Pizza Hut Buffet

Met James for lunch at HIS favorite restaurant... Pizza Hut, for the Pizza Hut Lunch Buffet. I am not one for buffets because I never feel like I get my money's worth. But I love to people watch at Buffet restaurants.

Today Pizza Hut did not let me down. Our local Pizza Hut is just 1 minute from our house, located at the East End of Regina. There are many different types of people who frequent our Pizza Hut and today people of all types were there. I love the MAD dash for the buffet when new pizza's come out. Or the mother's who constant peek over at the buffet and then send their small child up to LOAD UP on pizza slices, often stacking 10 slices on one plate for the whole family. But who could tell a young 4 year old that they took too many pizza's, so they get away with cleaning out the fresh pies.

Today this one fella, who obviously was not going hungry or has been hungry in a while, cleaned out a fresh pizza and then yelled to the staff that they needed to make more pizza's. You meet the greediest people at a buffet and you constantly feel tense because you want the same slice as the person in front of you! Everyone stocks up on pizza slices like there is going to be a natural disaster.... each person taking way more than they need incase a fresh pizza is not available when they finish what's on their plate. Don't even get my started on the bread sticks! Maybe it's because they are so small and easy to grab. But they go like money.

All I know is I love Pizza Hut and Nuthin' But!

WHO READS THIS BLOG????

I am always so surprised when I sign onto this blog how many people read it!!! WHO THE HECK ARE YOU??? When I started this blog I thought that I would maybe have my family read it, so that would maybe be on average 10 people. But to my surprise, around 15 people read this a day! That's just great. But now I feel the pressure to write amusing and creative blogs and not just random ones. But hopefully you are enjoying what I type so far.

Would you please do me a favor? Please leave me a comment (even just a comment with your name) on this blog article if you read this. I would just LOVE to know who you are... Plus, I know every time someone reads this because my "counter" at the bottom goes up. So please do that for me! I would be so excited to see your name. Then I could maybe include a personal note to you in my blog.....

You mystery people are so great! Thanks so much!

Random Summer Pics

These are some random summer pictures..... Thought I would add a personal touch on here!

Random Stuff

Sorry I didn't have a chance to update you yesterday. It was a busy day for some reason. I just didn't have time stop and write or creep on other people's blogs.....

Today I am very tired. Yesterday evening was the first time I realized how tired the winter makes me. In summer or spring, when it is light until 10:00 pm, I feel like I have so much energy. But when the days get shorter I feel like I should go to bed earlier. Yesterday at 7:00 pm Sammy and I went to Old Navy and I felt like I should be hitting the old sack!

Tonight I am getting my hair cut! I am going to get it like Elizabeth's off The View. Just above my shoulders and with bangs. Tara is such a good stylist, I know she will make it look amazing. My hair is too long now, I put it up in a PonyTail almost every day now because it drives me nuts. I hate long hair in the fall or winter because it is so heavy and sticky......

Well, I might write again later. I am too tired to right now because James and I stayed up late (11 pm) watching America's Next Top Model. 2 hour season primere! Tonight is the Season Primere for CSI: Las Vegas! HURRAY! (Don't forget at the end of the season last year Sarah was seen in Gill's room....)

Doctor's Appointment

I'M NOT PREGNANT!

(Just wanted to get that out of the way before any of you, especially Tim,

start thinking that I am having a baby!)

I just got back from my follow up with my doctor (about my MIGRAIN!). I hate going to the doctors because I don't feel like they give me the time I deserve. There are always 20 other people waiting to see the same doctor, all thinking their symptoms are more important than everyone elses, and the doctors are always atleast 30 mins behind schedule. I would love a private doctor who spends atleast 15 minutes with me and actually cares about me...

Today I left work, telling Margit that I should only be a half hour, and raced over the Dr. T's office. I waited in the UGLY waiting room (it seriously is in need of a MAJOR reno) and read the Sept. issue of Oprah Mag. While I was waiting for Dr. T these women came in with itty bitty newborn babies. See, Dr. T is not just a family Doc but she is also a OBGYN!!! That means there is always newbees when I go to the Doctor's Office!!! They are so tiny and cute and bunchy (they are always bunched right up in their sleepers) and I WANT ONE!!

On the bright side I did find out my bloodtype. I have joined the millions of A+ people in the world!

Happy September 18

Today is the 261st day of the year, with 104 days remaining (I think that adds up...). Hard to believe! This past year has been a wonderful year for me. I have many things to be thankful for and many things to still look forward to.

