What the hell is wrong with this entring a blog.

I am now looking moving to another spot...will let u know where after i set it up.

New Blog

This weekend i did a clean sweep of my kitchen living room and part of my bedroom.  Maybe not a clean sweep like the show, by removing all stuff and deciding what stay, trash, give away.  I just did the clean up routine.  Man i wish i could rearrange again.  But my pieces of furniture are too big for one person to move around.  But just having this place in clean order is great, refreshing.

Feel like i've starting to dig myself out of a rut.  I rut i didn't think i was in until now.

I'm ecstatic...but before i get into it,  i'll answer my comment.
The purpose of my visit was to visit with family and friends.  I spent alot of time this trip back home visiting with Grandma & Grandpa and my Aunt, Uncle Cousin, Cousins wife and two daughters.  It was so nice to have the visit and to eat some homecooked food.  Boy the moose steak was awesome.  I don't eat wild meat often but when i do i really enjoy it.

As to my good news, my date last night was great.  He is 5 years older, a phys Ed teacher but this yr teaches a 7/8 split.  He has blonde hair, blue eyes, so kind.  The date was so comfortable.  I feel really at ease.  The uncomfortable silents were not many or didn't even feel uncomfortable.  Well he asked me to come for a movie again tonight.  Of course, i went.  I just feel like i know him, it's that comfy.  He has a 5 year old daughter that lives with him parttime.  Things are good...no plans for the next date but i know there will be one.

Ecstatic news

Not sure if i mentioned to tblog land, that my position at work might be changing.  Today, i got word that yes it's going ahead if i'm willing and planning on staying with the company.  The HR manager won over the CFO and the senior accountant.  The Senior accountant was reluctant to let me go to HR cause of the asset i am to them right now.  My Financial Statements this month were flawless, and i'm all trained in trailer sales. What the HR manager mentioned that the company is looking for a person to replace the duties i hold with the exception of payroll.  The vision right now is that the HR manager and i will go to the new renovated area, this means no more answering reception phone calls. YEEaaah.  We will share the space with the IT person and maybe anyone new in the future.  This sounds so good and i'm so looking forward to it.  I know i could help the company so much in this position.  The HR manager is already overwhelmed with projects and wants me to help him now.  But he knows how my work load is right now and has not asked for much help on his current projects.

Boy was i glad, it was 5:00 and all the girls had left for the day as i could not tear the grin off my face.  I'm curious to know when the admin staff wiill find out i'm going to the HR position.  All i know is that i will not be telling them, that's not my job, it should be from upper management.

HR manager shared his vision that he sees, in the future he envisions me training a payroll administrator to take over my payroll duties so i can focus more on HR issues with him.  The meeting started at 3:30 and lasted till 5:00 but his conversation with me about the job being mine was short 15 mins.  Ideas and projects he has on the go currently sound interesting and i'm excited to be a part of them.  Our website need updating badly and he would love to say to me "Rainbowannie, the budget is $10,000 do the research, find the ppl to do it and get it done right."  Quality is the issue on the speed as he stated to me, need to understand that.

I could go on and on but i might be boring you and i'm sure i'll have more to post in the future.

Rainbowannie :D

Raven, didn't give u a call as i though you would be home at the farm all weekend.  I shouldn't have assumed.

The trip home was great.  Tommorrow i'll add another entry, with pics.

Had a good date tonight.  Oh i can tell, all my readers are waiting in anticipation for the saga to continue.

