Holiday Season Party

Well today is my last day of work till the 2nd of January so I am tickled . As well my good friend's Veronica and Rico are throwing a bash tonight to celebrate the holiday's.

I am looking forward to this event, their will be appy's , cocktails, friends need I say more.

As well The final plans are in the works for the trip to the lake . We are going out to celebrate new years, but are going for a Five day stint . I think I am looking more forward to this than Christmas . Big Bitch will be in heaven.


Christmas we are heading to speedy Creek for family christmas with vinnie's family. Four 1/2 hours their and four 1/2 hours back sleep for eight hours open presents for two hours eat for probably two hours. This is a first as we have never been invited before . I'm sure we will have a great time.

Big bitch has to go to a kennel but we have to take her their on the 23rd and can't pick her up till the 27th , NO PICKING UP ON BOXING DAY. What kind of a flipping place is this. So are they just going to put the dogs in cages and lock the doors for 4 days Is anyone going to feed them ? walk them ? play with them ?

I think somebody is just being a dink. or It is a prison camp for dogs instead. It was the only place that had space so we have no choice.


On a another note went to the Doc yesterday and I am still on half days till the 12th of January, That is my next check up.

Later

The Break Down

Ok !

I have to start this by telling you Saskatchewan people Rock!!

I along with Veronica and Ricco were on our way to Regina for the annual Dinner Theatre in which we do the catering .

We headed out on our trek, we stopped at the 7 Up cafe had Dinner about 7:30 and then back on the road.

When I started the trusty Jeep I was quite surprised the engine light came on ? Hmm

So we were off I was watching the gauges and checking to see if their was any other issues and low and behold the charging gauge was not registering to fair . But we were in the middle of nowhere so we just kept trucking . When we got to Watrous I knew we could not go on I slowed down and the jeep actually stopped and would not start. we waited a few minutes and the jeep started so we turned around and drove back into Watrous . I made it to the GM dealer and it died right in their driveway .

By this time it was about 9:30 and of course everything was closed up . Well low and behold someone drove in while we were their. It happened to be one of the owners. Wow what a nice guy he did what he could to get us going again and lent us a battery pack in which he figured we would make it to Regina.

Well we made it as far as Imperial Sask and the sucker Died. Dead.

We called 911 of course Veronica had to use her cell phone as mine would not pick up a signal . So we got a tow truck coming. We then called our friend Sophia from Strassbourg who happened to be waiting in Regina for us and asked her to come get us.

All is well we are getting cold but the Tow truck was on the way as well as a trusted friend.

Tow truck guy came started to load the jeep while a guy drives by and say's Everything OK ? I reply yeah were Ok . He then says You've got Leather Seats
I say yes as he drives away ??????

He then turns around comes back and asks where are we heading we told him we were going to the bar to wait for our friend.

He then says well just throw your stuff in the back of my truck and I will take you to the Bar. I did notice you have leather seats.

Ok He has a fetish i Guess???
But we get in to his truck and he heads to the bar. We get to the bar IT is Closed.

He says well I'll just take you to my other bar it's only a couple miles out of town.

WHOA baby now I was starting to think we are going to be cut up and butchered for sure. Probably on leather seats .

But of course being from SK everyone is trustworthy so away we go.

He then tells us the only reason he stopped was he had a jeep exactly the same color year same tires etc. and he thought we had stolen his jeep.

Well we get to his bar (his farm quonset) and proceed to drink lot's of drinks

We had a wonderful time , stayed their and drank till 2:30 in the morning woke up his wife and on and on.

Our Hero


We made it back to regina at 4:30 am and we had to cater that day for around 260 people. Let's just say the bed time that night did not come soon enough.






So it was the alternator and the nice people in watrous fixed it all up for me and had it ready for our trek home on sunday.

Really Smart P.A Duck Hunters

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM PRINCE ALBERT?
ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY HEARD ON A SASKATOON RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT.

