Taking a break!
I have been really busy lately with work and school and my social life. Sometimes, when I should be studying or doing homework (or working) I find myself on this blog adding things to it. I've realized that I need to be contributing my creativity and passion for blogging to something more important. I have ALWAYS wanted to write a blog about my personal life. A diary, if you will; Things that have happened in the past, things I want to happen and things I wish never did. I've always been too scared to divuldge such intimate details of my life for fear of being judged. But fuck it...
I've decided that I am going to write a book. I've wanted to do this for a long time... I've told my boyfriend before and he never took me seriously. I mean, how could he? How could this 20 year-old woman with no real editorial experience, have the mental capacity to write a book? lol I understand why he didn't believe me. Last week I told him again that I am writing a book about my life. His answer to me this time was "Everyone goes through things in their lives, what makes your story more interesting than anyone else's?" The difference is; I'm not afraid to tell my story. He was speechless.
I'm not an "author" by any means. I just enjoy writing and I have a lot to say. I have been through many things in my life - things that you wouldn't think a girl like me would have gone through. Things that most people might not even experience in their entire lifetime I have experienced in a 24 year span. Never judge a book by its cover.
So, I have started a new blog (I am not sharing the link at this point, but eventually I will). In the meantime, I won't be updating this page anymore. Thanks for reading up to this point and try some of the recipes in the "Eat" section :)

Do want.... Tiffany & Co. bow earrings in platinum with diamonds. <3
Herrow... Is anyone still here?
While I like to think that I am super interesting and people really care about what I have to say, I know for a fact that there are only about a dozen of you that read this blog daily (I know this because I can check the traffic on my page). Unless I post a link to my Twitter or Facebook with my updated posts no one really reads this. That is okay with me though, it just means I can get away with saying a lot more ;)
Lately I have been feeling so SHMEH! I've been feeling ugly and un-motivated. I've been feeling like less of a woman and I can't seem to shake the feeling nor pin-point where it came from. I have been over-analyzing every little imperfection I have and I don't know why - that's not me.
My biggest piece of criticism I give myself lately is that I'm too skinny. Then the list goes on; my tits are too small, my nose is crooked, I need Invisalign, I hate my glasses blah blah blah.... I never think like this. I am usually the girl telling her friends that they don't need any sort of plastic surgery and that they're fine the way they are. I'm the one who is usually telling my friends that they are crazy, and that no one notices they're flaws or analyzes them as much as they do themselves. I'm ususually the one that sees the bigger picture and knows that the way someone looks shouldn't determine their self-worth.
If I am that girl then why am I thinking all of these crazy thoughts? Has the media and my obsession for women who look like Victoria's Secret models finally gotten to my head!? Is this a part of getting older!? Do I have S.A.D!?... S.A.D would make sense actually. Living in darkness and rain for the past 5 months probably doesn't help anyone's mood. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
Just to enlighten you on my crazy/sad levels lately; Yesterday I was showing my boyfriend my nail polish and he made an (innocent) comment on how they looked like "little girl's nails".... *RED ALERT* *RED ALERT* Holy fucking shit, What terrible timing for this poor asshole! I immediately got teary-eyed and lashed out at him saying "Well that makes sense because I'm not a woman anyways!!!!!" <------ And that ladies is how you initiate psycho-status with your man (o_O) I am not even on my period or close to getting my period either... NO EXCUSES!
After I had acted like a complete crazy person telling him I feel like a 16 year-old boy and that my body was not "womanly" in my eyes, he and I sat down in the livingroom where he told me three things (well, four things if you count him asking me if I was on my period): 1. You're sexy skinny. You have a beautiful caboose and a nice natural rack. So you may be a little thinner than average, there are women out there who would KILL to have your body! 2. You're skinny. WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT!? 80% of women out there have to work their asses off in the gym 4 days a week and watch every single thing they put in their mouths. Stop complaining about this blessing you've been given! 3. Being a woman isn't about what you look like, it's how you carry yourself and how you feel in here (he pointed to his chest). Just because you don't have big tits or wide hips doesn't make you any less of a woman. And for the record, you are 24 years-old. You were a teenager like yesterday! You're still figuring out who you are and most girls don't even know who they are or start to really feel like a "woman" until their late 20's anyway. Relax!
He was so convincing. Even though he doesn't have a vagina and didn't grow up with sisters and has virtually no experience in this department whatsoever, I trusted him. He made me realize that my size had nothing to do with how I truly felt. The truth is - I felt this way because of what I was feeling in my heart, or my head... or wherever the hell feelings come from!
There are two things I learned yesterday: The first thing is that I am being way too hard on myself. I think a contributing factor to my feelings are the women I surround myself with. The truth of the matter is; I need to find some (girl) friends that are my age! Girls that are still living somewhat care-free and aren't so focused on careers and marriage and babies and dieting. I want to care about those things too, but not right now. I really want to enjoy my youth while I have it. I want to be able to act like a 24 year-old without being critisized for it. Maybe I am not ready to become "a woman" yet and that is the inner struggle I am facing right now. Maybe I need to calm the fuck down and enjoy this stage I am at.
The second thing I learned yesterday was that my boyfriend truly is my best friend. As cliche and annoying as that sounds, (trust me I know how stupid and snow-flakey it sounds and I want to punch myself) it really is true. I can tell him anything and he is always 100% supportive of me and offers his advice and acceptance. Listening to him reassure me and tell me how beautiful I am in such a genuine way really proved to me that he is one of the greatest people in my life right now. Hmmm... Perhaps this is my first step to figuring out who I am and what I want - Finding a partner who compliments my weaknesses with his strengths... I am on the right track :)
Thanks for the vent-sesh Weebly!

