Part one of my tattoo is done!

I went last Thursday to get this done. It's a lot bigger than I originally wanted, but I like it. It took 2 hours and I'm not going to lie it fucking hurt. The tattoo artist was Ned from www.endlessboundaries.ca. A few of my friend's have been tattooed by him and gave positive reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. He has a very gentle and soft personality and he kept the conversation flowing with my sister and friend, which helped distract me from the pain.

I'm going back on March 13th to get more shading, and I can't wait to see what it will look like!

Abandonment Issues

2012-01-30T21:12:00.002-05:00

My naturopath quit her practice in town. She has a full time practice in in a bigger city about an hour and a half from here, and has a lot of personal drama happening (something to do with a new boyfriend and ex-fiance).

I feel abandoned. I know this is a completely selfish thought, but it's what I feel. I've felt so much better since I've been seeing her, and I've sunk a fair chunk of money into her. I was supposed to see her this Friday. Now what?

I know that it sounds stupid, but this little tidbit of information really hit me hard, for a lot of reasons I can't explain because I don't fully understand them myself.

Blessing wind

I wish farting was more socially acceptable.

Not that I am a very gassy person, but on the occasion that I accidentally ingest wheat, I get killer stomach cramps from gas. If it were socially acceptable to just fart in public, I wouldn't have walked around with insane stomach pain today.

Why do people think that "toot" or " blessing wind" is less offensive than saying fart? You have gas, you farted. It's not any less gross because you used a different word. it's still air blowing out of your arse.

Happy New Year

It's a new year now

Time to make resolutions

...I don't have any

Happy Christmas Muggles!!

2011-12-25T23:17:00.001-05:00

I received a Hogwarts acceptance letter this morning. So my next week will probably be spent in Diagon Alley getting things in order before I leave!

Ok, done being a huge dork.

I had a great Christmas! We had 16 people for dinner and since I did all the cooking, I didn't have to do any clean up.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.

And now for a week off !!!!!

Good things come to those who wait.

My brother and his fiance broke up this summer. He is dating someone new and is head over heels for her, and her son.

I've never seen him like this. He is happy and confident. He is so in love with his girlfriend's son. I knew he always wanted kids, but seeing him interact with this little guy... he's a natural.

I am extremely happy for my brother; and a bit jealous. How is it that he is single 3 months and find a women that seems perfect for him? I've been single for 3 years and I can't even find someone that want to go on a date with me.

Someone told me "Good things come to those that wait"... another one of those sayings I don't particularly believe.

I woke up like this

What is that all about?

AA Milne

I never realized how many lovely quotes are in the Winnie The Pooh books.

"I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time."

"Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you."

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you."

Spelt Pizza Dough

2011-12-13T21:40:00.002-05:00

Today my sister and I tried our hands at some wheat free pizza dough. We use this recipe and added flax seeds and Salba. The dough didn't really"behave" the way wheat dough does, it was really tough to knead and roll onto the pan.

We loaded it up with veggies and a bit of cheese ( to kept the GI lower) and popped it in the oven.

We were both surprised at how quick it was to make and bake, only about 30 minutes!

Overall the pizza was pretty good, although next time I think I will make it a thinner crust.

Pharaoh Ants

These little bastards are all over our house. The kitchen was the first place we noticed them but recently they have started showing up in the bathrooms, in the basement and on the top floor.

I hate bugs. Really hate them. They gross the hell out of me.

My mom finally decided this is a real problem and called an exterminator. They are coming to "take care of the problem" on Sunday and need 4 hours to complete the job.

However they also require us to make sure all of the baseboards are accessible. Meaning we have to clean out things that are under our beds...

This is not good.

Another Friday Off

2011-12-09T15:26:00.001-05:00

I always have such big plans for my days off, but my inability to focus on a task means that I rarely actually accomplish anything.

Just like today.

I wanted to get blood tests done, bake some wheat-free bread, clean my room, do laundry, finish my book etc.

So far all I have accomplished is a shower.

This was my favourite postcard on Postsecret today. I just went to Starbucks yesterday and it's true. You always sound like a douche

Tuesdays with Morrie

2011-12-03T00:22:00.001-05:00

I just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie. It's a sad yet inspirational story about a man diagnosed with a terminal illness but makes the best of his time left.

"I think marriage is a very important thing to do, and you're missing a hell of a lot if you don't try it."
This quote really stuck with me. I know many people that don't think marriage is necessary, helpful or a positive change in anyway. But for me, it seems like such a wonderful adventure with your best friend.

And I think everyone should have the chance to have an adventure with the person they love.
