(If you were me, and) If you could see my desk right now, you'd probably throw yourself down a set of stairs so you wouldn't have to deal with any of it. Faking an injury, or inducing self-injury & making it look like an accident is a perfectly acceptable way to get out of work.

Leaving the dark side... Oh yes, you heard me. I am leaving the dark side, and getting rid of my stupid blackberry. I've had SO many problems, not just with it, but more so with Bell Canada & their policies. My phone number will stay the same, though I'm still not sure if I'm staying with Bell. Either way, those of you who PIN me will no longer be able to do so. Effective next week some time. *so if I stop answering you, it's not because I don't love you anymore.

* one of the girls I work with quit last week, but didn't tell anyone she quit, so everyone was trying to get a hold of her all day Thursday, Friday, and over the weekend. Talk about inconsiderate.
* I cut up all but one of my credit cards last week. Closed the accounts too. My spending wasn't out of control or anything, but I wasn't using them, and I thought it was time to limit my liabilities.
* We got a budgie. I named her Chloe. Then we got another one, because I thought she was lonely. Stevie came home with us yesterday. Chloe is trying to teach him to prune her, but so far, he's the only one getting pruned. They're so cute.
* I think Spring is totally here. I loved the smell of the air yesterday.
* One of the guys I work with won $100,000 last month playing the lottery. He had all but one of the Encore numbers. I wonder if me knowing him lessens my odds of winning?
* I'm writing :) I've got two books on the go. I shouldn't even call them books yet. I have two concepts on the go. I would love to stay home from my day job for a week or two, and just write...
* Do y'all think it's time to plan a get-together? Like we used to... the August long weekend... Plan some kind of an LJ weekend of fun & frolic? Toronto LJFest 2007? Or somewhere else... I'll come :) I'm *so* not a planner, but I will do whatever I can to help.

Does anyone have a picture of my butt?
Preferably covered :)

