Everything Is Even Steven....But Who Is This Steven Guy Who Is So Even???

Hello again everyone! Hope things in your respective worlds have been good for you. Things here have been pretty calm considering the time of year it is. It gets a bit insane for the boy at this time. He doesn't really get any time off (not even for good behaviour). He works at a toy store and with it being Christmas season it stands to reason he works like a dog. I haven't really seen too much of him in the past 2-3 weeks. Probably explains why we've been mostly getting along eh? Haha. What else can I tell ya? Went to Kenora a couple of weeks back for my niece's birthday and it was fun. Went to the 94th Grey Cup here in Winnipeg and it was AWESOME! Even if my Bombers weren't in it. But I had fun there, and Nelly Furtado was HOT! Good times were had by all. I wasn't really paying much attention to the game though. It was a pretty boring game. Not alot going on. No big blowout but not alot of tension either. The night before the Grey Cup we went out to The Keg with friends (Mel and Zenon) and it was of course a great night! Had a good dinner. Not a great dinner but it was good. Everyone’s steak was somewhat under cooked. Even for me and I like it moo-ing almost. I like a very thick red strip in my steak. But this was chewy red, but so tasty. I didn't even partake in the potato. I had rice. And it came with these amazing shrimp with cheese on them. That made the dinner plate for me. And we shared Szechwan green beans as an appetizer and they were genius! We had desserts too. We never do that. But the company was good, even though they left out the most important part, the baby boy! But I can forgive it. I don't think he would appreciate the steak yet. Being not even 1 yet. Then we went home. It was nice. Very enjoyable. Volleyball has been ok so far. We did go down a tier but we should pretty much dominate and move up again next round. We kicked some booty last weekend! It was great! I got to be on the radio this week. I put in the Office Mix on a local radio station Q94 and I got to talk to the deejay and introduce some songs on air. It was taped over the phone of course but it was funny, and there was even a bit of witty banter. Thanks for the call Mel!! That was funny! I mostly giggled through the whole thing. We got some cool "swag" too. A free copy of U2 18 singles, and a dinner at Shannon's Irish Pub and a couple of passes to the movie "The Holiday" that they are presenting. Even Pete caught some of my performance where I said that Ticketmaster were good guys! We've had so many new guys in our office lately, we had our newest tech leave on holidays the day before the Grey Cup, so we had to pull in Tech from other cities. So a guy from Edmonton and a guy from Calgary came in last week. It was neat cause I got to communicate with them for about a week prior to them coming down about whether or not they would even have rooms to stay in cause it was Grey Cup here and the city was at like 95% capacity in hotel room. So we would email back and forth about cost and stuff, and I could only get one room for them to share on one of the nights so I said that Hey it has a King bed and a hot tub - have fun! It all turned out, I worked some magic at one of the hotels close to us and got them in there for most of their stay. I hadn't met one of them yet but they were at the game but I didn't get to meet them cause they were in a different section. So on Monday morning one of them walked in and I swear I almost went slack-jawed. This was the HOTTEST guy I have ever seen in person before. He walks in and introduces himself and I can hardly make words come out of my mouth. So I show him in and go back to my desk and immediately call the girls at the supervisor desks in the phone room and tell them to go to Tech for ANY reason necessary. Danielle calls me back and says "When he walked in the phone room every girl stopped their call to stare, and maybe a few guys too!" Just stupid pretty this guy is. It was a good week. Gotta love the menu, cause I can look I just can't order off of it. And then at the end of the week we all went out for lunch, or at least we were supposed to and it ended up just being this guy and some of the girls from the office, but we had a good lunch and he bought. I thought that was super, super nice. Didn't know nice guys came that good looking. So all the girls had nice hair that week, it was kinda funny. I don't think he quite knew what to do with it. But our office is severely missing that one special hot hot hot guy, and we got him for a week. I mean we have good looking guys in our office, but this guy was just - wow! Now we have another guy in and he's cute too, I don't know what they feed their Techs out west but we ought to adopt the same diet for out here. We haven't had a cute tech since George left (heheheheh!), and considering what we had to look at before George in the Tech world, well damn this was all just too sudden. I shoulda downloaded a virus just to get him at my desk more often. Just kidding. Of course it's all just for fun, I mean I love my boy and he's a handsome feller too. Nice ass! Well I guess I have used up this spot pretty good. I will be back sooner then later I am sure! Have a good week all!!! J-BOMB OUT!

