Wow, my first time, I'm a tagging virgin, and to have my first time to be a royal event wow, I feel so special!!
I am supposed to make a list of 5 things I have done in my life and you have to guess which one is a lie, I'm not a very exciting person, so this list will definitely not be as fabulous as Cat's, but I'll do my best. Vote below in the comments, and I'll post the answer on Friday.
1 - I once worked at a Miss Universe pageant, which was hosted by Alan Thicke - you all rememer Mr. Seaver! and spent most of the time backstage with a can of hairspray spraying the asses of the contestants so that their bathing suits wouldn't ride up while they were doing their walk across the stage.
2 - I've been dating the same guy for almost 12 years
3 - At a previous job, 2 of my co-workers and I would regularly go for a 'liquid lunch break', where we would enjoy not one but 2 giant (4oz) margaritas and then go back to work for the rest of the afternoon way too drunk to be doing our jobs!
4 - I have never smoked a cigarette
5 - I am a trained lifeguard and swimming instructor and scuba diver and have competed in national competitions against other lifeguarding teams to showcase my amazing skills at pulling lifeless bodies out of the water.
I now tag Karina, Jagular, Sheila and TTQ, come on and lie to me!!

happy halloween!!
I went to Starbucks this morning to get a coffee on my way in to work, and they were all dressed up in there, a hot young sailor made me my latte! - I'm not sure if it was the costume or what, but he was pretty cute, definitely a nice way to start the day!!

thursday thirteen... (on friday)
thirteen things I did yesterday that didn't invlove posting my thursday thirteen...
1. I was 20 minutes late for work
2. I had 2 meetings with clients about projects they need done by the end of the month (ie. Tuesday!)
3. I convinced my big boss that due to stress and work pressure we needed Starbucks & he went out and got it for us!
4. I helped HB design his hallowe'en costume
5. I spent an hour talking to HB about the differences between boys and girls
6. I stayed late at work to catch up on the work I wasn't able to get done because of #'s 4 & 5
7. I went to the gym
8. I vacuumed and did the giant pile of dishes that had been sitting beside my sink since Sunday
9. I had toast and 2 glasses of wine - that came from a box! for dinner (yup, I'm extremely classy)
10. I put on my warmest fuzziest pyjamas and my pink slippers
11. I was all excited for Grey's Anatomy only to find out that for some reason (likely sports related) it wasn't a new episode :-(
12. I watched Anger Management instead - quite possibly the worst movie of all time
13. I fell asleep and was woken up in the night with the realization that Thursday had come and gone and I hadn't done my thursday thirteen!

call waiting...
My best friend called me last night, and the start of our conversation was so funny, I seriously thought I might die of laughter...
me: (picks up phone) hello?
her: (sounding a little panicky) hi, finally, I was starting to get worried
me: why??
her: I've been trying to call you for the last 20 minutes but something was wrong with your phone
me: (very confused) what do you mean?
her: well, I would dial your number and then there was silence and then your phone would make this strange beeping noise, like this beeep, beeep, beeep, beeep
me: hysterically laughing, tears streaming down my face, it takes a full minute before I can speak
her: (annoyed) what is so funny, I was really worried
me: um, that's a busy signal, I was on the phone with my Mom!
Apparently I'm the only person she knows who is too cheap to get call waiting!

frustrations...
I tried calling about updating my satellite TV service today, and it didn't go well, why does it have to be so difficult to deal with a big company?? This is basically how our conversation went...
me (happy, and being my usual chipper morning self): Hi, I'd like to get another receiver for my satellite
her (bitter about her job, and obviously doesn't speak englsh well at all): ok, you have receiver ID number
me (still chipper): no, I don't have a receiver, I'd like to get one.
her: ok, you need receiver first before service.
me (a little less chipper): ok but I already have service for one, I'd just like to get another one from you
her: ok, you must buy receiver, it costs $99
me (annoyed): ok, that's fine.
her: I need credit card number from you to pay
me (more annoyed): can't you just add it to my monthly bill that I already receive and I'll pay that way
her: no, you need credit card, you give me number
me (frustrated): I don't have a credit card
her: I can't give you receiver without credit card, you give me number
me (angry): I DON'T have a credit card, can I pay you a different way
her: no, you go to (names a large electronics store) and buy one, then you call back
me: fine (I hang up).
I don't understand this, I have satellite service, I pay my bill ontime every month, I want to upgrade my service, essentially paying you more, and you say no. Just because I don't have a credit card, I can't buy anything from you, so you'd rather I go to a different company, buy a product from them and then activate it with you? How does this make any sense at all?

monday randoms...
I forgot to pick up my paycheque on Friday! I actually forgot!! This has NEVER happened before ever in my life! I realized it yesterday and was so excited to discover what it feels like not to have to live paycheque to paycheque, its amazing!!! (I did however make it a priority to pick it up immediately when I got into work this morning, and will be cashing it on my way home tonight, I can't live that long without it!)
Our office is so cold today, I'm still wearing my jacket & scarf, its very hard to type when your fingers are like little icicles.
I have fettucine alfredo for lunch today, but I really want it to be a salad.
The boy & I found a huge foresty/conservation area with walking trails literally across the street from my house which I had no idea even existed, and I've lived there for 3 years! - apparently I'm not overly observant!
I really need to get my eyebrows waxed
I'm halfway done my Christmas shopping - this has also never happened before.
HB is going to Starbucks to get us coffees and help warm us up so we can continue working - I voted for going home instead, but he said no.
I really need to go to the gym, that is my priority for tonight - that & grocery shopping because I have nothing to eat in my fridge
Today my job is boring me and I'm doing everything possible to avoid actually working - so far so good!
One of my friends told me last night that she & her husband are trying to get pregnant - I am happy for her, but sad for me, she is my most fun friend, and selfishly I know that she'll have less time for me once she is a Mom, also that means that I now only have 1 close friend who doesn't have kids, apparently we are getting to 'that age' - I don't want to be 'that age'.
