What do I watch!?

Thanks to the inventor of the PVR and Time-shifting!  I don’t know how I would ever survive without them.  If this was the same person that is two miracles should they not be Sainted?  I was going to try digital cable for three months because it was free, that was back in about 1999!  Here we are 10 years later and I have every channel there is a PVR and Time-shifting.  Can you say addiction!?

RELATIONSHIPS!?

Sorry for not posting yesterday but that might happen a few times on Saturdays, it is the only day of the week that James and I actually devote to each other and try to not allow ANYTHING to get slipped in that is not about us.

 

Well you might be wondering what we actually did yesterday being Saturday…  As I suspected he opted for the 17 episodes of NCIS that were clogging up the PVR.  I am so happy that it is cleared out now.  I am also happy that we watched new episodes, caught up on old ones, and just sat on the couch together all day!  In between Brody lying on us, and getting up for walkies, food and bathroom breaks and naps we did all 17 hours from 9PM Friday till 11PM Saturday!  Can you say Marathon?

 

The fact that we spent all of the time together, just being together is the best segway into the topic for today!

 

My relationships!

 

As trying as they might be, we all have them.  Family, friends, love, enemies.  They are all dynamic whether positive or negative.

 

I have many, my relationship…..

 

With myself (which is the most important one I will ever have according to Diane Von Furstenberg’s advice to Whitney!  Oh The City, I miss it already!)

 

With James the sweetest, most loving person I know.  It is not easy being on the Rollercoaster called Leslie-Ann’s anxiety but he sticks with it.  Give and take, listening, patience and truly, unabashedly, openly, honestly, loving and trusting are just a few of the things he has taught me.  Not to mention I know more about after market “soup-up parts” for cars than I ever had wished to!  But if I want him to know about what I like and am passionate about, then I have to give that respect back.  Wow, did any of you ever think you would hear Laggy say something like that!?

 

With Brody!  This dog from the beginning has taught me about trust, perseverance, true fun and joy and just what a ball of anxiety looks like.  I hasten to wish to know what happened to him before we got him, but am lulled by the knowledge he is much better with us.  But “Barky bark bark bark…” be quiet sometimes!  Ok!

 

With Alistair.  This is a funny one.  He loves me but he hates me!  He needs me but it bothers him that he does.  He screams for food each day like in his mind I just might forget to put it down, when I have done it without fail twice a day for TWELVE years.  Oh, big white cat……  I can’t forget!

 

With Connie!  This one is the most influential in my life.  If it was not for this little seven pound outspoken, face biting, cushion peeing grey ball of fur.  I may still be lying on the couch in a cloud of depression that started back in 2005.  She would not let me.  She honestly was sent to me for a reason.  That was to help me live!  As an atheist I do not believe in the divine or a higher power, but someone…  I don’t know who, knew I needed Connie and did me the biggest favour anyone ever has by putting her in my path…

 

With Jennifer.  There is not one other person that I can say that has seen me through, stood beside me, pushed me down, picked me up, smacked me, laughed with and at me or pepper sprayed me.  She is my best friend and I cannot tell you how much I need her and love her!

 

With Various at work.  Fun, trying, nurturing, teaching….  Too many to talk about.  Except my Ariela.  She is a very special person.  You don’t find them like her too often!

 

With Family!  My in-laws and mine!  What can I say?  No matter what I say someone will be offended!  I love them all for, because of and in-spite of themselves.  I have to, I didn’t choose them, and I was popped into the middle of them.  I can’t change them and I am not sure I would really want to.  They are all mine, and no one else’s!  If you don’t like them well that is too bad!  To the ones who are still here (in Canada or overseas) I love you, to the ones who have passed on…  I miss you!

 

With Nikki Sixx!  Haa!  XXX rated, lasted for about 23 years and all in my head!  See the humour in this; I really am not in need of psychiatric help!

 

With the person that answers the phone at Rogers!  Hmmm maybe I should skip this one and write a whole day on it!  I really could write for a whole year on it! 

 

There is an intro to some of the major relationships you will hear me talk about, there are more like my relationship with my TV, Ha!!!!  And the one with the washing machine!  And the woman who yelled at me in No Frills when I yelled at her kid for tripping me!  Oh but in the words of the narrartor of Tales of the Riverbank (aka Hammy Hamster) “that is another story!”
