little bitty girl

Does anyone else get this?

Because I have a real bad case of this and it's compounded by Mr. "Hey! Let's Just Go With The Flow".

What is this? A fear of running out of toilet paper.

I'm usually the one in charge of getting personal items such as toothpaste, toilet paper, etc from Shoppers. Not for any other reason other than I love browsing in drug stores. Stefan, however, is in charge of letting me know when these things run out.

For some reason, he thinks it's a game to see how long we can last on that last roll of toilet paper while it causes me no ends of distress. Once, I was down to the last square and it was not fun. Now when I see there's only one roll left, I'm like a starving person wondering when my next meal will be. Stef just laughs and reminds me that there is a drugstore just down the street from us.

I can't decide whether I am just a needless worrier or whether he's too carefree in this situation. Or whether this is just a boy-girl thing because boys only use toilet paper when they need to poop.

Have I already mentioned how much I hate hockey? I don't think I say it enough to make my point clear. I really, really, really hate hockey. It's getting to the point where I think I must move somewhere where no hockey is played to ensure no probability of future progeny playing or watching the sport. I am pretty sure they have no ice in the Maldives.

I seriously thought that since the Toronto Maple Leafs were out of the playoffs, there would be some reprieve. But alas, there was a playoff hockey pool that took place at home last Tuesday, making sure that all guys involved would stay involved for the rest of the season.

What I can't understand is how are morning hockey highlights any different from highlights the night before that we need to watch both with such avid intensity. If you hear that Stefan's gone to live with my parents for the rest of the playoff season, it's because I've sent him there. They find his love for hockey very "quaint" and my mum gets an on site food taster.

The weekend started off with Stefan being in the dog house for reasons that we won't go over right now. He's out of the dog house now and is currently happily situated in a place called "Sucking Up". All I can say is that boys can just be so DUMB sometimes. I spent a good day contemplating how lesbians are so lucky because at least they're all playing on the same mental playing field.

Despite the slow start to our long weekend, we are ending it off with a bang. Please meet "Mitsuko" the newest member in our family. She joins big sister "Millie" my 20G ipod and "Max" Stefan's ipod mini. We're slowly building our family of Apple gadgets. I have no idea why they all have names starting with "M".

So far the transition has been pretty smooth. I've been slowly migrating my info from the old clunker to this one. The reason why it's been slow is because "clunker" is unbearably slow. But as soon as the transfer begins, it's been pretty lightning fast on Mitsuko's end. The learning curve hasn't been as painful as I expected, although this will most likely change as I add iWork and Creative Suite onto this.

Some people have asked whether the macbook was a part of Stefan "making up" but no, I didn't even think about asking. This is purely my private purchase. I know we're supposed to share stuff now that we're married, but I especially don't like to share (I know, it's bad, I am working on this) technology. It's the Asian in me, I like to have my own technological toys. Stef may borrow it to test his stuff once in awhile but other than that, Mitsuko is for my own play.

Stef did clean the toilet today though, which you all know that to me, is a great way to make up.

We got a text from some of our Aussie friends just before 12 pm this morning asking us to meet them at the pub. For one brief second, I thought it was for brunch but Stef mentioned it was to meet them for pints. The reason? St. Paddy's Day is today.

I am so staying away from that madness. If I didn't have a friend moving to Argentina and having a farewell party tonight, I would rather stay in and order take out.

Boys are mad, aren't they?

I was channel surfing when I happened onto a social experiment taking place on MTV Canada. The topic was about menstruation and one of the VJ's was trying to prove that men had no idea what to do with tampons. So she went around the production office asking various co-workers from the director of marketing to the intern to demonstrate how to use a tampon. Needless to say, the results were quite hilarious. I wondered though, whether the whole thing was a bit of a set up (one never knows with television) because the men were really quite ridiculous and I didn't think it was such a hard contraption to conquer.

I tend to like to ask and talk about "inappropriate" things. The thing that I just don't understand is why people can't be honest and frank around the people they know. Especially if they know the other person is comfortable with it. Even if they aren't, sometimes I think society is way too P.C. about everything and boundaries need a little pushing.

I like to ask Stef questions.

Sometimes he's really taken aback. I don't know whether this has anything to do with his Anglo-Saxon upbringing that makes him so reticent. Or whether I am just too frank. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with my upbringing since both my parents are notoriously shy. I think the truth of the matter lies somewhere in between.

Plus, he's my husband, if I can't ask him questions, who else can I ask?

"Am I ugly when I sleep?"

"Yeah, you were a little ugly this morning...."

I couldn't think for all the uproarious laughing after, over his own "witty" comment.

I don't know when Mr. Comedian thinks he's going to get laid next, but I am telling you right now that it's not anytime soon.

I've decided to create a whole new category because sometimes (a lot of times) when boys do or say something, I really feel like they are complete aliens. Either that or some parts of their brains just aren't wired the proper way. Here is a recent example -

Me: OHMYGAWD!!! I lost a diamond in my ring...
Stef: Don't be ridiculous. Are you sure?
Me: Of course I am sure. There is a HOLE in my ring.
Stef: Let me see. Looks. I don't see anything.
Me: Right there. A BIG HOLE.

After a while.

Stef: Oh yeah..... How could you tell? It's so shiny. Do we have to replace it? Maybe no one will notice.

Turns to look at me.

Big puppy eyes look at him with tears welling up.

BIG SIGH

Stef: Go get it replaced and tell him to put it on my credit card.

I really can't believe he didn't notice right away. Every girlfriend I showed the ring to noticed immediately and all the boys had the same duh! reaction as Stef.

So, now Blinger (if you don't remember, that's the name our friends gave my ring) is at the hospital after suffering some blunt force trauma. Not really sure when I am getting it back. It's funny how you don't realize how used you are to things until they are no longer there.

My finger feels naked and I keep thinking that I've inadvertently left it somewhere. Or when other women see me walking with Stef, they think that I am some big floozy ho messing with
a married man. Because that's what I think when I see other ringless women with ring wearing men.
