October

Funeral

– my mother’s brother died.  He was not my fave person on this planet..I came to terms with my hate for him and decided some years ago that it was not worth my hate; however, I was not going to "like" him either.

– I cried anyways…still not exactly sure why but it is what it is and my heart did slightly ache.  I believe that was because at the end of the day he was a father of 3 kids (my cousins who I have not seen in 10+ years) And if anything happened to my doda it would be earth shattering.  Plus, people do make mistakes and even though he made a few big ones and never did apologize… people are not perfect creatures- I have a much greater understanding and patience for these mistakes now (probably cause I know how many I have made and how much I have changed)

– The cousins contacted us which was slightly awkward but the brunch kinda took the awkward cake

-sidenote how flipping weird does the word "awkward" look :

– We ended up driving to where the youngest cousin worked (at a winery) we met up with them for the brunch

– My brother nor I went to the viewing or funeral part.

– It was interesting to see the boys and how much they have grown…one engaged one with a grilfriend..kinda crazy!

– It did ease up on the oddness… however people were drinking wine at 1030 which could have had alot to do with it! Anyways considering the circumstances it was a good trip and it was good to see the cousins

Accident

– My Babado was in a car accident…he is okay (thank god!) but he is suppose to go get checked out today…I think he might have whiplash (still waiting to hear from him on that) Hoping for the best of course 🙂

– my heart did sink when he told me about it but was so thankful that he and the other dood were okay……I just wanted to hold Babado and not let go

– the dood did not see him and smashed into his passenger side leaving a huge dent on his less than 3 month old new company car.

– It was pretty bad…when he came to pick me up this was not just a scratch the guy hit him pretty good.  The dood took the blame without arguement …so that is good.  He is in a rental car til the repairs are complete.

Happier note

 -Babado bought me a dozen white roses for our 4th anni.  He took me to the keg on friday…it was lovely as is he!

 -Saturday kinda did a day 2 anni as we went out to dinner again but i treated him this time 🙂 went to moxies.  I like when we take turns although he usually takes many more turns than I..(we have had many-a-talk about this …I am trying to deal with it hehe)

– sidenote we def go out for dinner alot! we both enjoy it oh so much 🙂

-we have not been able to spend our weekends together for 2 weeks since I have not had my house to myself- it feels like an eternity since I fell asleep in his arms- I do miss it

Work

– I had my review and it went very well. 

– My boss started it with …last time I saved the best for last this time the best is first- I was first .  I didnt know what to say to that…great start- speechless for my own review !

– We went through my goals…I did not complete them all but she made adjustments and somehow my ranking, I gave myself, of accomplished was pushed up to exceeds.

– We then went through the "character" part….as I call it.  It bascially rates you in terms of your flexibility, how you interact with others etc.  I exceeded once again.

– My over all review came to an exceeds plus (which is what I got last year)

– My boss told me last year that this was extemely hard to get and not to expect it in future (and it is not necessarily based on work ethic and effort so I shouldnt take it personally if I did not get it again)

– Well after last years review I dedicded that was a bunch of hooey and I was striving for "far exceeds" this time. (the hightest level there is)

– I must admit I slacked off a bit so I was not looking for far exceeds by the time this review came around….so I was extremely pleased with the exceeds plus ranking.

– Since there have been alot of changes going on at work when she asked me if I had questions etc…I let her know about my worry for my job.

– she told me she gaurentees I have nothing to worry about….she furthered this by saying she told her boss that if anything happened to me she would quit. (not sure if there is truth in that; but I admit it was very for her to say!)

– I had it in the back of my head that she might bring up Babado….but the closest thing was when she asked me why I didnt put sales as a position I would like to do …in this time- which I explained and she told me she thought I would do well in sales.

– She also told me that if we were going to get bonuses I would be the only one to get one.

– So I am hoping that I get my 8%… 🙂

Babado

– The talks are still on for him to be moved out to the states. It looks like they would want him to move there (not a travelling thing)

– I am trying to not put too much thought into it until we know more details…otherwise I will drive myself nutso trying to figure out what is going to happen

– He is actively looking for another job…he is covering his ground is all.  I helped him with his resume.  Which is something I really need to get on top of…

– Halloween

– well he was schduled to go to a house party for halloween.  I was just going to stay home.  The house party was a work person.

– He told me that L invited me and he wanted me to go.  I told him I didnt think it was a good idea….

– We went out to the keg (see dinner again) on halloween.  We spoke about it more….still was not keen on the idea…I did not know anyone that was going to be there except for the work people and I am not close to any of them.  Once again I keep work and my life very separate (minus my Babado of course lol)

– I ended up waking up yesterday (day of the party) to go on a search for  the pieces for Babados costume

– I did not really expect it to be as difficult as it ended up being.  I left at 10 and did not get home until 4.  I went to Shoppers, Dollar Store, Party Market, 2 different value villages, the bay, zellers, spencers, toy r us, sears, walmart, creepers, and finally party packagers

– needless to say it was quite a bit of driving and walking….but when I finally found the last pieces of his geek costume at party packagers I was thrilled!  I had told him that if I found a costume in the process that I would go to the party…but I didnt.

– I was getting frustrated when going to all these places and not finding what I was looking for….I told him that I wasnt going as I didnt have a costume…but I was much better when I got his all put together

– I was thinking about going…but now I was home and it was 6 and I didnt have a costume.  I finally thought that I could just go as a school girl….since by mistake I found my kilt from highschool.  It was falling off of me but

I did some rolling and got it to work. So, I got ready and he came to pick me up….When I got to the car I said that I wasnt going to go anymore.  I changed my mind- …………….he puts up with alot 😀

– He asked me why I changed my mind…I told him I just did…I really didnt think any of it was a good idea.  I was nervous…these were work people I didnt know any of them…and to top it off I have to pretend that I am not with Babado like when we are at work

– sidenote he picked me up pizza since I did not eat anything- he got veggie cause he knows I like it (very very sweet 🙂

– I just didnt want to go anymore…we got him all changed up and he looked so fricken cute with his beenie propellar hat ,taped glasses hiked up pants and suspenders.  He then told me he really would like for me to come….in a geeky voice.  I couldnt stop laughing.

– I decided to go.

– It was good….I drank way way too much red wine.  L kept pouring me drinks and A kept bring me over to do vodka jello shots- yes wine and vodka ….um not the best combo :

– I spoke quite a bit with A she works with us kinda temp/contract sorta deal…her dad works there.  Very down to earth and cool chick…

– I really did not want to get that smashed but I didnt do anything dumb and I only had to lie once when someone asked if Babado was my boyfriend.  (Once too many… but I do what I have to do…)

– Pretty sure I woke up still drink but doing much better now.

Misc-Halloween

– I carved my pumpkin…I did three cats in the moonlight…it took me a good 2 hours and my hand was going to fall off…but I got alot of comments/compliments on it. 

– My brother took C (the little girl from the chick he is with) out for halloween….he stopped by my house….she was dressed up as a southernbell…. she was cute.

Dentist

– I finally took my butt to the dentist…it has been a very long time.

– I take very good care of my teeth…or at least I try to…and they told me that things were looking good- especially since it has been so long since they last saw me.

-they did this polish thingie on me….it was weird but my teeth were squeeky clean…I took a close up pic of my teeth.  Im a geek like that…hehe

 

and thats that for now….I need to clean my room it is a disaster!  Happy Sunday all… (woohooo to the extra hour)
