Neighbours are moving in today and they parked the moving truck in front of my driveway.<br />
Nope. No one is going to use the driveway until 6pm.<br />
But they don't know that.<br />
Normal people would ask if it's ok.<br />
We asked when we moved in, and even though the guy was rude about it he said he had no problem if we blocked his car in for a few hours.<br />
It's a small road we're on, so I understand there is no other option but to block someone's driveway...but if it's going to be mine I expect you to at least show your face at my door to let me know.<br />

YAY!!!<div><br /></div><div>Just wanted to toot my own horn for a second. The last few weeks I have been doing a menu for the week, and I'm doing this for 2 reasons. First, it's easier to only shop once when you've planned for the week. Secondly, if I have a plan I will be less likely to get annoyed at having to figure something out and order a pizza.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have managed to feed us for about $100 a week, which I've been pretty impressed with. I'm not serving garbage meals either, I spend a good amount of time and effort planning yummy and healthy meals. </div><div><br /></div><div>I also need to invest in a good roasting pan after discovering how cheap a whole chicken is. Or I cook try to dig up that part of my brain from college where I learned how to dissect a chicken. I think I may have buried it in the "Animal Crulty" section...but it's possible I was smart enough to put it in the "Hey...this is something I can use later in life" area of my brain.</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-7242801531390043692012-01-20T11:16:00.002-05:002012-01-20T11:20:09.964-05:00another step...So we booked the DJ last night!<div><br /></div><div>Had a lot of fun picking out Must Play and Do Not play song lists.</div><div><br /></div><div>They looks like a really good company and I'm excited to use them.</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-89940440700077156512012-01-19T12:15:00.003-05:002012-01-19T12:18:37.774-05:00why do i do this to myself?Michael Smith is the single most annoying man ever!

It's honestly been quite a struggle. <div><br /></div><div>It's not that I'm hungry, the lemonade is actually really good and keeps me feeling full, but I have a need to chew something. Anything. I'm not even supposed to chew gum. Apparently the first 4 days are the worst so hopefully I start regaining energy and my primal need to chew starts to decline. But who knows. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have lost some weight as well (and who wouldn't) but I'm pretty sure most of it is because there is nothing inside me, just organs and blood. Although eating nothing for 4 days I must have lost a couple of real pounds. </div><div><br /></div><div>Will is being very supportive, which is helping so much. Especially since there is an unopened bag of my favourite Miss Vickies chips in the cupboard, and last night Will sat beside me and ate Lindt chocolate...that bastard. I asked him if he expected me to succeed at this and he said he really had no expectations of it, he really had no idea. He said he will support me while I do this and support me the second I decide to stop. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am being a realist about this, I will not let this become a sentence. </div><div><br /></div><div>But on to something less lemon-y.</div><div><br /></div><div>We are making arrangements with the DJ company for our wedding to make our down payment. We are getting a cheaper rate because our wedding is in the "off-season"...there is no off-season for weddings, but whatever. </div><div><br /></div><div>We've also got our rings picked out but we need to go get Will's finger measured as he has never worn a ring before and have NO idea what size he would be. He also is concerned because he is apparently the only person in the whole world with big knuckles...uh huh. He's so unique. </div><div><br /></div><div>I need to make another trip into CP soon to order my dress. I've definitely decided which dress I want and I'm very excited about it. I love going out there, I'll be able to mooch a good meal off my parents. YES!