Gotta love Herbert from Family Guy!

Hmmm…, let’s check our phone messages. See who called while I was working out earlier (to my new AWESOME Turbo Jam DVD — it is, indeed, as amazing and addictive as Marie-Christine said, and you NEED to check it)….

Dialing… *98. Here we go.

“You have 1 new message. Sent today at 2:23pm.”

Wonder who it is? Maybe it’s it’sgrandma? Hmmm…. Excitement. Most excitement had all day with two moody Monkeys…. Let’s listen:

Hi Haley. It’s K from across the street. And I know what YOU’RE doing. I just had my cataract operation, which is probably why I can see right into your window. And, you’re working out! Good thing you’re wearing clothes, heh. Don’t do too much, okay. Oh my, Glen is laughing at what I’m saying on the phone here. Happy Holiday. See you soon. Hopefully very soon.

AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! Gorgeouses…. It’s K again. Remember her? My old-lady neighbour from across the street who drove me BONKERS when I was 35 weeks preggers with the Rascal? Well, I’ve been a nice girl — doing groceries for her and cooking her a home-cooked meal when she was wheel-chair ridden for 6 weeks after a friendly dog knocked her down, and giving her a lift when I see her walking, etc., etc…. People should DEFINITELY help their elderly neighbours. But, THIS is what I get in return? More stalkage? I WANT NOTHING in return. NOTHING. Except my privacy. At least when I’m working out. ESPECIALLY when I’m working out. And, maybe the good karma (never hurts)?

It was bad enough that I had to stop my 45-minute workout midway to change a diaper and take a monkey to the washroom. But, then someone ELSE is watching me, pestering me? I need that like I need to watch ANOTHER episode of The Backyardigans. Double AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

I probably sound awful. Like a horrible, agist person. But, how am I going to workout in my living room again. HOWWW?

And, that workout was so much fun….

Josh-O, of course, thinks it’s no big deal that K was watching and CALLING to tell me. But, I still have preggers weight to lose. A considerable amount, I think, and I want to do it with dignity, and without SPIES. Grrrrr….

I love elderly ladies. Really. But, this one is SUPER annoying. I can’t even TELL YOU! Her husband Glen is even worse: “You’re going to get a stroke from not getting enough sleep, you know. I’m telling you. You’re not too young. Better watch that.” Yeah, great conversation piece there….

So, that’s my rant. I’m really happy 2008’s coming to a close. It was a tough year, as most numerologists and astrologists would attest. Lots of cleansing and ridding — which means lots of frustration and angst, and depression if your birthday’s between March 10 and March 17 or between September 10 (me!) and September 17, apparently — something to do with Saturn and the Sun…. According to my charts (and those of you with one of the aforementioned birthdays), I’ve been depressed for 2 years, and things should look up 2 months from now. HOLLAHHH!

I MAY have a chai tea latte tomorrow and start my NO CHAI resolution on January 1st. As Renee recommended, I’m going to put a little ticker tape thing in the sidebar to help me. Look out for that!

Oh, and many of you asked: WHY QUIT THE CHAI — thine ONLY adulty saving grace in a day full of MONKEY!? Because it’s full of sugar and caffeine. It messes with my moods. I also don’t drink milk; so, I go for the soy. And, there’s a ton of soy milk in those drinks. And, Starbucks’ soy milk contains even more sugar (organic cane sugar, but still), and a controversial substance called carrageenan.

Basically, as a vegan, I need to make healthier choices. A Starbucks Soy No Water Tazo Chai is breakfast for me (it’s extremely filling). And, that’s just bullocks. One of my goals for 2009 is to not depend on food to lift my mood. Because, when I use food that way, I inevitably CRASH because of it. I don’t know what’s happened to me…. Maybe my bod’s reacting to the Earth’s changing vibrations (NEW AGEY, I know). But, I’m so emotionally sensitive to food these days. When I eat better, I feel better….

And, now, your gratuitous kitty pic…. He sleeps!

HAPPY, HEALTHY, GORJ NEW YEAR, GORGEOUSES!

Love!
