How I spent my day off

I hate the Dentist. I had to go today. Let me start by saying I had a bad experience with a dentist about 5-7 years ago and ever since I panick at the dentist. I hadn't gotten my teeth cleaned in years. I had many fillings that needed to be redone. I went today and had over $1,000 in work done and it only cost me $50 thanks to insurance.

anyway, I have a jaw problem where my jaw cracks LOUDLY every time i open my mouth. Something to do with the socket. whatever....I also have a VERY small mouth. Im talking really small. Every dentist comments on it. I had my mouth widened 2 times before I could even get braces. so because i can't open my mouth too wide it's hard, top that off with the Jaw problem and it's not a happy time.

I had my teeth cleaned today, that was good. Then right after I got 4 fillings redone. This is only on the one side of my mouth. ONly the Top right side. I was terrified for half the time and i dont' know why. I was shaking, tears were falling , thank goodness they can't see that with the sunglasses on. I had my Ipod BLASTING music the whole time. That helped a bit. But man am i glad that's over for a while. I have to go back and get ONE done Nov 24th, then I'll go back in January to get 2 more fillings in the bottom of my mouth. I have to space it , Insurance resets at $0 in January.

anyway, that was my day. I really wish i knew why i freak out so much. I mean that dentist years ago was rough but im really suprised i react the way i do now.

That being said, I may consider the Hypnotherapy the one dentist does. I do have to say, despite my freak outs they are very nice there and the dentist that did my fillings today, I didn't even feel her shove the needle in my face!

Photos to come

We went and got our engagement pictures taken today. Im looking forward to seeing them in 2 weeks. We went to Sherman Falls in Ancaster for them , i have to say, i LOVE our photographer, just the shots that we saw on her camera were awesome. Plus the location was amazing! Waterfalls, the leaves in all their colors . I can't wait to see!!!

So we're gonna have to put the wedding plans in Fast Forward come January. We were going through everything that needs to be done. I have a Wedding Planner book by Peggy Post and that is gonna be a huge help knowing when we should be doing stuff. basically Jan and Feb is when the big stuff starts. Ah the fun begins!!!

Finally!!

Ive been dealing with customers for the past 2 1/2 years now complaining that they weren't getting all the same channels as others in their city. This is because the lines weren't upgraded meaning new digital channels were only available where the upgraded lines were in place. The details ...i have no idea, but i do know it's very very expensive and time consuming for Cogeco upgrading lines. Thursday, My area got upgraded!!! I HAVE TELETOON RETRO!! I was so excited!! I love having free cable, i get TMN and now with the upgrade i also get the 4 super channels as well. About 200 channels or more totally free!! i lurve it. Saves a ton of money too, not that we'd have that much if we had to pay, hell no but free is good. My internet is super Cheap, $10 / month and my Phone is the same. It's hard sometimes to say "i love my job" but the perks...are really good.

I had this one really irate escalation yesterday, this ignorant woman who didn't pay her bills then was shocked that she was cut off. (seriously????) Anyway, she starts reaming in how our minimum wage employees are idiots...(ya...we're idiots?? we pay our bills!) And it was all i could do to not squeeze in there the fact that we start out making over double the minimum wage and that i probably make more than her sorry saggy ass. Honestly, when you call your cable company, be nice. Even if you're upset, If you're nice, we WANT to help you. You'd be suprised what i do for the nice ones. They're the deserving ones. If you're a bitch...basically..screw you. If you're gonna be nasty to me then i will follow procedures to the T and no credit's or courtesy unsuspensions for you. If you're nice, Im more willing to use my judgement and give you a break. Come on people!

Update

So ive been asked how it's going and it's going great. Im loving it. THe days are flying by, there's so much to do in SCA. If im not on calls im replying to emails ...friday there was over 300 emails in the customer service inbox to be replied to. Obviously they all didn't get answered! Ive been watching that show, Till Debt Do us Part lately and am really getting into it. The way some people are spending liek 3 times what they make in a month really makes me feel good about myself! Plus it gives good tips on saving money and getting out of debt. One of the challanges the lady usually gives the couple is to earn an extra $100 one week for extra's. If you want extras , earn the money for it, rather than charging it and getting in debt. Well, I will be getting a raise, 2 actually, my yearly raise based on my performance last year, then once that's calculated, i'll get my SCA pay raise. Because it's based on my income and the percentage, they have to wait till my regular bonus comes through to know what percent increase to give me, but I won't get that till the end of november. It'll be retro dated , and im taking that as my "extra" cash.

Al's gone to Sherkston today to help his parents close up the trailer, and im doing laundry at home and cleaning .. fun fun. Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving Dinner at lunch...at his parents house. mmmmturkey. There's only 55 days left till we sail away on a Carribean Cruise. yay! the best part...it's already paid for. Now the only $$ we save is spending money. yay!!! i can't wait!!

anyway,...off to tear the bed apart and do more wash!

