It's a long one. How does everyone keep their posts and vlogs so short and sweet so as not to bore the pants off of everyone? Am I just a hopeless rambler or what?

So I didn't have a chance to post much last week, or this week for that matter. There's a few things from last week that I just wanted to get out there and talk over/think through.
For starters I had my friend A from college over for dinner Wednesday of last week. It was kind of a "I haven't seen you in a couple months, we need to catch up and I want to show you my new place kind of deal." I'm still trying to figure out what exactly went down that night, it was so strange.
The plan was that I'd give her a call when I got home since she had some errands to run blah blah blah and then she'd come over. Guess the errands took care of themselves and I got a call while I was on the bus on my way home
"I'm at your place, I'll just wait in my car for you to get home." Ok....
So when I got home I went to go open the door and even though she looked right at me and waved she didn't get out of her car. Maybe she was texting/talking with someone and I'm looking too much into this. So I went over to her car and she got and and just gave me this bizarre "Hey"
We went inside and without a word of a lie that first thing out of her mouth was
"I'm not too sure about your neighborhood, it's kind of sketch." Well, gee, thanks for your support!
I gave her the grand tour and the only thing she had to say about the whole house was
"They're kind of crooked." In regards to the stripes I so proudly pointed out that I painted myself in my office/craft space
At this point I'm just really hurt that the few words she's said to me are so criticizing and rude. We made dinner and put a movie on. The conversation really just focused on her boyfriend and her job. That's just fine don't ask me about my life, it's pretty non-eventful, I've got nothing to share. I know we've been out of touch for a year and just started to hang out again but you may or may not have noticed I've lost about 40 pounds and oh yeah kind of had a surgery to help with it!!! It wasn't until later on that I got cold and went to put on an old sweater that I got the
"OMG have you lost weight?? I was with you when you bought that it's huge on you!" Yeah, thanks for noticing b****
The whole time we "watched" the movie I tried talking with her but she was somewhere else, namely in a conversation via text, with someone else and clearly not interested in talking with me. So really why did she even come. Make up some lame excuse and cancel or bail out early it would've been better than spending the evening lonely with someone.
Some where along the way she then felt the need to share that she hated my dog. Uber b**** that's my baby you're talking about! It wasn't until right before she left she asked how I've lost so much weight. So I told her flat out. I had a surgery, so I've got a band around my stomach making my portions smaller, y'all know the deal. Her reaction? NOTHING! Well I guess not nothing:
"Oh ok, well I'll talk with you again soon." WTF??????
Right now I'm trying to figure out what to do. Cut her loose for good or try and talk it out. We were close for a while but I don't know if it was just a phase for me, trying to fit in with certain people/needing a friend. I just don't know. She's a couple years younger than me but I million away maturity wise. Maybe we were just friends out of circumstance while we were in school and that's all it was meant to be. I wish friendship came with a manual sometimes.
Drama part aside, last week was my first "partay" at my place. Call it Girls Gone Wild or just Girl's Night In. Whatever you want to call it it was a blast. It was a pot luck of sorts with munchies like olives, marinated feta, roasted garlic, veggies and loads of other yummy goodies. And.... alcohol. I made mojitoes and electric popsicles. While some may have gotten out of control I had max 4 drinks since I was feeling it after the first. Thank you tiny tummy for making me a light weight! We talked, we danced, we sang. And some of us got carried away.
Of those who did some made it to their own home before tossing their biscuits while others choose to loose it in my home. If only you could see the clearly unimpressed look on my face now, perhaps this warranted a vlog oh well! Now I should put it out there that my house is nearly 100 years old and while the plumbing works and is not capable of handling certain things.
So if you were to come over and PB into the toilet all would be well in a few flushes. The sink however, just don't tempt fate. If you haven't guessed by now said guest who I will henceforth call H did not make it to the toilet but only the sink. Instead of asking for help thought she would just rinse it down and no one would be the wiser. OMG!!! This resulted in an overflowing sink containing someone elses grossness. Once we realized that H wasn't around someone went to check on her and discovered the dilema. V knows that while I can handle my own mess and dissecting a rat don't ask me to clean up after someone else or there will be two messes to deal with so she took care of it.
The chaos and what is kind of humorous looking back now that unfolded might as well have come from a movie it was so disgusting. V up to her elbow's in H's mess trying to scoop it into the adjacent bathtub. H on the phone with her husband asking him to bring a plunger (haven't made it to that part of my shopping list yet), R and D1 having to pee so bad but afraid to use the washroom so they're peeing in my backyard. R getting caught in backyard peeing 2nd time by neighbor returning home from work at 4 am. Me waking up the next/same day at 3 in the afternoon and realizing that despite the amazing job V and H's husband did cleaning up the bathroom they didn't realize there's a 1.5 inch gap between the vanity and tub. During this whole debacle said mess spilled into this gap and waited for me until a got up only to start dry heaving and nearly starting the cleaning process all over again. Can you keep up with this??
So the expense of Girl's Night In? 1 bottles of rum, one bottle of gin, 4 bottles of wine, lots of laundry, a new shower curtain liner, tons of cleaning products and two rolls of paper towel. Oh and all the excitement not only wore me out but also the dog who slept through until 5 pm on Saturday, didn't even get up for food.
When's the next party? When H gets herself knocked up and therefore can't drink and is also past the whole ill feeling of pregnancy. Here's a question for you guys too. I felt really guilty about not helping to clean cause I was afraid of adding to the mess. What proper hostess/host etiquette here people? I gave V a Starbucks gift card but I still feel terrible. Anyways, tomorrow is Friday! Have a fantabulous day I know I will!

