Alseep at the Keyboard

So I have never ever done this not even in school! I fell asleep while I was typing a letter at work! :o I don't know how long I was out but thankfully nobody saw so I just pretended it never happened.

Point of the story is that I maybe only had 2 1/2 hrs sleep last night! Why? Because it was absolutely freezing last night! I even had to throw on another blanket even with my duvet on!!!!! :o

I have honestly tried to read all of you blogs and comment on them but I have been really busy over the Christmas break but now hopefully things will start get back to normal soon! :D

Eyes

Yesterday I was driving home (in the dark) and I noticed that I could barely see. Now, the sky was clear, moon was out and there was no blowing snow. It was blurry but not blurry enough to warrant pulling over and getting someone to pick me up. (I wasn't wearing my glasses last night) Tonight I wore my glasses home and it was a little better. But I did call my eye doc and got an appointment booked for Sat. Until then I talked to my boss and he is going to let me go early that way I don't have to deal with that. :D

Maybe I'll get a nice pair of spectacles that I have to wear while driving.

And if I get new glasses for driving maybe I'll get a new pair of reading glasses.

And I would put up a joke of the day but I have really big headache right now so this was only going to be a short blog!

TTFN, Lexi :P

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! How was your New Year's? What did you do to ring in 2009?

We didn't go out to the lake so I spent the night in my room playing Wii with my cousin and we counted down, toasted with a glass of water (for me) and a glass of milk (for her) then we went to bed! :)

I made my first turkey dinner on Tuesday! It turned out really good, if I do say so myself! :D

Here are some picks:

The turkey!

Us eating my lovly meal. (Clockwise: Grandma, my dad, me and my cousin)

I made everything from scratch all by myself! :)

Instead of a Joke of the day I'm going to give you a quote of the day from House!

House Quote Of the Day:

"My dad needs a new kidney?"

"No, his are fine. we just thought it would be cool if he had three"

Home From the Holidays!

I'm home! I got home from the cabin on Saturday afternoon. I would have written a blog then, but I had laundry to do, and I had to make sure my room was clean for when my cousin came.

We picked her up yesterday at noon. :D I am really glad that she is here. Hopefully, when she leaves this time I'll be able to see her sooner then before.

Christmas

How was everybody's Christmas? Mine was really good.

We opened presents in the morning.

I got:

From "Santa" I got a box of chocolate covered cherries and a cell phone holder in the shape of a black high heel shoe! :D

From mom and dad I got a pair of pjs, a Teddy Bear (All proceeds went to the Stollary Children Hospital*) and a pair of polka dot slippers.

From my dad I got a make-up kit. It has 36 choices of eyeshadow, 2 eyeliners, 2 lip liners, 2 mascaras, 4 lip glosses, 1 blush, and 8 nail polishes.

From my grandma I got a broach and some cash.

We didn't have the traditional turkey dinner. We had ham, scalloped potatoes and honey glazed carrots. :D I helped my mom cook the meal and some family friends that were also spending Christmas at their cabin came over for supper.

Other then that we spent the day playing board games. One of the best Christmases since I turned 17. :D (I'm 19 now btw)

We are going back out to the cabin for New Year's. And my cousin is coming as well so we should have a good time.

The Weather

The weather hasn't been that bad it was actually starting to warm up except today it has been snowing. :( Thankfully, me and my cousin got back to my house before it started to snow. (We went shopping. And no I didn't get anymore purses :D )

Oilers

I can't believe it! They actually won against the Nashville Predators! I guess a little holiday actually helped them! :D Hopefully, they can keep this up!

Joke of the day

An older blond woman heard through a friend that taking a milk bath is good for the skin, will cure stretch marks and make her beautiful again. So she left a note for her milkman to leave 15 gallons of milk instead of the usual amount.

When the milkman arrived, and read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought she probably meant 1.5 gallons so he knocked on her door to clarify the point. The woman came to the door, and the milkman said, “Yes ma’am, I found your note to leave 15 gallons of milk. Did you mean 1.5 gallons?”