A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator from Merlin
Motors in Saskatoon for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments of $560.00).
He and a friend go duck hunting at Tobin Lake in
mid-October; and of course the lake is frozen.
These two guys go on a lake with their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the New NAVIGATOR.
They decide they want to make a natural looking
water area for the ducks, something for the decoys to float on. Now making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck, is going to take a little more
power than the average drill auger can produce.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a
stick of dynamite with a short 40 second-fuse. Now our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they might slip on the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse (and becoming toast, along with the Navigator), decide on the following course of action: they light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they
throw the stick of dynamite as far away as possible.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I
mentioned the NAVIGATOR, the GUNS, and the DOG...???
Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING!!! Especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it: the dog takes off
across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning 40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.
The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with veins in their necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps coming. One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. !
The shotgun is loaded with #8 bird shot, hardly big
enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused then continues on.
Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of course terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator.
The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot
exhaust pipe on the truck touches the dogs rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under the truck and takes off after his master.
Then""""""""""BOOOOOOOOOOOOM""""""""""!!!!

The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom
of the lake, leaving the two idiots standing there with......"I can't believe this just happened" looks on their faces.

The SGI insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy. ( How about ICBC?) He still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments...The dog is okay...

AND THEY MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE IN NEWFOUNDLAND?

Operation Part Trois

Ok I have to confess I have been a little down since the operation well not really down as I have been heavily medicated and all, ok I have been at times in the past two weeks in lala land. I have had so much on the go but have not been able to get up and run around like my usual nerotic self.

My insicion has been healing no sign of infection everything is going great . I have been a little concerned about the pain in my leg and inner upper thigh but I'm not a doctor (I did play one once in a little number called Tell me you Love me Junie Moon).

Anyway the pain has been hanging around and I thought maybe I should go back to the doctor just to check it out make sure everything is ok.

So I made an appointment with my regular Doctor not the Physician who cut me open .

So he says to me in a very positive happy voice well we got the pathology tests back and their was no cancer .

CANCER what the hell are you talking about ?

Well I guess when they were in their fiddling around they could not find the pinched nerve so they kept fiddling until they found it.

Well low and behold they found my lymph node (some people call them lymph gland) it was well quite large and had a nice little growth all around it . It was part of the problem.

So they removed it .

Important part here: they did not tell me . I am quite happy they did not as I would have been a basket case for the past two weeks.

It all makes sense now as my recovery is taking way longer than expected.

I am on 1/2 days at work untill further notice.

So now I am one lymph node short of a few hundred. or he's one node short of a load.

Ok so I am happy and and recovering that is the main thing .

All is good in the land of Bruno.

For those of you like myself who do not know anything about lymph nodes here you go.



Lymph nodes are components of the lymphatic system. They are occasionally called "lymph glands", but as they do not secrete substances, this is incorrect terminology. Lymph nodes act as filters, with an internal honeycomb of connective tissue filled with lymphocytes that collect and destroy bacteria and viruses. When the body is fighting an infection, lymphocytes multiply rapidly and produce a characteristic swelling of the lymph nodes. Humans have approximately 500-600 lymph nodes distributed throughout the body, with clusters found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen.

Festival Weekend 2006

Well here we go, me hobbling along on our way to Speedy Creek . 4 1/2 hour drive not really what I feel like doing but It's Festival .

No meds today as I know my friend Wilma will be waiting with a martini (we haven't seen each other in way to long) a good martini with Wilma is well overdue.

Oh my god was the drive painful S'toon to Flowertown was GROSS that's the only way to describe it.

I just wanted to lay down.

The festival was great got to see old friends laugh, drink, shoot the shit etc it was a wonderful festival.

Got to see six plays some were Awesome some not so awesome but that is the whole point of our ActOne Festival. It is everyyear a learning experience for all that participate .

This was our second festival as our little group is just over a year old. Last year we did a little number and came home with Runner up to best play , we were so thrilled as this was our first production.

Well this year we did a little bigger number with four new people.
We took home:
Best Play
Best Director
Technical BackStage award
One Acting award



Well I do have to say the entire cast and crew were thrilled beyond our dreams as we did not expect to win anything.

So our Saturday evening green room was of course fabulous . One of our cast members made us all Balloon hats they were all so crazy .







A great time was had by all Except the security guard at our hotel he was one unhappy camper. I wish I had a picture of him as a picture speaks a thousand words . And let me tell you we were a thorn in his patuttie, Long into the we hours of the morning.

Then what a great surprise we got when we came home on Sunday Vinnie had prepared us all a great beef stew dinner with home made scones and dessert. What a wonderful end to a weekend.