Till tommorrow

Slopitch

I was reelected (i'm treasurer) by alculation(sp?) because no one else wanted to run. Yeah for me.  I enjoy it, i'm starting to meet new ppl.  For the Annual General Meeting i wad totally prepared,  I had the financial statements all done up and only one person asked a question about donations paid.  I had the answer off the top of my head.  Guess that's what preparing and getting the f/s in tip top shape does.
I stayed after the meeting, enjoyed some beers and coke (strange mix i know) and visited with some ppl.  I was given a compliment by a lady(previously on board) she mentioned "Oh i know Rainbowannie has that bill&n bsp;cause she's organized." or something like that  Not sure how she knows this, from seeing me at meeting maybe or could be from talking to the other ppl on the executive board. i enjoyed visiting with the new ppl, but boy oh boy i'm shy sometimes.  Never seem to have much to talk about.  I think i get nervous/quiet with a group larger than 3.  Think i need to have some prepped topics/jokes.

Weight issues

I'm at a very high weight right now.  It's getting so annoying, it's limited the clothes i can wear.  I'm sure my coworkers are wondering if i own any nice dress pants.  I say the pants i wear are on the casual side but i'm not purchasing anything bigger.

I've started back into the exercising again.

So far this week,

Sunday - 1 1/2 Soccer practice
Monday - 1/2 hour yoga
Tuesday - 1/2 hour soccer practice

Wednesday - attending a yoga class at my gym
Thursday - not sure as i'm coming Home.  Raven you around we should meet up.

There that's a long blog

I wonder did i ever finish off my Monica story, i should check, that would be a blog for another day

Why can't the ppl at visa understand and read their notes regarding my account.  I have decreased or refused a credit limit in the past what makes you think i want to increase it to 3800.  Yeah i know so i can pay them more interest but why do i have to make that phonecall to reduce the credit limit.
Read your notes visa ppl.

:shock: Rainbowannie

I've gotten so lazy.  Okay well maybe at times.  This afternoon being one of them.  Probably should go for a snooze but it's suppertime; then again here i am posting a blog.

Tear me away form this evil black box.   Please........i beg of you.

At work, biweekly we have a visiter from the the Nut man....we have a lady that sells treats, nuts or chocolates or combinations of treats, sweets.  Anyways, she was selling these cheap 2.50 witch hats and the ladies at work mentioned that we all need to purchase one to wear on Monday. 

Now the problem.  I feel i should dress the part of this witch.  But what kind of witch should i be.  The good witch of the west (Oz), etc.  As for items i have at home to accompany this getup include:

• Red hair die, gold, blue or green (wash out)


• Black dress


• Thigh high socks


• my friend is given me green face paint and a witch nose.


• Straw broom

I'm thinking the Wicked Witch sounds good

Anyone have any ideas for this uncreative soul.

Today i had a meeting with the new HR manager.  He has been on the job for two full days now.  I figured he would want to know information from me.  Want me to give him reports of some sort. 

He then proceeded to tell me he is getting an understanding of some key individuals in the organization.  And he can't chat with everyone right away but wants to get a feel of the company.  I proceed to tell him my duties.  He asks questions as to how my time in a week does payroll take.  We continue chatting and i start describing issues that are arising and i think the HR person can make better.  Example being Exit interviews (when an employee leaves/quits/fired, an exit interview is conducted to understand why and how they feel things should change; etc)  He proceeds to show me his job description and aks me if i want feel like i would want to move my position in the company to more of an HR focus.  Payroll would still be involved.   Well i say Yes i believe that would help my CMA and i could then focus less on the financial numbers.  I also think the Payroll person would be the best person to fit this role as i have talked with almost every person in the company.  Then i ask "well if i only do payroll and not all the other stuff, it falls onto the other accountants and they don't have time"  Well he tells me the senior accountant has already discussed recruiting another person. 

Sounds like the senior accountant meeting with the HR mgr must have been about me to a point.  Otherwise, how would the HR mgr want to hire me?  He doesn't know my work, he doesn't even know if i could do it?

Man, i would love to lose the phone duties i do now.  Also love to lose some the mundane accounting.(GST returns does not take much knowl edge, just gathering info)  This sounds so good.  I really want to incorporate my CMA into the company but never have the time to do it.  Who knows maybe some day the payroll will go to another person and not me.  Then i could focus more on the CMA view -  strategic thinking helping the company grow.  This starts with keeping strong employees.

