Oh Mom....you di'nt

Since I dragged Matt to Lowell Ive been hyping him up for the various Lowellian events. Threre was the the rib'n brews festival, Lowell folk festival, City of Lights Parade and now the long awaited Winter Fest!

While I'm telling my family how excited we are my Mom bats my arm and starts laughing hysterically "I'm a musher, I'M A MUSHER! and they are making me dress like a PARROT" More cackling proceeded.

I have other friends in this race too, this should be interesting.

broken loo loo

Went for my follow up for mah bellah. It's getting better but I'm still not 100%. she suggested this thing where you swallow and camera on a string, I however suggested I give it another month and eat better (eek!). She said sure.

Then we went over my sleeping habits, or lack there of and she asked "how long w/the insomnia" and i said "bout five years" and she re'd "KRISTA!?" We chuckled a bit and I told her i hate taking medication but i was really really tired never mind I'm a crank pot (affectionately called by matt)

So I'm on Ambien for two weeks. So doing some research I read:

New York attorney Susan Chana Lask discusses a lawsuit she filed on behalf of so-called sleep-eaters — individuals who claim that Sanofi-Aventis’s sleep-aid, Ambien, caused them to eat at night but wake up in the morning with no memory of having done so. The New York Times reported on the phenomenon today. According to the article, many of the patients don’t remember eating, but they find evidence in the form of Tostitos in their bed and mouths filled with peanut butter.

haha!

Janet Friday Five

From Janet

1. Today I want....to it everything in the word with cheese on top. (TOM)
2. If only ....I could eat the house and not gain
3. Once upon a time ....I weighed 118 and thought i was FAT.
4. Cold weather ...allows me to use my fireplace. I love it
5. Dude! OMG ...I ordered a treadmill, Im going to be a hot bride. I said

I heart S*ars

They were offering 0% interest of fitness equip but when I went online to order a treadmill, the offer didn't seem available. So I called s*ars and the guy told me that it had in fact expired. Thats a bummer! I said. But then he says "but hey guess what? i can give it to you anyway" yay! It was either this or join a gym. I love the gym but I love my house. And I'm lazy.


Good news. I was down 1.4 Wednesday. The Crab rangoons did not beat me!

Oh but thats not the only reason why i heart s*ars. Butt Buy can suck my ass for the way that they've treated me. I still don't have my range (they were supposed to come last week, never showed) and they called Wednesday to inform me the DW I ordered (THREE FKN WEEKS AGO) was never going to come and to "go ahead and just pick another". I told them no thank you and that I'd buy it somewhere else.

Oh, that was a little ranty. But man i REALLY miss having a DW.

*pouts* bratt

A new Love

gauc

There is this stuff. I hated it, if it was on my plate I'd gasp, make and scene and push it off to the side like I had just discovered a dead roach in my plate, or something.

What is the foul thing I speak of?

Guacamole.

Then one day, while I was up at Matt's parents house, I tried it. I was STARVING and everyone was eating it like it was their last snack, ever.

So I did it, I took the plunge and dipped my chip. And then dipped again, again, again, knocked down the three year old (get out my way lady, there is DIP) so I could have more.

The problem is now I cant get enough and the supermarket hardly carries it, but boy if they do? I buy it in bulk and make sure that I eat it all by the expiration (don't want to be wasteful!)

Does anyone know how to make this green gunk?

I love new music and ramblings

WEll new to me. I love me some Sunday Morning (why yes I am 90). Well they featured an artist, Regina Spektor. A little Tori sans wrist slitting. Check her out if you like that sort of thing.

Anywho, My pampered chef party was a sassy bonanza of women, mimosas and bloody marys. I had about fourteen people in my living room, I don't know how but I did. I appreciate so much everyone that took the time to come and play. It meant the world to me, really.

I'm so busy at work. I think I'm getting burnt out. Same place, same work, same boss, fifteen years albeit an accomplishment is wearing on me. Things are looking pretty busy for the next couple of months, I hope I can keep up the pace with out a complete melt down.

Oh, So I'm supposed to have 21 points a day right? I had 65 Saturday *oink* me like crab rangoon(s)(s)(s)(s).

I did manage to lose 3.5 last week. Im apprihensive to see what this Wednesday brings after the rangoon mayhem. rangoonmayhem.com ha.

GI Loo

GI LooOK now i guess the whole story about how I actually GOT the Marshall's bookshelf is pretty funny (according to Meg).

So I was bored and I needed a bookshelf. I went to Marshall's because recently they have added a pretty decent home accents section. I walk in and there she was, a spot light came down from the heavens, the angels sang that AHHHHHHHH and I shed a little tear. That's was IT, exactly what I have been looking for.