This and That

Hello all! I know it's been a while, just about a month. I was a little bored maybe since the past drama I guess. Which is good for me personally, but boring reading for my blog. Not that alot of people read my blog (Thanks Jenn and George!) Things have been ok I guess for the past couple of weeks. Been busy at work, which keeps me out of trouble. Still playing volleyball 2-3 times a week. Hosted a mini-dinner party for Mike, me, Mel, Zenon and baby Ben. I even blew off volleyball for it. Nice me huh?!?! It was so much fun too. I made Lasagna and garlic toast and caesar salad. It all went over well. Although Mel and Zenon had to eat in shifts. One watches Ben and then the other eats. Zenon got the first eating shift the lucky bastard. I don't mean to toot my own horn but there were some lovely sounding yummy noises that were very much appreciated. And Mel made the most amazing thing for dessert. It's like a chocolate chip cookie cake. AWESOME! It really was a chocolate chip cookie the size of a cake, and it was sooooo good. I still drool as I think about it, and this was a couple of weeks ago now. So we decided to do this like once a month and make an evening out of it. One couple makes the dinner and the other makes the dessert. Who ever makes the dinner hosts it at their place. IT was funny cause Zenon and Mel are Coke drinkers and Mike and I are not. So when I went to go and get all the stuff for the makings I bought a two litre of Coke, then when Mike came home he had a two litre of it too, and then when they came over they had a two litre as well. Too funny and of course they didn't take it with them so we had 3 two litres of Coke in the apartment. We still have a litre left. I find Coke gives me chest pains. Strange. Then after dinner we played a half version of Trivial Pursuit. Instead of using the board, which takes forever and a day, we just asked eachother questions and whoever answered 20 right first wins. I WON!!! NEENER NEENER NEENER!!!!! I rule all!! In fact I got an email that stated that fact nicely the other day. You input your name and it tells you what you were destined to be. And mine was a nice confirmation of what I have always known, I am supposed to be emperor of all the world!!! Want to know what you are supposed to be, leave a comment with your first and last name and I will tell you what you are supposed to be. This will be fun.
Volleyball has been up and down, we have been playing well just not well enough to win. The team cohesion is wearing down. And it never helps that we seem to be playing with different people every time. We need to win our next two games or we will move down to the last tier - AGAIN! I don't want to do that. Lorne finally joined our team, which is nice to add some depth and height to our team. We should be able to win this game tomorrow. We play at 11 AM though. That sucks. Plus tonite I am in an all night volleyball social tournament. I don't really know how it works but hopefully it will be fun. I think it will. But I won't be drinking I don't think, not if I have to play the next morning. Then after the Sunday league game I will play again at 5:30 with the same group in the social tournament. It's fun! I just dyed my hair.... I can't tell what it looks like yet though cause it's still wet. I am getting antsy though, I may have go and take a peek ......................still to hard to tell it just looks wet-dark. I could blow dry it but that just takes away from the excitement! I can wait ........ can you? You can't??? Are you sure??? Alright then I shall go and look just for you then . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DAMMIT! It's just dark :( I wanted Auburn not chocolate! This is very disappointing! :( Well at least the grays are gone! That's a glass half full outlook I guess I can try out. Not to mention how nice my hair smells....sniff. I love that smell. And the new body soap I bought smells really good too, I smell like a perfume counter. I kinda like it though. Well I am off now, I got laundry to do and other boring monotonous crap.
J-BOMB! OUT!
