let's play this game again :)

are you compatible with me???

I want everyone who reads this to tell me what score you get :)

What's the big deal???

Everyone is going on and on about Britney shaving her head and getting new tattoes... so what....

I've shaved my head before, just because I felt like it, I've wanted to it again many times since. Shaving your head is liberating, and you get rid of all the negative energy that has placed itself there. Britney did it... so what....

And lots of people get tattoes, all the time... it's art people and it's personal, so what ...

those of you going on about it, shouldn't you be more concerned about Karla Homolka having a baby, or the fact that there are still women that Robert Picton killed, still missing, or that there are peophiles on our streets and that women are being abuse all the time...

who cares if Britney shaved her head!

you suck!

you suck! I doubt you will read this, you probably don't read blogs, you don't seem the type. when I get an opportunity I will tell you to your face. i don't think you realize you suck, you are too selfish and caught up in your own world to know.

you aren't the only one who sucks. there are many more and I feel they need to know too

to the woman on the subway this morning, who could not control her two year old, letting him flail around like a maniac kicking and hitting any one who was near. you suck.

to the people who couldn't be bothered to shovel the snow from the front of their sidewalks. you suck

to the person who decided to start their snowblower up at 4 am this morning. you suck

to the woman who keeps making the catty comments about my weightloss. get over yourself. you suck

to every man who didn't treat their partner extra special yesterday. you all suck!!!

some points I would like to make...

This last week has been frustrating to me. I seem to be repeating the same things over and over again to people or... the SAME people, so i am doing a little card with this blog address and when I hear the same questions again next week I will direct them here.... yes, there is anger and frustration in my tone... sigh

I am not sick! I'm doing this on purpose. I have been working hard to lose weight since August. This weight didn't fall off over night!!! I'm also NOT starving myself. There is nothing wrong with having a lunch that consists of a large bowl of veggies and hummus!

I will never be a size 6!!!! EVER!!!! Women aren't suppose to have perfectly flat stomachs, a hard ass or arms like a man. We are suppose to have curves and I adore mine!

I am vegan. No I do not eat cheese and yes YOGURT IS DAIRY. No I do not eat cheese and yes YOGURT IS DAIRY. No I do not eat cheese and yes YOGURT IS DAIRY. I thought if I said it three times and clicked my heels together it would finally sink in to the brain of the person that has asked me 4 times this week if I wanted some cheese or yogurt.

Excuse me, I'm trying to get by. The voice in my head is really saying, 'MOVE OUT OF THE WAY YOU FUCKING RETARD!!! Are all teenagers deaf and must they carry hiking packs everywhere they go and NOT remove them on crowded buses!!!!!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

an inconvenient truth

I just watched a movie called an inconvenient truth. RENT this documentary now!!! It was eye opening. Everyone needs to watch it, then make your children watch it, insist that schools show this movie to their students, tell everyone you know to watch it. We need to snowball Al Gores message and get it out there. I try my hardest to help the envroment, I recycle, don't litter, us enviromentally friendly products, packaging etc. I use public transit or walk where ever I can. But after watching this, I realized I am not doing enough and that will change as of this second.

Earth is our home and if we don't stop the way we are treating it right now, it will evict us!

Just look around you. Look at all the polution, the extreme weather, the vanishing forests, lakes and species. Over population, drought and famine. You think that is all happening on it's own. Think again, we are causing all of these problems and we are the only solution to stop it from getting worse!

Mother Earth is angry and she is fighting back and trust me, she will win.

today...

saddened about the death of anna nicole smith, when her son died the media should have left her alone

angry by the news that karla homolka is married and just gave birth to a baby boy

confused why a woman would feed her 1 year old cheetos' to shut him up

flattered by all the compliments I got today about my weight loss

intrigued by a book called 'Green for Life'

in love with these vegan blogs, I check them every day

Canadian Food Guide

It's a sad, sad world we live in when it take a countries government 15 years to publish a revised Food Guide. That's right the Canadian Food Guide hasn't been updated in 15 years. The new version came out yesterday. Did you also know it took 4 years for them to do the updating?

4 YEARS? No wonder Canadians are becoming obese at an alarming rate. Heart disease and cancer are at all time highs.... Children are being raised on junkfood instead of fruits and vegetables. It's no wonder our farmers are giving up and closing down.

Trust me there is a more indepth rant coming for this weeks issue of Shebytches.com

In the meantime here is a link to the updated Food Guide.

We created a new holiday!

