Okay, so lent ended with a bang!! Let's just say that as much pride as Chris felt on Saturday morning, he felt the equal amount of shame and stomach pains on Sunday morning.So, yet again I've quit my job, and I've decided that I need to go into business for myself, because it has been pointed out to me that most of my problems are related to working under people; well, that's not entirely true, some of my bosses I have absolutely adored; either way, I've officially starte...

I haven't updated in a while, and I'm not going to lie, I've been receiving some curt feedback regarding my negligence.So, since I last left off Chris was in the fight of his life refraining from meat and alcohol. Things took a turn about 4 weeks in, when I was forced to by him some B Vitamins, because he passed out at the gym in the middle of a sit-up. Funny is funny, but I'd rather he didn't pass out while driving or something.Three days after he got the B-Vitamins int... Read Full Story

Well, I suppose it's no accident that I'm writing this on St. Patrick's Day. Maybe Chris' biggest test of will so far. He's been getting quite sleepy lately, because of the lack of iron and protein. It's only been 2 weeks, and he looks like Robert Downie Jr., just before rehab (with the dark purple circles,and emaciated face). He's already lost over 10 lbs.I've been trying to trick him into eating meat (mainly, just for something to do); it's not hard, ... Read Full Story

Chris and I are not particularly religious people; however, technically Chris is Greek Orthodox. After packing on a few winter pounds, Chris decided that he would participate in Lent this year. I'm not quite sure if you're supposed to use Lent as a fitness program, none the less, he has decided to commit. Now, Lent for the Orthodox started this past Monday, and lasts until Easter (supposedly 40 days), and with the fast, there is to be no consuming of meat products, or alcohol.To ex... Read Full Story

Not a lot of writing in this blog, I thought you might enjoy pictures of my girls playing Star Wars dress up (Tyra is yoda, and Miley is Darth Vader). They're in a science fiction phase right now, and personally I don't get it, but whatever. Have a good day!!p.s. I quite my job!! so more on that later!!xoxox,m Read Full Story

Well, I started a new job, so that's mainly why my blog has been lagging...but I guess, it was also a particularly stressful holiday season...And I've never really been one for Christmas; however, I was particularly burned out this January.Something I briefly wanted to discuss was Christmas Carols. Have you ever noticed that, probably, since elementary school you can't sing any Christmas Carol by heart??It's not a bad thing, because I think Christmas means different things to...

I guess one of the main things you do when you're a couple is attend dinner parties, or so I've been told. I guess it's true, Chris and I do find ourselves at our share, but there is one such dinner party that sticks out among the rest.It starts off like a Neil Simon play, Chris and I were invited to dinner by our neighbour (in the old neighbourhood) a French Canadian - chain smoking (as in smoked while he ate) carpenter, and his Romanian wife. Now their nationalities aren't... Read Full Story

Have you ever been caught doing something embarrassing, because you thought that no one was looking? Or you forgot someone else was in the room?I think this happens to everyone, because I know I've been caught and I've caught other people too; like the time I was working with my friend Tara. Tara's office was in a remote location, and for the majority of the time she was by herself. Occasionally I needed to do work in her office, at the desk beside her. So one day we were work...

This past weekend I celebrated my 26th birthday, and Chris and my 4th anniversary. Chris was like, "Let's go somewhere, anywhere you want!", and of course I was like "EDMONTON!!". It's not a particularly glamorous, or eventful city, but I have a group of friends there, that I went to school with, and I missed them!I miss my friend Leanne because she and I have fun adventures together! When she lived in London, we used to be like a magnet for creepy men with horribl... Read Full Story

The other day my sister said to me, "You have to go see Jay and Danielle's baby". Jay and Danielle are friends of my sister, and they are an extremely nice couple and they supposedly have "an amazing baby". But really I don't think I quite get the whole baby thing yet. Like when I got to someones house I'm more likely to pick up their dog, than pick up their kids. For me an amazing baby could like do card tricks, or maybe drive a car.Seriously, unless it's ...
