Pointy
I had a New Year’s post all ready to go, but you know what?
Tonight I’m just going to decompress after an insane Monday back in the office, do my own thing and ramble for a bit in my favourite way, point form.
- I’m talking to a criminal defense lawyer I used to work for tomorrow about my brother’s case. This guy has won four out of five murder trials and has set precedents in Canada/US border drug seizure trials. He’s THE man, and if he can do all that, I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to get my brother out of a mischief charge. He’ll probably chuckle and charge a fortune but at least Jeff won’t have a criminal record thanks to a psychotic drama queen.
- Speaking of which, she tried to phone my brother today and when he didn’t answer, she sent him a message on his Blackberry telling him she was sorry. HA.
- Callie and Lily have the best Daddy in the world. He spent the day with them today while I was at work and will do the same until Wednesday afternoon when I’m off for four and a half days! Today they made the most adorable cards for me and when I got home, the girls were so happy. I could tell it was a good day for all three of them and that makes ME happy. I bought them stuff to make cookies tomorrow (okay, it’s Pilsbury pre-made) and I’ve heard talks of making one big cookie, lol. Should be interesting.
- Whitney’s spin-off from The Hills is on MTV tonight and I’m all over it. I can’t wait till 10pm. Shut up.
- Before that I’m going to go soak in a hot bath for an hour. Should I use a bath bomb or bubble bar? Or maybe some jasmine and rose bath oil? Hmmm, so many bath things to choose from. I’m basically in heaven here.
- After Whitney’s spin-off, I’m going to attempt Gilmore Girls Season One, Episode 2. It only took me since Christmas Day to get through Episode 1. I’m not even talking about disc one or season one here. Episodes, haha. You can tell how much I actually watch TV. The moment it goes on, I fall asleep.
- I got a new phone number today and it sucks! Colin joked today that you could just blindly punch your keypad and get through to me. There’s no rhyme or reason to it and I’ll put money on myself carrying that so-called phone number around with me for at least a year. There’s nothing worse than being asked for your number by the bank teller or librarian, squinting your eyes in deep thought, shaking your head and saying, “I dunno….”
- I’m quitting smoking on Thursday. I know, I know. I’ve said it and done it 40+ times over the past few years, but January 1, 2009 is the day. I HATE smoking. I hate coughing. I hate smelling. I hate standing in the cold freezing to get my fix. I hate the control something that’s slowly killing me has over me. The only time I’ve ever been successful quitting was when I did it on a January 1st and it lasted for over three years. It’s time. I’m not even phased either, I effing hate smoking and refuse to burn money and my lungs like that for another week even.
- I recently found my Christmas bonus cheque which miraculously didn’t make it into my bank account to spend on presents. I just deposited it today. Score. See? Karma can be very sweet sometimes. Or perhaps I’m just an airhead who forgot her Christmas bonus cheque at the bottom of her purse. Nah, I like the karma thing better!
Okay, it’s 9pm. Time to go hop in the bath and get this night started (is there anyone out there watching Whitney’s show, too? Didn’t think so!).
Sweet dreams!

Congrats on quitting smoking. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you that it sticks. The tobacco companies suck big time, it’s such nasty addictive stuff. Your girls should be a great motivation for this. My mom died this past summer, she had COPD, brought on by 40 years of smoking cigarettes. It’s heartbreaking and so unnecessary. She did quite, 15 years before she died, and most likely added not just length to her life, but a little bit more quality as well.
Hope you had a great rest of your night.
You can do it!! Seriously! Just think of all the other shit you can spend that money on.. Think of the added years to your life, Think how much HEALTHIER you will be. You won’t get sick as often!! I am your cheerleader!! You can totally do this!!… It’s all about sticking to your guns when everything gets rough!! You rock!! (My BBFF smokes and he quit while he was in basics, haha… Then after he got back still didn’t smoke for a few months until he was stressed….) So I am here.. whatever you need! I might have to have my seester mail me some pom poms though…… XOXO
Yeah for bath bombs – and my personal favorite, emotibombs. You’re gifts sound divine!