The blond said, “I want 15 gallons. I’m going to fill my bathtub up with milk and take a milk bath.”

The milkman asked, “Do you want it Pasteurized?”

The blonde replied, “Nope, just up to my boobs, I can splash it in my eyes.”

Hope you have a Happy New Year! This will probably be my last blog of the year so I will talk to guys in 2009! :D

TTFN, Lexi :P

*My fave charity

Guest Packages and Dirty Dancing

Today I took my grandma shopping at Wal-Mart!

I am having company for the week of New Year's so I was putting together a package together for their stay. I got this from (who I think is) the best hostess: Samantha (Samhouse). :D Anytime, that I used to visit her here in Alberta she always had a nice little care package for me (or any other guest).

Guest Package:

In a small-medium basket put- (If a couple put two of everything)

1 Large Bathtowel
1 Medium Bathtowel (for hair)
1 Hand towel
1 Face Cloth
1 Bar of soap (your choice)
1 Purse Size lotion (your choice)

Tie with nice ribbon and place in basket. Place the basket on the end of a freshly made bed on a tray with a vase of real or artificle flowers. So I did just that and I made the fold out couch in the basement for her a few minutes ago since I won't be back to the house until we come home from the bus stop with her! :D

Have fun this Christmas with the packages, make them Christmas themed! :D

Anyways, while I was going by the Electronics Department (okay, I was in it. I needed a break from looking for a basket for above mentioned care package) I saw the 20th Anniversary Edition of "Dirty Dancing"! One of my fave movies (coming up in a blog in the new year)! I just had to get it (it was on sale)! :D



Name that Carol

Congratulations to no one! Nobody guessed last times carol! :D So,

Make mommy's life a song
Keep my daddy safe and strong
Let me have them all year long

was from the song "That's What I Want for Christmas". (Couldn't find a video)

Today's song

Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
and ever over its Babel sounds

Unfortunately, there won't be a joke of the day since I couldn't find a very good one. :(

Redneck Christmas Songs

A play on Christmas songs! I have two favourites! :D

Rusty Chevrolet

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
IN MY RUSTY CHEVROLET
DOWN THE ROAD I GO
SLIDING ALL THE WAY
I NEED NEW PISTON RINGS
I NEED SOME NEW SNOW TIRES
MY CAR IS HELD TOGETHER
BY A PIECE OF CHICKEN WIRE

CHORUS:
RUST AND SMOKE THE HEATER'S BROKE
THE DOOR JUST BLEW AWAY
I LIGHT A MATCH TO SEE THE DASH
AND THEN I START TO PRAY
THE FRAME IS BENT THE MUFFLER WENT
THE RADIO IT'S OK
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO DRIVE
THIS RUSTY CHEVROLET

I WENT TO THE IGA
TO GET SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER
I JUST PASSED UP MY LEFT FRONT TIRE
AND ITS GETTING HARD TO STEER
SKIDDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY
RIGHT PAST THE NEGAUNEE COPS
I HAD TO DRAG MY SWAMPERS
TO GET THE CAR TO STOP

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BOUNCING THROUGH THE SNOWDRIFTS
IN A BIG BLUE CLOUD OF SMOKE
PEOPLE LAUGH AS I DRIVE BY
I WONDER WHAT'S THE JOKE
I GOT TO GET TO SHOPKO
TO PICK UP THE LAYAWAY
CAUSE SANTA CLAUS IS COMING SOON
IN HIS BIG OLD RUSTY SLEIGH

(REPEAT CHORUS)

And

12 Redneck days of Christmas

Wow, somebody done been to the WalMart!
(Jeff) Man, this is the stuff I got for Christmas.
Well you cleaned up! Whadya git?

Five flannel shirts
Four big mud tires
Three shotgun shells
Two hunting dogs
... And some parts to a Mustang GT.

Hey Bubba, you got gypped -- there's 12 days to Christmas.
(Jeff) I know that, I got it covered. Look over in the corner.
That's yours too?
Yea!