Today I am freezing cold. Yesterday at church I was freezing cold. WHY IS IT SO DANG COLD? I felt bad for the flowers that were outside in my nice pots so I brought the ones that I could carry inside to the sunroom. I asked James to carry the big pots inside but he said no. He said it was not necessary... but I know it was! I was so sad looking at those flowers outside in the cold, while the ones I could carry got to come inside into the nice warm sunroom. To being the nice and caring person I am covered the outside flowers up with a blanket. I don't know why James wouldn't carry them inside, it only would have taken a minute!

This week was a movie marathon for me! Friday night I watched Glory Road, Saturday I watched Glory Road again with James since he fell asleep the first time, and yesterday I watched Father of the Bride II (for the 100th time) & Cheaper by the Dozen! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO ME?? I use to hate watching movies and now I can't get enough of them. Do you recommend any movies for me to watch? Let me know!

My grandparents get home sometime this week. Probably either today or tomorrow. It will be sad not having our own house again. I really was starting to like having my own place again. It's always different when you know you are in someone else's house. Lexis will be happy to have Libby back home and go for a walk each morning.

I really want to get another puppy so Lexis can have a baby sister. I would name the puppy Mercedes, so we would have Lexis & Mercedes... TOO CUTE!!! I will have to start bugging James for a baby puppy, maybe a white lab so I will have a black one & a white one! I could probably get another puppy out of James if I tell him I want a baby... Puppy's are way easier than babies.

Lazy Saturday

Today has been a cleaning day. My grandparents (who we live with until our new house is finished) have been gone for the past 2.5 weeks and come home around Monday. So today I did a complete scrub down of the house... cleaned the kitchen, bedrooms, vaccummed, stuff like that. I do this regularily but with 2 men (haha) in the house it seems like the cleaning never ends. I could probably live on my own and never have to clean the house, but with Sammy and James I am constantly cleaning up. I will have the kitchen clean and by the time I turn around there are dirty dishes and cups sitting on the counter! It drives me nuts.

Last night I watched another movie, Glory Road. Great Walt Disney movie! It is about a basketball team in the south when the African American population were not respected. I love movies like this, it reminds me of how far we have come (or how far we still have to go). My favorite part of the movie is when a coach tells another coach that Black people willl never be playing professional basketball, they just are not that good. It made me laugh because look at the NBA, I bet most of the players are Black, and they are dang good, if not amazing!

Tonight James said he wants to bake some cookies. I can not remember the last time I baked cookies. In my old house I could never get the oven to work right.... I have had so many friends come and look at my oven but no one knows what is wrong with it. It is a brand new convectional, flat top, ceramic oven... but it's crazy. This one time it took me 2.5 hrs to bake a friggen cake! Right when we moved I was starting to get along with the oven so I decided to take it to the new house, so I will keep you posted on how it works better when I hook it up. Maybe it will work, or maybe not. (P.s. - I am in need of a new fridge, if you know of where I can get one please let me know.)

Well I should go and creep on some other people's blogs. Have a wonderful Saturday night friends!

Weather & Survivor

SUMMER IS OVER!!! This morning I woke up, got dressed and ready for work, walked out the door and turned right around to grab a fleece. WHAT HAPPENED TO SUMMER??? Did you know we had the hottest summer on record since 1998? And look, fall is going to quickly turn into winter. I am not impressed one bit!

This last couple of days have been really quiet here in the office. Noone is around because a lot of our agent went to a conference in BC. The only ones who stayed behind are the rookies and us office staff so we are having a relaxing week with the big shots gone. My agent friend Mary, a very loud but funny lady, called and said she made some homemade borche and she is bringing some over for Margit (the other office gal) and I to have for lunch. MMMMmmmm..... This afternoon will be another slow pm because Margit is leaving to nurse her bf back to health after his knee operation. That means it might only be me in this large office....

There was so many things I wanted to do before my boss got back. I wanted to pain my front reception area for example! Mike, my boss/broker, said I could paint it because it's an ugly colour. Infact I don't know why every office I go to has this colour because it's the same colour as the church walls! So I was thinking that I might paint it a chocolate brown, something to add some warmth. But it looks like I ran out of time, so that will be another week's project.

Survivor was a good episode last night, the first one. I for one like how the teams are set up (according to ethnicity). I think this adds some drama and is funny. My favorite team is the caucasion team, not because I am white, but because they lost their chickens!! They were so proud of these chickens and then the alternative girl accidently lifted up the crate and they ran away! HAHA! Serves them right for stealing the Asians' chickens. Also that Exhile Island looks like a horrible place to be. That poor guy has to stay there for 2 days!! I think he needs to take the clue way more serious though. Here is how I think the clue can be broken: He needs to stand like he was making an "A" with the ship, watch for a south Isle (small Island) to fade away and then he will find the treasure! IT'S NOT THAT HARD!! I wonder if anyone will figure it out?

Well, I should get back to work... later friends
