Cabbage Patch develops the shits

The stepdaughter came over last night - last weekend I painted her room purple, put up a quote that says "Like star dust on fairies wings, little girls dreams are of magical things" and stencilled fairies around it. I also put up a row of 5 pictures of her with us doing a bunch of things. She finally got to see it last night, and she absolutely loved it! I will have to post some pictures, it really is the cutest little girl's room ever!

Anyways, I had bought her some Cabbage Patch Kid diapers at Walmart a couple of weeks ago, and she finally discovered them last night. She wanted me to show her how to put the diaper on, which I did, and then she went "oh no, she pooed in her diaper!" and ripped it off and put a new one on. Within 2 seconds of putting the new one on, "oh no, she pooed again!". I tell you, that Cabbage Patch Kid had the shits far worse than anyone could ever imagine. She thinks it's funny now, but I'm sure when she has her own kid, changing diapers won't be quite the same. I myself am not looking forward to it, should we ever have a kid of our own, god forbid. :)

What colour are you?

I am a BLUE!

http://www.thecolorcode.com/#

BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives.

BLUES have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone, once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

SAD, or why I'm glad winter is nearly over!

The last few days the sun has been out more and more, and the temperature has been reaching 10 degrees. It is so nice! We've been able to clean up the patio, put out the patio furniture, and now we're on the hunt for a barbeque! I can't wait for the summer, being able to sit outside and have a beverage at night is going to marvellous, ditto the barbequing on the deck. It is also nice to be able to walk outside and not feel instantly frozen. Also, we've started doing cardio for 30 mins at the gym on our lunch hours - what a difference a bit of physical activity makes. WOOT.

*Disclaimer: Yes, I know it isn't all that cold in BC. However, I have lived on the Praries for 2 winters and therefore I feel I have paid my dues, and yes, I do know what it is like to live somewhere where it reaches -40 for days at a time. Therefore, I feel entitled to bitch about the weather dipping below zero. Hah!

Ok, I lied, he isn't annoying

For the record, Ash isn't annoying, hehehe, and now that I've said that publicly I will require him to share his knowledge of how to hook up a trailer.

Valentine's Day was good, we went out for a nice dinner together, came home and watched the hockey game and a movie, in the middle of which he fell asleep. :) I got a gift certificate for a hot stone massage, so that was very kind.

Tonight he is having a couple of his boyfriends over for poker night, so I think I am going to tidy up the upstairs, and start painting the smaller bedroom. And there is laundry to be done... oh, the laundry!

Ash Makes it to the Big Screen

I was informed, no, scratch that, TOLD, that there better be an update by lunchtime. For the record, my life truly isn't that exciting. No *giggles* I'm serious - it isn't! We are thinking we are going to have to get rid of the third cat we recently took off Muffin's parents hands. The cats just aren't getting along and I'm getting sick of the late night meowing and the fact that one of my cats won't use his litterbox all of a sudden, and the new cat is using the bedroom plant (gross) so I think she will have to go.

And, yes, I am aware it is Valentine's Day, but my expectations are low, he's a fantastic guy, he just keeps complaining about how much he hates V-Day and so on. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise me?

And Ash, here you go, just for you, I mentioned you on my blog. Ash is my most annoying friend, but handy to have around should I need a trailer hooked up. Hehehe.

Happy Tuesday!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, in case you've been living in a cave without a calendar. This is probably the most hated day by men around the world, and really, I wonder how much stock women really put in it anymore. My last Valentine's Day was fabulous, I will admit, but I'm sure this year will just be another day in the life, and honestly? I'm Ok with that. I think I would rather be in a relationship where love and respect is shown every day, in all the little ways, then have only one day a year to celebrate love.

Weekend! Woot!

I love Fridays. I especially love payday Fridays, but today is just a regular Friday. This weekend we have his daughter, and we're having some people over for dinner tonight, including my love monkey, that should be fantastic really. Hopefully the little one goes to bed on time and with minimal crying and maybe, just maybe, can I also ask that she sleep through the night? That would truly be fantastic. Truly.

Also, I'm sick, and I'm cranky.

Not a mommy, not a daddy, no real opinions to be honest

It's so hard sometimes to find a "purpose" for having a blog - I'm not a mommy (although almost a stepmommy?), I'm not a daddy, I'm not particularly funny, at least not when it comes to the written word, but yet I feel the need to have a blog. So here it is. And I'm using it again. Hah!

Does anyone read this anymore?

Or would I just be talking to myself?
