From the mind of sada

Spots

I've got two large spots on my face.

They are driving me nuts.

It would seem they magically appeared when I returned to work.

(YES..I'm back at work)

But back to the more important subject at hand - my spots.

One on either side of my nose. It's really quite unfortunate.  I can't diguise them. I see them ALL the time...Big. Red. And sooooore. Imperfections. Bumps. My friends, this is an emergency...my skin is in distress.

I feel like I've tried everything....cleaning, reasoning, discussions about why they've occurred..."is it the stress of work?" "am I using too much moisturizer" "should I be changing tonor's, cleansers, or makeup?"

It's in my nature to try to fix them ASAP....

But what sucks the most...is I know I've just got to leave them alone...and when they're good and ready they'll clear up.

(I don't have that kinda patience)

But i'm trying.

(Hey if your experiencing the same stress as me with spots - go here and have fun!!!)

Update

163 Steps to my car - from my appartment - taking the stairs

TODAY....the elevator.....

***** 182 steps if I take the elevator!!!! ******

All the Same

I don't mind where you come from,
As long as you come to me
And I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care no I wouldn't dare to fix the twist in you
You showed me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind..
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again,
You'll just come back running
Holding you're scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems to long
All of a sudden....

And I have the skill
Yeah, I have the will
To breath you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

*** I just can't tell you how much I love this song...hear it here

Hi Ho Hi Ho

So I am officially back to work....and officially exhausted again after working all of three days. 

It really is just...too darn much.

I also think I may be coming down with a little something. Everyone at the office appears to be dropping like flies - some sort of cold, cough, fever thing....YUCK....

On a much lighter note...i am participating in a new study (run by me...developed by me) to determine which is the quickest most direct route to my appartment door from the parking lot (the stairs OR the elevator) - I have a feeling that the stairs are quicker...and even though you have to use more energy to do the stairs (never mind the health benefits!) I think - YES - I think  - it is the fastest! (more to come on this)

ALSO....the boy bought me a Christmas tree!!! (hurrah!!! he is FABULOUS) and I got to decorate it this weekend!!! I am officially ready for Christmas. However...there is one problem...I am completely distracted by this tree!!! It is like the christmas balls have some sort of crazy magical power to hypnotize....and control your mind. (Probably nothing I shoud worry about) However...I will keep you updated you never know what kind of evil plan those christmas balls may have.....

Ummm....I think that is it. 

Happy Monday Kids....

How to get (and keep) a man - Part I

The setup:
Approximately 3 months into relationship. I'm standing in front of the mirror getting ready to go out with the boy.  I've finished my makeup. I've decided on which outfit I'm wearing. I am now completing the final inspection when he walks in.

The boy: Hey sweety....ummm...what..are you doing?
Sada: (examining face closely...puffing cheeks with air and making various faces into the mirror) Looking at my face
The boy: I can see that....
Sada: (now stands back and looks at herself sideways in the mirror)
The boy: (watches Sada)
Sada: (now puffs out cheeks and pushes out belly and exclaims) I loooooooook pregnant!!!!! Muh ha ha ha ha ha!!!
The boy: wow.
Sada: (now dramatically rubbing belly) Preggggnant!!!
The boy: wow.

The lesson:
Natural beauty is vital. Keep your appearance up - it's the key to your man's heart ;)

An Intoduction to a new Sada Serial

I'm bored.

My blog is killing me slowly.

(insert dramatic collapse here)

Recently, I experienced a fairly exciting milestone in my personal life - reaching and surpassing the six month mark with the boy...

(insert crazy applause here)

After reflecting on those glorious months that created the fabulous relationship I experience each day...I realized that I am somewhat of an expert on a fairly "hot" topic.

I mean let's face it.  Relationships aren't easy.   They require a great deal of work...communication...and compromise.

And well obviously I've done more than a few things right to get me to this point... I think one may even place the word "expert" in front of my name. So in honour of this recent discovery, I've decided to bestow apon you (blogland) my wisdom...in a concise, and witty serial titled "How to get (and keep) a man". 

So prepare yourselves...because this blog is about to get exciting again.

(no pressure)

Home

This year I've had two moves.

I moved in the early spring from my parents place...it was my first move. I had never lived on my own out in the big crazy world and it was that magical time. It was kinda a weird move...because there was no real reason to leave (my parents are pretty great) it was just that time.  It was a hard move. A good move...but hard..change can be very difficult for me but I packed up my life (25 years in one house) and off I went.

I stayed for about ten months with Davey in a basement appartment...and about 8 months into it the house we were living in went up for sale.

It was time to move again.

After signing the last bit of paperwork with my new super (who wears studded belts and t-shirts...COOL) I was given two keys that belonged to this "new" place. Can I just tell you...opening the door to this new place was sooo wierd! I don't know when or how it happened...but I'm a grown up. (Seriously weird) I don't feel any different inside (still that crazy girl huggin trees and animals any chance I get). But I've got this grown up life.

It's kinda cool.

I'm almost officially unpacked! Just a few boxes here and there that need to find a home.

Thanks soooo much to everyone who has helped with the move and unpacking! (The Boy, The Parents, Marshal, Kevin C, Miranda, Mark J, and Jo Jo) I can't tell you how much I've appreciated every minute of your help and support. I was more than a bit of a mess last week....and each one of you helped me feel HUGELY better :)

SO THANKS!

And I'm sure I'll have you all over soon enough to see the new place!
