This is my last post here. I have started something new. I have made a fresh start. Looking back on the last 5 years, I am amazed at the changes I have made in my life. I am proud of the woman I have become. I am ready to move on from all of this. I am ready to put the past in the past and look only ahead. For everyone who has read this blog, thank you. For everyone who is now a part of my past and not my future. Thank you for the good times. I will remember every good moment.
This blog tells my whole life in the past five years. This is a record of the girl that I was and the woman that I have become. I am moving on now. I am not looking back.
Goodbye loyal followers,
LOVE ALWAYS!

The Next Chapter
Good Afternoon readers,
I only have one thing to say here:
Taylor and I broke up.
It was my choice and i do feel like it was the right choice for me. Nothing bad happened, there was no specific moment that would make me hate him, there was nothing other than a choice, a choice to move into the next stage in my life. I felt that my chapter with Taylor was completed, I felt that the dynamic of the relationship had changed. Unfortunately i had to break a sweet boys heart. I had to end a relationship with my best friend. I do think it is for the best, and although it was one of the hardest decisions i have ever had to make, and although i shed a million tears over it, i know the choice that i made was the right one for me. I think sometimes people are put into your life to better it for a short time, and when there "job" in your life is finished, its time to move onto the next chapter.
I hope for the future Taylor and i can find our way back into friendship. I hope that i have not hurt him too much.
And so... The next chapter in the life of SmartyPants has begun. I dont know what it will hold, but i am looking forward to it.
Love Always

Afternoons
Afternoons... Ugh...
I miss Taylor so much on Afternoons, i miss sleep so much on afternoons and I miss a normal life on afternoons!
Working from 5:45pm to 3:15am really is an okay shift, because I have nearly the full day (from when i wake up around 11am until i have to leave for work around 5pm,) but i miss Taylor so much on this shift. I literally never see him except when he is snoring away at 4 in the morning or when he has a rare day off, which is not at all this week. So it can be hard. Luckily i have a fantastic man who leaves me notes once in a while, telling me a bit about his day and telling me to come to bed. I guess im lucky in that way. Still its hard coming home and having him asleep, because all i want to do is wake him up and tell him about work and ask him in person how his day was.
I wish that each shift rotation only lasted one week. By the end of the second week of either shift i am hating it, and ready to start the opposite shift. But alas, i cant do anything about it so as of right now i am going to try and suck it up and be thankful for the job that i have, and be hopeful that Taylor gets hired where i work as well. (He is currently in the process of hire.)
Before i continue my rant, look at this adorable face i woke up to this morning :) awh... Olive!
I feel so super lazy today! I cant make myself get off my arse and do anything... which sucks because i really do want to work out and make a healthy lunch for myself for work and clean the house a bit as well... but im too lazy or sleepy or something. Maybe i am just bummed out that the long weekend is already over... Every single day of my life is flying by lately it seems.
On the plus side, i really am losing weight! I know i told you i was going to keep track on here of my efforts and i have really been failing at that... But i have been working at it, and it is paying off!!! About a year ago i bought Guess jeans from a thrift store that were brand new with tags... Only they were a bit to small... and by a bit i mean i couldnt do them up without strangling my midsection and having a seriously unattractive muffin top situation happening. So that was depressing... I remember around Christmas, putting them on and hoping i wouldnt be able to wear them out to the bar... And the same problem happened... Ick! But the other day i put them on and they fit! With room to spare... quite a bit of room i might add!!!! So i am thrilled, and super proud of myself... It was just the confidence boost i needed and it really felt fantastic! I just thought i would share because i am very happy about it!
Now i will tell you what we did this weekend, which was a lot of very relaxing NOTHING! On Friday night we went out for dinner at The Works, and then on Saturday during the day i went out with the girls from work and Taylor had to work until 6... & On Sunday evening we had a movie night, and we watched "Safety Not Guaranteed," "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," and "Wreck it Ralph." And they were all good movies in my opinion! And for the rest of the weekend we just relaxed for the most part, got some cleaning done and just chilled out! It was lovely!
Anyway i have nothing left to say!
Have a great week!
Love Always

