maple Fan. I wore J’s old jersey. I painted my face blue and white and I bought a blue and white wig from the party store. I also put tattoo’s on my face and I had my TML flag. It was hilarious! Everyone said they didn’t even recognize me becos of the paint! LOL! D saw me and he took a second look. When he figured out it was me he laughed! When V realized it was me he came around and started playing with my TML flag. D came up to us and he said “Are you converting?” Not too sure what he meant by that but I think he was teasing me getting me to like the Montreal Canadians becos they are his favorite team.

We had a nice luncheon and we all got loot bags full of candy. My costume tide for 2nd place! First prize was a bottle of wine and the 2nd prize was a breast cancer pink notebook and a pink pen to match. 1st prize was Sarah Palin. I got beat by Sarah Palin! Damn! LOL! Oh well, at least I came in 2nd. I like the note book. I use it for our meetings but I would rather have the wine. I tried to trade but that didn’t work. LOL!

After work I raced home to get the pumpkin and the candy ready. I left my costume on and we had dinner and waited for the doorbell to ring. It was a beautiful night! We only had about 40 kids or so and didn’t have too much candy left over.

I left work early yesterday becos I had a Dr.’s appt to see the skin specialist for my face. My rosacea is much better thanks to the antibiotics and cream I have been using. While I was there I showed him this mark on my shoulder. I showed him last time too and reminded him that he was going to take it off. The Dr. thinks it is skin cancer but not the serious kind.

The Dr. had to freeze it. He really scraped at it and I must say it did hurt as it was right on the bone. It is still soar today. There was alot of blood. It didn’t take too long and he put a bandaide on it. I am glad he removed it as it was bothering me. Sometimes it would catch on my bra strap or blouse and start bleeding. I go back in a month to find out the results. I’m kind of worried about it but at least I know it isn’t serious.

One of the girls in accounting is quitting. She is the one that always teases me about D and sends me funny emails about him/us. She is the one that actually set me up on Lava Life. Of course I am very upset about her leaving. It won’t be the same without her but I am happy for her and we will still be keeping touch via Facebook.

There was an email sent around announcing her resignation. D sent her an email saying “Tell me this isn’t true! Who will I sit with at the Christmas party this year?”

I couldn’t believe it! I am surprised he emailed her in the first place. Last year he sat beside her and her boyfriend and so far he has been saying he isn’t going to the Christmas party. Could it be he has he changed his mind? Did he just say that becos that is the way he remembers her? If you know what I mean? V told me D said he wasn’t going to the party. Our receptionist also said that D said he was thinking of not going this year. But he emails that to her?

Maybe he has heard that I am saying he was a Chicken Shit. Maybe he has decided to go to make it like he wasn’t being a Chicken Shit. I don’t know. He didn’t have to say anything about the Christmas party at all! Did he?

So do you know what she wrote back to him? She said “Yes, it’s true. I am leaving. We will see who the lucky one is that sits besides you!” LOL! I couldn’t believe she said that! Of course he is going to think that she is talking about me. He never replied back to her! I’m sure he is still thinking of not going so maybe I got all excited for nothing. I really don’t think he will going but I can only hope he does.

I am still seeing my reader from Belleville, Illinois and if you don’t tell me who are I will block you from my site. Please leave a comment and let me know who you are. I hope everyone is having a good week!

I tried to post this yesterday but I was having trouble so I am posting it tonight.

This week is going by fast! I can’t believe it’s Thursday tomorrow already. I picked up J after work and we went to get our Halloween candy. We carved the pumpkin while trying to watch the Leafs game and the World Series tonight becos J is working tomorrow night. J tried his hand at the pumpkin and did a pretty good job being his first time! I must admit I did most of it though, practice makes perfect as they say! We had alot of fun carving the pumpkin!