</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-45835990256326165182012-01-10T11:45:00.003-05:002012-01-10T11:50:21.650-05:00Day 2I always forget to blog, even when interesting things happens. Then it just seems pathetic to blog about them a month later.<div><br /></div><div>Well anyway, I am on my second day of the master cleanse and I'm feeling fine. The lemonade is actually totally yummy and so far the salt water flush is unnecessary...my body is doing that on its own. We'll see how this goes...if it starts effecting my mood or anything negatively I'll be stopping. I've always been interested in trying this cleanse but I'm not willing to torture myself. But like I said, it's great right now. I feel fine, no headaches, still have energy during the day (although last night I was tired around 8:30). </div><div><br /></div><div>Guess I'll do my best to keep you updated during my cleanse. I have to get some laxative tea for day 3-10 to ensure I keep "evacuating"....I've never had a problem with that...</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-14572693119026987282011-12-28T01:24:00.003-05:002011-12-28T01:38:43.989-05:00who else can you talk about ass-pubes with?I haven't been able to blog much lately...<div><br /></div><div>Like I have SUCH an exciting life that I get distracted...no that's not it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lots has been going on but my lack of blogging is due to not wanting to bore you with emotional, badly written novels about my sister.</div><div><br /></div><div>They leave tomorrow morning. My sister, Dan and the babies. </div><div><br /></div><div>Will and I are driving to the airport to say goodbye tomorrow morning...very early.</div><div><br /></div><div>Holly said I owed her a coffee if I cried, lol. Funny shit, Holly. That means I'm already in debt to her 20-30 coffees...</div><div><br /></div><div>Riley and Miles made me realize emotions I had that I had no idea I could experience, and them moving is the same. I had no idea I could be <b>so</b> sad about something. </div><div><br /></div><div>Holly said I was kinda hermet like the other day...she's right...except with her. I would/will always make time for my sister. No questions asked.</div><div><br /></div><div>I can't believe sh'es not gonna be across the street from me anymore. </div><div><br /></div><div>The furthest we've been is a 4 hour drive...I don't know if I can handle her being in a different province.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is all very selfish of me, I realize. This is the best thing for her and her family and I'm excited for her to start her new life and make friends and tell me all about it. Don't get me wrong. I'm so pumped for her. This is an amazing opportunity! </div><div><br /></div><div>I could always tell Holly anything; no matter how disgusting, graphic, horrible, self serving, ridiculous or alcoholic without judgement. She had always experienced everything I needed advice about so she is my sounding board...thank god for Skype! </div><div><br /></div><div>This is a great decision for them and I'm happy Holly and her family is going to have a great life! It's going to be awesome when I get to come visit cause I've never been to Alberta and hopefully I can go in February sometime.</div><div><br /></div><div>I can't sleep though...Holly is like my bestfriend...I need her and I'm terribly upset she's leaving...I'm gonna be abusing Skype like crazy! </div><div><br /></div><div>But again...I remind myself that this the best decision for her family and a great opportunity and I'm comforted a little that at the very least she'll be Alberta-rich!</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-11909890466144727932011-12-04T20:11:00.006-05:002011-12-04T20:21:02.998-05:00Good weekend<div style="text-align: left;">Will and I are having a lovely weekend together.</div><div><div><div><br /></div><div>Saturday we cleaned the basement, returned out empties (got 36 bucks back!) and had a small pizza dinner.

Well not shaving my armpits is not an option, and...well...one other place that I refuse to let get...bushy...so I just stick with the legs. This year I only lasted 3 days...what a loser I am. Last year I didn't shave at all in November and man was I uncomfortable by the end of the month. Word got around work (when I had a job) and all the girls wanted to see (and some touch) my man legs...the guys were pretty repelled.

