Friday couch jockeying, backscratcha and bottle stories

Here are some things that happened in this last hour.



I crafted a mini version of myself


I found a BACKSCRATCHA and scratched my back goooooood
(if you didn't already hear me complain about itching, the treatment I take gives you the ITCHIEST skin straight from your worst nightmares. It itches CONSTANTLY and I wake up scratching in the night. Not just lightly, I dig loud enough to wake Matt up. Nothing does much to soothe the crazy itch so I use various implements to get in there and do what I shouldn't do- scratch that shit Tyrone Biggums style.)



This what what I look like all the time.



While I am scratching my back, why wouldn't I scratch my arms too?
(The writing on the mirror is a note from Matt)


BUTTSCRATCHA!!!!
Yes, that is my ass, it grew in the last few months. I put on 5 pounds and my Oncology nurse Colleen said I looked nice and healthy. I guess it is unusual for people to gain weight during treatment.... 



I cleaned my rings up, just by soaking them in vinegar and water for an hour. Gave them a light scrub with a soft toothbrush and then BLING BLING BEAUTY!!! OMG! Those diamonds sure sparkle when they are clean. BOOM!


So like I said in my title, I am couch Jockeying pretty hard right now. I worked my four hours today and it just wears me right out. 
K not exactly but I am feeling the lazy wave wash over me and I think I will dedicate this evening to my television and a little sake.


I haven't started drinking the sake yet because I LOVE SAKE and it tastes so good to me, I could end up destroying that bottle in just over an hour, it wouldn't be the first time.


Here's a couple stories of my ability to kill the bottle in an hour.


One time a few years back when Matt and I were a new thing, and my brother was single living in a partypartment, and Matt and I would come 'round there to booze it up with him often. Our dad went to Mexico and brought Daley a nice bottle of tequila, and he gave it to me to bring to him.


It just happened to be St. Patricks day as well.


So I grab my man, tell him we've got a bottle of tequila to drink and he goes 
"I don't like tequila. I'll stick to whisky."


I'm like COOL! More for Daley and I.


Daley cracks it and we gave 'er. 
That bottle was gone in one hour.


Well the night wasn't close to being over so Daley and Matt go to the liquor store and get a bottle of Sauza, which didn't taste the same as the very decent Mexican Tequila we had just drank,( don't ask me what it was called, I was hammered. )


I know once I've had enough booze and blind drunk things just all taste the same to me, so I found a way to get that Sauza in me. I could drink 4$ wine when completely shitfaced. It is possible we finished a second bottle that night, and Matt and I stayed till dawn and left in a boozy disgusting greasy mess, to have a shameful sleep and bad hangover to follow.


Now don't judge me on this, but one time probably about eight or nine years ago I polished a bottle of wine in ten minutes.
Ten minutes.
I can't remember EXACTLY how this went down but I remember I was mad, perhaps at the douche bag boyfriend I had at the time, and went to a girlfriends to vent/party. I was upset and stopped at the beer and wine store on the way home from work, so it would have been pretty early, seven or eight in the evening.


I bought three bottles of wine and took the bus and train into Burnaby.


I get to my friends place (who is no longer a friend, perhaps because she would always be around if there was wine, and if there wasn't wine she was gone with the wind)  I crack a bottle and chug it. I am calling the guy names, venting and yelling about my dumb boyfriend and before I knew it bottle number one was gone.


Now what I think I remember about this night is the first bottle got me loaded, the second bottle went down in an hour or so, and don't ask me what happened to the third. Pure destruction is what that was. The evening likely ended with my dickish but sober boyfriend driving to Burnaby to pick my sloppy ass up.


Now I know there has been other times I polished a bottle really fast, but when you do that you get DRUNK and are likely to forget about it. At least that's what I do, pretend like it never even happened.


So all this talk about polishing bottles makes me want to warm up my sake, and I can truthfully say you could make me do just about anything after half a bottle of sake, but a whole bottle in, lets just say, I'm a REAL party.

