Don't hate me because i'm beautiful

I'm back!!!! Almost forgot my login credentials! Just barely managed to get thru xmas. It was the busiest xmas selling season ever for me this year. what can go wrong..actually did. Will not bore myself with any details and i rather forget all about December 2011. A  new year has begun and again i remain optimistic and look forward to another roller coaster year  full of fun, challenges, ups and downs and life. I promise myself this year to take better care of myself because i deserve it. Just want to send out a message to the world tonight..." don't hate me because i'm beautiful". Just so you and i know.. i hate that fucn song, just fucn hate it. I caught myself singing it a few times today, but only because i hate it and was simply just making fun of that fucn song..I hope to blog more often this year for my personal enjoyment. This takes my mind off work and that is good for me... My brain sometimes gets overwhelmed and if I don't practice some personal balance soon i might fall off my rocker. Take care world. I always welcome anonymous comments from visitors whoever the fuc you may be...Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas..not happy fucn holidays...it's Merry Christmas in Canada and if you don't like Christmas then go take a holiday somewhere else. Did you know the word holiday actually derived from ."Holy Day". Go figure! Canada's Junior hockey team plays Russia tonight!!!! We're going for Gold . Canada will win, any bets? Take care and so long for now!

Pickeral Creek

could not rotate

Wow what a day! Beautiful blue sky,warm breeze and breathtaking scenery. Went on a fishing trip to Pickeral Creek yesterday with some friends. Could not have found a better way to spend my day..what was left of it! Took awhile for me to get going but when we did I did not want to look back..heck I didn't want to come back! Let my pictures take you on my journey towards Pickeral Creek! Come on now.. keep up with me! These pictures were taken using my Blackberry and did not turn out as good as i hoped. I'm not much for picture taking with a picture camera! I did take my Kodak with me but whatta you know, the fucn battery in it was dead! I cursed, then I cursed some more!

Sour Cream and Chive Salmon



Must try!

 Mmmmmmmmmm! This is good too! Bake your Salmon the way you like. After salmon is cooked pour on this delicious sour cream and chive sauce. Here's the recipe!! Very easy and fast to prepare. And Holi Smokes, it is really really good!
2 tbsp Sour Cream
1tbsp Milk
2 tbsp Miracle Whip
1/2 tsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Horseradish
1 tbsp Chives or Green Onion
Salt n Pepper to taste
Mix all together and pour over your cooked Salmon. Wow! I don't think I could eat Salmon any other way! My only disappointment is that I don't have alot of friends that enjoy fish as much as I do, so the whole experience was kinda ... lonely! I went to Andrea's after for some pudding! Jello Pudding, Choc and Vanilla Jello Pudding from a package! It was ok!
Cheers!

Fish and Brew

Nothing says delicious more than a good feed of fish and brew! I'm really missing the east coast! So i decided to give myself a treat tonight. My house even smells like the east coast after cooking up these great tasting fish cakes. All I'm missing now is my Oil Skin jacket and Sou wester!!! You got to try this incredible recipe. Oh my goodness! Served best with Rickard's Red! Here's the recipe!

1 lb fish-Cod or Haddock
2 Med Potatoes
1 cup Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Parsley
2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese Grated
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Pepper
2 Eggs slightly beaten

Boil and mash potatoes. Boil fish until flakes easy. Drain and remove any bones. Mix fish and potatoes and ingredients by hand. Form into cakes and fry on med to high heat. Does not takes long to fry so be careful not to burn. Serve with your favorite beer!

Tyler's Bachelor Party

Well tonight I got sucked into hosting another bachelor party! Twice now in Cross Lake i've hosted a bachelor party. It's because I'm bachelor king!These guys are so young and I have a hard time trying to figure them out! LMFAO!! One of them half my age is getting married! Tyler works with me at the store. He"s the one in the middle of this picture. This guy deserved a good party! I spent most of my time that night on my computer! I kicked eveyone out at around 3am. I had enuf of them. They were getting loud. This will be my last bachelor party. I'm done.  It was my pleasure to help him out and send him off into the magical world of holy fucn matrimony! Trent Spence, Tyson Blacksmith, and two other guys plus Tyler K. All the best to you Tyler! Party on!

