FERRET IN THE APT! In january 2009
There is a hole underneath the baseboard in my spare room and a pet ferret entered the apt.... a month later I started getting eaten alive by bedbugs... (which has since been dealt with)
Moving forward to this past saturday, I'm putting around the apt before heading out to go shopping, and I can smell something funky near my front door. My shoes are in a closet there but I thought to myself, "there is no way that smell can be my shoes, just not possible"...
I left the apt,and the stench was enough to make you gag instantly. It was the neighbours apt! My first inital thought was, "omg she's died in there".
Turns out she MOVED OUT! and they were airing the apt out. I entered the suite taking a look around, (small apt) and it looks like the carpets had NEVER been cleaned, and a window in any room was probably NEVER opened in the 12 years she lived there... omg-the-funky-stench!!!
I always thought the reason the common property hallway area of the building on my floor smelt like garbage in the summer was cos the building was old and there was probably a dead rodent in the wall near my apt.... nope... it was HER APT!
Needless to say, the property management is going to renovate that suite.
my only concern is I get a neighbour that was as quiet as this one.. I mean NO ONE knew she'd even moved out,,, she was that quiet.
I liked her, but I will not miss her and her bedbug riddled ferret.

General Updates
Island guy has been coming over now for two weeks now... 14 more weeks to go.
I must say the first weekend I was "off" not use to having someone else in my apt, let alone living here part time.
Second weekend went much better! I've relaxed somewhat and actually looked forward to seeing this weekend.
In addition to that IG has NEVER been to IKEA!!!! OMG. I thought his head might explode from shear excitement and all the possibilities there are to create from IKEA. He had to tell me several times, that "we do not have an IKEA on the island, so this is exciting".... fair enough.
3 hours later, yes still in Ikea after a full day for both of us... he worked all day with no lunch break (surprised he wasnt super bitchy from lack of food, but he's a trooper) myself I had lost steam from the beer high i was on earlier...
Earlier in the day, I broke down, and went and bought the memory foam for my bed.
(I may be eating noodles for the next two weeks.. so the bills will get paid later in the month than on time)
This was muchly need otherwise a more bitchy me was surfacing much faster than I like... anyways.. off topic..
I went out with a new friend I met on the island. Brian. We have mutual friends and hes a good guy... so while shopping he mentions oh-so-casually, its his birthday.. TODAY!.
well shit. I call a few other friends we have in common and we take Brian out for lunch. A few beers later, I'm drunk, the canucks game has started and IG is arriving home and I'm hyper. HYPER!.. Off to ikea.
I lost my steam, and ended up sitting in a chair in a display and took a power nap.(maybe 5 mins)
Turns out IG was looking for me and walked passed me twice and didnt even notice lol
Got home, ordered in and I promptly fell asleep.
Memory Foam..
OMG I had the best sleep in some time.. I did not hurt whenI woke up. At all!!
YAY ME!
In other news... IG now knows about this Blog.
IG, while you are reading past entries, just know that those are heat of the moment feelings and things have progressed since then...
My blogging is for talking out loud. :)
So Enjoy.

FUCK IT LIST! - Funny.
I started reading a new blog. The Naked Redhead.... nope not porn.
anyways, she wrote the "fuck it list" a list of things you will not die from if you have not done, completed, wanted to do these things.
It was pretty spot on, and I'm sure I will add more to it.
Here is my list (copied from TNR).. Please add a comment and send me your FUCK IT LIST>and explain WHY....
OMG!
I laughed so hard reading this one. And will give some thought to my own Fuck It list.
A few you've already covered for me.
Tattoo's - no thanks, I'm original by not having any.
Babies - knew when I was 9 I would never want any... love them, just dont want them.
(hello all my 7 nieces & nephews I have who are having babies of their own now)
France - I can eat cheese, bread , drink wine, and have love affairs with men who do not speak english here... and its easier on the pocket book.
Jumping out of a plane.- enough said.. ask me again when I hit 50.
Learn a new Lanuage.... I can barely speak this one.
Threesome's. - Well fun at the time and not the for the lazy. My opinion they're OVERRATED!
There is entirely too much going on to truly enjoy yourself or concentrate on what you're doing....
And yes now that I've been there, done that, I have no desire to share myself with more than one person at the same time
....more fuck it list to follow in time.

Was Off Track....
Turns out I have a few more readers than my followers show.
One emailed me recently letting me know or asking me why I was off topic lately.
The blog is suppose to be about my dating life. Well, yes it is, AND as it says in the title, "The Chaos of my life's ADVENTURES" that will, at times, cover more than just my dating life.
If you've read the information about my in my profile, it will cover a few other things other than my dating life.... or lack there of it these days.
I love that this person pointed this out to me although while typing this, I've received an email from them admitting they have not read my profile information.
I have a blog that I use to vent in, this one isnt meant to be that.
I'll try to keep the stories, short and always have a point.

Two little words say soooooo much... "It's Complicated".
I Think the title says it all. End of Post.
Kidding.
I've been reading some dating blogs and a one that writes to me,
"Dating without Drama" Not sure how I ended up on this mailing list, but I'm glad I did. Some very valuable infor there.
As it turns out, I'm normal.
With my thoughts of confusion, giddiness, indifference's, etc... its all normal when it comes to dating.
The phrase/status people use to describe their relationships "It's complicated" makes more sense to me now than ever before.
New guy - D.R.
He's also 26, short, but works in stem cell research.
(ya ya I hear Mrs Robinson playing in the background)
I could see myself "dating" this guy. But we've started off as something more, errr I mean less meaningful. Too put it politely, he's meeting my short term needs. ;P
We get along great! He lives in town, texts me, calls, me, says HI for no reason.
We've disgusted exactly what we are, and its cool. No games, it is what it is.
That's where it becomes complicated. How can you not like someone who you get along with so well, communicate well, super honest from the start. We made plans to just "hang out" this week, no short term needs being met.... So we're what we are, and yet we hang out casually?
Ya, It's Complicated.
I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I've dating exclusively in the past and for many many years. I thought, you meet, you like, you date, you're dating, then you're exclusive. I don't remember dating more than one person ever til I turn 30. Then all of a sudden, I'm dating several men. Sometimes none.
I could say, I'll change my ways, cos I really don't dig dating more than two men at time, and my old rule was, once intimate, you were exclusive.
Those rules don't apply anymore. As much as I could live by them, the men I'm dating do not. So whats the point?
Maybe I'll start dating men from a church. Or from the far east like Nova Scotia, Halifax. Anyone I've met further east than Ontario, seem to have a whole other set of rules, manners, principles, morals that I Love!!
One problem... those men are already taken!
"It's complicated" now has a whole new meaning to me, a life of its own. Its a phrase/word that its self explanatory to most who have ever been in this sort of position. It's a complete sentence, it's a whole story. Two little words.
IT'S COMPLICATED.