Long winded i know.  If you have made it here i commend you.

Rainbowannie

PS.  I have some new pics in my flickr.  Any friends or family can be directed to my blog or flickr account.

You know you need to start cooking when...

Your stove top starts a spiderweb

I was cleaning the stovetop and didn't finish the job till the next day.  That's when i noticed the spiderweb.  Lately; i've gotten so lazy that suppers consist of simple dishes like:  Tuna sandwich;  Eggs & toast.

Ever had to give a friend an fake excuse?

I did on Thursday. 

As most you know, Monica is my friend/exfriend.  Since her big blowup on my birthday i have been trying to disconnect myself with her.  She only calls me, granted i do talk to her.

Thursday, she calls 30 minutes before i need to be at my soccer practice. i'm not contributing to the conversation and saying a lot of "uh huh"'s but she doens't seem to realize i'm not really listening.  Finally looking at the time i tell her

Rainbowannie "I need to be somewhere at 830"

Monica "Where"

RA "Somewhere"

M "Do you have a date"

RA "Yah"

M "How u meet him"

RA "Cupid"

So when she calls know i have to have a fake date planned.  Well i'll tell her about a past date she doesn't know and i'll be vague.  Also time to start being busy when she calls.  I really don't want to continue this friendship.

I guess i need to tell you why the excuse.  I met Monica last year on our indoor soccer team.  This summer she decided to go up Divisions, (she is skilled)  Well the team really doesn't need her back especially since she thinks she's better than us and only wants to play with us so she can score goals. (She even told me that)  Also last winter indoor season she had 2 blowups.  Like really you are one of the older players but act like you are 3. 

Rainbowannie :D

Well i had a second date with an engineering student named Warren.  We both planned on the date for Tuesday.  We had hoped to do something outside but it was already 8:00 and getting chilly.  I mentioned i didn't have much cash and then he mentioned the same.  So i invited to my place to watch a movie "Ray".   Good movie...but the sound of the taped video sucked so missed some good parts.  Well the usual happened.  We sit next to each other, show that our hands are available.  Finally we start holding hands.  End up watching the movie and he is not so shy as Vinson.  He actually accepts when i offer a drink(juice).  so we chat after the movie is over.  He really seems into me, he asks about my family and such.  Well we ended up kissing and having a good kissing session. No more details eleborated here.

So now it's Wed and no word from him since last Tuesday.  I don't think he's into me.  I did give him an email this weekend, just short and sweet. 

Oh well, no biggie, don't want someone that's not into me.  Onto bigger and better.

Wrote this Monday September 19, 2005  (that's the day i first asked Tblog for my password?

Raven - this one is for you to stop getting off me case...hehe love u girl :lol:

Yes you read it right.  As most u know I wasn’t totally happy with Vinson.  But this weekend took the cake.  Strike three and he’s out.

It started with my soccer tourny.  We had 2 games on Sat; one at 9:00am the other at 1:00pm.  I had asked him on Friday to watch my game.  He basically said “Yes I will watch it cause it’s so important to you that I come”  Gave him a call on Sat at noon.  Sure enough, he was coming to my game and I gave directions and he asked how long the game is.  Usually our games last 1hour 30min but this tourny the games were shortned but I didn’t know exactly how much.  The game started on time.  I was kinda scanning the crowds for him every so often.  I was getting more frustrated as time drew on.  Finally he arrives; the game then ends shortly after.  I figure he watched 15 mins of my game.  He missed my sweeet goal.  It was awesome, I thought it was too high over the top of the net but it lobbed into the goal.  The goalkeeper didn’t have a chance.  Alright, back to my story. 