Only one problem.

Some blond beyatch was hovering around it like a vulture, guarding that bad larry with her life. She had a gazillion things in her hand and it appeared that she was looking for her husband or someone to walk by. But i stayed calm folks, I was stealth, hid like a sniper yo. I waited by the faux finish chairs, palms sweaty, eyes squinted.

OH my goodness shes was leaving the area. I REPEAT THE VULTURE IS VACATING THE PREMISE!

Stealth Loo go's in and with one swoop I pick it up and run for cover.

You kow that james bond theme? I was singing it in my head but only with Loo's LooLooLoo, LooLooLoo, LooLooLoo, LooLoo.

and that my friends is a true story for all your grandkids

over and out,
Loo

matt pops corn and he dont care

matt pops corn and he dont care,
originally uploaded by kritta21.
Looks like we got the fire place up and running just in time! Matt tried to make popped corn for Little Miss Sunshine movie night and well, it didn't quite work out. And he burnt my shamrock pot holder!

It is time once again to lose all sense of reason and watch an obscene amount of television. One, because its cold and two, because its American Idol time and three, because I said. The first thing i did was set up mah season pass and we are ready to go. Last night was just OK though.

The house is coming along. The stove and fridge are moved to there appropriate places. I ordered the last of the lighting fixtures for the dining room.

Monday, January 15, 2007

And then there was the electric service

Last week and this weekend I had my electrician over adding this and that but most importantly changing out mah fuse box to a sassy panelboard (breaker box). I also ordered some lights. I chose this for the kitchen and that for the bathroom. Now I'm on the great search for a dining room chandelier, something like this. Designing lighting for a living has its pros and cons. Pro, you get stuff cheap, con you are exposed to to much and get overwhelmed with ideas. Fortunately my home has to stay more classic, to the period that it was built so that has narrowed my choices. I love this but it would look hella goofy in our little doll house.

Saturday night I bar hopped with some friends. We felt old and it was sad but we still had fun. I think a drank and ate a week worth of points Saturday alone. oops.

Friday Fill In

From Janet

1. I enjoy my Matthew more than anything else.
2. Blogging satisfies my need for blabbing about anything.
3. When I look at a full moon, I feel like howling .
4. I like to listen to music when I'm working out and cooking .
5. My favorite moment of 2006 was when Matt asked me to be his forever. eh eh ehhhhhh hes in for it.

And in another effort to lose weight....

I fully joined WW. Last year I was recording my points on line I lost ten but then gained five over vacation/holidays. Not soooo bad.

The meeting was great, lots of joking but better, tons of identifying. I went to Megs for first timer support. I find the big difference between on line and going to the meetings is getting the hairy eyeball when you get on the scale. I remember when I saw the nutritionist in my early 20's, that's how I dropped thirty real fast, It's like failing a test!

The great thing is my gown fits, I now just want it to fit better.

Now, if i could just get my ass out of bed to work out.

You have got to be kidding

What the FUCK!? I just went to go pee and someone smeared poops all over the seat. So guess what else is in my job description? Well, not wiping up poops but writing the service requests for maintenance. How the hell does one write up "clean this shit" literally.

Obviously scarred i had to IM all my friends

k: someone like shit all over the seat in the one stall bathroom and left it
E: WHAT
E: oh my god that is so f-ing disgusting
E: it must have been a real emergency IBS incident
k: so i have to write a service request
E: Someone done shat the seat
E: Pls clean.
E: Thx
E: Krista

k: someone like shit all over the seat in the one stall bathroom and left it
matt: ewwww
matt: like diarrhea or logs?
k: poopyrhea
matt:yuck

k: someone like shit all over the seat in the one stall bathroom and left it
a: clearly they missed the memo that you should poop IN the potty, not ON the potty

Service Request:

Description:Bathroom toilet

Entered By:
Krista
Requestor Location: bathroom at conference
Priority: High

Problem:
There isn't a nice way to say this but someone defecated all over the seat of the toilet.

Also, when is the bathrooms in my area going to be finished?

And then there were window treatments


I got these for the living, this for the dining, for the kitchen, for the master, for the guest, for the office/krista's art room/matt's reading arear and 03768176 CD's. And above, from Pottery Barn Kids, the valences for the kitchen! How FUN are those?

All coming together.

Whew. I ordered the last of the appliances (sassy range and dishwasher to match sassy frig) last night. The electrician is coming over tomorrow to start the work and then my Dads coming over to move my gas line to where I think sassy stove should be.

