Autumn Is Here...and so is NFL and NHL...more reasons to share a few drinks!


Oh Autumn,
How I love the change of weather from the sun to rain...
How I love the cold, dark, damp nights...
How I love the slow days at work...
You are a wonderful season which forces me to watch the best part of you...
Not your beautiful colours...
Not your clean, damp smells...
Not feeling your crunchy leaves under my feet...


NFL AND NHL SEASON IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well the season of testosterone has begun and I love it! For some reason I enjoy sitting next to guys who display their caveman traits--grunting and high-fiving--which is completely against me and my preferences. Perhaps it's the lack of caveman in my boyfriend, hence the crush on the caveman that I have had FOREVER. Perhaps it's the unnatural amount of testosterone I have myself, definitely more than my boyfriend, which makes me sit comfortably with the brainless NFL fans, who are only distracted by the game or the hot chick across the room. Anyways, the start of football starts another era of drinks after work. This combined with my new schedule of 9am-5pm Monday to Friday, and the change in weather, could possibly be quite the challenge this season. Can I fight the necessity to call "the caveman" on Sunday, when all the football games are on? So far not really... So Monday Night Football, Week One, I am at work watching the first Monday game, the Vikings versus the Redskins. Now "the caveman" loves the Vikes and will cheer for them even though they are one of the worst teams in the league. I decide to text him while I sit with friends at my work about how his team will be losing most definitely. After text-wars, pictures sent, and a Vikings win , he invites me out for beers after the game, and his friend is in town. I pay my bill (5 beers) and wander down to their spot where I decide that getting drunk with them is going to help out my situation. 5 more beers later, 2 double rye and cokes and 3 jager shots, I am drunk, practically knocking the table over while almost falling off my stool. Now that is sexy! Caveman offers to walk me home and I decline but promise I will call when I get home. They call me twice on my way home (it's nice he cares) and I tell them I'm good. I was sicker than a dog the next day for my 9am shift. So I ask myself, "Was it all worth it?" Well, I hesitate and say no but I had fun with the caveman. His friend was nice too. Okay, my team sucks too. I admit it! And this is definitely a great competition we can have, me and the caveman, but it doesn't help the situation. The texts and comments are flying back and forth about how bad my team is and I love the attention. This is a great way to hang out with him, and realize what kinda pig he can be. Or not but anyways, I still love football and won't stop watching to avoid the caveman. BTW I have to keep the picture he took of his Vikings wall art on my screensaver on my phone until the Vikes lose. DAMN HIM!!! Hee hee. So the NHL season begins also, which will fill in more of my rainy nights with entertainment. I will really feel the difference of watching the games at a different place than the old restaurant. Sitting with the caveman and the rest of the boys watching the games night in and night out was so much fun. I know it won't be like this at all this year. Especially since the caveman loves Detroit and not Vancouver. Again a fantastic rivalry which we love to throw at each other! Gonna miss that, too. Hmmmm. If only I could convince him that the place I work now is not a gay bar but a sports bar on Davie Street. That will never happen, so I should give that up. All I can say is...wish me luck...HAHAHAHA

Adults and Toys - Do Adults Ever Really Grow Up?

Every morning I drag myself out of my warm bed and prepare for another work day, as everyone else does in numerous routines and rituals. I pop in my earbuds and tune out the nearby noise, listen to the news while doing my daily puzzles on my mobile phone on the bus, and mentally prepare my "To Do" list. Looking around the crowded bus I always look at the similarities students wear to university, checking the popular brands and styles. At one point during my employment at the university, I created a "style" Bingo game, matching brands and styles students wear, and I always tried to figure out how these younger "starving" young adults could afford Nike Air Force One sneakers, Canada Goose parkas, Blundstone boots and the like. I do this today, sneaking a quick snap of the style and Google Lens the style (no faces of course), sometimes outwardly scrunching my face at the price of the item on my screen. No wonder these kids are starving, they can't afford ...

And Just Like That ...

  Like a cozy sweater, I wrapped myself in the past, took a deep breath and pushed play. I knew what was coming, and I was already familiar with the first episode of its release, but knowing I had full access to every episode made the experience more personal. There was no familiar theme song as it wasn't a reboot, but it had the feeling of something you know like the back of your hand, like that smell that brings you back to your grandmother's home or the taste that transports you to another time in your life. It was almost like the feeling returning to a numb limb, with which I have had recent experience, two carpal tunnel surgeries later. My brain, or rather my soul, was awakened from the fog bathed in for what seemed like forever.  I decided to use my time back in New York with ladies from my past. Although fictional, they definitely were part of my life, playing out storylines side by side with my life on the tube weekly. Having them back, 20 years later, aged and lived i...

Christmas Dinner 2023

Christmas dinner is not a challenge for me, unlike most people all over the world. Depending on your main dish selection and the corresponding side dishes, the difficulty level can differ for anyone, but I always suggest keeping it on the simple side so you can spend more time enjoying yourself than living in your kitchen. It was just my partner and me this year, keeping it a bit low-key and quiet. He just started a new job and didn't want to go too crazy, doing a little extra studying during the festive days off. His decision was leg of lamb, which I was happy with as turkey for two is either too much trouble or not special enough if using turkey thighs for your main dish. Using my kitchen and cooking tools (and skills) was a great decision, making our neighbourhood festivities available while also having time to cook. After visiting the local pub and enjoying a few rye and cokes (beer for him) we tried to gather an appetite, filling up on Christmas brunch with my family earlier i...
