2 sapadilla and a 9 inch banana

So Meli does this random thought Tuesday thingie, so I have decided to do a random thought on a random day type thingie too.

1. My mother's family. Can I tell you how they piss me off so. One of my dad's best friends sister died yesterday in Trinidad. This would be the fourth or fifth death in so many months. That's one family that's having trying times, and my heart goes out to them all. Now, my mother's stinkin family, the issues that lie within them go back as far as I can remember. Now maybe it's because they there are alot of children in the family (in mine, we only have Meli and me, so we really can't take sides. I think the last time we really really fought Meli moved out, so I won that fight :D), or that they are spoiled, or maybe even because they are healthy and no one thinks they are going to die anytime soon, but whatever the reason may be, they love causing dramam within that family. Now, my dad comes from a big family as well, and they do fight. But they make up just as much as Meli and I do, even between all 6 of their siblings. Maybe it's the space between them. They're spread out all over the place, as opposed to my moms who live closely in Trinidad and Canada. Whatever, they need to grow the hell up and start acting like family. As soon as one of them passes away, I'm not even sure that they would start talking again. They don't realise that they have family and they should cherish it instead of taking advantage of it. Just grow up already. Life is to short to hold grudges.

2. I got my arms waxed on Friday. Meli had gotten hers done for her wedding and it lasted fairly long. She said we were just going to get it priced. When we got there she lied and wanted to get it done. While she was getting hers done, she didn't even flinch. Then it was my turn. IT HURT LIKE A BITCH!!! But I did it. And I have to admit, it looks nice. But it has started growing back already.

3. Baby was reading a Robert Munsch book and it had a picture of the CN Tower made of sand. She pointed it out and identified it. Them she pointed out some other stuff, and was like "it's a big clock" So I corrected her and said "no, it's called Big Ben". She then replied, "I know and it's in London, England. I watch tv you know."

4. Baby was sick and therefore was pale. She asked me to look at her hands and then I said that they looked "white". She suddenly started crying and I asked why. She then said in between fits of crying that she didn't want to be albino and she was going to die when she goes into the sun.

That's it!

Hello, my name is llleeesssaaa.......

.....and I am a spendaholic.

Not shopaholic, because, not only do I crave designer ANYTHING, I crave spending money. On food, on clothes, on gym memberships for gyms that I don't go to anymore, on blockbuster movies and library book that are always returned late. If there is a sure fire way to spend money (or in some cases lose i.e. getting an $50 speeding ticket, but not paying it and then having a $250 fee to re-instate my license because of the unpaid ticket), I have done it.

Now I am in debt.

We have decided that since we both have approximately the same amount of debt, we will do this together. We did not accumulate the debt the same way, though. Her hubby and myself think along the same lines, only he makes double what I make, and they have a mortgage to pay for, and payments on the car, and they are raising twins. Key word there, is "THEY" as oppossed to just me, who lives at home with my parents and my car is basically paid off for.

So, yeah, this is going to be an interesting journey.

She already has plans of cutting back and saving, and even earning extra income meanwhile I have just spent $302 on Disney on Ice tickets, and I now have to fix my car, which is going to cost $1,000.

Yup, interesting indeed.

c.r.e.a.m

cash rules everything around me

dolla dolla bills y'all

So this past weekend the Lotto 649 jackpot was the second largest in history at $45 million. Got me thinking what I would do if I happened to come across that much moolah.
Here's a list of things I would do/buy (not in any particular order)
1. Quit my job
2. Buy some real estate in Hawaii
3. Give some money to my parents and Meli. No one else, if my parents want, they can divy up their money to family and friends
4. I lie, I would proabaly give some to a couple friends
5. A new car
6. A trip to Disney World AND Disney Land
7. I would arrange a trip for Meli and I to go around the world.....EATING!!! hahah, we would try worldy cuisine literally in their countries!!!
8. I would invest in some real estate in Dubai.
9. I would open a yacht rental company in Bora Bora and the Caribbean.
10. Retire.

That's it for now.

My list is probably why I haven't won the lottery yet, because I have too many plans for the money.

In a feeble attempt to block out being single on Valentines Day.......

Oh, how I love her, let me count the ways.......

So Baby and I were watching the new Taylor Swift song 'White Horse' last night on youtube and at the end Baby says to me "that video was sad. It makes me feel like crying", and she promptly starts to cry. It was soooo cute. Then to make her feel better I let her watch the Taylor Swift song 'Love Story' and she was happy again. The girl ended up having her happy ending.
Another time, Baby wanted to go to Auntie Meli's house, and I was too lazy and just plain didn't want to go, so I told her no, I don't want to drive to Auntie's house. SHe was adamant to the point where I was sure she would steal my keys and try to to drive herslf. Instead, she ask my dad to drive her. She evens says she'll pay him to drive her there. I was like with what money are you trying not bribe your grandfather with, and she responds that she's not really going to pay him, that just her way of begging.
Last Valentines Day, she came to the conclusion that she doesn't want candy, chocolate or flowers. She wants diamonds.
And lastly, she wants to get married to either me or her cousin, Marky, because she loves us.
We love her.