SCA--Interview continued

I got the job. I signed the contract on Thursday and today is my first day as SCA. It's a contract position, so it's only untill Nov 30th,but you never know what can happen. yay!

Howdy from Sherkston

Not much happened this week, which is what we were hoping for. Jon and Amy came up to visit Monday night, poor Madie lost her cinderella, which i found yay!! Tuesday , we went to NY, to the Walden Galeria, more specifically, Steve and Barry's, got a ton of stuff for super cheap as well as Victorias Christmas gifts, im about half done my christmas shopping already!

Watched alot of movies this week...Sex and the City, What happens in Vegas, Miss Conception, Baby Momma, X-Men 1, Don't mess with the Zohan and Iron Man. It's been a good week lol. I love the weeks we can spend here , especially in September, there's basically no campers in the parks, and back where we are in the Trailer the people behind us aren't here...they're Portugese and VERY loud. We really just stick around the trailer, watch TV, go golf card riding , yesterday we went down to the beach. I forgot my cord to be able to upload pictures maybe i'll post one when we get home. I think we're gonna have another Campfire tonight, and since bill and Candace aren't coming after all, i have extra Hershey bars that i bought...which means MORE SMORES! It's nice having the fire, just sitting outside, some rum and coke, and music...smores...it's great.

I guess it's all back to business Monday, oh well,...got a few days left !

Apparently this fresh air makes Al snore more. Apparenlty i beat the guy up lol. I have also realized there is a HUGE difference between a queen size bed and a Double. A Double just doesnt' cut it!

Im on Vacation!! woohoo!

Yup, vacation started today. So here i sit in pj's doing laundry and packing and cleaning...sort of. I keep taking breaks. We're going to the ti Cat game tonight with a relative of Al's who's visiting from Scottland, and Al's dad. Tomorrow i'll go and use my gift cert for a mani/pedi that Al gave me for my birthday. Then Sunday...off to Brampton to Al's aunt's house for a family Reunion....then after that off to Fort Erie...Sherkston Shores for the week . I can't wait to be away from here! Bon fires, movies, just relaxing, BBQ's...Some friends Jon and Amy (ang you remember them) they may pop in again monday night, then we have Bill and Candace and their two kids coming up for a few days, not sure what days, then probably Rachel coming up on Saturday. So now, it's like what to pack??? will it be cold? will it be hot?? im using a huge suitcase lol

Interview

I applied for a different position at work this week and i have that interview on Thursday. I don't hold much hope for the position in all reality, simple reason being that at least 3 others have applied as well who have had time to do back up in that position. It's for SCA, our Second level support on the floor....answering rep's questions and taking escalations. I was told today though that there's 3 positions open, not 2. The hours would not be as good as i have now but it'd be a little more money and it's a change. I need the change right now. Ive done over 2 years of Billing and Collections calls and need my brain to work a different way and would like to be support now. I did side by sides today the first half of my shift then the second half i actually logged in and took support calls. I hope i get it, but at the same time...don't feel the hope...you know? this way no dissapointment. We'll see, i should find out by time im back from vacation...which is in 3 days....Sherkston here we come!!

Stuff.

So we have signed a contract with a Photographer for the wedding. We will be getting our engagement photos taken in Oct or November depending on how fast the leaves fall. We'll be doing them at Sherman Falls or some people know them as Smiths Falls..here..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Falls . so that's one thing out of the way, the invite list keeps getting bigger and bigger...and my stress level gets higher and higher.

Letter to the Man

This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.


Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.

Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?

As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customer's monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy!

The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.'

Are you f------ kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness, is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.

For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong', or are you just picking on us?

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bullshit. And that's a promise I will keep.

Always. . .

Best,
Wendi Aarons
Austin , TX

Ignorance

so at my grandpa's funeral yesterday John Friesen the pastor at a church in Tillsonburg chose the very moment that my Grandfathers dead body was only a few feet away from me to inquire whether or not i go to church, OH then he went a step further to ask if i was really saved. Can i express how much i despise that man? I will never EVER step foot in that so called church again in my life. I cannot stand him and his innapropriateness and Unless he has ascended and thinks he's God who the hell does he think he is???? He did this to my sister years ago, TOLD her that she was not a christian (im sorry...is he all knowing???) my mom and dad put him in his place. I wanted to lash out at him so bad but out of respect for my grandfather (which he apparently has NO respect) I held my tongue. I just gave him a dirty look and ignored him till his wife very politely changed the subject. He is the reason that IFB churches have bad names. I will never EVER EVER speak to that man again. The kicker, i introduced him as "John Friesen" not pastor friesen. I have zero respect for that man. What a way to make a hard day even more unpleasant.