Fun facts you probably never would have (cared about) guessed about me...
- I have never personally bought myself a pair of designer jeans, a designer handbag or anything from Lululemon
- I highlight my hair once a year and get a cut every 8 weeks
- I have been the same weight since I was 16 years-old
- I moved out when I was 16 years-old
- I LOVE fishing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, shoveling snow and using a snow-blower
- I can't relate to 86% of the female population and can't stand most women
- My first job was at Pizza Hut when I was 15. After that I worked at a gas station/bottle depot, marina and as a landscaper
- I went to 3 different high schools
- I had a fake ID when I was 16 and used it 3 times a week when I was living in Muskoka, most of my friends were 19 at the time.
- I've done more crazy/scanadalous things between the ages of 17-20 than most people will do in their lifetime. I regret none of those things :)
- My biggest fear in life is becoming old, fat and boring.
- I have a lazy eye that I've learned to train. I've been prescribed glasses since the age of 2
- I dream of becoming a lawyer but fear I'm too dumb to actually do it, and that no one would take me seriously
- The contents of my bathroom is probably worth more than the contents of my walk-in closet
- Sometimes I wish I could be "fat" and "ugly" to see how differently I would be treated

- I would rather live in the countryside or on the lake than live in a city
- I can eat an entire package of bacon in one sitting and feel perfectly fine
- I hate Vancouver
- Sometimes I question where my life has taken me and if the choices I've made were the right ones
What I am aiming for in terms of fitness this year....
So, my entire life I have been this super thin woman with a crazy metabolism who people always assumed didn't eat (mean assholes). Last year I started doing Tone It Up's(www.toneitup.com) workouts and following their eating regimes. I did my first 10km run and was in the best shape of my life! Or so I thought...
Because of my insane metabolism, (literally it is faster than a fucking R8) the Tone It Up diet part of my routine didn't make sense for my body type. It was more geared towards bigger gals who wanted to lose weight. I am the polar opposite of that. So, I was working out a lot and eating less, mind you I was eating really healthy things - it just wasn't enough for my body to gain that extra muscle mass I wanted and needed. So, instead of getting curvier and more lean, I ended up thinner but toned. Which is not a good look for me.
I am almost 5'9 with freakishly long, lean limbs (my arm span is ridiculous) and a long torso. I have practically zero curve in my body except for my (only) best feature... my "bubble butt". Other than that I don't really have any hip or back definition and my legs are really skinny. Picture a 12 year-old boy (in a Sandusky kind of way) with a nice ass and that's me.
Well, I've learned from my mistakes and am going to start doing things the right way in order to look more like hottie Candice right there ^^ ! To me she has the perfect body. She's tall, curvy and has muscle mass. I WANT THAT DAMNIT!
I'm giving myself two months to resemble her. Let's see what happens.....