Nothing much has been going on at work. We haven’t been too busy this week. D has been pretty quiet. He was away Monday and I asked our receptionist where “My buddy” was. She told me that she got an email from him on Friday saying that he was going to take a vacation day on Monday. I thought Oh ok, he is probably in Kingston and just left it at that. Just as I was standing there, the phone rang. The receptionist answered it and it was D calling in for V! Our receptionist said to me “Speak of the devil!” LOL! It was funny! I wish I answered the phone! LOL!

Then on Tuesday, I went up to the front and our repceptionist said to me “He was at a funeral yesterday. The funeral was in the morning so when he called he just got home.” I wasn’t even going to talk to her about D! She just blurted it all out! I told her I wasn’t going to ask her about it but I thanked her anyway for telling me! I was glad she did tell me becos I really was dying to know! LOL!

I actually have been ignoring D lately becos I am so mad that he isn’t going to the Christmas party. I still can’t believe he isn’t going. He is chicken shit! I had to cover lunch reception today and D walked by. I got a nice Hi from him as he kept on walking by. I didn’t say anything at all, I just looked the other way. I honestly don’t know why he doesn’t stop and talk to me.

Later on in the afternoon V came by and started teasing me about D as he always does. I said “He’s not talking to me.” V said “He has something weighing on his mind.” He said he wants to take him out to dinner so he can talk to him about it but it probably won’t be until next week.

At the end of the day, our receptionist told me that D had a Dr.’s appt this evening. She said he left early to go to it. I said to her “Oh, this is the appt that he told me about for his allergies. It was in October remember I told you about it?” She said “Yes, I do.” I hope he isn’t worried about it and he is OK. I know his allergies are still bothering him. I hope I get to find out about it tomorrow.

When I came into work this morning my friend/coworker came up to me and said her husband said to her “I think I might of found someone for Pam!” I couldn’t believe it!!! Her husband golf’s with him and they are golfing together tomorrow so he is going to talk to him and feel him out. I said to my friend “OK, now I’m scared!” Wish me luck! You never know this could be him!

This is for Bobbie and Susan… Today at work A (the young guy) send an email around about the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was an article about the Leafs being the NHL’s most valuable team. A sent it to all the Leaf fans and the Habs fans including D of course. I replied back to everyone saying “And yet all the jokes are all about the TML. Sigh…” Our accounting manager replied back “Becos they are funny” and this went on and on for a few emails. She said “Being a Habs fan you TML fans wouldn’t understand”. I replied back “Oh we understand alright!” And I put my Habs Suck logo underneath it! We have a relatively new guy in the office who is a TML leafs sign and he replied back saying…
“LOL! This is funny! This one looks better than there actual logo. This one is more realistic! LOL!” Well, it just cracked me up!!! This was the first time the new guy saw my Logo obviously. LOL! D never replied at all but he said to A that it was really funny! And it was! Chalk one up for me! Us TML fans one that round! LOL! I’m still laughing about it, mostly becos I konw D and all the Big wigs got a kick out of it too! LOL!

Speaking of Toronto Maple Leafs, I’m going to be a Toronto Maple fan tomorrow! I ordered a blue and white wig from the party store (it is hilarious!, I love it!) and I’m wearing J’s old jersey. His size small jersey is way to small for him but it fits me. It is actually a bit too big for me but it’s ok. I got the paint to paint my face blue and white and tattoo’s to put on my cheeks. One of my co-workers will help me in the morning when I come in. I can’t wait to see what all the hockey fans will say! And of course I hope to get a reaction from D even though I am still mad at him.

We each had to bring in candy so everyone gets a loot bad. We are having a nice luncheon so it will be fun. I am looking forward to it! Last year I won first prize, I was a grape! It would be cool if I won first prize this year too! LOL!

Our pumpkin is all carved, we have all the candy so everything is ready for tomorrow night for the trick or treaters. I enjoy seeing all the kids come to the door, they are so cute in there costumes! Especially the little ones! Have a safe and fun Halloween!