And you wonder why i dont' like church.

RIP Grandpa

My moms dad passed away yesterday. His funeral is Monday at 2 in Sparta. 2 grandparents in 2 weeks. Im just worn out. I just dont' have energy to write.

Biggest One day purchase

I bought my wedding dress yesterday!!! I found the perfect dress, at 1/4 of the full price, there's no way i'd EVER be able to afford it at the regular price of $1599! I found it for $499 so i jumped on it. I also got a free Tiara and purse and matching Wrap as well!! I went with Sharon to a few bridal shops and tried on a bunch of dresses and styles and i picked out bridesmaid dresses as well, as i thought, we're going with the Alfred Angelo line. Im so excited! Now i gotta wait for the dress to come ! yay!!

R.I.P. Grandma

about 2 weeks ago mom told me htat grandma was diagnosed with Cancer, that day me and rachel drove to quebec. It was a quick trip, we drove more than we slept in those 2 days but it was important. The doctor said it wouldn't be long for her, days, or weeks, so it was important that we get to see her.

Grandma passed away Friday. the "lucky" day 8/8/08. Her kidneys had shut down and papa said she just fell asleep. He was there when she passed away. We're not going for the funeral, Rachel only gets one day off and Al can't get that off work , not with the shop closing in a few weeks. I want to remember Grandma when we were there, smiling. So i have a few days off, i took my 3 berevement days, emotionally, i need them. These last two weeks have just been a roller coaster.

First I get engaged, so happy, then...
Grandma has an epileptic Seizure, suprise....then
Angela's wedding, and Grandpa, not looking so good in my opinion, he's in a wheelchair now and jaundiced. Then ....
Grandma Diagnosed with cancer...then...
Whirlwind trip to Quebec....then
Sick...Flu and cold and work, no sick days were taken....then
Grandma passes away...then
Rachel and Sean Break up and now she needs help moving...

im just emotionally drained.

Rachel said something to me the other day when she told me about her and Sean, she said "I want my Al". That was the sweetest thing, He laughed when i told him and said "she just has to wait" i added that i told her "it only took 8 years, be patient!" lol. Seriously though, i love him so much and feel so loved it's an amazing feeling. Im gonna bake him some goodies on my time off.

We're going to go have dinner at and check out the Dundas Golf and Curling Club for the wedding, at least the reception. It's a Private Golf and Curling club but Al's parents are members there and i was looking at the site online and WOW it's really nice, their banquet rooms are perfect. So Mary and Jim are taking us to dinner there so we can check it out and see how much and stuff. I have a feeling if it's not too much we'll go for it. I just have that feeling.

Im Engaged!!!!

Alan proposed last night!!! I had gone to bed, early..as usual when i have to work at 7, i need my 8 hours....anyway, i sleep with a mask on. I do not like light when im sleeping. He came in and put the light on and just sat beside me on the bed and was kissing me, my forhead..cheak , little light kisses. I was teasing him to just shut off the light and he said he couldn't, so i pushed up my mask and there was a ring, right there, he was on his knee beside the bed and said "Sabrina, will you marry me?" This part is pure me....when i saw the ring , just before he asked, all i said was "holy crap!" completely suprised me. Which is cool cause I knew it was coming but i really wanted to be suprised. Then of course i couldnt' sleep. Im so going to bed soon.

My ring is georgeous, He picked it out all by himself. I wanted that to be a suprise too. Seriously , im all grins today.

I called my mom right after, she was very happy, i could hear my dad in the background say "finally!'" Apparently Al had called him in June when we were at Sherkston and asked his permission so they've just been waiting to hear since then.

YAY!! im so excited!!! We're going to get married next september or October.

thoughts from a spastic person

I just ate half a small jar of pickles. Gerkins. mmmmm

do you have any idea how hard it is to wax your own eyebrows? I do. It' s hard. I think i'll just cave and pay next time. Good news is i still have both eyebrows.

Lately i've been afraid of something. Everytime the phone rings and it's my mom I panic. Im afraid it'll be bad news about Grandpa. He went back into the hospital after Angela's stag and doe in June. Some sort of infection. He's weak as it is, we visited him for an hour or so the next day, the day before he went back into the hospital and he was almost falling asleep in his chair. It's hard to see him like that. But he's already lived longer than the dr's gave him when he was diagnosed in November. Grandma (grandpa's wife) was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in Nov of 93 and passed away Apr 94. that quick. Grandpa's is worse, more spread out, plus the tumors.

I don't know if it's good or not but i block it out. I dont' want to think of it. I coudlnt' even make it through the first half hour of The Bucket List because of this. In fact i dont' believe i will ever be able to watch that movie.