Chorus:
Twelve-pack of Bud
Eleven Wrastling tickets
Ten o' Copenhagen
Nine years probation
Eight table dancers
Seven packs of Redman
Six cans of Spam
Five flannel shirts
Four big mud tires
Three shotgun shells
Two hunting dogs
... And some parts to a Mustang GT.

Man, this ain't normal Christmas presents!
No, they're redneck gifts!
Redneck gifts?
Yea, you know, like
if you buy your wife earrings that double as fishing lures.
Or, if you can burp the entire chorus of "Jingle Bells"
Perhaps if you think "The Nutcracker" is something you did off a high-dive.
Or, if you've ever misspelled something in Christmas lights.
Or, if you leave cold beer and pickled eggs for Santa Claus.

What's wrong with that?
I didn't say anything wrong with it...
It's hard to beat...

Chorus:
Twelve-pack of Bud
Eleven Wrastling tickets
Ten o' Copenhagen
Nine years probation
Eight table dancers
Seven packs of Redman
Six cans of Spam
Five flannel shirts
Four big mud tires
Three shotgun shells
Two hunting dogs
... And some parts to a Mustang GT.

Well, you can't really consider it a Christmas
'less you go down to the penitentiary and visit your mama.
You're not listenin' to me!
Get the car key outta your ear.
That's where the nine years probation comes in...
I'm gonna do it for ya again.
Now listen...

Chorus:
Twelve-pack of Bud
Eleven Wrastling tickets
Ten o' Copenhagen
Nine years probation
Eight table dancers
Seven packs of Redman
Six cans of Spam
Five flannel shirts
Four big mud tires
Three shotgun shells
Two hunting dogs
... And some parts to a Mustang GT.

Joke of the Day

Just before Christmas, there was an honest politician, a kind lawyer and Santa Claus traveling in a lift of a very posh hotel. Just before the doors opened they all noticed a £5 note lying on the floor. Which one picked it up??
Santa of course, the other two don't exist!

Freakin' Freezing!

Yesterday when I got to work the office was absolutely freezing! Guess what?... the furnaces broke down!

I had to sit all day with -40 temps (including windchill) outside and feel frozen inside. You know its is absolutely cold inside when you can see your breath! :( Anyways, we got someone to come into the office to fix it. And he came back today to do the finishing touches! :D

I was an icicle all day! It's a good we have a big industrial oven so I could stand in front of that to warm up!

What the heck are they doing?! They made it worse! There is now way, way too much white! :( Anyways I don't want to get into a big long spiel. So I will be continuing to write my blogs here and I will keep posting a link there so you can stay up-to-date with me!

Joke of Day

As goofy George had a habit of giving his wife strange Christmas gifts, she was not surprised when he came one night carrying a tiny, branchless tree. Attached to a lone limb was a shotgun shell.

"All right, George," said his wife, truly stumped this time.
"What is it?"
"Why, honey." George smiled, "it's a cartridge in a bare tree."

Normalcy has Returned to work!

Well, yesterday was a lot better then Thursday. Most of the people who called on Thursday called yesterday and all of them were way nicer. I think Mark told Bill (boss) and Bill chewed out of the bigger companies. :D

Tonight I got signed up to sell liqour tickets at our Chamber of Commerce Christmas party. :D (I know the bartenders) So I'll be making some money that will be going straight to the "Lexi Needs a New Computer Fund". :D I'll let you know how that goes! :D

We are experiencing really cold weather here. -35 with the windchill. :( At least it is not snowing anymore. Hopefully, this weather will clear up soon. :)

Joke of the Day:

A 4-year-old boy was asked to give the meal blessing before Christmas dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. He began his prayer, thanking God for all his friends, naming them one by one. Then he thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts and uncles. Then he began to thank God for the food. He gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes, even the Cool Whip.

Then he paused, and everyone waited--and waited. After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, "If I thank God for the broccoli, won't he know that I'm lying?"
