Everything about that saying describes exactly what my elementary and high school experience was like. For this weeks them from Cheesy Bloggers .. we delve into the complicated and sometimes painful world of Popularity . I remember a time in early elementary... like primary.. where we all got along. Not any one person was "cooler" than another and everyone was invited to everyone else's birthday party. Then... it all went downhill. The problem is... I never really figured out why. I was never able to pin it down to one event or one thing I did or didn't do.. it just happened. People sorted out into their little groups, and I didn't make the cut. I was uncool. I remained that way throughout the rest of my public education life. It didn't help that I was in the same elementary school for the full 7 years (in Canada that's how we roll) and the SAME high school for 5 years. This means all the same people who branded me uncool when I was younger continue...

with my impending new schedule, I'm debating on making this a new segment.. we'll see how it goes. I'm not sure how I feel about it exactly, as it tends to be more negative and I'm trying to work on NOT being so negative. We'll see. I'm not feeling today, so for now... I'm going with it. THINGS I HATE MONDAYS Headaches - I really hate headaches.. and I HATE that I get them 2-3 times a week. I'm so very sick of feeling sick and not feeling like doing anything cuz I have another headache. I hate that I have to take pills and I REALLY hate that the pills don't seem to do a damn thing to help my headaches. I hate that I've just probably taken too many pills over the years to render them ineffective. I hate that my headaches make me a grouchy, bitchy, overall nasty person to be around and generally last for an entire day. Being an Adult - seriously... why were we all so eager to grow up? What good comes from growing up? You have TONS of r...

so I forgot two weeks in a row now about Thursday Tunes.. and yesterday I had such a bad migraine that I couldn't even fathom doing my Things I Love Fridays blog.. my poor readers (all 9 of them) are sure disappointed, I'm sure. They are probably reading this in disgust thinking, well how is she going to make it up to us. How? I'm not, cuz I'm an asshole like that. Though I might have to scrap those regimented blog topics when I go back to school cuz of course Thursday and Friday are two of the 3 days that I'm at school til 5pm and I won't get home til almost 8pm. After relaxing and homework, this blog is probably going to take a back seat. Maybe I'll have to change it to Tuesday Tunes and Things I Hate Mondays... I kind of like that better, actually. Last night I had a very strange dream.. it's still fresh in my mind, so I'm going to recount it. Mostly for me, but all you out there in blogland are going to benefit as well from my retelling. I...

FINALLY.... I feel accepted, accomplished, amazing.. and I'm already out of "a" words. Not that I was trying to use all "a" words, it just came out that way. What was I talking about? Oh yes... I have my first Search Keywords stat! "and cuddle with me" it's not raunchy, or exciting like "red slurpee poop kid" ala the robot mommmy but I'm excited nonetheless. I kind of feel like I belong to a super secret club. Now we just need to hold secret meetings, in a clubhouse. Like back in the day when I was a kid and we had a secret girls club and we met in our old chicken coop. It's a lot less disgusting than it sounds, we cleaned it out. It's not like we were the secret club of girls with chicken fetishes. Although in this day and age, I wouldn't be surprised if such a club existed. Wonder what the minutes from a club meeting like that looks like. Never mind, I really don't want to know. Anyhow, I just how to...

This week Cheesy Bloggers is talking about being clumsy .. which is something I know all too well. I've had multiple experiences with being clumsy over the years... starting in early childhood. I was born with feet that were turned in.. so I actually had casts on my feet when I was a toddler.... which somehow I was able to learn to walk in. My mum LOVED to tell the story about her daughter who couldn't be stopped from walking with casts on at 9 months old even though the doctor discouraged it. I don't know what went wrong. I remember following my sister under a barbed wire fence when I was young... and ended up with a scratch on my eyebrow that has led to a permanent scar. I think it's a rule that little sisters have to annoy older sisters and follow them around. I think this definitely contributed to the start of my accident-prone behaviour and led to me being generally clumsy later on in life. My sister is 7 years older than me and so there are a lot of things th...