Friday. Lamb of God review and my Cauldron

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

My hubby and I are hanging around making incense and I'm into the sake again, Matt is of course destroying a bottle of whisky, and we are listening to Project Rotten.

This brand of Harsh EBM/Electro goth isn't exactly Matt's favourite music, he hates "Goth Ravers". 
I of course listen to just about anything so this is my Friday night album.
The first track Soul Stripped rules my life right now.


http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/projectrotten1



You know a band is gothy when you can't tell who's a chick and who's a dude.

Now we are listening to the new Lamb of God album Resolution.
I am kinda MEH on it so far.
Matt says MEH too.

It sounds radio ready and it lacks the technical prowess and syncopation of Wrath and Sacrament.
It has bored me thus far.
Of course it's heavy and angry and serves it's purpose, but then it lacks substance.
"Track number nine sounds like the heaviest Alice in Chains song ever written."
Matt told me to put this in my blog and smoke it.


More wag beards than you could wag a stick at! But would you dare wag a stick at group of gentleman such as these, where D. Randall (4th from left) was staring you down all dangerous like he is in this picture? Now that is a badass not to fuck with, I am sorry.
Lamb of God rules but this album doesn't make me feel smashy good time like many before this one. Disappointed? Yes.
Surprised? No.

In other news, I found some 100% pure shea butter! Believe it or not this is hard to find here. My skin is celebrating right now, I feel like I rubbed soft cheese all over myself and the effect is just glorious my friends. Thank Zombie Gary Busey for late night Wal-Mart trips with Mrs. KT Karpetz.

I am trying to get a still picture of my cats who are "nipped" (high on catnip) and wearing their cute new collars!

Pictures will be up soon no worries.

Here is my new vintage cauldron from www.whitemagickalchemy.com
Me and my Bestie face KT have matching.


PURDY RIGHHHHT???

Queen of the random

http://youtu.be/pUAWRVy4q94

This has to be one of my favourite scenes in Friends of all time.

I just had to start with that.
Watch it and laugh.

I have installed at widget that is a chemo countdown calendar, at the top of my page.
It is exciting to look at for me.

I am currently anxiously awaiting some "presents" bought online.

 Saturday night after Elaine's party I had the brilliant idea to go buy a bottle of sake. Inspired by sake-drunk text messages from my dear friend John, I find my way to a bottle of Gekkeikan Sake, served warm.
Half way down the bottle I picked up my MacBook and started searching for the end of the internet.
That can result in a drunken online shopping spree.



Now I really didn't go completely insane, and I won't post em all until they arrive and I can put them on.

I did buy a couple things for the husband too, to distract from all the stuff I bought. ;)


This one REALLY excites me!

http://www.whitemagickalchemy.com/

KT introduced me to this site, and there is tons of cool stuff but I really wanted this cat kit!
It comes with Catnip and incense, and a pentacle collar! Seeing as I have two black cats I had to buy another for Sabbie, or she'd be jealous. They are going to look so mysterious and I will be posting pics when they arrive!

Another fun purchase, BPAL socks!

I am also awaiting my Friday the 13th oil, and my Krampus T-Shirt.

KT and I got the same shirt. We will be wearing them next Christmas.

So many creepy goodness' at:

Wow, that was random.

Anyways, clearly today I have nothing profound to offer my readers, so I'll just entertain you all with random garbage.



Ah, Taylor Momson.
The wannabe Satanist.
What the hell can I say about this look that she doesn't already say in her coked up baby star face.

Brutal.

Waterpark, Rosie Cat and my two favourite little guys!

HELLO EVERY-BAWWDEEEE!!!!

Well this isn't a planned blog entry. I am righteously buzzed on some Geikkeikan Sake served warm after a sober driving weekend. On a whim I picked some up on the way home from a day of activities.

LAST NIGHT.