I've Been Busy
Hello there,
How are you all doing on this fine Saturday evening? I'm well, thank you for asking. I am feeling quite relaxed from yoga, cozy because i'm wearing my favorite roots sweatpants, and tired because i am adjusting to my days to nights shift change, so that when i go back to work on Tuesday, i don't feel like a zombie!
Before i get right into this post, i wanted to tell you all that i am sorry my I's are always lower case. The computer doesnt fix them for me and i dont have the patience or the time to go back and change them all. So it is what it is!
I am still on my healthy living kick, and by still on it i mean i have messed up and got lazy for a few days at a time, but for the most part am finding time to exercise (most days) and i am eating very healthy still... But because it is summer, my alcohol consumption has gone up slightly... Shame on me! I am starting Hot Yoga with a girl i work with, and im very excited about that! I have also been doing my crunches and running every day this week. As well as surviving on rabbit food while at work... lol
I have not posted anything since like May, so i do have a lot to tell. I think i will start at the beginning of June until now.
June
Bought my roots sweatpants!!!! Love them, and although they are expensive and make me look lazy, they are very very comfy and worth every penny! I just thought you would want to know!
June 1st, Taylor and i went to see Iron Man 3 and i really really liked it!!! People at work said they didnt think it was good but personally i thought it was very entertaining, funny, action packed and just plain awesome! and i think Taylor liked it too! A very nice date night all in all!!! Actually i think i am going to look tonight to see if its on TPB to see if i can download it and watch it again!
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks,
I don't care if i never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
if they dont win its a shame.
For its one, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game!"
On June 9th, Taylor and i headed to Toronto to see a Blue Jays game! It was crazy because the game went 18 innings! Double what a normal game is! We met with my uncle and cousin later to have dinner because they were at the game as well, just in a different section. After dinner Taylor and i went for a walk on young street and then out for dessert. It was a really nice time, and a fantastic date night! The next day we headed back to Toronto with my mom and dad to go to my cousins birthday party. It was a lot of fun and great family time. There was a bouncy castle in the yard and all of my cousins were going crazy playing on it and having a blast! Then we got water balloons going and all in all it was a very fun and beautiful day!
June 13th, a guy i work with told me to listen to Imagine Dragons' song, Radioactive, and i fell in love with it... now its one of my favorite songs to work out to. It feels powerful.
June 16th was fathers day! So a VERY belated Happy Fathers Day to my daddy! We had a lovely day! We went out for brunch, and then back to my aunt and uncles for dessert and relaxation and family time. It was a great day!
Three years! On June 20th, Taylor and I celebrated our three year anniversary by going to Toronto. We had dinner on the waterfront near the corus entertainment building and it was delicious! Not to mention the view, which was beautiful! Also we saw a person dressed as a pirate walk by while we were eating... which was interesting! After dinner we went to a festival called "The Open Roof Festival," which actually didnt take place on a roof at all, but rather in a fenced in area in front of the corus building. While sitting at the festival we had an amazing view of the CN tower and the city while the sun was starting to set. We got to see the SheepDogs play some music live and unplugged and they were fantastic! And then we got to view their documentary on a great big screen, under the stars! It was a very romantic and lovely evening, and i was so happy to spend it with the love of my life! I am very lucky to have Taylor in my life. He is everything i have ever wanted and more. I would not trade a single day i have spent with him and for better and for worse i will love him. Three years is a long time, but i know that it will seem so small when we have been together 60. In the next year of our relationship i want to focus on making every day count. On not letting the media and technology control our lives, and i would like to stop and smell the roses. I love you Taylor, as i always have.
Beach party!!!! June 30th Taylor and i went with my family to the beach to celebrate my dads birthday! It was great weather, nice and hot. We swam up a storm, raced, ate some yummy food, and had a good old time! (I am very blessed to have such a close and loving family. I am thankful every single day.)
I guess that brings us to:
July
I feel like July just FLEW by! It was such an amazing and busy month!
July 2nd, we celebrated my dads actual birthday and it was a very nice evening... also... cake...
At the beginning of the month, Taylor and i focused on getting ready for our holidays and out camping trip! We were working quite a bit, which was good because our holidays ended up being pretty expensive!
I was suppose to get off work for my shut down at 1:15am Saturday July 13th, but we were lucky enough to get off at 6:30pm Thursday July 11th! So that was a lovely surprise!!! After we got let out of work, a girl i work with and i went to the mall to get pedicures! I got shellac so its actually still on my toes and hardly chipped at all! Which is awesome! Then i headed home and hung out with my love!
The next day Tay and i went to my hometown to hang out with family and friends at Canterbury Festival! We spent the whole weekend, and ended up reconnecting with a ton of friends we hadnt seen in such a long time! We all ended up hanging out in the beer tent on Saturday night and listening to the fantastic music on the main stage! Then we went to crabby joes and had a few drinks and chatted! It was great to see everyone again!
Now to my favorite part of this post! Drum roll please...........................
CAMPING AT GRUNDY LAKE WITH MY GINGERBEARD!
We had fun fun fun!
We swam almost 24/7, we slid into the water at slippery rock, we jumped into the water at jumping rock! We had a blast. We had a fire every night (even though we had to sit very close to it to see it because they have dug the pits very deep to avoid forest fires) and we roasted some marshmallows and made smores! We made hot dogs on the fire and had almost gourmet camping foods! (camping is pretty much just about eating and swimming in my opinion!) lol We made steak and roasted peppers, and zucchini! We had burritos, and tortellini, and bacon and eggs, and i cant really remember what else, but it doesnt matter because it was all delish! And the weather, oh my god it was perfect for the first 4 days/nights. We relaxed, read books and magazines, took naps in the tent and just chilled out with our "coffee," (aka alchy...) (like i said, wayy to much alcohol consumption in the summer... arg) The bugs were pretty bad and we are covered in bites but it was so worth it. It was a very happy trip! On the Thursday night, around 11pm, the wind started blowing, and there was lighting and then it started to storm like crazy! it poured rain all night long and our clothes line fell down, and our tarps fell down and we had to huddle-sleep in the middle of our tiny tent because we couldnt touch the sides or we would get drenched. which didnt really work because we ended up getting soaked anyway! lol On friday everything was wet and it was kinda rainy still and a little bit chilly and it wasnt swimming weather, so we drove to Sudbury, which turned out to be kind of a bust because its just a plain old city, and there wasnt very much to do there, so we pretty much just grabbed a timmies and then turned around and drove back. We stopped at the french river and looked around the museum and then went on the bridge and looked over the river and it was very beautiful. We were going to do the trail but i was in flip flops and black flies kept swarming my head which gave me the willies! Then we got back into the car and headed back to the camp grounds, but first we stopped on the side of the road to build an inuksuk! We climbed onto a big rock and made one, and i have to say it was a very fun experience! I love that Taylor likes to do things like that with me! It was his idea and it was a great one! We were supposed to stay in grundy for another night but the weather was kinda nasty and there were tornado warnings in the area, so we decided to pack up and head to barrie to visit Grandma and my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. First we went for dinner at Moose Winooskis with grandma, and it was very yummy, and it was great to see grandma! Then we went over to my aunts house for what we thought was going to be a short visit, but we ended up staying the entire weekend. My parents and brothers came to barrie on Sunday and we all swam in my aunts pool and had a bbq! Then we went out for icecream as a group at a very delicious ice cream shop! (i swear, my summer has been mainly focused on food... gah!)
We got home late sunday night and we were both back at work early monday morning, but it was so worth it because we had a great time with everything we did during out holidays!
The rest of July was birthday party central! My moms, and then Tims! It was a lot of fun, and very busy... like i said... IT FLEW!
Now its august and this is the long weekend! Today i went with all the girls on my line at work to Oakville to do some shopping at lululemon, and then to lunch. It was a great day, and i really needed the retail therapy (even though i am too broke to afford anything lol) and the girls day! Now i am relaxing with my Taylor and my boots and my olive, and am probably going to head to bed soon so i can wake up for YOGA in the morning!!!
Also there is another thing i have to tell you!!! Taylor, my wonderful man, helped me pay off the rest of my OSAP!!! Which is amazing! It is a huge weight off my shoulders, and my letter should be coming in the mail this week saying that i have paid in full! WHEW! He is the best... I dont know how i scored that guy... But im glad i did!
Well i love you all and thank you for listening to the story of my life!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Love Always SmartyPants xo