An update on my 2012 goals...
So, I know we are only just a microscopic spec (that's a word dammit) into 2012 but so far I have had some sort of fish EVERY day since December 28th. And tonight I will have some more! To be honest, I am really proud of myself for taking this shit way more seriously than I thought I would. I'm on my way to younger, more Asian looking skin. Ooops, I mean, more radiantly wrinkle-free looking skin. I mean seriously, If I really want to have a timeless look I need to eat like people who look 18 for the majority of their lives - Asians. Very little red meat, lots of fish, veggies. Avoiding processed foods and super sugary snacks is the way to do it. I'll prove it to you :)
While I haven't donated blood yet - I plan on it. I am waiting until our firm does it collectively. The incentives to donate are ridiculous at this joint and I want my first time to be with someone I know... (Not like when I lost my V-card. Just kidding!) I think another blood drive should be coming up in about 54 days.
I've been working on being nicer to people, though, some would argue that I am one of the nicest people on the planet :) (obvi) There are certain people I should be nicer too and I am working on that. They just make it SO damn hard sometimes!!!!!
I am trying to not take life so seriously. I mean yeah, life is some serious shit but my first world problems are incomparible to some of the horrible things that happen to other people on this planet. And realizing that what I have in my life is pretty damn good will make me appreciate it more. I think too often we focus on what we want and don't have.. We forget to marvel over all of the great things we do have in our lives. Anyways, just sayin'.
This is a blog update so that part of my goal list is being put into action ;)
I am definitely working on establishing relationships with people who compliment my life. Moving a bunch of times and then eventually across the country hasn't necessarily changed me, but it has really helped me grow in a positive way and on so many levels. So naturally, I want to be around people I can relate to who have a positive impact on me and make me happy. Weeding out the judgemental, stereotypical "friends" who haven't really grown up (or grown) and don't fit into my life anymore has been challenging... wait, honestly I haven't really had to weed at all what am I saying!?... The people who no longer felt like they belong in my life did the work for me. I can honestly say that I feel no better or worse about those who have left. That's a sign I think. When a long time friend removes themself from your life and you aren't really choked up about it, That's a safe bet that it was a long time coming.
So if you're reading this old friend(s)... Thank you for recognizing that we no longer have a complimenting friendship. I am sorry that we couldn't remain friends but this is definitely for the best - So long!
That's it. Wow, so much to say and only 3 days into the new year... Annoying much?

THAT SHIT CRAY.
My "Resolutions" for 2012.
We all like to make this magical list in which we hope to follow once a new year arrives. A list of things we vow to change about ourselves to improve our quality of life. Usually, (myself included) this list lasts for about a month and then the old ways come back to us.
I'm going to say the most popular resolutions people make are as follows:
Lose weight
Eat healthier
Quit Smoking
Join a Gym
Get a Better Job
Then 5 or 6 times throughout the year, they again vow to do those things even though they have already made it their "resolution" to do so. IMO: The whole New Year's Resolution thing is just something people use to feel good about themselves for a week or so when in reality it is a silly cycle that no one ever seems to follow through with for more than a month. It's the same shit every year too.... Everyone makes the same list over and over again, year after year; BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DO IT THE YEAR BEFORE!
This year my list is different. I will not resolute to this bullshit that's for sure! Here are my goals for 2012:
1. Incorporate fish into my diet every day for the month of January and then continue to maintain that but on a less aggressive note
2. Finish school before 2013 OR EARLY 2013. And I mean EARLY 2013!
3. Be kinder to people and not take things so seriously. (I'm a bit of a snappy mcsnappington/know-it-all/princess) I am working on it bitch. Ooops! :/
4. Start making vlogs and update my blog more often
5. Make new friends who fit into my life in a positive way and let go of friends who are judgemental and stuck in the past.
6. Donate blood
There you have it. A list of things I hope to accomplish by the end of 2012. LET'S DO THIS SHIT!