And there are new issues live at shebytches.com and lipstikindie.com and new pictures and recipes at voluptuousvegans.wordpress.com.

we've been busy!

Brains... Brains....

Last night I subjected myself to what was probably the worst zombie movie every. Wait, yes, it was the worst. It was corny, one of the female stars was naked for the entire movie, the special effects for 1985 where much more advanced than this. The FX people should be ashamed of themselves... Right the title. Return of the Living Dead.... bleech. So, that inspired me to put together a list for you...

Best Zombie Movie - In my books that is 28 Days later. Not surprisingly a british made master piece that makes me proud.

Worst Zombie Movie - As mentioned above Return of the Living Dead

Funniest Zombie Movie - Shaun of the Dead. I had to watch this movie three times because, the first time I had to keep explaining British Speak to the people watching with me (annoying), the second was peeing myself while laughing, the third time to actually see what was really going on. And the zombie parts were good too!

First Zombie Movie - The first known Zombie movie was released August 4, 1932 and was called White Zombie. I have it on video and the quality isn't so great, apparently the DVD version has been remastered and is much easier to watch. Me thinks I need a trip to the DVD store.

Biggest Franchise - Living Dead... though I don't think George Romero is making a huge profit from all of them....

Best Trend to come out of Zombie movies - Zombie Walks, I so want to do it next year!!!

Sexy Vegetables

Ok, this made me hot and hungry

Vegan Haggis… but I still refuse to eat it! I got this from Veg World

This recipe can be prepared in advance, ready to bake before serving. The quantities are for four people, but don't worry if the servings look small - the dish is very filling.
• ½ cup (3 oz, 75 g) fine oatmeal (the pinhead variety works best)
• 2/3 cup (4 oz, 110g) of brown or green lentils
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 2 large carrots, finely grated
• 4 to 6 mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tsp. ground spices (your choice of cumin, turmeric, paprika or nutmeg, in any combination)
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• One 14-oz (400 g) can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Knob of dairy-free margarine
Oven: Pre-heat to 375F (190C)
Put the oatmeal in a bowl and cover with water. Let it stand for at least an hour. Drain thoroughly.
Place the lentils in a pan of water and boil rapidly for 20 - 30 minutes or until soft (the time will vary according to the type of lentils). When the lentils are ready, drain and rinse them in a sieve.
Sautée the onion in the oil until it is soft. Add the carrots and mushrooms, and cook for a little longer. Then add the spices, soy sauce, cooked lentils and about a quarter of the kidney beans.
Using a food processor or blender, purée the remainder of the beans to form a thick paste (add a little water if necessary to prevent it getting too stiff). Add this to the lentil and vegetable mixture.
Finally, add the drained oatmeal, salt and pepper, and the garlic. If the mixture looks too dry, add the margarine. Mix well.
Transfer to an oven-proof dish and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Hello Grade 9

Why is it that all the people around me, seem like they are still living in grade nine??? I've taken a hard, long look at them and most are in their 30's, good jobs, dress like adults, yet, act like grade niners.

~They gossip

~They ignore you when you ask a question

~They talk about things that I would think kids in grade nine would talk about, such as video games, or TV shows meant for teenagers.

~They judge you by what you are wearing

~They have meaningless conversations... blah blah blah

I would like to escape from this never ending grade nine nightmare. I expecting to start running down a highschool hallway, past the lockers, naked and never able to get to the door at the end. You know that dream, the one where everyone is pointing and laughing. I'm sure it will happen, these people are all around me!

A day too long...

Today is the first official day off the fast. It's the day of orange juice! I am however wondering if I went a day too long. By mid afternoon yesterday the lemonade was upsetting my stomach, but the time I drank the last glass it was worse. My body was definetly telling me I was done.

I am so looking forward to tomorrow when I get to eat fruit and soup!!!

I'm done!

Today is going to be the last day of my fast. My body is telling me it's done, so, I'm done! Tomorrow is orange juice all day. Then the next two days are lemonade in the am, seeds and fruit for lunch, veggie soup for dinner. After that I will follow a similar diet but will not eat soup every night, will have a nice healthy meal.

Day 14 What is that I'm seeing.

Is it the light at the end of the tunnel?

Tomorrow will officially be the last day of the fast. I could probably stop today, but said 15 days so will do one more. My body has told me it's done, so it's done. My tongue is pink again, and I haven't lost any more weight for two days, so those are the signs I am doneskys!!!

I will be glad to taste something other than lemonade and tea. I am massively craving spicey foods and am obsessing about food!!!
