What A Weekend!

I was a wee bit hung over yesterday, and thus had not the energy to blog

Today, however my brain is functioning as normal, and thus I will relate this past weekends happenings.

Friday night.... oh Friday night. I drank a whole bottle of some 'lovely' smirmoff pre mixed cosmopolitan, and do not recommend it to anyone. Not only did I just drink that, but numerous shots, and double vodka and soda water's. And as such, I do not recall most of the evenings events. I do know I went to some horrible bars downtown, where I never go... The Druid... and On the Rocks....? Yah... I don't think Ill be going back there any time soon. Well, I wish I could tell you more... but I don't remember. My friend Doug however told me I was falling all over the place and because I was wearing lipstick, and did not want to get it on him, I tried to kiss him "porn star" like... what that is, I don't really know, that's just how he described it. Needless to say, I woke up a fucking mess Saturday morning.

Saturday, I went for lunch, then back to bed, then to whyte ave with my brother and his strange and horny friend, had a pint of cider, came home, went back to bed, and then got ready to go to a friends house party. Hungover, I put on some high heels, some thick black eyeliner and a little skirt, and no one could tell...
It was an interesting party, as there were people from high school who I hadn't seen, in, oh... 7 years....Also, for those who don't know, I was totally picked on in school and had few friends. Interestingly enough, these party goers, seemed to have no idea... and proclaimed how much they liked me... its strange the way the teenagers act.... and display friendships, or feelings of "like". Anyway, it was nice to show them how cute I am now ;)
I left for home around 11:30 and dear Doug came over and we chatted, and I got a massage, and all was well.
Sunday, i took a stroll down Whyte ave, did a little shopping and then went to a lovely little garden party. A horrible cow, aka Marissa, was there, with her pre-teen boyfriend, which made for awkward times until I got drunk and she left early for family time. Bitchy-ness aside, it was a very nice party and I got myself wasted on a bottle and half of white wine, and stumbled home around 10 o'clock.

Monday morning, I woke up feeling like death, with a lovely wine hangover. I got sick numerous times at work, and all that was coming up was flax. yum. flax.

Well, as the day went on my hangover faded....? A little. Then I had a nice little date and went to the movies. And ended the evening wit much needed cuddles, as cuddled surely are a great hang over cure

And now, it is Tuesday. A little cloudy and gloomy out, but whats new?
My week is full of (semi) exciting plans, and as such, will be told, as usual, to my lovely readers... I hope I have readers anyway....

Thursday Occurances

Thursday night proved to the most exciting day of the week for Miss Lemon, thus far. What with a trip to Ikea to finally get that damned shelf, Ive been dreaming of for ages, how could it not be a good evening?!

My lovely friend Miss Lindsay M, helped me carry my new book shelf into my apartment, which I know I could have not done by myself, no not at all!

In the meantime... we procured some Famoso pizza, films, and lovely energy drinks, one of which exploded in my pursue some how....? It was funny at the time... but now Im not so impressed....

Back at my humble adobe... we had our delicious pizza and watched "Kick Ass", which was not quite what I expected. It was funny at first, but took some odd turns, what with all the merciless killing, beating, and being burnt to death....
Then came the assembling of said shelf, which was not hard at all. And looks fantastic, almost completing my living room!

Then it was time for me to drive my lovely friend home. I decided it was a good idea, at midnight, to wash my hair...? and cut my bangs....? well, my hair is silky soft this morning, and my fringe are looking somewhat straight...

Either way, I am one tired little lemon. The rain and gloom are only adding to my tired and hopeless manor today.

Dear Friday, please do make 4 o'clock come quickly, as my dreary office, only makes life feel even more lonesome and gloomy

Miss Lemon needs some lemonade

Miss Lemon has had a rather dull week... my oh my. Whats a poor little lemon to do?
No dates... well, I had an Ikea date, with a strong man planned... but was kind of stood up. No vodka. No bar. No gigs. No fun!

hmmm... shall we look on the bright and sunny side?.... nope, nothing there either!!

well, there are a few updates to be shared...

Some of you may know that one of the back windows in my truck has been broken for some time ( maybe 9 months...). A certain dickhead ex of mine kept saying he was going to get it fixed, but that was about as true as " I never cheated on you!". Well, this Saturday Miss Lemon is finally getting that little window fixed. And there goes 250 bucks out the window.... tee hee

Also... Miss Lemon is going a boot camp. Indeed, you heard right! Time to get this booty in shape! I am quite looking forward to it, actually. Some good ol' quality time with a bunch of sweaty girls I don't know!