Hi

I'm back!!!!! Not that too many ppl missed me i'm sure but that's ok. I do like communicating with myself. I now have high speed internet service from Rogers. It's wicked! I also purchased another cell phone!!! Like I need another cell phone bill. I don't even remember my new cell number! I've been very busy as usual. Heading to Wpg again next week for meetings. Lucky me. anybody need anything? Let me know asap. not much else to blog about really. it's feeling alot more like spring this week. Last week we had a crazy snow storm of sorts. Shits loads of snow fell overnight. it was sickening. Cheryl please give me a call because i do not have your phone #! I need to go do something else right now. Later!

Guess which one is actually me?

In my younger days! Picture of me , my brother and cousin! I get a kick out of looking at this picture once in awhile, because in my head i still look the same!!!! LMFAO!

See ya Later!

Well Cheryl left today! On her way to Fort Smitty in the NWT. Wow, where did the last 6 months go! It seems like yesterday when she walked into our store all full of wonder and excitment, probably thinking to herself-"what the heck have I got myself into" .  she graduated from her DMIT course with honors and left a huge void in our store and our lives as she heads toward another Northern Experience. I've never had any other transient DMIT/MIT who made such a positive impact in the store and  my personal life. It was refreshing to have someone to talk shop with after hours. Someone who really fucn understood me! That's rare in my retail world.Someone who really gets it! Someone who understands the power of communication. Someone who understand the importance of building a strong team of capable employees. Someone who clearly demonstrates one of our core principles-Passion-commits to doing great work! Finally someone else  who gets it! All  the best to you Cheryl. It was a great pleasure working with you and thank you  for being a part of our lives. Will miss your gourmet dinner parties and your gastronomical delights.  Keep her going girl!

Me n Cheryl

This me and Cheryl at Paint Lake back in December! We just got back from a refreshing walk around the lake in front of the cabin. You would think Andrea would have had a hot cup of hot chocolate waiting for us upon our return...Not!!!I thought the picture was kinda of cool. Feel free to comment on how handsome I look!  Enjoy.

I'm wireless again !

Well whatta you know! I set up my router agian, the one that I thought was a piece of shit?!?! Well now it's working just great. I'm no longer hard wired in my computer room. I'm sitting naked in my living room as I'm typing this blog post. Well not really naked, I'm wearing socks. I've had bad luck lately. Last night while talking to my parents , I went to go check up on my roast I was cooking in the oven. I took the roast out of the oven and my damn glass roasting dish exploded when i added some water to it. It freaked me out! This is starting to sound like Hendrik's Shit Bird Story isn't it? I don't mean it to but it sorta does. I was so looking forward to that roast last night. It was smelling very nice , I seasoned it with Montreal steak spice, i had veggies on the go and the works. I was really hoping to sink my teeth into some cooked roast beef. I couldn't believe how much it exploded. glass flew directly accross the kitchen, pieces of glass was even found in the living room. It was everywhere. I cursed as i took the roast and threw in the garbage. I was a bit tempted to eat the fucn thing but was afraid I'd get a bleeding areshole the next day. And today after work, I lost my blackberry. I love my new cell phone! I was panicking! I went to the store after getting off work ,twice before i found it in the markng room right where i left it. fuc i say to myself, what next???? Then this wireless idea came to my head after talking to Andrea on my new blackberry! My luck shifted to the better. My wireless router is working. I'm happier now, much happier. thank you Jesus!

Cyber Clean!

Ever heard of this product called Cyber Clean??? What a rip-off! It's a home and office -"High tech Cleaning Compound" that's supposed to deep clean electronic equipment. I picked it up in Thompson this past week-end. I found in the Canadian tire store sitting in this wonderful displayer on the sales floor. The displayer even had a video, playing an infomercial about the lousy shit! I was so excited to try it out on my Blackberry and my dirty old lap top. The product looks and feels like a glob of neon yellow goooo! The idea is to take this shit and simply press and pull and the dirt and grime from your equipment is to pull off onto this snotty goooo stuff. Well it does not do shit! If you see this product anywhere on your travels, give the displayer a good kick with your right foot , right up it's arse!
Thank -you!
Cyber Clean my Ass!

I"m Backkkkkkkkk!!!!!