Performance at St Mary's

Well we did it .

My cast and crew made me proud . We had over a hundred people attend our performance it was a great success . What a great little theatre .

I am so proud of everyone.

We even made the Arts page in our local paper.Big picture and a whole article .
It is quite interesting though that what was printed is not what was said .

Oh well any publicity is good publicity even if they bamboozle you during the interview.

One more week and we head out to Speedy Creek for the Provincial Festival

Operation Part Deux

I arrive at RUH for my designated appointment which is 6:30 am at admitting . I am the first one their and I am sparked and ready to go . With my sidekick Flo.

I stayed overnight at Flo's and she drove me to the hospital . I told her I would call her when I was ready to be picked up. She was having no part of that she brought her water a jug of coffee and a book and a purse full of other goodies. She was here for the duration.

After surgery she is to take me to her place then Vinnie is picking me up and taking me home .
I will be in my own bed and at home safe and sound. She does not leave my side No one is going to hurt her baby.
I answer questions and get a beautiful little bracelet. We then proceed to outpatients a few desks in a hallway Hmm no lights on no one around what the *5*#? We wait and wait and wait . Then along comes a woman who turns on the lights opens doors then proceeds to bring out chair after chair after chair .
We must be going to play musical chairs.

By this time their is about 10 people behind me waiting their was gallbladder guy , intestine woman and of course I can't forget tumour head .
I mean he was getting a tumour removed from his head. It was like watching a bad movie in slow mo with no drugs.


So the woman then announces who's first Of course being the King of the Que I stepped forward and said I am.

I answer questions (same ones) and then she takes me into this big room with six beds She says you are in number 1 and this is your locker you can strip and put on your RUH supplied nightgown robe and slippers.

a

Ok I have never worn a night gown in my life what's up with that?
So Flo goes into the waiting area and I proceed to put on my wonderful nightgown . My curtain keeps wisping open as person after person is escorted to their designated beds. I flash almost all of them not on purpose .

Ok I am ready to go the nursy comes back ask me some questions (same ones) then tells me the doctor will be in to see me soon . Flo is back by my side I am now naked under this beautiful nightgown with the gentle breeze flowing . Doctor comes in meets Flo ask's me questions (same ones) and say s he will see me in the OR. He then get's me to stand up and puts a big X on my left leg . He got it right good so far.

I am then called to the hallway i think I must have won a prize but no me and gallbladder guy are on our way to pre op.

So with my trusty sidekick beside we are off

We arrive in this huge room that looks like a library it has cubicles everywhere and more doctors and nurses than you can shake a stick at. They were everywhere.

It was like Greys anatomy interns everywhere.

So another nursery comes along asks me questions (same ones) and tells me drug guy will be along in a minute.

So along comes drug guy wearing Nike running shoes Hmm weird

Then he introduces himself asks questions (same ones) then he proceeds to tell me about the dangers of being put out the percentage of deaths and brain damage etc etc , all good stuff I do not know if this was the time to go running and screaming but i missed my chance. He then tells me their could be a possibility of damage to my crowns on my teeth he says he is batting 100 and i think ok this guy is 50 what are the chances probably pretty good in my favour that he willl do some damage. wait a minute what the hell are they putting in my mouth taht is that big or hard that could brake my crowns? I have heard stories about people being abused while they are under but i think that is a little rediculous .

Anyway he said i will see you in the OR he winked at me and left. Ok when is this weirdness going to stop. who is behind this practical joke Halloween surgery its all making sense now.


Ok a nursey come gets me says it time we are off i say goodbye to Flo she says see you in recovery.
We walk the gauntlet we pass my surgeon he casually says hello in a funny kinda way says see you in their.

She opens the door and oh my god shiny clean bright lights lots of people and i only recognize one guy at this party Drug guy i guess in a way he is the man i need to know .
a


So nursey says get up on the table I do and before you can lick your lips they are all at me hands and arms undoing things touching me taking my extremities untieing my nightgown , what kind of a party is this . Ok so then drug guy says this nurse is going to insert an IV in your hand you won't feel a thing then we will be giving you
some oxygen.