Dan is leaving tomorrow morning for Alberta so he planned to stay the night here anyway and we were going to take him to the airport on Saturday. I thought it would be fun if Holly came out as well and we could spend an evening eating appetizers, drinking wine and watching shitty movies. That way we could spend one final time, the four of us, with no baby responsibilities, and Holly could drive Dan to the airport in the morning and be able to say goodbye there. They should be out here sometime in the late afternoon and I have some prep work to do for all the food I'm making!</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-84706044124186121112011-11-23T08:32:00.002-05:002011-11-23T08:33:04.516-05:00My cats knocked everything over and smashed multiple glasses this morning, our power is gonna be off for like 5 hours today and my uninsulated house is freezing.<div><br /></div><div>Happy Wednesday, all!</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-67417969321700261962011-11-21T13:09:00.002-05:002011-11-21T13:15:25.834-05:00Oh Em Gee...finally!<div><br /></div><div>As you may remember I was laid off in September, and then fired from another job at the end of September...shitty balls.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've been trying to get approved for EI since the first layoff. I've been appealed, questioned and denied...more then once. </div><div><br /></div><div>They sent me a questionnaire about why I was fired to determine if I could receive EI from that, I received the questionnaire on a Friday, filled it out, and send it back on Monday. That Wednesday I received a letter saying I was denied because I hadn't sent the questionnaire back fast enough. So then I had to appeal that decision. Another office in Service Canada sent me a letter denying my EI because I hadn't been filling out my reports...which I hadn't been doing because my EI was denied. </div><div><br /></div><div>All very confusing but finally this morning I received a letter confirming they reviewed my appeal and "rescinded" their decision to deny me. Once both of my severance amounts are deducted I'll start receiving money...good timing too cause the way it was looking no one was gonna get anything for Christmas.</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-66784580520330558632011-11-21T11:11:00.001-05:002011-11-21T11:11:56.154-05:00Feed Me!!!!<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Uj1UFrukyt4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-45045891976404743932011-11-16T13:44:00.003-05:002011-11-16T13:50:30.515-05:00Cleaning Day!I always find it best to do as much cleaning before lunch as possible, as I lose total motivation after even just a snack.<div><br /></div><div>So are 11:30ish I started my cleaning. </div><div><br /></div><div>Living room and kitchen - top to bottom, 3 loads of laundry, drain unclogged, sheets changed, kitty shit-boxes cleaned...then I needed a snack...dammit. </div><div><br /></div><div>Well Holly stopped by to get some food. The movers are there today to officially move them out of this shit-hole. So after she left I sat down for a quick snack with plans to clean the bathroom and organize some bedroom stuff...that was a big mistake as I have no motivation to get back up.</div><div><br /></div><div>But the bathroom desperately needs a scrub down...I can hear the toilet begging me to clean it...so I shall solider on... </div><div><br /></div><div>This Saturday Holly's friends are having a goodbye dinner for her at Baton Rouge and they invited Will and I, so that should be a good time. I've never eaten there before, so hopefully they have at lease a small vegetarian selection. Or I'll have a liquid dinner...those are my favourite.</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-31939027287982267322011-11-14T05:24:00.002-05:002011-11-14T05:33:39.947-05:00Can't sleep, so I'm up drinking milk and watching shitty reality tv.<div><br /></div><div>So, Dan got the job in Alberta! Hurray for them! It's such an awesome opportunity for there family, but I'm gonna miss the shit out of them. It's gonna suck not having Holly across the street...a 5 minute walk away. </div><div><br /></div><div>I can't keep what's happening straight, so many things are happening so quickly. Dan leaves, Holly goes to C.P, all their shit goes, Holly and my mom goes, then my dad goes...at some point I hope my mom comes back, lol. This is all happening by the end of the month...crazy how fast things happen sometimes.</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-26770035372906224722011-11-08T16:52:00.006-05:002011-11-08T17:17:47.769-05:00dinder<div style="text-align: left;">So being home all the time gives me lots of opportunity to make awesome meals, and try new recipes. My favourite is what I'm making tonight. Now this is a meat sauce, so I can't eat it, but it makes so much and Will loves it enough to eat it for the next 2-7 meals, lol.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rDWllkyQyRU/Trmk9jOgtlI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/qxe1c8cWk5w/s320/IMG-20111108-00119.