I'm just getting back from our meetings in Wpg. Wow what a week! Really enjoyed the work shops and trade show. Our store received alot of recognition and awards. You really come back with a great feeling of success. Of all the things I'm proud of the most is Tyler's President's award for Learning. I can't express how proud I am of his achievement. Tyler is an incredible employee and an inspiring young man. There are days while at work I observe his interaction with staff, his merchandising skills, his knowledge of the business, his leadership skills, how he can remain calm and collective while under stress and his ability to get the job done, just amazes me to no end.  He is certainly a role model for others in the community and I wish him nothing but the best going forward. Thank you Tyler for doing what you do each and every day! Other store achievements included getting in the the top ten of 3 categories, food sales improvement, Gm Sales improvement and Store Contibution, more than any other sotre in our group. How about that eh???? We won Bronze for Gm sales improvement and still waiting for Year end results on the Contribution category. With that being said, I'm also very proud of Cindy and her team. Wow what a year for GM sales and I can't wait to present the award. We rock!!!!! Cindy and her team work hard each and every day takin care of customers and staying in tune with day to day operations with the goal in mind to exceed targets. Much like her nephew Tyler, Cindy is an achiever and a great merchandiser. Her great sense of humor every day sets the mood in our store even while under pressure to meet deadlines and to keep on top of a million things that need to get done each and every single day. What a team, what a year ahead we have, we now must challenge ourselves even harder and aim higher more than ever. We can do it! I leave you with some inspiring words from our VP- " If not You, Who? If not Now, When?

Day Off

Have the day off tomorrow!!!! In Wpg on a day off!!!!! Is good! What to do? Gotta get my tire fixed. Maybe go to Polo Park spend some more money then back to hotel and relax a bit and work on my speech some more. I'm still sweating over that friggin speech. I must keep reminding myself - We get what we expect. i'm going to do that speech and do it well! Will post some pics from Awards Night and my presentation. I'll be back...

Day-2

Meetings start at 9:30 today. I like that! Over at 4:30 and day off tomorrow!!! How bout that eh? Yesterday's meeting went really well, i was chosen at the last minute to give a testamonial on opening and closing checklist for stores. The person that was supposed to rise up and speak didn't make it to the meetings for some reason. Why I keep getting chosen for stuff like this I really don't know. I do my best to stay out of the spotlight but for some reason every now and then it gets pointed my way. Oh well. Really cold down here again this morning, -30 , with the windchill I'm sure it's must lower. Must go down and face the weather for another smoke.

Winnipeg- Meetings

Well, we made it here! Drove highway 6 for almost 12hrs but we finally made it here at 1130pm. Tyler drives like an old lady. Meetings start tomorrow, lucky lucky me. Hoping this week goes really fast. Any one need anything from The Peg? Let me know, call me, text me, leave a comment on my blog, send a fax, telegram, mail, or whatever else works for you. Heading back home on Saturday Feb-5. Later ppl!

What's Wrong?

No one has keft me any commnets lately. Not sure if it's a result of my most recent blog or what? I'm a bit disappointed because now I feel like I'm just on my keyboard here and blogging to no one but myself. How fucn boring is that??? I'm thinking lately that i should just retire from blogging. What's the point!!!! Hi Richard, how the fuc are you? Really enjoyed your last post. Hope you are feeling better. Must have been awful going thru your shitty days with no one there to help out with your problem! See, I'm blogging to myself. Heading to Winnipeg this week, have an annual conference to attend. I gotta write a speach for an award receipiant and read it out loud in front of the entire company! Wish me luck! Does anyone even look at my blog anymore?

Not 100%

Yuks, I felt really terrible all day today. I've must have been on my throne 20 times already. I'm starting to feel a little better after eating some salted crackers and a Banana. Things that are supposed to help when you are having a shitty kinda day! what do you eat when you r having a shitty kind of day??? Right now I'm eating Probiotic yogurt to help me with my shitty day. Tea is supposed to be good for you as well, especially herbal teas like chamomile, so that is what I'm drinking right now. I like to know what you eat when you have these kind of days? could you please let me know? I leave you with a short little poem.

POO PANTS

When you get the cramps
You almost poo in your pants!
That would not be good

You just wanna sleep all day
But your digestive system says no way!
So you suffer and suffer til it goes away

When you get the shits
And you are bloating and crampy too
Just remember in your pant is not a good place to poo.

Shit I didn't know until now!

One in 500 ppl are born with one blue eye and one brown eye. I myself have a Eye Stye!!!!!!!!! Fuc!!!
Snakes sleep with two eyes open! Too much coffee??????????
Hamsters are very far sighted creatures. Who cares!
The giant squid has the largets eyeball of anything else-18 in accross, the size of a beach ball!

Of all the muscles in the human body, the eye muscles are the most active. Some ppl, their mouth!
Getting ready for work now. It's Sunday. No one should work on Sunday!
