I fell down.......

I realized last night, everything is going to be ok. I fell down, had noodle soup on the hottest day of the year and drank lychee martini's. (In case you are wondering, I fell down first). My girl friend laughed at me when I gell down, but then again... I laughed at myself. Something happened at that very moment though. That moment made me realize, I'm going to be ok.

Oh wait, maybe I should back it up a bit. It's been a while since I've blogged, so am sure many of you are wondering what the hell I meant by that. Recently there has been a major life change happening for me... I'm not ready to talk about just yet. Stay tuned as down the road I will. I'm not ill or anything like that, but due to this change there is has been upheaval, emotional moments, panic, stress and so on. Through all of this... no matter how unbearable, there have been my girlfriends waiting to hug me, wipe my tears, feed me, give me shelter and hand me booze.

It's true what they say about finding out who your real friends are. When crisis happens, you see who is by your side and who runs away. I've always been a loner, choosing to sit in front of my computer writing rather than hang out with friends... or so I would make it seem. Making this change has not only made me come to terms with the things I was doing, it has also made me realize just how big my circle of friends is and I can tell you, it's quite massive.

No one even flinched when I asked for help. No one, I have friends and relatives coming out of the woodwork. I can't even explain to you how grateful I am for each and every one of them. My biggest piece of advice to all the women reading this. Hold all of your girlfriends dear to you close, trust me, they are the ones that are going to be ready to help you and if necessary do battle. They are the ones you need to ensure you keep for life.

I love each and everyone of you!!!

Write or email them and voice out. I am. How can the do this to animals. As soon as I saw it was Beagles, I started to well up. I grew up with Beagles and they are the sweetest, gentle, loveable dogs. They have big brown eyes and floppy ears and all they want to do is love you. How can anyone harm a beagle or any other creature. Shame on Air Canada!!!!!

that explains alot...

I just realized it's a full moon out tonight... that just helped explain a tonne.... I get it now!

is anyone home...

sometimes I wonder. I've been a bad blogger, but it's been very busy! Am writing my ass off... when am I not.

am struggling with the humans again it seems. I tire of them. a few rules that will help you get along with me

don't be inconsiderate
don't stand me up. I have a cell phone call me if you aren't showing up
don't take me for granted
if you aren't interested I'd rather you tell me rather than ignore me
don't be rude, it's not acceptable
don't disrespect me, you have to earn my respect and you have to work to keep it

see why I am having issues with the humans...

sigh

one huge disappointment after another it seems...

time to get on with it... except I seem to be stuck in neutral...

can someone give me a shove?

Another crazy weekend ahead

I have way too many errands to run today... haircut.. groceries... on and on... I have to clean this place! three story proposals adn a grant to get done... we need to clone me!!!

Not to mention.. I think my dog might be my soul mate... if I could get people to look at me the way he does... at least he's blonde!

Awesome blog

Check out this girl! She rocks!!! sarah 811

hello is anyone home

Wow, I just realized that I haven't posted in a really long time... here's an update

I hate doing my taxes, spend most our recent gorgeous Saturday, doing them... blah
All men are pricks
We need to banish all TV stations!
A great anti-man movie, The Wickerman (one with Nicolas Cage)
I want to see Hot Fuzz
The Beaches has too many people with SUV strollers
Raw Food kicks major ass, except right now I'm bloated and gassey, but I think my body is just adjusting
I'm turning into a health fanatic
All men are pricks... did I mention that?
I learned how to properly start seeds and have become the sprouting queen!
Zombie MOVIES RULE!

where have I gone

not far... not to worry am still here... am fasting and have been posting here and also working on the 30 Day Raw Challenge Blog... no worries, I haven't forgotten about this one :)

Fast, Fast, Faster!

It's that time again! I'm on day one of my 3rd Detox/Fast. You can check out all the details here (we've started a group blog)!

Two more sleeps!

Two more sleeps till I start my third Master Cleanse! I am very, very excited. Better than Xmas, then after that the 30 day Raw Challenge!!!

There are two group blogs for both, they can be found here:

the church of t.h.i.n
the 30 day raw challenge


I went and got another jug of maple syrup from Carrot and now have all the stuff I need. Funnily enough as we were approaching carrot, cops came out of no where, apparently after some guy with a gun. When I saw the cops running and one with his hand on his holstered gun, Janis and I decided to stay exactly where we were and wait till all the chaos stopped. It just figured the takedown was outside Carrot!

30 Day Raw Challenge

I'm about to do something wild and crazy!!! For the entire month of May I am going to go 100% raw. This is a huge thing for me, because I love my cooked food! For every day I am raw I am putting a dollar in a jar and at the end of the challenge am going to pick a charity and donate it. (haven't figured out the charity yet).

Would anyone else like to join in on the challenge. Or at least cheer me on. I know May seems like a long ways a way, but really it is only a month. For April I am doing a detox/fast and figured May was the perfect month to do the challenge. It also gives me time to find a used dehydrator (fyi anyone in toronto selling one or know someone who is???) and how to make my own sprouts. (can someone suggest a good book for that)

anyone... anyone... bueller... bueller... and May is great time to start playing hookey

To breed or not to breed... that is the question...

is it something in the air or water.... was winter really that cold?

is this contagious... if it is I want to a vaccine to prevent it...

i blame all of this on gwenyth... she made yoga hip again... why did she have to do the same for child birth....

my point

every other female seems to be pregnant at my place of work....

strep throat is also going around, is there a connection???

do we really need to add to the world's population...

I personally won't be.

me breeding is probably not a smart thing to do...

with my luck, I would give birth to the anti-christ....

if chastity belts were still in style, mine would be covered in thorns!

Awesome Master Cleanse Video blog

I am doing my third master cleanse detox in April. This time I am going to try to do 20 days. I am starting to pump myself up for it and decided to google other blogs that have posted about it. This one is brilliant. I wish I had a webcam. I may invest in one as I think it is a clever idea to do a video blog for the next one. Who knows, we will see. In the meantime check this out!

the lucky penny and my new hero

Today Deb gave me a lucky penny. The penny is indeed lucky! I've been having the week from hell, including computer problems again. I had to take my beloved iBook to the shop and have been stressing about it ever since. Before I went to pick it up was when Deb gave me the penny.

I was expecting worst case senario when I went to pick up my computer, instead I was given some of the best news I had heard in three days. Not only was the problem fixed but was fixed with out having to reformat my computer. For that Glen of Northstar Computers is my new hero.

I am about to put that lucky penny to work and am going to get all it's worth out of it. I need luck right now. Trust me.

Book News from one of our writers

Check this book by Karoline Blaha-Black! She is one of our writers.

The book is called "Anika and the Magic Top" and it is a fantasy story for middle grade girls (7-12 years old). The book costs $12.00 and is available for purchase online at www.lulu.com, from myself, and will be also available in the Denton (Texas) Hastings next month in the "Local Authors" section.

Twelve-year-old Anika finds a magical spinning top in her mother’s garden. Upon spinning it, it transports her to a land called Animalia. It is a magical land where only animals live, and it is ruled by an evil opossum king called Zarr. Zarr steals the top, Anika’s only way of return to Earth, but Anika and her friends figure out a desperate plan. They manage to trick Zarr, and Anika banishes him with the help of the top to an unknown land, so he can’t tyranize Animalia anymore. Victorious, she returns to Earth with a special gift from the Animalians and rejoins her family.