Well this Fetus with a manual stabbed me with the needle the drug guy and her are arguing and he is saying not so deep then he starts yelling at her all of a sudden he starts hitting me in the shoulder and says i am just trying to distract you while she does your hand . Ok now my hand hurts and my shoulder hurts what sense did that make ?

Ok then nursey on the other side of me starts commenting on my Tattoos and starts circling them with her finger and says i really like your Tatoos she then says i am going to give you some oxygen take a deep breath another and another

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I wake up in post op what a night mare I swear all the nurses that work in post op were trained by Hitler.




And their was Flo.

I was in major pain i asked for meds they said sorry you had enough .

So i figured The squeaky wheel gets the grease so I started screaming and yelling out of nowhere came a tall smiling nurse she handed me a little white pill and said this will make you feel better.

10 minutes latter i was in heaven pain what pain ?


So flo starts to tell me the surgery was more invasive than planned and i had to stay overnight. I have a drain tube attached to me that has to be removed.

OH no i don't not me no comprende I am going home.

The nurse came in and took Flo to the waiting room she must have heard the cafluffle , I heard her say to Flo you can just wait in here and read your book.

Nursey come back ask's me if i would like some toast with cheese whiz I am up for it. so i chow down then nursey says i think you need to sleep abit

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ


I awake in peace no pain the drugs are working i lay their for about 1/2 an hour

then nursey comes in and says if your ready you can get dressed and go home.

I must have been having a nightmare stay overnight what was that hogwash.

So I get dressed and go # 1 then get into the wheelchair and Flo enters me into the Indy 500 oh my god was that crazy . Note to self get Flo to get her eyes checked.


We ran into more things and crashed into more walls and people (i really do want to forget this part).

Off to Flo's house

On her deck have that long awaited Smoke. wonderful

I come back in and she tells me i am staying overnight as i have to be back at the doctors at 12:30.

I say NO way Vinnie is picking me up I am going home

Vinnie picked me up I made it home

I will call the doctor Tomorrow

Happy Halloween

Why Halloween is better than sex.



10. You're guaranteed to get a little something in the sack.


9. The uglier you are, the easier it is to get some.


8. It doesn't matter if the kids hear you moaning and groaning.


7. Dressing up and fantasizing isn't considered kinky.


6. It doesn't matter if they fantasize you're somebody else, because you are.


5. Forty years from now, you'll still enjoy candy.


4. If you don't get what you want, you can always go next door.


3. If you get tired, you can wait 10 minutes and go again.


2. You don't have to compliment the person who gives you some.


AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON HALLOWEEN IS BETTER THAN SEX.....





1. You can do the whole neighborhood!

Syrup Fiasco




ok here are some peeks at the syrup Fiasco

I cannot believe I can be so stupid some times , ok more than just sometimes

but i am starting to wonder if these events are a spinoff from my pal Wilma as she seems to be around me when i do these dumb things as she has openly admitted that she is clutzy Hmmm Things that make yuou go Hmmm

Spidey 1 & 2




ok I had to share these

Lounging At the Lake




Big Bitch , Clifford (Fang) and Binx lounging at the lake , as you can tell Binx was really lounging she was a wild woman this past summer Hmm they say women go wild on holidays maybe their is some truth to that!

Queen Jemma's 2nd Birthday


What can i say she's so Cute

Big Bitch goes Crazy




I could not believe my eyes , I was working in the house and Big Bitch was on her leash in the side yard ans she was going nuts .

I went outside to find out what she was woofing about and here this Crazed psychotic Squirrel was stuck to the side of my house up on the second floor. Well big bitch wanted to eat the little critter but we couldn't have that . He or she was so scared just shaking and chirping he did get down on his own though .

My long lost cousin



A really great visit from my cousin Victoria Lyons . She surprised me at the cottage one day while i was on vacation.

Her and the family stopped in for a great visit . It was the first time i have seen her since the wedding . She lives in Cambridge bay NWT so it has been a while since i have seen her.

It was great to see she has not lost her sense of humour and is still my Cuz.
She is one of the 5 of us cousins all born in the same year. You can just imagine the terror we were when we all got together . I remember those good old days .

A visit from Friends


I was recently visited by my Old pal Squirly

She came up and spent the night, along with her came her new man .