The Secret Daughter: What an amazing read! I would recommend this to anyone! I dont want to spoil the book at all so I am not going to even give a summary. Just make sure you read this fantastic book. The only unfortunate thing is that the author didn't write any other books so i will just have to be happy with this one and only this one! :( Could not put it down!
On The Island: A very sexy book, very easy and quick to read, and I couldn't put it down! Very excited for the authors next book to come out, (comes out Sept 17th of this year,) im putting it on my list right now! Definitely a good read for laying on the beach in the summer.
I am currently in the middle of the Jillian Michaels: Master Your Metabolism, and im liking it so far! And im super excited because i found a great deal on the wheat belly books and the Seriously im kidding book and they came in the mail today!!!!! So I am going book crazy!
On another note, I have just booked camping for Taylor and I during our holidays in July and i am super excited for that! We are going for 5 nights!!!!!! And we are also working on planning a camping trip for two nights in August with Eliesh, Jon, Delc, Zach, and Colin! Whoo!!!

Burnt but Happy
Hey Everyone,
Hope you are having a wonderful May 24th long weekend! I had a great time, and i will tell you all about it!!!! On Friday i worked until 1:15am and then Taylor picked me up from work and then we went to a sports bar with some co-workers. Then we came home and went to bed. Then Saturday we got up and had some coffee and relaxed and then went out for lunch with my great Aunt Bessie and great Uncle Frank! We went to Coras and it was very delicious! Then we went to a surplus store with them and i bought a pot to plant my herbs in and a hose because we didnt have one yet! Then we called my parents, my grandparents and my aunts and uncles and asked them to come over for dinner! Then we went grocery shopping and got the things we needed for a bbq! Then around 6:30pm everyone came over and we made hamburgers, veggie skewers, sweet potatoes and greek pasta salad! YUM! And then we all hung out and mom helped me plant my herbs. Then they all left and taylor and i stayed up playing little big planet two which was fun and then we went to bed. On Sunday we woke up kinda late (like 11:00am) and i made waffles with bananas, m&ms and whipped cream on top! Not healthy i know but still yummy! They were very sweet but super delicious! And then we got
ready to go and we headed to visit Taylors dad. We spent the afternoon with them and helped them put up their pool and relaxed and then went to my parents around 7:30pm for dessert! It was rhubarb custard pie, my moms specialty and very yum! Then Delc and Zach met us at my parents and we chatted for a bit and then headed to meet Colin and Delaney for fireworks! After fireworks we went to Colins and chatted with his parents and then we went downstairs and watched Jurassic Park and then Delc and Zach and Delaney left and Colin, Taylor and I fell asleep!
Then Monday (today) Colin, Taylor and I woke up and went to the store to buy eggs. Then Colins mom made us breaky and it was yummy and then we went outside for a bit and then we went to the parade! It was so nice outside!
At the parade we sat with my whole family and then when the parade was over Taylor and Colin and I went back to Colins and they swam and i chatted with Colins family and sat with my feet in the pool! Then Colins mom trimmed my hair because it needed a trim, and it looked very good, and then Taylor and I had to leave. We headed to my grandparents house for dinner and they made hamburgers and it was yummy! (so much good food this weekend!!!) And then everyone had to leave because they had other things to do and Taylor and I stayed and talked with Grandma and Grandpa for a while which was nice! Then Taylor and i came home and i watered my herbs and my other plants and now Taylor is watching the hockey game and i am right here, telling you about my weekend! And the best part? I dont have to work until 5:45 tomorrow night!!! so its like I have another day of holidays! Anyway i have a kinda bad sunburn on my nose and my shoulders and my chest but i think that will be okay if i can find the aloe vera. Also now my kitten, Olive is cuddling with me which helps! Thats all for now.... I am posting some pics of this weekend!
Love Always