Very exciting! I also decided to keep the cabinets. I think after I put in the new appliances I'll be happy with the kitchen. I was thinking to myself, self? why are you replacing white cute antique cabinets with white cabinets that have an antique look? So, I'm going to replace the GROSS tile, counter tops and change the hardware for much much less.

Now, on to picking paint colors.

Scary Movie Lovers

The Descent is the new scary in my top five:

10. Carrie (They're all gonna laugh at you)
9. Poltergeist (Do NOT go into the light)
8. Silence of the Lambs (you smell my what?)
7. The Sixth Sense (I see dead peoples)
6. What Lies Beneath (You stole the dead woman's shoe?)
5. The Blair Witch Project (Witches in days gone by were roasted just like my Vienna sausage. )
4. The Amityville Horror (geeeeet ooooout)
3. The Ring (She never sleeps)
2. The Descent (Hey, there's something down here... )
1. The Exorcist (Lick me, Lick me)

The Descent made me scream at least three times. I think my screaming scared Matt more than the movie. Sheesh, my little heart!

Sunday, January 7, 2007

Love her!

Love her!
Love her!,
originally uploaded by kritta21.
I have to thank E for a fabulous Dinner as well as the most thoughtful gift. I finally have an easel thanks to her! Can you believe I didn't have one? Matt doesn't paint w.one, he paints on his belly (weird artist type i guess)

Today I had so much fun over Dackel Princesses loving all over her puppies. I can't even begin to explain the happiness it brought just to be around these little angels for a few hours. But Poor Hubby, we were all yapping and at one point he yells "I CAN'T believe you're not watching this!!!" (pats game) YES! Very exciting win indeed for the home team.

After the puppy love fest Janet and I went to Concord to try and find some dinner, after we drove threw a deserted Concord center we came upon a mirage....one of my favorite (and now Janet's) restaurants The Common Man. I got, get this, steak w/a gorgonzola chocolate sauce. Oh mah yumness!

Friday, January 5, 2007

Fill ins from Janet bo banet

1. Those little squids, I had in my seafood fra diavalo once *herk* (I'll only eat them fried) are the grossest thing I ever ate.
2. I like to put cheese wiz, cheese spread, cheese slices (see a connection?) on my crackers.
3. I crave chips, then chocolate, then chips (and sometimes ice cream) at night.
4. I always add ummmmm pan cake mix to my pancake batter.
5. When I think of comfort food, I think of Shepard's pie!

Whats going on?

chairsThis weekend is jammed packed with excitement. Tonight is dinner over E's with A and M and lots of wine. I made a cheesecake and burnt it. I found out the hard way that my oven temperature is off. I crushed 40 Nilla Wafers for NOTHING!

Tomorrow Matthews Pappi is coming over to work on our fire place and give us wood. We'll finally get to have a fire, although its fifty in January so I'm not quite sure when. Oh and deliver the two GORGEOUS Adirondack chairs they bought us for a house warming gift!

Then Sunday I'm off with Janet to harass some puppies.

The Boss

So i look over and see my boss taping his pocket knife to a fed ex tube...hmm suspicious....i look over a minute later and see him doing this.

bossloo

Then this transpires.

Me: ammm whacha doing over there Sir?
Boss: argh. I have no airflow in my office and its very frustrating. *pokes ventilation control panel on the duct thats 16' above us*
Me: why don't i just call the mgmt co and have them come with a ladder and the necessary tools.
Boss: Oh! thats a wonderful idea. What would i do without you.

Fall down and break your ass, i think to myself. Ive been here 12 years and ill be 29 soon. its nice to know he would be utterly lost.

tootie Hips are the new pink

Once upon a time there was a girl named Loo.

She drank 40 oz of water and as a result she had to go peepee. She went to the restroom to take care of the business. While looking down to her powder blue panties she noticed something was a bit askew. She took another look, and upon closer examination she realized that her cotton crotch was missing. "Where could it be?" She wondered. She expected that perhaps it came off in the washer or dryer. However, after closer inspection, it became apparent that she put her undies on sideways; that her her cotton crotch was indeed, on her hip. "Do I take off my pants and turn them around" she asks herself in the stall........

No, because then her crotch would be at her hip and it would make her anxious all day.

meg gan: you didn't move it around?
krista: bleh then where tootie was would be on my hip
meg gan: so?
krista: I'd be a tootie hip
krista: it bothered me
krista: lol erin said the same thing
krista: shes like whats wrong with you?!
meg gan: i think tootie hips are hot. all the cool kids are wearing em