I walk up to him at the end of the game and hardly say two words to him.  He was all proud he found the soccer field.  Like it was hard….drive on this one street and you will not miss it.  He finally asks me what I’m doing for the rest of the afternoon, I say in a friendler voice (Nothing just going home unless you have something to do)  Vinson “No I’m going home to eat”  *What the…it’s 2:00pm and you didn’t eat lunch Whatever*

It took the rest of the afternoon for me to decide he’s not for me.  He is too selfcentered.  Didn’t want to meet my friends, can’t watch me play soccer, a momma’s boy and very indecisive.

We meet for a drink in the evening.  I tell him “I am disappointed in you today; you arrived at my game at 1:45.” His response “But, I was there; you wanted me there” Annie “Yeah I can understand 15 or 20 mins late but 45.” Vinson “I despise soccer, I rate soccer and golf together as the most boring sports to watch” Annie “You know how much soccer means to me and by you despising soccer then you despise me”  We kinda talked about things; he was feeling I was pulling away from him a couple of weeks ago.  And he knew I was angry at him Saturday.  But typical guy, can’t talk about it or ask why I was upset. 

Well I’m happy I started to write this blog in word….seeing as tblog is having issues again.  I know I’m not an avid writer but I am an avid reader and this is getting so very annoying, I am thinking about switching to some other blog host. 

Rainbowannie

I get two thanksgiving dinners this weekend.  Short & Sweet till next blog. 

I'll update you on

• my breakup with Vinson


• had a second date but i don't think it's going anywhere


• i had other things to put here...but i can't remember.


• Dean & Nancy's trip, they loved it and have a renewed sense to travel Canada know.

Rainbowannie

Almost more than a week ago i requested a new password from tblog.  I requested this a number of times  Well this morning i awoke to my email box having 4 new passwords.  I'm starting to think about leaving tblog.  Too many issues.

Rainbowannie

Now that i got your attention.  I got a diamond ring today.  How you may ask?  Well it all started when .....okay okay i will get to the point.  I attended a Mary Kay marketing night.  It's where you learn more about becoming a consultant.  There was two guest prizes.  One was a satin hands set and the other a diamond ring. 

Does anyone know what this may have in store for me?  Well if you don't i'll tell you.  I have toyed with the idea (a couple months) of becoming a Mary Kay consultant.  I figure i will become a consulant when i have a house and have more storage for my product.  Well this ring tells me that i will become a consultant one day.  How do i know this?  Many years ago, i attended a luncheon in PA for CMA's, this was after Siast and before any classes, exams etc.  At that luncheon, i won a traveling mug and coster it really made me see that yes i will become a CMA, made the dream become more alive.  And you all know i'm a CMA now. :D  It may have taken some years but i did it. 

Another crazy thing.  My friend from PA had a doctors appt and was going to be in town today and tonight.  This has been planned for about a month.  Well, i found out Friday she had to cancel as she did something foolish and has to reschedule.  Therefore, my night was free to attend the Mary Kay marketing party like i wanted to do since last Thursday when Lorna (coworker and MaryKay consultant) send around the email.

Wow sounds like i need to start getting my finances in order.  Expecially if i'm going to be a consultant.  Need some money for product you know.

Rainbowannie

Tonight, i went to Monica's to watch some tv and a movie.  We ended up watching the end of the Terry Fox made for tv movie.  Amazing what he did.  He raised 1.9 mil for Cancer research which worked out for one dollar for every canadian. 

Terry Fox annual run is September 18. 

See following link for more info on the Terry Fox run

http://www.terryfoxrun.org/english/home/default.asp?s=1" title="http://www.terryfoxrun.org/english/home/default.asp?s=1" target="_blank"http://www.terryfoxrun.org/en...

As Monica and i were chatting.  She mentioned something about her and her daughter and me could possibly get cancer in our lifetime.  I said well my brother has cancer.  She was totally shocked.  My God, i cant believe i have never told her before.  I think i'm a little more reserved that i thought.  Most ppl, friends, coworkers know about my brother but i can't believe that i never brought it up to Monica.  I'm thinking i must have, this past year i helped with the daffidol campaign and got a huge bouque of daffidols for my volunteer effort.  I'm sure i mentioned or she even seen the daffidols.  Well maybe she seen them and i didn't say anything about my brother.

