Oh Sunday, we have such a love/hate for one another

When you get angry, what do you normally do?I usually become a useless slob when I’m pissed at someone: surf the net, call my parents, take a shower, sleep. You know the normal things. Last night something made me so angry that I couldn’t do any of the above listed because I felt it was being useless, so what better way than to spend 3 hours intensely cleaning the whole apartment? I love it, because the place smells like Mr. Clean, and my desk … oh just look at my desk. This is a big deal folks. Normally I’m quite organized with a lot of things regarding the apartment – but my desk is the only “mine, not yours or ours” thing in the apartment (lol) and sometimes it gets quite out of hand when I neglect it. It looks so pretty now, at least. I wish it wasn’t so ugly though. As you can tell, I tried to decorate it with some ribbon on the bottom of my monitor. Kinda cute? Or major fail? You decide.

Today’s Sunday. This time last week I would have been getting ready for soccer — so instead, I have my bowl of popcorn ready to get popped and waiting to watch thee best show in the house: Desperate Housewives! Apparently someone DIES tonight. I hope it’s Kathryn.

P.S: Don’t forget about:...

Organization of the desk calendar

october-2009-calendarAnyone who lives in South Western Ontario can vouch for me that yesterday was extremely beautiful outside, correct? It was 18ºC out there!! People were wearing tank tops and shorts. Of course we had to go out and enjoy the last bit of weather before the weather turns.

So, what does your month end calendar look like?

All my favorite people’s birthday are in October. Boyfriends, close friends and loved ones. I wonder if that means something? Do I flock towards them subconsciously?

Get this:

Boyfriend’s birthday: October 4
Best friend #1 birthday: October 22
Best friend #2 birthday: October 27
Nephew: October 31

That’s gotta mean something. haha. I always found that pretty interesting.

I hate messing up my calendar. I get paid on Friday’s, the purple $ sign you see scratched out was when I obviously couldn’t do my math right and got confused drawing every second Friday off as a pay day. Ugh. So I had to scratch it out. Unfortunately I do not get paid three times in October. Whatevs. It’ll be more exciting getting paid 3x a month come JANUARRRRRY.

November is looking pretty similar though too.

Annnnyway, onto more organizing for the week. Here’s my menu plan. I really need to get rid of a lot of things in our freezer (it’s the type that’s attached to the refrigerator, so it’s JAM.PACKED with pork chops and other frozen stuff that was on sale.)

Monday: Macaroni and Cheese
Tuesday: Chicken, mashed potatoes, and carrots (we bought a 10lb bag of potatoes!!)
Wednesday: Pork tenderloin marinade (without the pork tenderloin, just reg. boneless chops), with roasted potatoes, and broccoli
Thursday: Chicken penne alla vodka (Haven’t made this in aaaages. It’s so high in fat. Any recommendations for a replacement of Whipping Cream? I’m also going to replace the penne pasta with large shell pasta that was something likr $0.75 for a huge monster bag)
Friday: Frozen pizza (also on sale. We have three in the freezer)
Saturday: Honey garlic pork stir fry. (I haven’t had honey garlic on anything but chicken before, so hopefully this will be edible.)

Most of these meals can be found on my recipe page. I also plan on making jube-jube cake this week. MMMM. My Mom’s (grandmas?) old recipe. I haven’t had it in years. But it’s super easy to make. I’m stoked!

Our local mall was in renovations for the last 8 months or so, and from October 15—17 they’re having a grand opening of a … “hallway” of stores(?) Hey, it’s Friday so I’m allowed to have brain-freezes. What I was most excited for was Bath & Body Works, and Victoria Secret PINK! And guess what, I drove there.

I left after supper so only (lol)  had two hours to check out all the new wonderful stores. I spent most of my time in the two mentioned, but what I was also excited to see was a Teaopia.  I’m not a huge fan of tea, mainly because I tend to sweeten it too much for myself.

I would show you the purchases that I got, but I forgot to e-mail them to myself last night. If you’re a flickr friend you can view them on there. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait til tomorrow. Sad loss, I know.

During lunch I have to take my car (HEHEHEHE!!!) to get a drive safe test done. It’s not that far away from work, and apparently it only takes 30 minutes + $35 to do it. Not bad. I mean, it’s necessary as I still only have a temp sticker on my license plates (10 days max). So I need the emissions test done before I get an “October 2010” sticker from the moto vehicle registration office.

I don’t really have much to talk about today.