Wow! A ton of stuff went down in blog land while I was off in my own little land, it's hard catching back up on the stuff you've missed.
I noticed when I logged on today that I have miraculously in the past few weeks jumped from 9 followers (from when I really started blogging regularly this past month) to a whopping 27 followers! 27!!! Thanks to everyone who has decided to follow me it is really encouraging and well down right flattering to have people click that button.
I have created for myself a little reward type goal. I really really REALLY need to get my hair done. So I've decided that once I reach 170 pounds I'm going to book my appointment. I don't get my hair as often as I should, you know touching up the roots every two months or so and getting a trim, cause lets face it I can't really afford it. It is minimum $110 every time I get it cut/highlighted and I have a hard time coughing up that much money for my hair more than 3 times a year. I'm currently sitting at 175 pounds YIPEE! So in that time it takes me to loose the 5 pounds I have to figure out what to do with my hair. With the newer "symptom" of hair loss I'm experiencing I'm kind of lost on how to get it cut since my overall volume of hair has decreased so much. Maybe I'll just let my stylist figure that bit out.
Speaking of hair loss, I know that this is directly influenced by my protein intake. I've been working really hard on making sure I get my protein in but I've been reading about some alternative products/sources of protein out there and wondering if anyone has tried them. I'm really interested in the protein bullets that have 45 g of protein in a approximately 3 ounces of fluid as well as IsoPure with 40 g of protein in a 20 ounce serving. If you've tried these let me know what you think please!
I'll leave you with a picture from my Girl's Night In this past Friday. At another day I will have to do a post sharing all of the hilarity that was that night.

What's a PPB you ask? I'm sure everyone knows that a PB is a "productive burp," you throw up ok?? How about a PPB? It's a public vomititious epimasode.
**Side Note: I quite enjoy adding random syllamables to words, it just makes life more interesting so you might as well start getting used to it.**
Anyways, back to my story... Today I had my first and hopefully one of only a handful of up-chucking in public epimasodes. I didn't have time to pack a lunch this morning (kind of slept through my alarm and the back up alarm on my cell phone woops!) so I had to buy lunch. I thought I was playing it safe and picked up a bean burrito of sorts at Taco Time (the Canadian version of Taco Bell). After the fact I realized that I wasn't chewing as well as I should have been the the flour tortilla did not sit well at all. The public part is included in this since I was at work at the time. We were sitting around chatting, eating lunch, when all of a sudden. That doesn't feel so great... Oh! Sliming is starting.. Quick! Get to the bathroom. So I spent about 5 minutes standing over the porcelain shrine sliming/drooling praying it wouldn't go any further. No such luck. In one swift hiccurp lunch was gone, down the drain that is. I really don't think anyone noticed my abrupt departure from the lunch table, flushed face and watery eyes and if they did they didn't say anything. There was one comment something like "You haven't eaten much? Isn't it good?" from R. A quick "No" and a glance gave her all the info she needed and she came and gave me a big hug. I love some of the girls I work with and will be so sad when they leave!
On the plate for tomorrow and the weekend: Friday is Girl's Night In. My house wreaks of roasted garlic that I've made for it and my kitchen counter looks like I might have a slight problem with alcohol consumption. Hopefully we don't get too out of control. Other than that my weekend is going to be pretty chill. I've got to get to my parents to do laundry (I can afford the house but not a washer and dryer yet). I'd kind of like to see a movie as well, we will see.
On completely unrelated life info I've decided to become a Partylite consultant. I really like their products and I've been looking for a way to supplement my income now that I'm paying a mortgage etc. It seems like a flexible for me to be able to do this. Wish me luck! I probably won't have time to check in tomorrow before the party so I hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend!