Happy Mothers Day
Hey Loves!
Hope you are having a lovely day! I am having a very productive day!!!! I will tell you everything I have done today! I was up at the crack of 5:45am and off to work by 6:00am. Work started at 6:50am and I finished work at 10:50am! Then I went and picked up something for my brother and then i went to the market and bought apples, zucchini, peppers, and onions. Then I came home and had lunch, then I downloaded some new country songs "Highway Don't Care," By Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, and the new Band Perry Album! Then I loaded all the songs on my iphone and started cleaning the house! Then I cleaned the kitties litter and then I swept some stuff and then I went outside and cut the lawn and then I came inside and sat down because I did way too much today!
Tonight I think the plan is to make a quick dinner and then watch the movie "Summer Rental," an excellent John Candy movie that I would highly recommend if you can find it! Its funny!
Last night Taylor and i went on a date to East Side Mario's and i had my first sangria and let me tell you, it was delicious. We had a very nice time, but Taylor was being complainy about me kicking him in the shins under the table, which i though was unnecessary... They are love kicks! There were couples there eating dinner before prom and all the ladies looked like princesses and i realized that i want to dress up like that soon, but i guess the next time i will get to will be out wedding... merr... oh ya, and we are not engaged yet in case you are wondering because I mentioned a wedding lol.
I was told that my mom and brother are supposed to be coming over soon but i don't know if they are going to or not, because they do not have a cell phone so there is no way to find out.
Oh my gosh i just made the most delicious margarita! I will tell you how to make it now!
Into a bullet blender put: two shots birthday cake vodka, 1 shot amaretto, pineapple juice and frozen strawberries, melon, pineapple, grapes, cherries, and pretty much any frozen fruit and blend and enjoy!!!! YUM!!!
I dont really have much else to say, so tata and have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mothers Day to all the fantastic moms out there, but mostly to my mom, who is the very best in the world. She is always there for me, would do anything for me, and has been the best mom every second since i was born. I love you very very much mummy.
Love Always

It Has Been A While Hasn't It?
Dudes!
I am such a horrible failure at blogging.... but I want you to know that i have been very busy doing other things! I have been (for the most part) keeping up with working out and healthy eating with just a couple of slip ups... but i feel good still, only I want to see more progress then i am seeing right now, though i know it takes time... I actually might go to the gym right after i blog tonight (a nice 1ish in the morning workout yep yep) and so that is good of me i think! Don't you?
So what is new, what is new? OH YES OF COURSE! I got another cat... well she is a kitten... and she is very cute and hyper and we named her Olive! She is very friendly and beautiful and photogenic! Ill post pics on here one moment!!!!! Also in case you have forgotten, my other cat is named Boots. And her theme songs are... "Boots with the fur, all the cats were looking at her." and also "Booties Booties Booties Rockin everywhere," as per the popular hip hopish songs! Olive doesnt have a theme song yet, but soon enough... soon enough....
I think i am a crazy cat lady, but they are cute aren't they???? And they are very good friends with each other which is good! Anyway what else is new is that i have been working a lot and trying to pay my OSAP back, and i am watching friends right now and Taylor is at a LAN party with his friends from work, and i am also trying on lots of hats right now to keep myself entertained... Its not working very well but i am trying none the less.... Here is a picture of the top of my head/ my eyeballs.