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />This is what I like to call my "I don't give a fuck" pasta sauce/chilli. It can be used as either. It involves tomato sauce, water, onions, mushrooms, peppers, ground beef and/or spicy sausage, every spice you can find, any other shit in your fridge you wanna put in it. I had some black beans that I didn't think I was going to use soon and some leftover pizza sauce that I shoved in. I'll have Will taste test it when he gets home and adjust the spices for me (which is the one thing that sucks about being a vegetarian...).</div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hLmz4djrRPY/TrmnFmrBxJI/AAAAAAAAAKA/he5H25TgB4E/s320/IMG-20111108-00122.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672748920372053138" /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I went to Walmart with my sister today and saw this...exciting. I realized I haven;t had poutine since I became a vegetarian. Wow. I stopped eating meat the May of grade 7...I'm now 26...4 months away from 27...that's a long ass time. So I got this and I'm going to make a meat gravy for Will and have a poutine night sometime! I'm excited.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vGdbEdNe3sQ/Trmn3VSXQhI/AAAAAAAAAKM/TTrZezWI-wI/s320/IMG-20111108-00121.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672749774698660370" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Will also really enjoyed when Dan and Holly were over and we had Indian food. Holly made the meat feeders Butter Chicken, he was then obsessed. So I found this paste, about 4 bucks cheaper then the sauce itself, just add water and we've got some em effing Butter Chicken. Beeeeeeiitch.</div><div><br /></div><div>I also bought brown sugar and I'm gonna try making cookies. The first and only time I ever attempted muffins I forgot the fruit and they turned out hard...that's the closest to a cookie I've ever made...</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-61349452959884721312011-11-06T17:50:00.002-05:002011-11-06T18:04:08.411-05:00I'm so excited to go wedding dress shopping that I've been doing a lot of googling of wedding things the last few days.<div><br /></div><div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4jYImeVOq8Q/TUSuGhmRc5I/AAAAAAAAAHw/Ee3sq7xkDl4/s400/feather_wedding_bouquet_1.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div>I love this bouquet, but the majority of feathers would be black and dark purple.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SO0B3Q_Mmus/SjkY3dk0LvI/AAAAAAAABH4/cZGXqEmgSbo/s400/feather+wedding+bouquet+5.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div>This is beautiful as well, again with purple not red.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v1/243798526/Special-Price-Fashion-One-Shoulder-Dark-Purple-Cocktail-Bridesmaid-Evening-Dresses-JH917.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Love this, maybe just a little darker.

Family dinners - quiche will Will's fam, and paneer with mine...YUM!</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Seeing Holly's babies try cereal for the first time...who am I kidding EVERYTHING they do is cute and I'm happy to see.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Being 1 year away from officially being Mrs. van Nieuwenhuyze, and getting roses from Will! He's never given me roses before.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. KFB - Wedding Planning Edition! Mandi and Heather (bridesmaids) have confirmed they will be visiting the weekend of November 12th. There shall be wine, wedding dress shopping, wine, chips, terrible music, and pictures of H passed out with her mouth open!</div><div><br /></div><div>5. Not quitting. I fucked up, 4 days in a row I fucked up. I gained weight back. But I got right back on track. Working out (ran over 4 miles today) and eating healthy. Maybe I wont lose as fast as I want, but at least I wont quit.</div><div><br /></div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333039086828110266.post-70722105495243104812011-11-03T11:24:00.002-04:002011-11-03T11:36:28.895-04:00wooo!Wow, I need to cleanse myself from the last 4 days. There was a lot of wine and food consumed, basically ruined everything I've done the last 10 days...nice eh. I'm such an idiot. Although it was friggin' delicious. And it's not my fault there were multiple events on 4 consecutive days. <div><br /></div><div>Well it happened and logical Siobhan is fighting with emotional Siobhan to realize that I can't go back and it was enjoyable while it was going on. The best thing to do: pull up my socks, get right back on track and work my butt off for another 9 days and hopefully recover what I'd done so I can ruin it again.</div><div><br /></div><div>KFB is happening on the 12th so I'm going to be drinking more and eating more. We're also gonna take a trip into Sinders to look at some wedding dresses!!! Ahh, I'm incredibly nervous and excited. I know what I want but I'm terrified that I'm going to look like a heffer in everything. </div><div><br /></div><div>1 year and 3.5 hours I'll be married. Weird!</div>Susan and Siobhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654383928651536952noreply@blogger.com0