Monday sucks

Talk about dreaming in color, i drempt about those stupid vaccume seal bags. Yup, all night long. I was more tired waking up than i was when i went to bed. Then i get to work and all the crankiest early morning customers were at their finest miserableness. I was ready to quit, then i had break and it seemed to get better. Talk about a day of weird situations though, im talking real thinkers. I hate outsourcers, they just mess up accounts and then I get yelled at because of their incompentencies. Idiots. the good news is i got a customer commendation from an elderly lady i set up with services last week, so that cheered me up. There are a few people out there who actually appreciate us despite our faults. It's always nice to be appreciated.

reminds me of the song they play on the radio...to the mickey mouse theme song..

What's the worst day of the week that gets you all depressed..M-O-N-D-A-Y-S-U-C-K-S

monday sucks, monday sucks forever will it make you want to cry...so come along and sing this song and join with all the rest..M-O-N-D-A-Y-S-U-C-K-S

Amazing

Since moving, we're pretty much organized but there's still some stuff in boxes. Al's Aunt gave us a standup "pantry" for in the kitchen, so i get my bookshelf back. I just unpacked about 4 boxes of books, and there's still 3 boxes under my bed. It's not like we read alot anyway. Neither of us realized how much stuff we had untill moving here. It's all good though, slowly we're getting rid of stuff....(we have 9 Pans) . I dont' think we'll be here longer than 2 years though, I can definately see getting a house within the next few years. Untill then , we make do. So i went to Walmart this morning and bought one of those vaccume seal bags for storage. The box came with a Large and an Extra Large bag. Ive filled the large one with most of my winter clothes, and the Jumbo one has 2 king size comforters, about 10 towels (extra's) and 2 sets of sheets, and some other stuff. I LOVE THIS BAG. Im so getting another one or two , we've got some winter jackets that could be sucked airless and give us even more room! I think this is my new favorite thing!

One thing , when we DO get a house, it HAS to have a big kitchen. Cause I got ALOT of kitchen crap. ALOT. I have almost everything you would want for a normal residential kitchen, Digital rice cooker, Large Crock Pot, Blender, George Foreman, Kettle, etc, not to mention all our baking stuff, i think we have like 6 cookie sheets. Oh and the dishes...my word have we got dishes. WE have about 4 full sets of dishes in the cupboard. Hoping when Mike , Al's old roommate, and his girlfriend Kera get back from BC that they'll need dishes and pots and pans and stuff. Mike is Sean's (Rachel's boyfriend) brother. He and Kera are both early 20's, and took the opportunity to work at a resort out West for the summer. I miss them! I used to see both of them all the time before Me and Al moved.

Mom called last night, i could tell by the sound of her voice something was wrong. At first I thought it was Grandpa, but she didn't sound upset like someone died. It was my grandma's 80th birthday yesterday (my dad's mom), and they were all at family's place having a party when She had an Epileptic Seizure. She's in the hospital now, they want to know exactly why it happened. I think they're gonna put her in a Nursing home, apparently she's brought it up before this way she's not alone. If she had been alone when this happened.....it wouldn't have been good. Im not sure how i feel. I mean , i love my grandma, but we've never been close. First there's the language barrier, my grandma only speaks french. Plus the distance...when i was younger we'd visit every year for a week, even when we moved there to quebec she was still close to 3 hours away. I love my grandma but it's not hitting me as hard as Grandpa Kelley's health hit me. Im probably horrible for saying that, but something is to be said for closeness.

It's my cousins wedding in St Thomas on saturday. Still gotta her her a gift. She's marrying a really nice guy , Mike...I can't understand a word the guys says. He's Jamaican and his accent is so thick and he sorta mumbles. Should be interesting lol.

Making Steak Fajjita's for dinner tonight...my mouth is watering. oh and did i mention BB10 is on now?

early morning thoughts

Well, i spent alot of time yesterday looking online at Alfred Angelo's site, and I know what style of wedding dress i want . I think i'll let Sharon and Rachel pick their outfit, with the exception of a few details the dress has to have. I want to get married next year, October or the end of September. Most likely October, since the colors are dark, that'd probably be the best time to not die of heat. Al's kilt will be dark navy blue, and i want those colors in my dress as well. I think that when the time comes i'll go over to Buffalo to Davids Bridal and see what they got there and bring it back here for alterations. That's where Sharon got her dress so we'll see what ends up to be cheaper.

No, im not engaged yet, but im thinking it'll happen soon. I stumbled upon a hidden little box in his drawyer the other day....little tiny velvet box...that and other hints point to a question being popped soon.....not soon enough for me though!

This has been a busy time for us, summer always is. He's playing in a baseball tournament today, so i'm gonna drop him off and go shopping.

My sister and her boyfriend seem to be doing a bit better, she's still not moved back home but they're communicating. That's a good sign.

New

ok so trying this out again, not sure how often i'll be posting but i'll give it another go.