Fog and Barns , a set on Flickr. yesterday morning I got up and decided to do an early morning shoot... it was SO much fun... I really got back into some photography that I haven't done in years. these aren't edited... so some are a little raw but I love them... please check them out.

it's time again for THINGS I LOVE FRIDAYS! Karma - I friggin LOVE karma... I love that when a stupid bitch cuts me off in traffic or doesn't let me merge (cuz we all know that ONE car makes all the fucking difference in the world)... that they will get their karma later. Like the twatwaffle that wouldn't let me merge this afternoon and later on I ended up catching up to her when I was almost home. I'd like to think that is karma making her pay for the fact that she couldn't let even ONE car merge in front of her and so she didn't end up getting to her destination any faster than me. the internet - all the glorious things that we have the internet for. YouTube, twitter, break.com, funny or die... even facebook. Some people say we are less connected now than ever with all the new technology we have these days, but I like to think otherwise. With fb I'm connected to the friends in all the different places in the country that I've lived. With YouTube ...

so I wanted to post a video to give you an idea of why I chose the blog name "It's so FUZZY" it's from Despicable Me... I would have used "fluffy" for my blog name but it was already taken. When my bf and I watched the movie... as soon as he saw that part we had the following conversation: "wow.. she sounds just like you" "I don't sound like that" "yes you do" "no I don't" "you're in denial" "you're a whore" we have a very healthy relationship. A few months later we were at WalMart doing some grocery shopping (we're broke ass).. and I saw this super cute fluffy pillow that I wanted to buy. "Look honey.. it matches the colors of our living room and it's so FLUFFY!" "HA... I told you!" "you're still a whore" I love my bf.

my contribution to Cheesy Bloggers for this weeks theme Back To Nature has to do with a fateful camping trip I took when I was 15....... A friend of mine was really into camping and hiking and asked me along on a camping trip on Easter weekend. I was super excited as it would be a co-ed trip and away from my parents for a weekend. He told me it would be a short hike followed by two nights camping, and all I needed was a sleeping bag, clothes and food. He said all the other stuff would be provided as he had extra (which he later denied saying). Then he laid the bomb on me..... "oh and please come... cuz if you don't come then Prudey Shirley (I don't remember her name) can't come cuz it's only boys" (this is where I should have known that the entire trip was going to be a disaster) "so basically you like Prudey Shirley and want a chance to make out with her without the parents around... so you need me to come so her parents know there is anothe...

so it's Friday again but today I'm not feeling the love .. as I've had a migraine all day. Migraines are things I've suffered from for years now.. and they are the worst. I don't know if anyone out there in blogland also suffer from migraines, but if so .. I feel your pain. Now for this weeks Things I Love Fridays! pain medicine - even though it doesn't work most of the time for me..... I should hate it but I don't. Occasionally it does work and when that's the case it's just greatness. Just so happens that my migraines are tougher than extra strength advil.. c'est la vie. Twizzlers - who doesn't love twizzlers? They are best when being used as a twizzler straw for whatever drink you're drinking at the time.. alcoholic or otherwise. With cola drinks they are the best though. my cats - I love my cats to friggin pieces and it's so nice when I'm feeling sick they lay in bed with me all day. Sometimes even come up and cudd...

it's true though.. I'm not a racist as I really do hate everyone. Although not all the time.. mostly when I'm driving home and people are driving like little old bitties and I wish I had a tank so I could ram them all off the road and be on my merry way... but wait.. no, I didn't mean that. (yes I did) Anyhow... it's time for Thursday Tunes! This weeks tune is an oldie but a goodie.. and it has a message I think we could all take to heart. Sly & The Family Stone - Everyday People Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong My own beliefs are in my song The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then Makes no difference what group I'm in I am everyday people, yeah yeah There is a blue one who can't accept the green one For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one And different strokes for different folks And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee Oh sha sha - we got to live together I am no better and neither are you We are the ...

so I'm sitting at work bored to tears (as usual) and thankfully brought a book to read. It's "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbo who is apparently "The Next Stieg Larsson" according to The Independant. It's not bad so far.. starting off a bit slow but I've heard good things so I'm going to stick it out. I don't know if any of you out in the blogsphere enjoy reading and if so you should check out library thing .. it's a great website to organize your book collection. You can put reviews, tags, recommendations, etc. They also have monthy early reviewers draws where you can request copies of books before they hit the shelves to review. It's heaven for a book whore like me.. I have about 150 in my personal collection and another 100 or so of my mums that I inherited. I love books.. for some reason I hate the library, I don't know why. Whenever I get a book from the library I never end up finishing it by the time I'm supposed to return it...

