RANT RANT RANT

I dont do alot of blogs so i just wanted to make a list here of my pet peeves..


1. I work with Phones all day long, phone calls going out and coming in, Pt's will call back and say " you called" -- well yes in this day and age at work i should have call display but i dont. So i dont know who you are when you call me back with no information... and there is two or three receptionist on at a time so it could have been any 3 of us.. ususally i remmeber who i have called within the last half hour but i ask some of the girls and they dont rememeber like that.. so i have to ask your name or your number look you up and then look threw your apt or our called list weather or not we called you for an apt that is due, apt confirming, or your owe us money.. I just think its annoying its wasting my time when i could be booking ppl who actually call us for a reason or they pick up there phone when we call.
I suggest people either get an answering machine so we can tell them why we are calling.. or how bout answering your phone... anyways that just ERKS me in the wrong way sometimes.

2. Recently my parents have a grand vattra.. and my sister has my dad olds suzkhi s4 or something.. And they have been having issues. So on warranty or because they need the work done by PROFFESSIONALS ( i use that loosely) they take it to the suzkhi dealership in chilliwack. Now they have had either the worst luck latley or this place sucks big time. My dads car was recalled for something semi minor sent that in .. then something happend and there was loud noises coming from when breaking, they take it in and they tell my dad that the car was beening driven to hard! ???? Well if you know my dad he does drive fast but no hard- he is a mechanice and knows how to take care of his cars.. Come on .. so just more problems keep happening and they expect my parents to pay for all this stuff when it wasnt bad or broken before they took it in.. so the car gets a new motor.. and my dad was pissed with them and goes and buys his Subaru (excellent choice i might add... i want that in the will.. lol) He was trying to sell the sx4 but there were no takers.. so steph my sister wanted a new car.. and mommy and daddy gave that to her.. i think she is paying for it. but really is it a reliable car anymore? I think not!.
Then recently my mom's Grand vatara's timing belt went and they had to send it in for repair. It cost alot and had that work all completed. Then the other day my mom's car went up in smoke.. havent had the word yet on what happened but i can only imagine. More money more work, more stress on my parents for figureing out who will drive who.
So I just have an issue with them and people and there customer service skills and instead of wrighting a letter to the news paper which i always want to do with stupid people and such. i just thought i would say my piece here. If you dont like it dont read it. Thats my motto. My opinion.

Im sure i have other major issues with people..
like lately people are so rude and grumpy.. im a pretty happy person lately and i just made tons of phone calls today and i get either, No english.. ya thanks but no.. or just additude.. Im sorry but every single person i talked today angered me more and more.. so yes yoga breathing was in effect or i would have jumped across the counter and attacked the next person that asked me why they had to wait that long for a cleaning or dont call me im a responsible adult.. ERRRGGH.. just typeing this im pounding harder and harder on the keyboard.. the other girl asked me if im mad at someone.. YES!!!

OMG i have another one i dont like when your working some where for oh lets say years upon years.. and people with less sinority try and tell you what to do.. hahahaha are you kidding me.. i know what i have to do in my job .. i am aware of things that need to be done.. sometimes i dont get to everything.. but expecially with pts i know if they come in for Imps for a certain something in a weeks time they will need to be booked back to pick it.. thanks but no thanks.. dont tell me what to do.. im confident in myself and it really bothers me when they talk to me like that in front of patients.. lol or when your boss is telling you something that you know you have to do.. like duh.. thanks tips.. or hey how bout this.. what are you doing.... uh.... im confirming insurance.. im doing pendings.. how bout my job!!!!>. ok im getting to excited i have to calm down..
i ll do some yoga tonite.
anyways just wanting to spout off a couple Rants for ya.. so you know if you feel the same way your not alone.
thanks for reading
and no offence to anyone.. might just be the day im having.. :)


Peace love and Happiness..
my motto for this week!!!!

Thanks ALL!!!