Howdy Pals... So, I know, it's been FOREVER. Much has gone on, and at the same time... not so much. Doing really well. Working on a bunch of different things right now. Had my 3rd eye procedure January 4th, and the pics are below:    I know, it's not pretty... I can't even look at it without my own eyes watering, and it creeps me out to think about it. I had a follow up appointment post-surgery, and the specialist said that everything looked good, and he didn't plan to perform a 4th at that time, but that he wanted to see me again in 6 weeks... which is March 7th. I'm feeling optimistic about my next appointment. PRAY FOR NO MORE NEEDLES IN MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Work has been keeping me VERY busy. I don't even remember what my last update was, and I'm multi-tasking right now as it is, or I would check & spare you the repetition... I got a full-time job, doing real estate & lease administration for a company that operates several different brands. To say I am busy 9-5 is an understatement, but I really like a couple of the key people I work with day to day, and I especially like the gentleman that I report directly to. I love the salary, and I love the consistency of quick pace and challenge. Here are a couple of pics from our company Christmas Party. We had a lunch/afternoon thing, so there was no chance to get really spiffed up or go anywhere spectacular. We simply went straight from a morning of work to a nearby restaurant and had a lovely lunch and gift exchange, etc. The two ladies in the pictures work downstairs with me, but our jobs have little to do with one another.   I'm also still doing the RE/MAX thing which I am putting more & more time into as the weather gets warm, and my pocket full of potentials are getting itchy to see stuff, and sooner or later - PURCHASE. I have been having a lot of fun with different marketing ideas & techniques. I also recently found out that my broker is going to be opening a new office (his 3rd) MUCH closer to my house... which will really rock. For any of you who have myspace accounts that I didn't already know about, you can find me at: www.myspace.com/mellasmom It hasn't exactly been a replacement for lj, but I've been having a bit of fun there when I find the time. Oh, speaking of time, I've been meaning to ask some random questions of all of you, and I just haven't made the time to put my thoughts into words, and properly poll all of you... ~ IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO RESPOND PRIVATELY, YOU CAN E-MAIL ME YOUR ANSWERS: mmastracci@gmail.com ~ * What was some of the best advice you were ever given by anyone (and by whom) with regard to living on your own? * What are some of your best tips/tricks for day to day living - be it stain removal, money saving, picking perfect fruit, saving a burnt dinner, finding the missing socks, budgeting, getting out of debt, keeping healthy, shortcuts of any kind, etc. * What are some of the worst mistakes you ever made when you moved out of your parents house? (this doesn't have to be a major deep thing, like how your life could have turned out sooo different). I'm looking for simple/fun stuff, like getting locked out of your apartment naked because the door locks automatically, or the disaster dinner party, or the worst roommate in the world stories, etc. LET ME HAVE IT PEOPLE!!! I'VE MISSED THE HECK OUTTA YA, AND WANT TO HEAR FROM EACH & EVERY PERSON, EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE STORIES TO TELL ME. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Current Mood: goodCurrent Music: Construction Workers Constructing (cute ones too!) | | Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 | | 11:47 am |
This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gross For all you people out there who love to pick & pop, this video should give you great pleasure. For those of you with weak stomachs.... well... you've been warned. *You know you're going to click anyway, cause you can't help yourself. http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-6475174804318580812&q=infectionPS - I hope everyone is well. I've had my 3rd eye injection now, and apart from looking like my husband beats me, I'm doing well (blood in my eye). Maybe I'll post pictures once we've uploaded them. * I know I'm not a very good LJ-buddy to have anymore, but I can always be reached at gmail (mmastracci@). I'm going to be doing a heavy-duty cleanse again, and I think I'm going to go back to being a vegetarian once I've cleaned the system out a bit. I have an appointment with my naturopathic doctor tonight to discuss it and a few other things (I think I'm getting a sinus infection, which, on top of the fact that I just had a needle in my eye a few days ago, is causing me great amounts of pain & sensitivity). I'm doing The Master Cleanse - http://www.therawfoodsite.com/mastercleanse.htmI've done it once before, but didn't get beyond 6 days. I have to tell you though, in those 6 days I lost nearly 10 lbs, which tells you my body was definitely needing to detox. It's mostly water, but our bodies retain water when they're toxic. It's one of the natural deffence mechanisms - to store extra water in an attempt to dilute the potency of the crap in our system. Get rid of the crap & the water goes too. I'm going to try for 10 days to start, and come day 10, if I feel good, I'll keep with it for another 2-3 days, and reassess again if I'm going to continue for another day or two. I've also gotten a f/t job. It's going well. I don't like the commute, but I love walking away from it at 5pm and not having to think about it or do anything during the evenings or on the weekends. Keeping the real estate going as well, but unofficially teaming up with two of my agent girlfriends to share workload. Three heads are better than one, especially when my availability is limited to evenings & weekends. *Who in their right mind wouldn't want three fantastic & adorable agents working for them, FOR THE PRICE OF ONE* I cut my hair. 6 whole inches! Oddly, few people noticed? I guess it was a lot longer than I thought it was. It's soooo healthy now. It's my natural colour too! I haven't coloured it since the summer, but had my guy doing low-lights for a few months in order to blend the old hair with the new hair, and get rid of that annoying line where the new growth shows so much... I'm sure lots of you gals are getting me, but especially the blondes. I haven't seen my own real hair colour in more than 15 years... I actually wasn't sure if I was really a blonde. My roots always looked so dark. Thankfully, I am blonde still, and I really like the colour. I've gotten more compliments in the last 2 months on my "colour" than ever before, so call me a fool for screwing around with it & wasting all my money all these years. Crap, I gotta run. Work stuff. I might be back. | | Sunday, July 16th, 2006 | | 3:34 pm |
I need your help! Hello again friends, If I haven't already told you, I am participating AGAIN in The Weekend to End Breast Cancer. Yes, I have actually volunteered to walk 60 kilometres over two days AGAIN, and to raise at least $4,000!! This is my third consecutive year doing this amazing event, and I am very happy to say that last year I actually crossed the finish line. *some of you may recall my year 1 heart-break of taking the bus for the final few kilometers, and crying my little eyes out. I have started my training, and it's time to kick-up my fundraising, as the walk is right around the corner! Any amount of support you can afford is greatly appreciated. I hold this cause very close to my heart, as we have all been touched in some way by this disease. My personal walk is dedicated to the memory of both of my grandmothers Gramma Mary, Gramma George, and to celebrate the fight won by Grandma Helen. Doing this walk helps me to put the lives of the women in my life into perspective. I am protecting. I am healing. I am growing. I am making a difference by being involved, and giving the people I know the chance to make a difference by supporting me. Please support my journey, and make it your journey too.
I want to thank everyone who has already supported me. I need all the help I can get!
Please, if you're thinking of making a donation, make it now. The funds are used by the Princess Margaret Hospital as soon as we raise them. Plus, I don't want to worry all summer that I won't meet my goals!
**** And everyone can support me (even if you already have) by sending out my requests to all of your friends, family and coworkers. Think about it, 1 in 9 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, so try to send it to 9 people.**** Thanks everyone for your well wishes, your encouragement and your support. I know I can do this, and I know it's because of your help! CLICK HERE TO SUPPORT ME *PLEASE* Current Mood: hopefulCurrent Music: Lovers Tonight - DMB | | Wednesday, May 24th, 2006 | | 5:52 pm |
song help
I have been looking for the song below, but only coming up with crazy (I must be getting old) remixes but I'm just looking for the dance version... not the crazy fast-rapping techno/pleasure rooms version.
HELP!
I feel the breeze, my top is down, and all I do,
is ride around and where I go I just don't care,
a place to chill, to get away. I take it day by day,
no work or play, nowhere to stay, and I just need
to clear my mind, to find my role in space in time.
I'm just cruisin'. . .
and I wonder if I ever find my way.
I'm just cruisin' down this highway of life...
and I'm looking for a place where I can hide away.
Two months and now I take it slow, I'm in the flow, so I can find
the fields of joy, where life is peace, where I can safely rest my soul.
The sun is glowing, winds are blowing, I'm still growing
and I try to do the best I can, go down this road, is there a plan?
I'm just cruisin'. . .
and I wonder if I ever find my way.
I'm just cruisin' down this highway of life,
and I'm looking for a place where I can hide away.