So my question is "am i a little too reserved" or do i only tell certain ppl certain things.

I know this answer will probably not be answered by tbloggers but a question i need to answer myself.  I'll keep you posted on if the answer hits me.

Rainbowannie

Alright well it seems like i'm posting things over a month old. 

I have just started (note started i have 83% capacity left this month) uploading pics of our trip to Marie Lake.  For those that don't know, Marie Lake is where the "K" cousins had their 2nd annual camping weekend.  We rent a small cabin, only $40 a day.  Granted no electric or running water but that's what camping is all about.  Got to use Nancy & Dean's new camping gear....Thank you for that.  I love going camping with others...as i now have no camping gear.  Gave it all back to my ex - it was his anyways. :roll:

Back to cleaning, well i should be cleaning.  But it is late and i want a homemade milkshake and need to relax this tight neck/shoulder muscles.  I must have sleep wrong last night. 

Rainbowannie

Some of you (Raven) are wondering about my love interest.   Well hear goes my story.

We met on cupid, then chatted once on msn.  He had the balls to ask me for a date right away....actually the first time we talked.  We decided on a Sunday of that week as i was busy everyother day.  He picks me up at 4:00.  He suggests a walk by the river....ok...but let me go back inside for my runners....(Great now it doesn't match the outfit)  We walked, chatted and i found it very comfortable.  We finally realized we were walking for about an hour, we should head back.  The rest of the week we proceed to see each other about 3 times.  About the 3rd 4th date, we discuss that we are not seeing any one else.  Ok so we are exclusive. 

Yah i know you want details about him.  Here is the list:

• dark hair


• chinese


• built...i mean very lean and big muscles


• cute


• taller than me...bonus


• has a dog...likes pets


• he's a couple months younger than me


• athletic...well likes the gym

We attended his high school reunion within the first couple of weeks dating.  No big deal to me.  It was fun, but i do then realize how true he was to his word.  He is shy is big groups.  Funny thing was he seemed even shy in small groups and didn't try to chat too much with others....don't know if he was waiting for them to come talk to him. 

okay so we started dating July 10 ...first date...so i have no idea is that our anniversary.

Now

I am finding him very quiet.  If i'm not asking him something we have a silence.  He seems very unromantic but i am working on that.  He does take me out.  Every tuesday, we try out a new restaurant we haven't been.  I am feeling unsure about our relationship...why i'm not sure.  Maybe cause he doesn't spark my interest.  He is not interested in watching me play soccer at all, he is very metticulous....like laundry on the same day of the week.  I finally figured out that very tuesday, when we are at the restaurant, he is picking the same dish i am.  I asked about it last time and he mentioned that way it's easier....Easier on who...well him....but man make up your mind...if you wanted Pasta this week...then get Pasta.  Next Tuesday i am not letting him know what i am ordering and he is ordering first.

When do you know when to end a relationship....i guess the same way you know when to start it.  You just know.  Well i'm still at a crossroads...don't really want to give him up yet, hoping the not seeing each other for a while this week is going to help.  Last seen him on Monday and won't see him until i call to do something this weekend.  Like decide on something to do...why do i have to decide all the time.

Rainbowannie

Well the ball tourny went good.  Put out some fires....not actual fires but issues you know.  One of the issues is not so good.

Our team (well maybe only 5-6 ppl) got a grand idea :roll: to drink in the parking lot on sunday morning.  They couldn't wait the whole hour until the beer gardens opened at 12:00.  (Yes here in Sask you can't drink on a sunday till 12:00noon)  So our team got kicked out of the tourny.  Now the executive board minus  me and another executive (same team as me) have to decide what happens to the team in the league.  Will they kick out the team for a year?  will they suspend us?  Will they fine us?  Will they kick out the team mates that were caught drinking?  Oh so many questions and not enough answers.  Almost too much polititics, last year another team was kicked out for almost the same issue.  So do you do the same, probably not as it's different issues

:x

I really don't want to find another team to play with.  I'm not a strong player at all.  Why would another team want me?

