Well would you look at that... Christmas morning already. Guess this'll be my last log in for a couple weeks... this time tomorrow we will be on our way to Calgary International.

His reply?


"Which one?"

We talked for an hour or so... K well he talked and...

American Idol has got some hanus auditions... oops! Are we live? Oh would you look at that... been back eight whole days already, and forgot to update you!

Actually, promised MB an exclusive.... and was sick.... and back to my hundred hour weeks... and....

So what's with that one particular question anyways?

"So did she say Yes?"

No really, what's with that? Did she say Yes!

OF COURSE SHE SAID YES!!! I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE!!! WHO WOULDN"T WANT TO MARRY ME!!??!

Disneyland is MOTHER!@#$%^ AWESOME!!!

If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend you give it a try... and for the extra few g's.... the engagement adds a delectible touch!

Who out there can beat asking the one you love to marry you AT Disneyland NewYears Eve, beside the wishing well beside Sleeping Beauty's Castle... soft lighting, happy music, and not a soul within forty yards!

NO-ONE!!!!!

I rock! smile



Well... now that I have gotten that out of my system, I can go back to work. smile smile smile

Had to know things couldn't stay great!

Shitty past few days. One particular idiot who works foe me needs a kick in the head! Too bad I can't afford to fire him at this point. Hell I can't even suspend him cuz I'm too short handed.

Then to top it off, I have to take my staff out for a christmas party tonight!

Sucks Ass!

20 more sleeps till the ring comes out... Had the most unreal urge to do it last nite here at home. She was just looking so damn cute and loveable, but then that would have wrecked an entire year of planning... I want to get this one right! The last time was in some gas station parking lot after fighting about the fact that she was fucking around... Again! (Still!?!). So it's real important I get this one right!

So here's a little history. Why? No reason other than I have an hour before I have to go to work, and I'm feeling a little chatty this morning. My ex-wife (circa mid-nineties) and I were somewhat of a bad match. After 3 years of hell and her screwing everything that moved (including me fortunately), we got married, which lasted all of about nine months till she found herself pregnant, and what with me out of town, it was somewhat hard to tell me it was mine (like she did the first time it happened when we first started dating, and she had an abortion, and it fucked me up and blah blah blah blah!) So that ended that.

Before Nereid was likely the evilist bitch I ever did get involved with who somewhat oddly enough found herself PREGNANT while I was again out of town working (note to self---- get a fuckin in-town job!)

But hey, it's all moot!

My best friend and I had a conversation recently about her bad luck in men. My reply is this... IT IS ALL WORTH IT WHEN IT FINALLY LEADS YOU TO THAT ONE PERSON!
I wouldn't trade my past for anything because it has just been a road to Nereid.

Wow.... some digression.... anyhooo.... So I realized yesterday just how nervous I really am.... You should have seen me in my darkroom at work (did I ever mention I'm a radiographer), looking at the ring (cuz that's where it is hidden, and I start trying to imagine how I'm going to do it... am I going to do it in some fabulous restaurant? Am I going to get down on one knee? etc. etc. etc. And my heart starts beating faster, and harder, and I start getting all jittery. How Pathetic! smile I love it!

I'm sure I had more to say, but I better get ready for work.

20 more sleeps!?

WOW!!!!

What a fantastic weekend. Had to work Saturday for a few hours, but got to spend most of the day with Nereid. Then we took both families (and a couple friends) to the Red Deer College Arts Centre to see The Sound of Music. There is so much amazing talent that comes out of our college arts program. It was amazing.

For the first time...

In One month, Nereid and I will be basking in the California sun for two weeks! Anybody know any good spots to see in San Diego?

I picked up the ring on Friday. It's been sitting in the vault at the jewellers for the past four months. Nereid has absolutely no idea. She's actually been dropping some pretty heavy hints lately that she wants one....

Hospitals Suck Ass!!!

So mom called just after midnight, her heart condition out of control. I go get her and run her to emergency. To their credit, they got her in immediately, then promptly forgot me! So there I was, sitting for two hours wondering what the hell was going on. They suck ass. But mom's fine even tho she has to stay the rest...

Ah, some hospital staff are just like that. I've dealt with real asshole and gems alike.

Glad your mummy's okay smile
nathanial1812:
The shit gets better... I had to work at 5. I called the hospital at 8:45am to see what time they were sending her home. They told me it wouldn't be today. I asked them to let her know I called. Then I called her work to tell them she wouldn't be in today. She called at about 10. No idea that I had called. She was panicked about work... I told her I had already called them and she wondered how I knew to...nice ! THEN.... I stuck my head in at noon between jobs... she was sleeping so I dropped off a couple books and then went to the nurses station to see what was up and when the specialist would be in to see her... for fifteen minutes I stood there and was completely ignored... well not totally... I tried talking to one nurse, and she acknowledged me by informing me she wasn't really there... it was her day off!!

Good Old Albertan Health Care at it's finest... They can all go fuck their hats!

But hey... enough ranting... thanks for the thoughts all... just another reason this site rocks. The support is wonderful!


But nurses CAN go get fucked!