Christmas

I had to post a blog, i havent been keeping up with it, my apologies.
So to update you on whats been going on, I have already set up my christmas tree about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I have decorated it with blue and silver and white again this year. I just really love the out of the Norm, decorating. I started it last year, i wasnt following the crowds and having the traditional red and white and green christmas. This year however there is so much cute stuff, and not alot of a deep blue and silver decor and accessories. So luckily enough for me, my mother is having the whole kit- and kaboodle christmas shin-dig at her house. She knows im into decorating so she said i could help. Well she likes tradtional, so i talked her into getting new christmas ornaments. Since all through my childhood it was mix-matched decorations, homemade, bought ones, of cars, trucks, and angles, snowflakes, santa's, and bears. That is fine for when we were kids but now i think she Needs an upgrade i talked her into finally getting white twinkle lights, and christmas balls. She found some she really liked and called me the other day to brag. she also bought red beads, and hung them. im excited to go over there and take a look. I have some ideas for some added touches im going to bring too. So yes christmas is so busy. I swear it's just flying by. In like oct im thought to myself "oh ya ill be on top of it" and it will all be ready. Well NO i am not. I am making homemade christmas cards again this year and i want them to look so GOOD. PROFESSIONAL. although I have only 3 our 25 made, also i have a bunch of people i am making christmas stocking gifts for and with that I am 0/20. Im falling behind, im just not inspired to do it. I also havent worked on my scrapbook since before sept. I hate that, i love doing it and im so proud of the work i do i just need to get back to it. New years Resolution is to be more creative. I think its because of the disaster of a spare room i have. Eventually i would like to have that as the hobbie room, tidy and organized. Hopefully my significant other will read this and see my plans. So i will declare my plans on here, I think we should move the black cabinet of DVD's and Blue ray's out into the living room to the corner where the tree is now. Also go threw all the crap in there and move it to the ample storage rooms we have. Then make a big comfy reading chair area with lamp and table. Cause this new year i would really like to read more and expand my library. Then My DH brought up a good idea the other night we dont use our desktop computer very much because heck its our slowest one. So he thought to move that into stoarge and at least we would have it in case our laptop finally hit the bucket. So then i could expand my crafting area. Althought He also brought up another interesting Fact, is that we dont have a tv in there and i like to have the tv on and watch things while im working with my hands.. but hmmm.. i dont know we'll have to think about that one more. Anyways, My christmas party for work is on this saturday and im really excited i have this amazing Dress and i have been working out for the last 3 months and have gotten in AWESOME shape so im gonna look killer. The christmas parties have began, christmas movies are on all day now and snow is falling. Tis the season i love this time of year. Merry Christmas!

Addiction!

I think most people have some sort of an Addiction Problem. It could be Drugs, Alcohol, Nicotine, Work, Video Games, Internet, food. There are mostly Described as Obsessions, Compulsions, and psychological dependence.

Some are good, some are bad and some need Rehab.!


So Today I am Declaring... That I..... am a Full Blown Addict....... To Exercises! ……………………

LOL ha ha scared ya!



Since the beginning of October, I have been working out with Deb, my mother-in-law,(sorta) in the morning 5 days a week. When I started back before summer, it was once a week, and we were starting around 7:45 or 8, but that wasn't cutting it for me. I have needed and wanted to work out, more for years now and just needed the motivation. She has defiantly helped me with that, i didn't know she was going everyday.So now I am going everyday and starting at either 7 or 715, just having someone there, that i know for a fact, will be there is a good thing. That really helps me. Thanks Deb!!!





***Monday, Wednesday, Friday, - We run. I started out at 5 min'sand built my way up fast to a good 30 minute Run. My Knee has been acting up lately, off and on. So i have been , just trying to take it easy and and not favor it too much. I have been using a knee brace for the time being. Just trying to get past the pain. I know it will just take some time for my knee to soften up with the Running. Also on M,W,F, we do 1-2 body parts, lifting weights, again Building up the weight, slowly but surely. I'm really shocked, that i can do some of this stuff we are doing, never thought i was really that strong. I definitely never thought I had a strong upper body, now I feel more powerful, to take on anything.





***Tues and Thursday, We concentrate on Abs or Legs..(letting my knee relax, added with a bit of chit-chat.) Also try and sneak in to Starbucks before I'm off to work. We have also started to do yoga, Once in awhile in the morning. You'd think it wouldn't do much, You are just standing still in different positions breathing, But your strengthening muscles and lengthening them. We combine that with a 15 min run, and both of us had not sweat like that before.





Its really been great for me. My self esteem has really improved. I never really was at my best. Always conscious of my stomach and I hid it well, but now I'm not afraid. Tighter fitting clothes, shorter tops, Tighter pants, I Seriously need a knew Wardrobe.. like now.


Working out has also helped with my concentration at work. I'm happier, in a good mood, and don't let the little things get me down. Ive been feeling much healthier. With this pandemic of H1N1 (or SWINE) eating healthier, working out and taking vitamins are some of the best things to help you not get sick. (as well as PURELL) So I also Feel really good about that.





