I’ve wanted to do something new with this site for a while and take my blog in a different direction. I’ve been pretty unmotivated to write for a while and I kinda feel like I want to archive the past and start fresh and new. I’ve lost a lot of pieces of this blog, some on purpose, some by mistake, and I feel like it’s one thing in my life that I love but that isn’t moving forward. I thought about deleting it and starting with a clean slate but I can’t stand the thought of getting rid of so much effort. So I started a redesign instead and am really excited about how it’s shaping up. It’s taking a while cause I’m doing it all myself and learning as I go but I hope to share it with you before summer officially starts.
My horoscope today from the AstroTwins is such great advice that I had to post it for everyone to read. Whether you believe in Astrology or not, I think this is an important point to keep in mind for your every day life.
Words have power, so forget what you heard about sticks and stones. Mercury retrogrades back through your communication sector until April 4, giving your verbal expressions an extra punch. One snarky comment could burn an important bridge. Be careful not to put negative commentary in writing. Your emails could travel to an unwanted audience, putting you in the hotseat. When in doubt, rewind and be kind.
Last night was my annual Dad/daughter hockey game. Unfortunately Dad got sick and couldn’t go so he gave Jason his ticket. It was his last night in Toronto so it ended up being a pretty great last night date.
The Leafs lost the game in the first 12 seconds when The Panthers scored the 1st goal and I was ready to leave at the 2:45 mark when they scored again but us Leafs fans are gluttons for punishment. It ended up being a fun game but I’ve never seen so many NHL players trip over their own feet or been unable to receive a pass before. Final score was 5-3 Panthers.
We got home just after 10 and were up again at 4am to drive Jason to the airport. I tried to suck it up and not cry but damn I miss him already. Only a couple of tears and I’m gonna go down for a visit mid-March so it’s not too far away.
Today has been kind of blah for me. I strained my neck and back last night backing out of a driveway and due to my current injuries from my car accident it hurt like hell! I didn’t go in to the office this morning because I couldn’t move and then had a nice relaxing physio session. My Dr told me that I added to my injuries and that I better get my butt into bed and rest so back home I went. I put on my pj’s and some music and got into bed to work. Harley is the best when I’m home sick. He just cuddles right up and purrs away.
I have a crappy feeling that I’m letting people down and that some people are disappointed in me today. It’s one of my insecurities and I hate it when it creeps its way in. Sometimes you just can’t help it though. Not everyone is going to like you or what you do every day and you’ve just got to turn that negativity around into something positive. I think that it just makes me work harder to prove to myself that I’m doing the best I can.
Got invited to go to a Raptor’s game tonight and sit in the 2nd row behind the net. What a day to be stuck in bed! I love basketball and have only gone to 1 NBA game in my life. I wish I could’ve gone tonight but c’est la vie.
I’ve got a secret cheer up weapon in my arsenal today though. Tonight is the night that I finally get to watch Breaking Dawn Part One. I’m really excited to see what the film looks like and yes I’m a nerd but I don’t care.
Tonight is also the second Boy vs Girl night at Supermarket pitting Robyn Dell’Unto against Morgan Cameron Ross – tonight it’s Robyn’s turn to shine while Morgan heckles her from the crowd. If you haven’t seen these two perform yet you should get your butt down there to see them. I’ve been a fan of Robyn since her CD release party last year and she has a gorgeous voice with great songs.
This morning started off a little stressful but ended up turning into a nice evening. After we sorted everything out and finished running around I came home and decided to clean and start cooking. I absolutely LOVE cooking and making things from scratch. I don’t do it enough and I’m going to make a big effort to cook more this year. I made an amazing butternut squash soup and banana oat muffins. I’ll post them tomorrow and if you like butternut squash you’ve got to try out my new recipe.
I finally found a nice place to move into after months of looking and applying and being disappointed. It’s so hard to find a good apartment lately and we’ve seen some disgusting and beautiful places. I’m sticking to my East End hood, which I love, and getting a nice main floor place with a working fireplace, backyard and huge kitchen! I have been dreaming of wine and relaxing by the fireplace since I signed the lease. Perfect for Canadian winters.
I’m really excited for 2012. The past two years have been very challenging and thankfully things have started to feel a little more balanced. I can’t wait to move into our new place and decorate. I’ve decided to get rid of as much as I can and start fresh. New year, new girl, new life
Well my soup’s ready and then I get to watch Breaking Dawn for the first time tonight! Hope you all had a great weekend.
Today is Thanksgiving in the US and I’m making a nice dinner for my American man. Mom, Dad, Kristin and Kyle are all coming over to my tiny apartment for Turkey and all the trimmings. I’ll post recipes and photos of my spread and I think it’s important (and maybe a little scary) to note that I have not cooked a Thanksgiving turkey in at least 10 years!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and family and I’ll be having dinner on the beach next year.
I lost a bunch of posts from the very beginning of my blog, I think they were even imported from my first blogger site. When I made the switch from kaponetwo some of the posts just disappeared and I couldn’t figure out what to do. It’s probably been too long to figure out but maybe one day I will. My blog feels really bare lately and its frustrating. I’ve got lots to do and say but not enough time to write it all down. I guess that’s a good thing though. I’m too busy to sit down and write. There’s always so much going on. I made the best butternut squash soup ever last night for dinner. Jason loved it and he said some pretty ridiculous things that I’m not going to post. haha.
Jason found me a heart shaped rock
We’re going back to Florida soon and I cannot wait to go on a road trip. I’m only going for a week this time and Jason for the winter so that kinda sucks that I have to fly home without him. I need to move and get a bigger place soon. I’m looking in the Beach/Leslieville area so if you hear of anything let me know!
Life has been busy and really great lately. Hope it’s been the same for you.
For the past two years I’ve been a speaker on the panel at COLS – Central Ontario Leadership Seminars talking about Social Media and being responsible on the internet.
COLS is Non Profit organization that holds a three day long seminar over the May long weekend to develop leadership potential in Grade 10 students. Their goals are to:
Encourage and prepare the next generation of Canada’s civic, social and corporate leaders.
Provide young leaders with forums to learn “how” to think, not “what” to think, by offering independent and interactive opportunities for critical thinking.
Encourage personal growth by promoting positive thinking, goal setting and community involvement.
Please watch the video below and have a look at their website to learn more and if you can, donate to help keep this great program running.
A year ago tonight I walked into The Cottage in FMB with my cousin Tanya. I was feeling very down in the dumps as most of you know until a man in a Captain America costume put his arm around me and told me I was the prettiest girl in the bar. Who knew I’d fall for a man in spandex
This is about 1am last Halloween – excuse my drunky face
I can’t believe it’s been a year since we met (again) (that’s a story for another time). I love you more and more everyday and I’m lucky to have you in my life. I can’t wait to see what the next year will bring.