A year ago today I woke up without my baby.
A year ago yesterday was probably one of the most surreal days of my life yet. One thing leading to another, and none of it seeming real.
I feel at peace today.
I think of today as a sort of a bench mark, and when I look back over the last year, I am amazed at all of the things I was able to accomplish and change about my life that were making me unhappy since that time.
I am so much stronger than I give myself credit for. Through the process I tell myself how weak I am, and yet, I am the ball-roller, the change-maker, the goal-setter, the bar-raiser...
More later.

A few random things... what else is new?
Firstly, I finally got my period. A full week late. I'm going to see my doctor this week. I am sure everything is fine as far as my body goes, but my mind is suffering. 3 out of 4 weeks a month I am fantastic, and then I turn into a complete lunatic. I am not desperate to get pregnant (anymore/yet) but this lateness, and heavy-duty doses of hormonal burdens... I just can't deal consistently and pretend that everything is fine when I feel like my body is against me.
Going to the doctors will accomplish 2 things. 1) I want to talk to him about my mom's fibroids and whether or not that sort of thing is hereditary and possibly contributing to my cycle difficulties, and 2) ask him for a referral to a fertility clinic, because I met a really fabulous chick at LifeFest a few weeks ago, and I would like to follow up with her at her clinic, which would be covered if I have a referral from my doctor. My doc would give me the referral either way because he's great like that, but it has almost been a year since we lost the pregnancy, and I think I need a little piece of mind now and then that I am OK physically.
We got another listing this weekend. That makes 5 active luxury home listings at present. For your information, that is AMAZING.
I'm spending the morning at one of them getting it photographed professionally today. Then this afternoon, with another client talking to the town planner, as she wants to build on a lot she hasn't yet purchased, but that we have been helping her to gather information on (it's a little bit complicated due to land use freezes & limitations).
I now have a dining room set.
My beautiful Mennonite hutch is now at Bruno's parents house in their basement. I was going to sell it, but I paid nearly $3,000 for it during my first marriage, and it was one of the first things I told my ex I'd like to take with me. I love it so much. I'd never get what I paid for it. I'm hoping maybe someday we'll have a house that can accommodate it in the kitchen, as my kitchen table & chairs match it really nicely.
My grandmother who passed away last year left me her dining room set. It's a darker wood, but of impeccable quality and I love that it's here now. I wasn't sure about it all until I had put everything into it and made it functionally mine (ours).
I think it'll really look fabulous when we take out the carpet on the main floor of our house & put in hardwood. That'll happen in a few years, after our children have had a chance to ruin the carpet. lol.
This week, maybe even later today I'm going to get a new chandelier for the dining room, because I never liked the one that was there in the first place. Now that there's a table under it, I hate it that much more.
PS - I'd really like to go away for a few days with my two sisters for my 30th birthday... Any suggestions? I'm thinking somewhere in the States. Is Vegas cheap to travel to in August?
Gotta go get ready for my day.