I'll start with the great news cuz I'm just so excited about it I want to BURST! A little backstory first.. my dad has leukemia and also had a cancerous lump in his throat. He went through surgery and chemo and so the lump and cancer was gone but he was still left with the leukemia. A little while ago his white cells spiked again so they thought they might have another type of cancer, in which case he might need more chemo to which he has refused cuz the last time was so awful! Well anyhow.. the good news.. he went for a biopsy last week and it turns out he doesn't have cancer!! I'm so excited about this as I only have my dad now (my mum passed last year) and so I really want him around as long as possible... I haven't had kids or gotten married yet and I'm worried my kids aren't going to have any grandparents on my side. OK .. so enough with that.. I started getting into the bad stuff again and I want to be a part of cheesy bloggers weekly post! This ...

so not only do I love that song, but I LOVE Fridays and so it's THINGS I LOVE FRIDAYS! On this 2nd edition of Things I Love Fridays I have a bunch of new things that I love and would like to share with you. Tim Hortons coffee - I know those of you in the US don't know what I'm talking about but up here in the Great White North we have a coffee outlet that I would guess resembles Dunkin Donuts in the US. It's Canadians go-to joint in the morning on their drive in to work and I am no different. It's where you might hear phrases such as "Double Double", "Triple Triple" and "a 20 pack of Timbits please". It was even featured on an episode of HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother) and if you don't know the greatness that is that show, well then.. I can't help you. Anyhow, I'm sipping my half coffee, half hot chocolate with a shot of caramel this morning and loving how it makes my morning at work just a little bit more tolerable. ...

so it's time for Thursday Tunes... a name I have given to the day I try to force my unique and sometimes unusual music tastes on you. Today I'd like to feature an artist that those of you in the US might not be so familiar with as he comes out of Canada. He's sexy, funny and has a voice that gives me some massive lady wood... too bad he's recently married! Pretty much every time I hear this song my hips start to move and I can't help but sing along.. no matter where I am. Much to the embarrassment of my bf who pretended he didn't know me last time I started singing along to this while we were walking through the mall. Yes it's Michael Bublé.. pronounced Booblay NOT Bubbly as pronounced by my friends grandmother. Grandmother - "Can you play that Bubbly guy, he sounds so nice" Grandson - "It's Bublé Grandma" Grandmother - "Yeah whatever.. play him.. I love his voice" Grandmothers are so funny. Anyhow... he...

This past weekend we had a family day trip up to Whistler Mtn for a BBQ Competition (I love me some meat) and just some general sightseeing. Both the bf and I haven't been to Whistler in over 10 years and the kidlet had never been so we were all excited! We started off our trip with a stop at Timmy's ..cuz no road trip is complete without Timmy's coffee.. mmmmmmmmmmm. Coffee coffee java java java.. ok, so I might have had too much.. the shaking and jitters are normal, right?! img courtesy of Timmy's It started out rainy but then the sun got off its lazy ass and decided to show itself.... the rest of the drive was nice and relaxing with the kidlet playing DS in the back and me controlling the road tunes up front. Included in my playlist are: Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Dev, Journey and some classic Queen! We got to Whistler around noon and paid for parking.. .$12 for a day.. yikes! As well, those fucking parking meters are the suck.. they don't take cash, only c...

so for my Best. Story. EVER writing prompt from cheesy bloggers I chose a story that happened 10 years ago (or so) while living in a basement suite with my ex.. I tend to toss and turn a lot when I sleep, and this night was no different. This night in particular I woke up to the sounds of the hallway door opening.. which was followed by the sounds of the living room door opening. This couldn't be a coincidence as I doubt ghosts would do that just to torture me, or they might.. cuz they are ghosts and I assume most ghosts are assholes. So anyhow, I start hitting my bf at the time to try to wake him up.. lets call him D. As he starts to wake up he's getting pissed... cuz at this point I'm so scared I'm about to be axe murdered I don't realize that even though D is awake, I'm still hitting him. D finally convinces me that he's fully awake and aware that I'm convinced there is an axe murderer in our living room. He grabs the baseball bat I keep in my c...