Kale, Green Smoothies and Challenges
I am about to up-chuck. I am drinking a green smoothie which might sound good but... well ill tell you about it in a minute...
First i will tell you my challenge...
I am challenging myself in the next 30 days to do the following:
Exercise for at least 20 minutes a day (7 days a week)
Do the arms workout i found once a day (i will post this)
Have at least one healthy smoothie a day either as a meal or as a dessert (ick ick)
Have a healthy salad as a meal each day!
No Subway, Tim Horton's Pizza, etc...
Drink a full glass of water as the first thing i do in the morning.
So please pray that i can do this until April 8th! (and hopefully beyond that as well!)
Today i made Taylor and i a very healthy dinner and i will tell you about it and also keep you posted about all the healthy meal choices i make.
Anyway now i will tell you about our dinner!
I started with Kale (weird hybrid between lettuce and cabbage if you ask me!) But not bad actually for something that is ridiculously healthy! (Superfood some say!) I washed it and cut it up and put it into a big bowl. (LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF MY FOOD!)
Then i cut up a royal gala apple (actually i cubed it if you want to be technical!) And put it into the bowl!
Then i added dried cranberries and sliced almonds!
Then i went to add feta but the feta i bought -even though it is not yet past its best before date- is spoiled! RUDE! and i dont have the receipt so i am rather cheesed about that! So next time i will add some feta and let you know how it goes!
Anyway i didnt have the energy to try and figure out my own salad dressing (though that is my next step!) So i added Kraft Raspberry Vinaigrette and it was perfect!
A very delish salad! But very different, so dont expect it to taste like lettuce!
I suggest you try it ASAP!!!!! PLUS ITS ALL RAW SO ITS SOOOOO HEALTHY!
Sounds good right?
Anyway then i read on Young and Raw about this green smoothie that is very good for cleansing your body, and losing weight and clearing your skin! So i made it! And it does not taste good... it kind of tastes like eating grass with a few apple chucks here and there and also the texture is very vomit-like!
Inside the smoothie there is:
Granny Smith Apple
Kale
Fresh Parsley
Cucumber
Ginger
I just threw it into my bullet and it turned very discusting! But after having the salad and then the smoothie, i feel so good! also i worked out for 30 mins today using a few different videos and i am feeling like a million bucks! A million very crumpled, stepped on bucks.
So ya! I am proud of myself and i just feel very good in general! Also i believe i can do this and i think thats the main thing!
I am now sitting down and having a delicious cup of peppermint tea! YUM!
Okay thats all for now!
Love Always

Montreal: Day Three and Four
Hello everyone,
I have really been failing you haven't i? I was supposed to write about the rest of our Montreal trip last week but since i started back at work i have been very tired! So yah!
Anyway i will tell you about the rest of the trip now if you would like? Well actually i dont care if you want me to or not... i am going to anyways!
Day Three
On Saturday (Day 3) we spent the morning walking around, we went to visit Notre Dame and took a tour of it. It is so beautiful! And we learned a lot of cool facts about it and whatnot and it was really nice to see!
Then later on in the day we walked towards Mont-Royal, stopping for smoked meat at The Main (recommended to us) and when we got to the bottom of the mountain we got onto a bus and took the bus up to Maison Smith. Then around 6 pm we registered for our snow-shoeing tour and got all ready and put our snow shoes on and then with our group we snow shoed up the mountain. It was dark and the city was all lit up and its was beautiful! I was very glad to have the love of my life there with me.
Half way up the mountain we all stopped to have homemade chocolate truffles and mulled wine! It was so good! Then we continued on our journey to a lookout you can only get to by climbing the mountain. Its a view of almost the entire city and it was unbelievably beautiful!
When we got back to Maison Smith, a very nice lady who was on the tour with us told us she would give us a ride to the nearest subway which was so sweet of her and better for us because taking a cab or public transit would have cost money lol.
After we got dropped off, we stopped at a bagel bakery and had a yummy bagel (mine with peanut butter and Taylors with butter.) Then we headed back to the hotel and then went to the bar across the road to catch the end of the Montreal game. We had one drink there and then went to another bar near by and had another drink and then went back to the hotel and went to bed because it was slightly late and we were tired.
Day Four
On Sunday (Day 4) we went out for breakfast and then to the Montreal Biodome by metro. It was a lot of fun and we saw some really cool animals! I think we were there for about 2 hours and then we got back onto the metro and took it to near the hotel. Then we decided to walk up Rue Saint Laurent and we checked out some shops even though it was the coldest day ever! The wind was whipping against us no matter what direction we walked in and out faces were freezing off. Lucky for the shops to give us a short break from the nasty cold. We stopped at a pub and taylor had a beer and i had a water with lemon and we split a piece of baileys cheesecake which was good! Then after visiting a few more shops, we walked up to Schwartz (A tourist attraction restaurant for smoked meat) which was not nearly as good as The Main and not even in the same category as Reubens! And needless to say we got a little sick of smoked meat by this time... I think i am set for the next few years actually. lol. Also we ate so much in Montreal it was ridiculous! Delicious but too much!
Then i wanted to go swimming because our hotel had a pool that we had yet to use... so we went down to swim and found out that it was the coldest pool in existence! So i ended up going to sit in the sauna to warm myself and Taylor sat on the side of the pool to wait for me. Then we watched a bit of Myth Busters and then went to bed.
The next day i have a lot to tell you about so i will try and write about that later... i dont feel like writing any more today.
Love Always

