Another weekend...

I'm gonna give y'all the lowdown on this cool chick's weekend (sputter, cough, gag)...

Friday, I was stood up...yet again...by cute boy mentioned a gazillion blogs ago...  What makes me particularly pathetic folks...is that this bloke has either stood me up or cancelled on me approximately 8 out of 10 dates.  So while I blissfully made it to date 2...I'm thinking that's all folks.  Yeah...I'm slow...  Sigh...just kept hoping he was telling the truth ...  It's so hard to find a dude I'm actually attracted to dammit!!

Ah well...I finished the first Twilight book.  Listened to some Guns N Roses...was feeling all melancholy and shit...Don't Cry gets me everytime!  I'm such a sap :)  Fell asleep on the couch wrapped in a blanket my mom made me for my birthday...

Saturday morning I coloured my hair.  My sister sent me a box of hair colour for Christmas, and I have to say, that while I appreciated the practicality of the gift, and the intent that I spend some time pampering myself, it definitely rates as one of the oddest gifts ever received for Christmas.  Not the oddest...that prize goes to Nona Stravato... Each year she gave practical gifts too...  like a jumbo box of baby wipes...or saran wrap...once even, a jumbo box of black garbage bags...  It's all good though and it made me smile, which is what I suspect my sister thought it would do.  Within a couple of hours I was transformed into hot mahogany brown cherry highlighted momma...

And then the boys showed up with XX.  I had purchased the three of them tickets to Monster Jam truck rally for Christmas..and tonight was the night.  The plan was they would hang out with me throughout the day..go to the truck show (dirt and noise...yay) and then sleep over.  XX in the roomate's bed and the boys, dismissing the normal beds I usually make up for them, insisted on sleeping with me.  God bless their cotton socks.

Side note...I kicked ass in the kitchen that day!!  I love cooking for other people and so I whipped up this fantastic brunch...biscuits, bacon, plain scrambled eggs for boys and a scrambled egg experiment that was fanfrickintastic!  Try using red pepper garlic oil...saute ham and onion, add beaten eggs and stir 'till cooked, then add mozzarella cheese...voila!  Heaven!  For supper I made my famous Sheppard's Pie..and I'm not sharing the recipe.  plththtth

Sigh...I miss having people to cook for :(

Throughout the day the boys played with the Wii.  Words will never quite give justice to what I witness when these two little monkeys are boxing each other.  Not really having a clue what they are supposed to be doing, they both frantically shake the handheld remotes and nunchucks while doing this funky chicken dance...but they are quite serious.  And much to Saminator's very open dismay, Red usually beats the crap out him.  That kid is vicious my friends!  The best part is the celebration at the end...hands in the air, butt waggin...dancing in circles...

Nah..they aren't too competitive....

So Saturday night as I waited for the boys to get home, I read a little, played around on the computer...and watched Bridget Jones on TV.  As if I need anymore depressing truths on dating....

Boys came home...put them in my bed, went back to movie.

Now, Imma need to skip the next half hour because I donna wanna vent here... suffice it to say my XX is a jackass.  End of brief episode.

Into bed I crawl with 2 sleeping angels.  Listened to grinding teeth (oh me nerves), fought suffocation throughout night as the older one likes to throw arms and legs and half his body over me as if I'm just a lump in the bed...the little one peed and wasn't wearing a pullup (oh that was so not cool dude)...I removed feet from my ass, took a few elbows to the boobs...it was a GREAT sleep!  LOL...  But when I look at those peaceful little faces I really could care less about that...I miss them :)

So this morning, they were up and away for Saminator's hockey game back in Brantford for 8...and I had a day to myself, at home.

I hopped in the shower anticipating the arrival of the cleaning lady, Lisa at around 8...wanting to be out of her way.  I had pee to wash out of my bedding and wanted to bake a bit before doing a bit of shopping.  All of this I did. PS cookies went for shit.  Don't leave to cool for 3 hours whilst shopping...especially if they all kinda baked into each other.  Ended up breaking many of them as I removed them from my Pampered Chef baking sheet.  They are now saddest looking cookies on planet.

And I lost my train of thought again....

Oh yeah...

It was nice to finally chat with Lisa .. usually I'm not home when she gets there.  I think I may have found a new friend here in this big ole city.  She's a lovely lady about my age who came to Toronto from Grenada.  She's beautiful, single, levelheaded and hardworking.  She could care less about finding a man, says it's not stopping her from doin' her ting...  My kinda chicklet.  :)  Will have to have that girl over for movies, pizza and ice cream soon!

So really...it was a strange weekend...  Started out a little disappointing but ended nicely.

And here I am, Sunday evening.  Most dreaded night of the week for Singleton, if I may steal from my friend Bridget.

Here's to smiling, hoping and keeping da faith :)