Here’s to a healthier, smoke-free Huckdoll in ‘09 – I’m rootin’ for ya!
Good luck to you on quitting smoking. I’ll be sending will power your way to help you out. You’re totally doing the right thing, obviously. I know it’s going to be difficult but if you keep telling yourself what you typed in your post, you will keep what’s important to you in the front of your mind, and you’re doing a great thing for your girls too!
Gooooooooo Jen!
You’ve got another cheerleader in your corner. You can do it. My mom smoked for more than 30 years, but has been smoke free for six or seven now.
Woohoo for found money! I love when that happens!
Also – good luck on quitting smoking! You can do it
You go girl! I know you can do it.
Plus, think of how much more money you’ll have!
Better to have tried and failed 40 times than never tried at all. If I did it and it has lasted almost seven years, you can do it! When I was having a really bad nic fit I would close my eyes and imagine what the smoke was doing to my lungs…. then I would imagine my child smoking… which is what would happen if I kept smoking. That thought always made me stick with it.
When I finally *do* move? That house better have a big enough tub that I can soak in it! Fo sho!
I’m gonna confess. I don’t even know what the Hills or any of those reality shows are. I don’t even know if they are reality shows. I am lame.
Go with the bath bomb next time. Anything that has the word bomb in it’s name is worth going for.
Hopefully your brothers drama will end soon so this can all be done and over. And tell him to change his phone number so the retard can no longer call or text him. And then find somebody to beat her ass. I would do it if you flew me out there. I would knock her teeth out. Okay. I’m not a bad ass but it is fun pretending to be. And you could still fly me out there.
La Senza… mmm I love that shop and we actually have that here in SA!!
Those PJ’s and stuff for the house sound so nice!
Love that the girls are spending time with their dad, it’s very cool!
It’s a bit late for the cow to say sorry, hey? What an idiot!
Good luck with the lawyer – hope that works out for y’all. This Bridgette chicks sounds dangerous All the best with quitting smoking. My husband did it cold turkey after smoking for like 30 years so I am sure you can do it. He used those subliminal message tapes which he listened to every night before bed for a couple of months. He is sure that this is what helped him quit for good.
Totally watched Whitney. WTH is up with the model reject? Get over yourself, hunny. Plus, did you watch Bromance with Brody? Gah, I’m lame.
Tell your brother to KEEP that message from her and show it to his lawyer. And he should keep all the same numbers, while never answering a call or email – just give it all to the lawyer!
Enjoy your bath stuff.
I did not realize there would be a spin off of The Hills, just like I didn’t know that there was such thing as The Hills. Until you got me started. I hate you. I love you.
The same offer still stands with helping any way I can as support for the not smoking thing, but I just can’t drive up there. Well, at least not in a reasonable amount of time. You could come here, though.
Have I told you that my Mom calls me Rory, and I call her Loralei?
Oh, your brother SO needs to show a lawyer that wack-job’s message on his Blackberry. Restraining order my ass. She is SO busted!
I’m with Krissy on the Hills thing – totally clueless. Hell, I’m with Krissy on the bath bomb thing and the whole “bomb is better’ idea!
Colin is too sweet, a good man it seems, and certainly a great father. Yay for him, yay for the girls, and Yay for you too, cause you get to share the girls with someone who is well & truely ‘there’ when it comes to the girls.
Speaking of Yay – Yay for lost checks found!
Geez, nice pkg you got, lady!
And woot on quitting smoking! I’m allergic, so even when I tried to smoke pot in HS it didn’t go too well…I ended up with puffy itchy eyes and itchy throat. AWESOME. Cigarettes give me all that AND migraines and make me feel like a dead person trying to walk and be normal.
I’m totally jealous of that cookie and card making thing going on! lol