And the best of all...?.....
Miss Lemon is heading to Montreal! I have never been, and what with the long weekend coming up and a rockabilly festival, there seems no better time to go.

And so, this girl is a broke little lemon once again. I refuse to touch my tattoo money! And so, laundry will have to wait. And food will have to be rationed! But its all in the name of adventure! and dancing! and drinking! and maybe even shopping!

Ah, yes, on a final note. I have updated my esty shop: Lolita Lemon ( original, I know...)

so please do have a look for yourself. Don't judge too harshly on the photography. I tried, and its tedious. But i looks decent, I think.

Did you also know, you can find Lolita Lemon at such fabulous establishments as:
The Junque Cellar
Robes and Relics
and best of all, Rowena http://www.facebook.com/Rowenaedmonton

For Hire!

My Monday was rather uneventful, and somewhat dull. I did however scrub the shit out of my bathroom floor. You can even see a hint of sparkle through the permanent grim that coats old apartment bathroom floors...

I then proceeded to scrub the kitchen floor, which proved to be much harder, due to its size, and the massive appliances it boasts. I decided it was time to spice it up, and i changed where the kitchen table is, which I should add, is very rarely used these days. And now, its like a whole new kitchen! How pleasant indeed.

Also, Miss Lemon is in search of a second job... perhaps in a bar... although she has no experience... but knows how to dress sexy.... that should count for something, don't you think? So, all you lads and lassies... so if you see any "hiring" signs out there, oh please do let me know!
Things in life cost money... and unfortunately we have to work for that damned money... oh what a wicked web this world spins.

Well, its quiting time! One of the most wonderful times of the day!

Tupper what...? Tupperware!

Yet again, I find myself at a tired Monday morning. At least the sun is shining... even if I don't really get to enjoy it...

Okay... so here is what happened this past weekend.

Friday started off not looking too good. I had no prospects for going out... that is until dear Amber invited me out with her and her husband. And thus, the night began.
We met at Accent for some food and delicious drinks- I recommend the key lime martini.
Then we hoped in a cab, down to the Trap and Gill, where it was dead as fuck. So we had, i believe two drinks, and then left for whyte ave. Off to Devlin's we were for even more delicious drinks... and a shot of patron...? hmmm....

Then to Filthys, as per my request... where there was too many drinks and shots to recall. I don't suppose I remember too much after this point. There was some dancing- and the only time I will dance at Filthys is when I am absolutely trashed, and thus, I must have been. We'll, eventually Amber & Co. decided to go home, and I insisted on staying... yet another sign of how drunk I was...This only got me in trouble... which I will not be describing here...but if you don't really remember it, did it actually happen....?

Saturday morning my mother called me at 9 o'clock, I was honest to god still drunk. I dragged myself out of bed and get ready, as I had told her Id accompany her to the farmers market that morning. It was hot as hell out, and soon my drunken state just turned into a hung over state, but I was a trooper, and so on I went, with only a few complaints and moans of potential throwing up.... which, I proudly did not. The farmers market was worth the getting up early, as was the car show happening ( in St Albert). A few hours later, off home we went, but not before stopping for ice cream... wonderful, hang over curing ice cream. I then crawled into bed and had a little nap, where after I made myself get up and be semi productive. I then stayed up way, way too late... maybe until 5 am... doing what you may ask? Well, giggling and talking with a friend, is what!

Sunday was fairly uneventful. I did a little shopping, some yoga, and best of all, went to my first Tupperware party. And now I am in love with Tupperware. Go ahead and laugh, but you have no idea the wonders of Tupperware, and perhaps if you are so lucky I will invite you to my Tupperware party I intend on having shortly.

I am now tired of typing and must search for other ways to entertain my time.

mid week assessment

Half way through the week now... lets have a look back and see what Ive accomplished thus far...

hmmm.... I updated my etsy account
http://www.etsy.com/shop/lolitalemon?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=App_Seller&utm_content=shops&utm_campaign=fb_seller_shop2

I exchanged a dress from forever xxi, and got a skirt and blouse instead; i traded in some empty containers at MAC and got an eyeshadow.
I dyed my hair.