Rainbowannie

I set up a Flickr account.  I only have wedding pics in it so far.  Check it out.

Flickr

I will be adding a badge in the next day or two.  Thanks to SuzOats for the idea on her blog. 

I know i have a lot to get everyone caught up on...but not tonight.  I promise i will add blogs tommorrow.

And i am starting to hate the colors of my blog, time to mix it up again. 

Good nite

Rainbowannie

My brother's wedding went great.  Until you actually go through a wedding do you realize how tiring it can be.  And i was only the sister, i only had MC'ing duties.  The tiring thing is remembering and getting ready for the big day.  I have a lot of pictures but it will take forever for me to load them.  I think i will open a flickr account. 

Jen i have lots of pics of Paige dancing don't worry.  The only thing i don't have is pics of myself.  In the excitement of the day, and me being the amateur photography i think i only have one pic of me i know of.  And i shouldn't of trusting my parents to take a pic of my MCing, guess i should of asked them to do that for, (they really weren't at a good angle for that anyways).

I am super busy this week so don't be expecting the pics up until next week.

This past weekend, was the second annual CCW (Cousin's camping weekend) on my dad's side.  We went up to Marie Lake(northern AB) close to Cold Lake.  The weather sucked but the company was great and the 4x4ing was fun.  I am hoping to receive some pics from the cousins, as i will also be posting up my pics.  Next year should be fun.  Same place, In July though and anyone is welcome to attend....if you might be interested.  Sounds like next year, we want to rent quads or 4x4's and do the trails.  I would love to rent but my little car could not tow a trailer.

This weekend is our slopitch Year End tourny.  Tonight's meeting was interesting to say the least.  This weekend will be exhausting as we are guaranteed 5 games over the weekend.  And as i am part of the executive and the treasurer that meaning busy for me.  Counting cash, removing cash from the till, serving drinks from the beer gardens, helping issue prizes, selling 50/50's.  I did get into this to meet ppl and i am slowly meeting and becoming familiar with a lot of ppl.  So that is a good thing and i hope to get elected next year to continue to meet ppl and build some relationships.

OMG, i could have posted so many pics if i stopped writing this novel.

Another note, i am seeing a guy, V for a month now.  I really like him, he treats me awesome.  That will have to be another post.

Rainbowannie :d

I guess i hardly blog anymore.  I seem to be reading my fellow bloggers but not taking enough time for me to add to my own blog.

I'm in RD and awaiting my brother's wedding.  Nancy and him are getting married on the sixth.  I can't wait.  Well i can a little, i'm co-mc'ing and i'm a little nervous. 

Good to be home.  Funny how i call RD home as i never actually lived her myself.  Guess where the family resisides makes it home.

Tonight i played slopitch with my parents.  It's a good thing, Mom asked me to bring my ball stuff cause they needed another girl and i was the 10th  player to make the necessary fielders needed.  I had a good game.  I hit twice, walked once, and swung out once.  That's a huge improvement from my past games.  I can't believe it has taken me so long to actually hit that ball.  Both Dad and mom where giving my hints and showing me skills i need to improve on.  Wish i could play another game with them this year to improve even more.  Seems i ask my team to give me pointers but usually they are oblivious to what pointers to give me.  Or i guess they don't want to hurt my feelings.

What started as a quick blog has escalated.

I will have pics up later on this week.  Don't think anyone, well maybe Raven is interested in seeing pictures of my cat and dog.  Some shots are good.  I'm having fun, learning about my new digital camera.  Oh i guess another new to all the bloggers that read this.  Another topic another day.