WE WENT TO THE WATERPARK!!!
OMG so fun. Me, Matt, KT, Mike, Pete and Mopar went to the waterpark on tickets we bought for ten bucks a piece from ATB. First we rode the Tropical Typhoon- I call it the toilet bowl- you shoot down a tube and into a bowl where you swirl around clockwise and then get flushed down a hole, I love this one cause everyone always falls in an awkward way into the pool, then water is falling on your face and you just belly flopped into the pool.
KT hated it and banged her head somewhere on the slide so she wasn't all that impressed. We went on a more mellow slide for Miss KT. 
After riding the corkscrew, blue bullet and jumping through waves in the wave pool for a bit, we went and got junk food and a drink.
After the drink I finally had the balls to ride the crazy new slide, THE CYCLONE!!!


OH MY ZOMBIE CHRIST!
So, you get in a capsule, the top of the slide, and a glass shield closes over you.

3-2-1
AND THE FLOOR DROPS OUT FROM UNDER YOU!
You don't even have time to scream in terror!
It's like you are falling down a tube and not a slide.
Now if you look at the picture above you fly at 60 km an hour into this crazy almost totally upside down loop. Most people make it through the whole loop and back down. I didn't.
I went down the tube, excuse me, FLEW down the tube, then half way up the loop and something happened and I went backwards all of a sudden and back into the tube!
A young boy working at the waterpark lifted me out of the tube, and I was confused for a moment!
I look around and realize I didn't make the whole loop.
It was AMAZING and TERRIFYING!
Loved it.

That was a serious adventure and I still feel like I am in a wave pool.

We came home all tired from stairs to water slides and wave pool shenanigans.

I slept in today because I had my shot last night, and of course it makes me sleep for a long time.

Once I finally wake up, I get some bad news.

My Family's beloved 18 year old cat Rosie (aka ol' Row)
Had to be put to sleep.
She had kidney disease and wasn't eating.
Poor girl, we didn't want her to suffer.

Rest in peace my sweet old kitty.

 Rosie is the sleeping one.
Mitssy is standing next to her up to no good.

In her last days.
Photos courtesy of my awesome brother Daley.
Thanks bro. <3

I loved this cat, and her and I had a special connection.

I'll miss her.

I had to have some time with my kitties after that.

Then we had some things to do!

First, to ACT pool in Rundle park for SILAS'S 2ND BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

He turned two this week and he totally loved opening all his prezzies.


He used both hands to rip out the tissue paper! SO CUTE!

 This was so funny and cute. Silas opens this present and it's books, and he goes "BOOKS!"
Then drops them on the floor and motors off.

 MORE PRESENTS!!!!!

 A CARS BOOK!!!!

So fun.
I got him a train book, a Seuss book, and my favourite book as a child, The very hungry caterpillar!
I got to meet a bunch of cutie pie 1-2 year olds, and I made friends with little Brody, Mel's little boy! I need a picture of him, he's a cute little thing!

All those sweet babies today made me want one for myself!

A year and a half and I can have one if we are ready. Mini Erin/Matt hybrids?
That child will be crazy person royalty.

We had to go straight to St. Albert for Elaine's "End of school"celebration!
We had a delicious dinner made by Maggie and Dennis (Elaine's Dad and stepmum)
Lasagne, Alfredo, Caesar salad, greek salad, bread and butter and Creme brûlée for desert. So good!

I got to play with Dylan who calls me auntie now, he's two and ready to rumble! Dylan is doing summersaults, playing with gadgets, and chattering away.

Here's a couple of my fave pics of Mr. Dylan!

 Dylan and I in the summer! He was so small here! He's a big boy now! AUNTIE ERIN LOVES YOU DYLAN! XOXOX


CUTEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME EVER!
Little skunk!
LITTLE STINKER!
So cute!
Dylan is such a smart little thing and he wraps you around his little finger and is always having so much fun!

I had a fun day with the little guys in my life and it helped with coping with the loss of Rosie cat.

Since this entry was inspired by Japanese Rice wine, I am starting to fade from the bottle and am ready to close my eyes.

Much love to all of you lovelies.