Montreal: Day Two
Hello!
I have failed you by not blogging each day that we were in Montreal to tell you about our trip but i cant help that now can i?
So i will tell you about each day in separate posts with the day as the title so you are not confused... and by you i mean future me when i go back and read this nonsense!
So anyway on day 2 we woke up and went downstairs to a pub across the street to have breaky which was delish! Then we went for a walk down Rue Saint-Catherine and visited some shops! Then we had lunch at a place called Ruebens... which was very expensive but VERY delicious! Then we went to Old Montreal and looked around and saw some very beautiful old buildings. We tried to visit Notre Dame but we arrived after 5 and it was closed so we decided to go back to it on the next day!
After old Montreal we had a bit of a tiff so i went to get my nails done (lol i know that is very stereotypical) and they are quite cool because they are filed into points like claws and the nail polish on them changes colour with my body heat! Also the nail polish lasts over 6 weeks which is awesome!!! (The pointed nails is apparently a new trend in Montreal and the nail polish just came out on Wednesday!) Anyway im glad i did get them done because i met some cool people!
After i got back from getting my nails done we went out to a pub and had a beer and listened to a live alternative/jazz band and that was really cool! And then we headed back to the hotel because we were tired!
Love Always

Also the nail polish lasts over 6 weeks which is awesome!!! (The pointed nails is apparently a new trend in Montreal and the nail polish just came out on Wednesday!) Anyway im glad i did get them done because i met some cool people!
After i got back from getting my nails done we went out to a pub and had a beer and listened to a live alternative/jazz band and that was really cool! And then we headed back to the hotel because we were tired!
Love Always

Montreal: Day One
Hello Darlings and welcome to day one of our Montreal trip 2013!
We left home at 2am Thursday morning and got into Montreal around 930am. Unfortunately Montreal was very busy at that time in the morning and we were stuck in traffic for at least half an hour. Not only were we stuck I a crazy Montreal traffic jam but we were also having car troubles. Something to do with the transmission! Which sucks a ton and caused a lot of stress. And not only did that suck but we were being cut off constantly by crazy driving cab drivers!
Then we arrived at the hotel (Gouverneur Hôtel Place Dupuis Montréal) and we checked in and went up to the hotel with every intention of having a nap.... but the room looked like crap and we were not happy so i went to talk to the people at the front desk and they said if we paid $10.00 extra a night we could get a room upgrade.... we agreed (thank god) and went to our new room to nap! The view of the new room was very beautiful and that is probably because it was on the 25th floor instead of the 8th floor and also it was looking out over the whole city!
Despite the car trouples and being tired we made the very best of the day I feel by going out for a valentines day dinner at Saint-Hubert Restaurant. Taylor had chilly lime chicken with a side of roasted peppers and zucchini and I had a Thai chicken salad that was very delicious! Also I forgot to mention that Taylor got me a rose and a sweet card for valentines!
After dinner we continued our walk and stopped at a cafe for coffee and then back to the hotel because we were exhausted!
End of day one!
Tata for now

Coffee Buzz
Hello Lovelies!

But i probably will cook in a bit because im getting a bit hungry! I am watching Friends right now because its addicting and it never gets old in my opinion... but anyway...
I am also trying to find deals for our trip with not much luck so far!
I dont have much to say... OH YAH.... I forgot to tell you that on Pancake Tuesday (Tomorrow) I am going to make crepes because i dont like pancakes! They make me nauseous but crepes dont! I will have to make them after 10ish at night because i am babysitting my adorable little cousin until 9ish! I am looking forward to it a lot a lot because she is so sweet and cute and FUN!
Also i have a lot of cleaning to do today but i don't feel like it... cleaning is dumb... i want to hire a cleaning person lol.
Okay i actually dont think i have anything else to say...
So have a good day and i might write again later!
Love Always

A Little Trip
Hello my dears!
It is Sunday evening and i have spend a very lovely weekend hanging out with family! I saw my parents, my brothers, my grandparents and Taylor! So it was a good weekend indeed!
Grandma and Grandpa returned from their trip to Hawaii early this morning and then we went to their house and spent the afternoon listening to stories about their adventure and indulging in delicious and fresh chocolate covered macadamia nuts, straight from where they are grown! YUM!
On Saturday my mum and i spent the day in London and we didn't accomplish much but we had fun and i bought the book "The Hobbit," which i am excited to read and mom bought me a new car scraper because mine broke and in Canada you really need one of those EH!
Also i dont know if i have mentioned this yet but i finally watched ALL the Lord Of The Rings Movies and LOVED them! So now i feel that i MUST read the books and i will start with the Hobbit obviously! In case you wanted to know lol!
Now i'm sitting down drinking a cup of tea (My favorite tea which my mom bought me called Caramel something... i will tell you later!) and obviously writing in my blog, and also trying to plan a short 5 day trip to either Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa or Niagara Falls or somewhere, for the 14th (Valentines Day) to the 18th (The day before i return to work). Taylor got all 5 days off work so we were super stoked about that and now excited to plan a small adventure! Also we have been working hard to sell some thing we have on Kijiji to earn money for a trip and so far have done quite well! So anyway we are rather looking forward to going somewhere! Especially around valentines day! It will hopefully be romantic and nice and swell! And i finally got Taylors V-day gift in the mail and i have 2 others for him and i am excited for him to have them!!!!!!
Wednesday i have my doctors appointment to find out my blood work results... and hopefully all is well there.... So wish me luck please!
Also we are having car troubles again with our Saturn... Big surprise there... There is a leak and whatnot, and i dont know details but Taylor is figuring it out! I would actually be surprised if there wasnt a problem with our cars. hehe.
Other than what i have already said i don't think i have much else to tell you. So have a good day everyone and i love you all very much... And since Taylor is probably the only reader of this... I love you so unbelievably much, you are my everything!
One last thing... I would like to mention Diana, a dear friend of my mothers and a lovely person who was in my life since i was very very young, who passed away 3 years ago today.
It doesn't seem like that long.
Love Always