Its the end of week 6 and its just a habit now. Get up and go!!! I don't even think about it anymore. Don't get me wrong, its not all just about the exercises, its 80% your diet, and I have been Working at that too. I had started at 1500 calories((now I'm at 1200) and that was working. but i still cheated here and there. My truly BAD addiction is Sushi,(my boyfriend, friends, and I do -ALL you can eat) with all that white Flour, BAD CARBS, ...i know.. i know.. its bad but i really, really enjoy it. But no. I QUIT!!! The 8Th was the last day i ate sushi and I'm gonna try really hard for at least a month here to cut it all out. I never eat sloppy burgers, or indulge in a lot of fast food. I eat a lot of chicken, and fish already, so its just making sure there is a good proportions of all the other good food groups. More veggies and fruit, dairy- I already have a lot (milk + cheese are another major addiction, i have) and whole Grains, is all I am allowing myself to eat, as in the way of bread. This really has been a lifestyle change, Why.. cause i want to be and feel, like a better person.
They have always said, its something that you will just have to do- and you have to do it for yourself. Now I have decided to do it for myself.


I think that was my problem i always wanted it, but it was usually when i had a break up or i would do it for a couple weeks and then loose interest. I'm in a really great relationship with a sensational guy (<3>achieving it this time. I'm addicted to the gym. Is there rehab for this???

Movie Reviews

3D Movie Reviews
The other night Tay and i watched our 2ND purchased 3D movie.
We first got Coraline, it comes with the special glasses, 4 in a case.
The movie is really cute. Its a stop motion film, actually the longest made to date.
Its about Coraline, who lives with her mom and dad. She is unhappy with her parents, her dad Is always playing on his piano, or gardening with no time for her and her mother who's cooking talents are the greatest, rather work on there garden catalog. She Finds a secret door, to a parallel world where her parents pay attention to her, make her dinners that she likes, and want everything to be perfect for the little girl. After meeting other father and other mother, she awakens back in her room, with her true parents. The day goes on and she feels neglected and realizes that her other family actually want to pay attention to her and they will get her whatever she wants. That night she returns to have the full attention that she deserves.
I don't want to ruin the movie for you, i think its a cute little movie. Not for little kids really, because its kind of like Alice in wonderland but not so Disney, a little more Dark. The 3d special affects are really neat, A needle comes out of the screen at your and things flying around are really cool too.

The next move we watched, Tay brought us home, My bloody Valentine. It was the first ever movie in 3D technology R- Rated. The movie has pretty gory at parts, for someone who doesn't like blood i wouldn't suggest it. It was good having my boyfriend with me so i can hid my eyes. Don't watch it alone. I enjoyed it though.
Well its like the rest of all the scary movies, Predictable. We all should know by now, not to be separated from your friends, always have a charged battery, and the bad guy never dies the first time, and don't check. Here's some more funny survival tips. lol

Toy story 3d
Last week, Tay and I took his younger brother Spencer to the toy story in 3D. They call it Real D. It was pretty cute, to get your ready for the 3rd Toy story coming out in July 2010. The movies were great in 3D. It really adds to it and of course you get a break in between the two, to get more snacks and drinks and a bathroom break. I would suggest 3d movies to anyone they are really good and i love how some things come right out at you. Technology is really improving and soon all movies will be in 3D at home. Also NOTE to all movie goers the glasses don't work at home on the 3D movies, Which sucked but that's OK. I wish they would improve the dorky,flimsy, uncomfortable cardboard specs.

BoyCott Kanye

I bet you've all heard the big news that happened at the MTV awards on Sunday, Regarding Kanye West and Taylor swift. I am going to start off by saying that I like allot of musicians, of all different Genres and some have big egos but this was completely outrageous.
For all of you who haven’t or live in a cave, Taylor Swift Won best Female video of the year. She’s just about to start her acceptance speech and Kanye West, Gets up on stage and takes the mic from her. I quote "Hey Taylor I’m really happy for you and I’m gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." I like beyonce, but really that video "Single ladies (put a ring on it) wasn’t that good, all she does is dance, but yeah I liked the dancing (cute routine) but in my opinion not an amazing video of all time.
Shut up and sit down Kanye. The poor Girl I felt so bad for her when I saw this, her first moon man acceptance speech and it’s ruined but this idiotic self absorbed Fool. Now people are saying this was set up, you’ve got to be kidding me, did you see her face when he stole her limelight?!
It’s like he doesn’t care about anyone else and what he believes and the music he makes is amazing and we are all tripping. Get over yourself. You may not like him or his music, but him doing these antics, makes him popular, like they say “bad publicity is better than NO publicity!” He’s going to be the biggest searched guy on Google or yahoo, today but what he did to Taylor was downright stupid.
I hate him. He has done this time and time before and really no one has even decided to ban him from Award shows, make him one of those winners if he does, to accept over via satellite. Hopefully he learns to keep his mouth shut , or hopefully everyone realizes, that we need to show him "YOU SUCK" I suggest boycotting all sales of Cd's and not looking him up on YouTube, yahoo, Google. It was stupid what he did and now I really hope his career suffers! GOOD riddance



Here is some other Outburst from this loser:


November 14Th,2005 32ND Annual American Music Awards

Gretchen Wilson “Redneck Women”- wins Best New Artist, Kanye storms the stage. Later tells reports that he felt like he was robbed and refused to give any politically correct b*****t comment. I was the best new artist this year! Also brings up the idea of a massive conspiracy against him. Questioning voting process and also promises to anyone who would listen he won’t return to the AMA’s

February 13Th, 2005- 47Th Grammy awards

Nominated for Best Rap Album, he loses to College Dropout. Shocking!
He has something Crazy to say about not winning. Do you ever get the hint that maybe
you’re not liked as much as you think you are!