Ive thought about doing laundry... but haven't yet... i desperately need to though, I'm running out of clean knickers

I bought some groceries; returned a pursue I decided was much to heavy by itself, let alone with all my shit in it!

Ive had a bath! A delicious, luscious bath.

I don't think I've actually done that much this week...
Oh summer, you are fading fast and I'm not getting things done! I'm just day dreaming about all the lovely things I want to be doing or places I want to be going...but here I remain, in Edmonton... horrible, boring Edmonton.

Okay, Ive got one, maybe two months of summer left. Its time to get crackin! Time to bring these damn day dreams to life! Even if that means going on vacation alone! And much less shopping and much more saving for future endeavors! And geez louise, I need to book a tattoo appointment!

Long weekend shanagins

here's my weekend recap:

Friday: got home early and thus started to get ready for my night, which was to consists of a book club meeting... at Devlin's. I slipped on my favorite dress and a new pair of heels, which would turn out to be horribly uncomfortable,however look really good. Off to Devlin's I trotted, and found my two gal pals waiting for me on the oh so fabulous Patio. After one martini outside, it started to storm, so we brought the party inside, where we enjoyed several more 3oz martinis and discussed literature, boys, sex, and the like. A few hours later, we decided it was time to get some cheap drinks, so off we stumbled to Filthys, a few feet away.
The bar was rather on the empty side for a Friday and those patrons who were there where of the male... and rather icky, persuasion. None the less we has a few shots... don't ask me what of... and a few cocktails before we decided it was time to leave. So off we went to Squires, much, much more drunk than only an hour before. Same situation here, the bar was occupied mostly by males. I decided it was a good idea to order more shots, and more shots we had!! We then found the photo booth that was in the bar, and we piled in, and took various drunken shots, which turned out quite pleasantly. After Squires, we were two, instead of three, as dear Stephanie could no longer walk or function properly, so in a cab she went, and sped home...
Amber and I, then went to Lucky 13, as Amber was in the mood for dancing. Well, I must say, we were of the oldest, and best dressed there. The numerous 18 year olds wearing tiny, tiny clothes over took our class and grown up attire. I'm certain the dress I was wearing cost as much as one of them made in two weeks...thank goodness, no drinks were split on us. Eventually we decided it was time to go home... I think around 1....? We stumbled home, and went in our separate directions.

Saturday: I woke up, as one might expect... hungover... however not as hungover as I had anticipated! As I had a big date planned for that afternoon/evening, I lounged around for a bit, then had a fantastic shower in which I cleaned and scrubbed and made my skin oh so nice. I then took my time getting ready... approx 3 hours... and then the buzzer rang and up came my date, with roses in hand... very pretty roses in fact... they were orange!
Then off we went to the Art Gallery. This is the first time Ive been... ever, not even since they renovated it. The exhibits were satisfactory, but it was rather on the short side... it took maybe an hour and a half to do all three floors....My date, then took me to Padmanadi's, for some delectable vegan delights. After that, we went back to his place, where he surprised me yet again, with cupcakes. Oh how I love cupcakes!! We then watched a film, yadda yadda yadda... use your imagination....

Sunday: A rather boring day, I must say. I lazed around in my underthings... tidied up... make some hair clips and headbands... took pictures of jewelry to put on etsy... made some shitty dinner... had a shower... rented some films... watched said films... then much later went to my friend's house, to watch yet another film....cuddle... sleep

Monday: No work today! It was a holiday... heritage day? I think that's it... Anyway.... I met my friend Stephanie for some eats... we went to the Artisan Bakery... where everyone working seemed to be on the slow side, and it was a somewhat disappointing experience. We then strolled down Whyte ave, where I purchased a Parasol from Rowena, got drinks from Starbucks... stopped in a few more shops, tried to go to Flirt cupcakes, but they were closed, so had to go to Fuss, which is not as good. We then parted our ways, and went home. I decided I needed to get some groceries, and so, I did. I then made dinner with said groceries, watched a film and went to bed very early, where I proceeded to have very strange dreams all night.

This brings us to today... Tuesday....its a bit cloudy now, but promises to get better... and I have no plans for this evening, or this afternoon. I shall try to find some work to do at my office... or update my esty store...

Well, my dears.... Enjoy your short work week!