It was an awesome evening and it was full of Vino Rosa and Vino Blanco not too much though as I did have to work the next day.

It was really nice to meet her new man that I have heard so much about .

He really is a cutie.

He had to go back home ( Hawaii)

But now she is gone to visit him and she won't be home till 2007

how's that for a little visit.

New appliances



I never new i would be so thrilled


But i bought a new dishwasher and a new dryer

it was all so exciting

The dryer is so quiet it's amazing

The dishwasher cleans the dishes awesome .

I hate doing dishes everything goes in the dishwasher.

I really had no choice with the dishwasher as I asked Vinnie if we could get a cunswaylo to cook clean etc and of course do dishes but he said NO .

So a new dishwasher arrived I secretly call her cunswaylo hehe.

I say to myself I guess i should throw a load into Cunswaylo.

I'm Alive

Ok don't have a heart attack

I actually had some time to get back on line.

I do not know where to start but here goes.

Since Aug lot's of things have happened in my life.

Big Bitch Crack sniffer has become unruly she barks every time i try to Talk to Vinny or as soon as I pick up the phone.

I have tried the muzzle thing but it only works when she has the muzzle on.

I bought her a big new bed from Cosco yes my friend Veronica took me to Cosco.

So she lays on the new bed only when i am watching when i go to bed she goes back to sleeping on the couch .

So now before i go to bed i put all the couch cushions on end so she has to sleep on her new bed . I am sure it will take years of this training to break her of that bad habit of sleeping on the couch.

It was a whirl wind tour to Vagina and back .

We went their to pick up my new jeep I bought and that was part of the deal i had to go to Cosco with her . ( more about the jeep Later)

Wilma is the only one who will really understands why i needed a jeep she was with me during the Oct Blizzard of 2004 .

Pool Table



THE BEGINNING




LOOKED LIKE ORGANIZATION TO ME



MY TRUSTY SIDEKICK




THE ENGINEER



CONTEMPLATING



THE SLATE




SCRAPING EXCESS FILL





A PLAN


Well I do not know where to begin with this one .

Long and short of it we bought a pool table on the August long weekend for the Cottage.

Knowing nothing about pool table construction re: assembly or I should say reassembly .

I watched in amasement (i consider myself a pro at this ) as people were scuring around putting pieces here and their. It actually looked like they knew what they were doing .

My thoughts were " oh this will be taken care of they will have this put together in a flash" .

Much to my amasement I arrived at the cottage on the Sept long weekend and it looked exactly as it did on the august long weekend.

My thoughts were was their a strike ? I did not hear about, did the workers get the plague I was quite dumbfounded .

I will keep you updated on the reassembly calender.

Remembering the Bird House Caper

Let me Explain
My Friend Veronica had received a bird house at a Christmas party but it took her months maybe even years to actually get it in her home. Then mysteriously it disappeared only to re-appear at a silent auction to be sold to the highest bidder.











Martini Mishap

This is what happens when you are making a 3rd or 4th martini and you don't put the lid back on the shaker !!!!!!!!!

By the way it wasn't me it was my friend Ricco. And he wasn't even drinking martini's




My Friend Ricco


And as you can see he is scraping the spilled martini back into a martini glass, what next. I always say never let a boy do a man's job.

Blogging Bloggers

I have now had 3 hours of my life sucked away trying to figure this whole blog thing out .

I think i did it but i can't believe i could be so daft .

Anyway it's done I posted a picture of Big Bitch crack sniffing Ho Dawg

she really is trained to sniff for crack.

I finally did it.

Ok so I have been harassed and poked and proded to do this so here it is , My first post . I really do not know where to begin as I have so much to say and so little time.

As most people know I am quite shy . So it may take a while before I open up to all of you in the world wide web.

So friday (the 25th)I was driving down 6th Ave East and their was a truck in the lane next to me heading north he was doing the same speed as me and then all of a sudden he took off like a magpie on speed . Well 3 seconds latter a flipping mattress comes flying out of his truck through the air heading straight for me I slammed on the brakes just hoping the truck behind me wasn't going to ram me . Talk about idiotic people with no brains. Then he stops in the middle of traffic and spins a u turn cutting off all the traffic coming the other direction. How are these people still alive ? You would think someone that stupid would have been hit by a bus by now .