December 5Th, 2005

a week before Grammy nominations are announced Kanye gives an interview to MTV news in which he threatens
to have a really problem if his newest blazing hot album late registration doesn’t win album of the year.
He also predicts that it won’t win mostly because of the comments he made about George W. Bush during hurricane Katrina
telethon. Also blasts recent articles in magazines like the source and vibe for not calling his albums “Classic.” Then he
Justified his behavior, stating that he spent over $600,000 of his own money producing and on the promotion of "Registration."

November 2ND, 2006 -MTC Europe Music Awards.

Loses Best Video award
again jumps on stage, and yells that his high budget video,
cost millions to make, he was flying in helicopters over Vegas,
climbing mountains, and Pamela Anderson was in it.


** Now as you can see this Guy has no class. He thinks way too highly of himself and is dissed right, left, and center. Get the hint, there are Tons of people in the world and you’re not making music that has a wide audience. I have listened to his music, and yes I like some of the songs but because of his attitude and disrespectful response to the world’s opinion of him and his music, I could do without ever listening or even hearing from him again!

Homemade French Onion Soup

The other day at work i was deciding, what I should make for dinner and for some reason i thought French onion soup! I don't Necessary eat this very much once in a while i would order it but never had homemade. So i looked up a recipe to try, off the Internet. It was called Authentic real french onion soup. My boyfriend thought it was so good, especially since i can take a recipe and do it great the first time. I admit i was very critical on it, the onions needed to be cooked longer, and the soup needed to be thicker, and i also need individual bowls for the soup, but that's just me. Now i can work at it to improve it and he will still love it! Its just great having someone that i love to cook for and they appreciate and love anything i try and do, even if its an epic Failure, which in his eyes i have yet to do! I never cooked a lot at home, my parents are jealous i must say. Living alone i didn't cook for one a lot of the time, it was a lot of sandwich's or easy things, bachelorette food! So having him as my guinea pig is great. Thanks babe for loving me and my cooking! Your the best!!! Here's the Recipe: Classic French Onion Soup

Ingredients -

1 large Onion, peeled and thinly sliced.
Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon flour
2 cloves Garlic, minced
4 cups Beef Stock or Chicken Stock
Salt and Pepper
4 slices Toasted French Bread
1 1/2 cups grated Swiss Gruyere with a little grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp of Dijon mustard

Preparation:

In a large saucepan, saute the onions in the olive oil on medium high heat until well browned, but not burned, about 30 minutes.

Add the flour about 10 minutes into the process to help with the carmelization. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the stock.

Cover partially and simmer until the flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix Dijon mustard with the cheese and place on top the bread.

To serve you can either use individual oven-proof soup bowls or one large casserole dish. Ladle the soup into the bowls or casserole dish.

Cover with the toast and sprinkle with cheese. Put into the broiler for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F, or until the cheese bubbles and is slightly browned. Serve immediately.

*** I used Mozza Cheese and it was really good, I also just regular mustard. Ill let you know any changes i do, next time i do it!

Starbucks Junkie in the making

OK, So this is a shout out to Spencer, my.. what you call it, brother in law?? lol ya i like that. So the justice's go for coffee, after the gym, every moring, and probably every other morning, so do alot of other people i know. So i really wanted to find a good drink that i could get, cause really, i cant have coffee, and the tea at timmy's is good but its boring after awhile. So about a week or so ago ,we went out after our intense workout at the gym, to Starbucks. Ive been before and i usually get either the caramel mauchiotto, or the java chip frap, or I've tried the passion berry tea, its cold and really good. Well i wanted something i would love!!!. He introduced me to this amazing drink, I'm not sure if i wanna tell the world, but it is so good. ok ok so i will.

(Grande chai tea misto,one bag,no foam,lowfat,w/4 pumps of sugar free Cinnamon dolche.)
Ya that's a mouth full. OMG i absolutely love it. So now i have registered my card, and put on some money, but I've probably used it all up by now. lol. It so good. Its only 70 calories, so for my calorie counting, it really helps. I just had to mention this. A wonderful drink!!!!!!
I think ill go get one right now!!!.. what also sucks is Starbucks is kinda outta the way on the way to work!!.. we will maneuver around with it though!!!! THANKS spencer!!!