Dead Arm and Anger At The Government
Hello Loves,
How are you on this lovely Monday afternoon?
I'm Grand!
So I will start this blog by telling you about this song that i am in fricken love with! Its called "Today," by Joshua Radin! I love the live acoustic version especially because it is so adorable!
Anyway you should listen to it if you have the chance! I think i want it to be our wedding song lol!
On another note, my arm is dead... it is dead because i had to get blood-work done this morning and it was not pleasant and now my weenis's pit is bruised and it is not lovely. But i think i will likely survive, although who can be sure?
ON ANOTHER ANGRY NOTE THAT I AM MAD ABOUT... The government is ridiculous... I went on the 22nd of January and paid $75 to get my G class license and NOW they want me to renew my license before the 22nd of February for $90... WHAT THE HECK? Those money leeches! Leeching my money and whatnot! GAH!
Anyway i will stop talking about that now and tell you about my weekend!
Saturday:
Morning/Afternoon:
My Dad, my Mom, Taylor, and I went to my Aunt Bessie and Uncle Franks house for lunch and we had a marvelous time! We got to catch up with them and here tons of amazing stories and we got to read poems and stories about life that Aunt Bessie had written! And we got to see old pictures and learn about our family history! And Aunt Bessie made us copies of pictures and of letters! We had pizza for lunch and we got to see the beautiful artwork that Aunt Bessie does and it was so beautiful! She is so unbelievably talented! She gave Taylor and I a picture she made to hang in our home! I feel so blessed to have these people in my life. They are the type of people everyone should surround themselves with! So welcoming, and friendly and filled with life and love. And at eighty-something years old, so young at heart and spirit! They truly glow. I am a very very lucky person to know them.
Late Afternoon:
Mom and Dad came to our place for tea and a visit and dad helped us put up a towel rack and our new picture from Aunt Bessie. And Mom helped me do my dishes! (I could not ask for better family either!)
.JPG)
Evening:
Taylor and I drove to Ingersoll and we went straight to Delcinea's dads house and we met our friends there! Then we all walked to the restaurant and there were about 15 of us there! We had dinner and beer and Taylor and I Split a Ceasar salad and a turkey club sandwich and some Rickards Red beer. Then we all went back to Delcineas and hung out and partied there and it was lots of fun! Also i wore my pants that i told you about in a previous blog! They were a hit and i decided i love them! lol
Sunday:
Evening:
Anna, Brad, Craig, Taylor and I went to a pub near our house for the Super Bowl. I don't really like football all that much but i liked the half-time show because it was beyonce and she brought the girls from destiny's child out and it was awesome and very nostalgic! It was a good time for all :)
Anyway my dears... That is all i have to say for now...
Love Always

Twenty-Two
Good Afternoon Loves!
Yesterday was my 22nd birthday as you know and it was a very lovely day!
Taylor and i woke up around 9:00ish and had a coffee and i opened presents from him and then Taylor and his mom surprised me with lunch at a very nice restaurant called "Dean Michaels." It was delicious and very nice of them! Then Taylor and i went to my mom and dads to hang out for the afternoon and we played scrabble with my brothers which was awesome because i love scrabble... even though i literally ALWAYS lose! But thats OK! Then we had dinner which was taco salad by my request and these Mexican chicken roll-ups that my mom surprised me with! (A very eat-y day!) And then i opened presents from my parents and brothers and got a card from my grandma and grandpa! And then we had desert which was pink lemonade pie (Moms specialty and my request) And that was very delicious only at that point i was filled to the very brim! And then we all hung out and chatted and just had a nice relaxing evening and tea!
Also i got a fish from my brother Tim! Its name was going to be "Nicer Taylor" because that is just plain funny... but we changed the name to "Rocket."
Also is it just me or do Beta Fish kind of look like they are upside down fin-wise?
Oh and on another note i want to say something before i forget!!!! I dont know if you all watch new girl or not but it is awesome and in the last episode NICK AND JESS FINALLY KISSED!!!! It was a good kiss like a Penelope kiss! (A Penelope kiss means a kiss similar to the kiss at the end of the movie "Penelope," Between James McAvoy and whoever the girl who plays penelope it! Its an amazing watch-over-and-over-again kind of kiss!) Anyway thats about it for that!
Also i wanted to discuss that i went to the doctor on Wednesday and I apparently might have a thyroid thing going on like my mom... But thats all i am going to say on that topic until i know more after blood-work and everything!
I don't think i have anything left to say... OH YAH... i signed my contract for work this morning... so i officially am going to be working again on Feb. 19th.... So definitely no Ireland...
Also i FINALLY received unemployment today so that is very good news and quite a relief!
Tomorrow is Zach and I's birthday party at Delcinea's. It should be pretty fun :)
Ok that really is all now!
Love Always

