I Do? Holy Crap!!!

Um so I may have been away for a bit there.. 1.5 years it looks like. Sorry I was out Living.

But I figured I would repost my blog as I've finally got settled down again... somewhat.... for now anyway. After reading most of my posts again I realize I've been very distracted from writing down my thoughts. Which is both a good and a bad thing becuase it keeps me from going crazy; thinking too much, and foils my attempts to be bitter. However, it seems like I will be getting married next year... yes MARRIED! I was completely surprised with that particular tid-bit of news. I guess when a guy really makes a decision to be with someone there is no wasting time. I mean I thought I would have had to wait a lot longer. not that I would have waited forever mind you... but i dont mind waiting

Getting married is a big step, and its made me quite introspective on what to do next in my life. Its made me realize that I no longer cringe at the idea of marriage though i had some help thinking about it, or the process of getting married. or that it will always be a bad experience. though its been proven to me that its not or that i will remain childless so as to look forward in undermining my sisters kids if and when she has any.

I've already booked the hall, found a florist, met the priest, designed the party favours, and labels; bought a dress ( though my moms pissed that she didnt get to look with me) semi finalized the reception list. So yah I've been a little busy.

Winterlicious!! Summerlicious

Its back on again! did i mention i like good food alot. ive always like going to the nice places to eat. its good to treat yourself to good gourmet completly over expensive food at least once in a while. im lucky this only comes around once in a while.

In the last couple of years that ive participated in it, ive noticed that the same restaurants generally keep coming back every year. thats not to say that the menus arent fantastic and different every time, nor does it mean i have a big enough bank account to go to more than 2 restauarants per year.

but the places ive been whether for winter/summer licious have been excellent.

Canoe - i went when i was in school still, i could only afford the wild mushroom soup. which was fantastic! the time i was there during the lightening storm was pretty cool too

the next time i went the food was excellent and the dessert was out of this world molten lava cake.. i dont know what they put in it but i really would have eaten another, or gone in the kitchen and taken more and run.

Auberge du Pommier - the food rocked!

UPDATE: WTF have you been?!

So..... I haven't posted anything in 4 months at least (feels like confession actually) and not that i haven't wanted to but things happen, people get writers block, preoccupied, distracted.

What has been distracting me? quiet a few things let me tell you! I'm relearning how to swim, i got a new camera ! a slick canon Powershot s3 IS, which is permanently in my purse, and i still need to get a case for it as its getting a bit knocked about. hopefully i wont break this one as quickly.

I've been slowly, ever so slowly saving for a place. which is a great deal harder then i thought it would be. I guess its going to take a lot longer then I thought.

Don't tell my mother but I've been learning to cook as well. I am impressed with myself with the things i can actually make without burning anything.. though there was an incident with a pound of beef and hamburger helper; and burning a pot.... and then there was the other pot I broke crushing ice.....


But ! i can make the best veal steak ever! and lazengea and salmon with couscous with roasted peppers and mushrooms! i even made cupcakes ... so there!


My job has been going alright, but I've been distracted from that, which has gotten me in trouble, but I've been working on correcting that, by at the very least getting more sleep, motivating myself to go back to the gym, and getting over getting hit by a truck..

Apparently I didn't really get over that. I'm not sure though sometimes I'm OK and sometimes I'm not. i can't sit comfortably in the side passenger seat, especially when big honking tractor trailers go by, and I won't drive in the far left lane any more on curves. I guess it will take a while.

Paid - Payback

this post has been a long time coming. But I finally finished paying off the loan for the car. The car from fucktard (see here for that tale of woe). Mind you its ironic that 2 months after paying for the car, I ended up cosigning on another car with my mother this one to buy as oppose to lease.. But I remember signing the papers for the new car and almost hyper ventilating and getting hysterical because I was doing it all over again.

Fucktard never did keep his promise. I never really expected he would. He is a would-be politician.

Cauliflower : The Albino Mutant Vegetable

I Can't eat it! I refuse.. if there is anything I won't eat (along with one or two other food substances) this is it.. I am very anti-cauliflower.

Why? do you ask? it is just a vegetable. It can be a rather nice one when it wants to be. However I hate the damn thing.

IT IS AN ALBINO MUTANT VEGETABLE! a bad brassica, a cabbage of disrepute, a mother to the dreaded broccoli, and its origins obscured in the ether of the middle ages. so you have no idea who! has been fiddling with it over the years


I just don't like its pale little white flowers। and it is rather tasteless. I know it comes in different colours but I still wouldn't eat it... Especially when the colours it comes in are purple and orange.

and brussel sprouts are its bastard children