So I haven't written in a few days since I've been rather busy. I'm having one of those "Why aren't the days longer?" type of situations right now. There never quite seems to be enough time. I'm going to try my best to update you on the last few days.
Sunday
Ok well here's the deal my co-worker was supposed to come pick up his dog that as you know I was a little less than impressed with. He actually got back into the city Saturday night be we agreed that I'd take her Saturday night still so that the family could settle back in for one night. So noon rolls around on Sunday and I still haven't heard from him, I send him a text and nothing. I phone him and nothing and I'm just sitting here thinking "What the hell! Come get your stinky dog!??!" 5:00 rolls around and a still haven't heard anything. Well I had plans to be at a friends place for 7 (which I will tell you more about) and had to leave shortly in order to get a bus there on time. So I ended up leaving at 6:15 to get the bus and I still haven't heard from him. During the middle of this dealio at my friends my cell rings and guess who it is? Really? Really! You waited this long to call? Yup. There was some story about his phone breaking or something but can I get the dog tomorrow? Fine whatev, we'll take care of it tomorrow.
So this deal I was going to a friends place for was a Partylite party. Don't know what partylite is? It's those home party type idea's and they sell candles and other house accessories. I ended up getting a few lovely items as well as some candles. The first thing I got is this pretty reed diffuser that looks like a bloom from a chrysanthemum.
The other item I purchased was a set of candle holders. It includes one tealight holder, one votive holder, two taper holders, and two different pillar holders.
Monday
Wasn't that just today? No it wasn't. It was rather boring in all honesty. I worked... and I came home... I think my parents were here for a bit and then I went to bed. Nothing stands out regarding life or the band so it must have been a good day.
Tuesday (Today)
I was busy at work and I needed to get certain things done and I knew I had to leave early. So what did that mean, it was "Ask stupid questions to annoy Leslee day." Sometimes I wonder how people make it so far in life, if you would just stop and think for a second I'm sure you could figure it out! So I had to leave work early because I had an appointment booked at the clinic for a fill. Now I don't need a fill but they like to see you anyways and check on your progress, it doesn't cost me anything either so I like going and checking in with the doc's and the nurse. I weighed in at 177 on their scale, which is always 2-3 pounds heavier than mine so this was no surprise to me since I'd figured theirs would most likely say 178 even though my home one has me at 176. Had a good chat with the nurse about how things were going and how things like stress can influence my band. Also had a good explanation from her about the band being tight in the morning which I will post at another time. After my appointment it was time for my dog to go see the doctor. Poor Summer somehow caught her nail on something over the weekend and cracked it in half so it was consistently clotting and then re-opening and bleeding and she was gimping around feeling sorry for herself. She might be more upset with the solution though. The broken, barely attached peice of nail was removed and she is not sporting a rather snazzy fluorescent pink bandage on that foot. I should add that the vet put the cutest purple flower on it too to "match her collar." Tee Hee! I love it!
So tomorrow is hump day. I'm having a girl friend from college over for dinner. Who I might add I haven't told about the band yet. I haven't had any hesitation about telling anyone as much as I have with her. I don't know why, maybe since we're not as close as we used to be. Hope everyone has a great remainder of the week and I will try to check in on Thursday since I'm sure there won't be time tomorrow.

So I realized that I don't really have an pictures up here of myself for everyone to compare and see how I'm progressing. I don't know why it took me so long to figure that out, but it did. Maybe I just didn't really want to look at them, ever. Part of this process so far for me has been coming to terms with the fact that yes I once was that big but I'm not anymore and I'm not going to let myself go there ever again. Looking at my pictures now if anything is serving as a reminder to me when I so desperately want that chocolate, ice cream or what have you that maybe the reason I want those things isn't so much out of hunger as it is a need to fill another void. So without further ado I present to you:
Leslee Before Band
March 2007 approx. 218 pounds
July 2007 approx. 218 pounds
April 2008 approx. 205-210 pounds
January 2008 Cuba approx. 218 pounds
I realized putting these up that I don't have many pictures of myself and those that do exist someone else is usually in them. That would have been part of my fatobia (fat phobia) that when a camera appears I usually hide. Enjoy your weekend chiquitas I know I am!

So my boss was scheduled to arrive back in Canada (from Prague) over the weekend and therefore would be in the lab on Monday. What does this mean? Panick! OMG It's been two weeks already?? Quick review your lab book so you can tell him all of the work you've done while he was away. Uh oh. There's nothing written in my lab book since the 1st of the month. Why? Because suppliers are stupid and I was waiting for something before I could do any work. So I'm trying to rationalize it in my head:
"Well, I couldn't do that because the stuff was back-ordered. I made tons of solutions, did some inventory/organizing, isolated cells from pig hearts for R and S, took care of D1's cells and and and..."
But there's no real results to show for that. Luckily this only lasted until about 11am when the admin assistant came and told me that he couldn't leave Prague until Tuesday now because of the volcano ash halting flights across Europe. Volcano? Yeah I totally need to get a TV set up so that I can watch the news, either that or I take some of my daily blogging time to read the paper... not likely but it's an idea. So I'm a little relieved that his return is delayed. My back-ordered product came in and on Monday I will be able to do the assay and send the samples for sequencing. Unfortunately I have to go into work for a bit tomorrow to do some more cell stuff. Crapola for a saturday :(
Yeah, I don't know what my band and I are fighting over. Even though I tossed my salmon for dinner last night I was able to eat sushi for lunch?? Maybe it's cause I had miso soup first? Did the heat relax things and allow the sushi to go down no problem or something? Either way, I had miso soup, 1/3 phildelphia roll and the insides only of an AAC roll. I had picked up some Mangosteen the other day for us to try at work so we had that in the afternoon for a snack. It was surprisingly delish given its appearance.
How much do I love Gen for says that I'm "skinny" and "shrinking". More than words can describe! It's supposed to be warm here this weekend but I'll be working a bit and then trying to get my house in order as much as possible for next Friday. At least so it doesn't look like a natural disaster went through it, at least! Hopefully I'll get to enjoy the weather a bit too. I hope everyone has a fab weekend!