Freaking Out
 | |
| Taylor and I at Disney on Ice! |
How are you today? I am freaking out... I don't want to go back to work... I don't want to feel the way i did when i worked there before for the six weeks. Bored. Tired. I don't want to feel like crap and i don't want to have less time with Taylor. I dont like that for half of the month i have to wake up at 5:30 am to and dont get home until 4:45 pm and then have to go to bed at 9:00 pm to be rested enough for the next day. And half of the month having to go to work at 3:30 pm and working until 3:13 am... Just to sleep until 2:00pm and go back into work right away afterwards... Where is my life outside of work? The weekend i guess.. if there is no overtime shift...
Its not that im ungrateful for having this great paying job... but look at what i have to sacrifice! I know so many people wanted the job that i have and i should be so thankful for it... but i feel so lonely and so bored while i work and then i feel so tired when i get home.....
21 Days until i go back to work... Less than a month. 3 Weeks. I am not ready to face an entire year of this. I feel panicked. Its silly... i know... I'm not going to war or something but i feel such anxiety over it...
Okay i am just going to relax... Yes that is what i am going to TRY and do....
I will tell you about my day.
I called my Grandma on my dads side and had a lovely conversation with her :) I always like talking to her because since she lives pretty far away i don't get to see her that often. Then i went to the mall and i spent my H&M gift card that i got for my birthday from my aunt, uncle and cousin, on some weird pants (that im not sure i want to keep yet! lol) and these pictures are the exact pants, from the H&M website... so you get the idea of how weird they are...and two button up shirts that are very basic but very nice.
 |
| The shirt I bought... White and Navy! |
Also i got Taylor and I these tupperware things that are meant for cereal and milk or yogurt and oats. They have a top and a bottom compartment and the bottom one goes in the freezer and the outside freezes and then you can keep milk or yogurt cold for the day if you don't have a fridge to use. It also comes with a nifty foldy spoon that lives in the lid of the top compartment! They are pretty useful and cool and mine is purple and Taylor's is green. Which is nice of me because green is my favorite colour!
I also got more Tupperware in general because it was on sale and Taylor keeps bringing the ones we have to work and losing them all! What a Silly Billy!!!
Have you guys heard the song "Merry Go Round," By Kacey Musgraves? Its really good! Its a country song so if you like country... definitely listen to it!
Also i dont believe i mentioned the events of Saturday and Sunday! So i will tell you now!
Saturday
Delcinea, Zach, Jon, Taylor and I went to "The Works" burger joint but Eliesha had to work so she couldn't make it for dinner. It was delicious as usual! I had a burger called "Crappy Tire," and it was a beef burger with this spicy red sauce on it and then a grilled pineapple slice and a lot of brie cheese, on a whole wheat bun! It was so bloody delicious! Too bad we kinda all promised not to get the same burger twice or i would get it next time! Also when i say spicy... i dont mean that spicy... because i dont like things that are too too spicy!
Anyway then after the works we met up with Eliesha and we went back to our place and had a few drinks and played cranium and it was so much fun!!! A really great night!
Sunday
Taylor and i got to mom and dad's around 11:00 am and we hung out and around 12:00 pm, My Aunts and Uncles arrived and we had lunch pretty much right away! Which was roast beef and potatoes and carrots, and homemade bread and pasta salad and it was delicious! Then i got to open presents! And i got a gift card to H&M and a gift card to Victoria Secret, and a beautiful scarf that Grandma made and a shirt and these beautiful plates and bowls that i am in love with! I will show you them too... one minute! Okay here they are! Aren't they beautiful? Because i think they are! Anyway after presents we had moms homemade chocolate cheesecake with oreo crumble crust and it was delish!
Then Aunt Connie, my cousin Caitlin, my Mum, Taylor (Not completely willingly) and Myself got in the van and headed to see Disney on Ice! Which you should all be jealous of because it was awesome! (I am a huge Disney fan)... Anyway it was a great day!
Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment and I am going to be hanging with my mummy, and maybe going to get more dishes for my set! Other then that i have nothing to say, so i love you all to pieces and so does Boots, (I know because she is staring at the screen right now) and if that is not love i dont know what is.
Okay GOODDAY and good riddance!
Just kidding!
Love Always

Ireland is Extremely Far Away
Hello Readers...
So the worst has happened. Well there are worst things... but the Ireland trip is cancelled.... Yep... I got called back to work... Today... I go and sign the contract on Friday morning.
I am pretty bummed, because i was really really looking forward to it!
I go back to work starting Feb. 19th, on afternoon shift.... Its good because i will have money, and i will be able to pay off my student loans... but i have to go back to the same area as i was in before and it is very lonely and boring and it makes the shift drag on and on :(
New plan now... save up money and go to Europe in a year or so... I just dont want life to get away from us and i dont want to end up going to school and getting a career, and getting married and having kids... and growing up without traveling... That would be sad!
Anyway i just wanted to write that because its obviously what is on my mind right now!
Thats all!
Love Always