Accept what you can't change. Change what you can't accept.
I think that one of my biggest pet peeves are people who are miserable and bitch about something constantly but do nothing to help their situation. WHAT THE FUCK!? It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever and in some cases makes me really upset and angry. If you are unhappy with certain aspects of your life then change them! No one is going to do it for you, it isn't going to be easy, but if you sit around waiting for someone to do it for you - you will die. Literally, unless by some miracle of god you win the lottery and can buy your happiness, you will wait so long for something to magically change for you then you will eventually DIE.
If you're a fat ass who hates your body - STOP EATING OUT EVERY FUCKING DAY AND EXERCISE.
If you've hated your job for over 2 consecutive years - QUIT YOUR FUCKING JOB AND GET A NEW ONE OR GO TO SCHOOL.
If your boyfriend treats you like shit and generally sucks at life - DUMP HIS STUPID LOSER ASS AND MOVE ON.
If you have an alcohol or drug problem - GO TO FUCKING REHAB BEFORE YOU DIE.
Am I the only one who understands this shit? Is it fucking rocket science? Is it possible that people just aren't born with the proper brain receptors that let them know when the fuck they need to get out of a shitty situation. I hear shit like this all the time from friends, family and co-workers. My solution is always the same:
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Shut the fuck up with your bullshit and make a change.
Honestly, if you're reading this shit right now and are thinking about something you really want to change in your life but don't know how to do it, ask me. I am not even fucking kidding! E-mail me or contact me on Facebook or Twitter and ask me for help or advice. I'm so sure that there is a solution to your problem that I gaurantee you I will find you an answer.
Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
Sincerely,
a person who made a change

If you want to buy me a gift this year, please buy me a book! Even though I can't read. KthanksBye!
Deck the halls with bows of holly fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la!
Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for ALL year! (Well, aside from my annual trip home, the VS fashion show, my birthday and Christmas day) I like a lot of shit okay!?
We are going to pick out a Jewmas tree and decorate the house for Jewmas! I CANNOT wait. I went to Sears the other night and picked out my very first full set of beautiful, matching Christmas tree decor. I know that eventually once little ones come along in our lives and they start making their own decorations, shit is going to start looking tacky and mismatching. So before that happens we are going to have a beautifully matched and festive tree for all to be envious of. And believe me, you will be envious.
I've decided that this year I want a small 3ft-4ft tree to put on top of the fireplace. We don't really have another spot to put it that I would want it in, and I saw the most gorgeous idea in a home design magazine that I am stealing. Muahahaha!
Anyways, tomorrow will be so wonderful I can't contain my excitement! I'm going to listen to the Michael Buble Christmas album, bake some apple dumplings, of course decorate, drink wine and prepare a glorious dinner. The only thing that would make the day any better would be a surprise snow fall :)
Here's to lazy weekends and happy holidays. And to great ideas worth sharing....

Our 1st Annual Jewmas dinner starting lineup:
Turkey (duh)
Giblet Gravy
Corn Bread Stuffing
Peach & Tomato Bruschetta
Cranberry Salad
Bacon & Cream Scalloped Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole
The Lady's Cheesy Mac
Parmesan Smashed Potatoes
Spinach Salad w/ Warm Bacon Dressing
90% of the recipes are from my FAVE home-style cooking queen Paula Deen http://www.pauladeen.com/recipes/ and from Chrissy Teigen (a swimsuit model who eats more food than a swimsuit model should, yet still has a bangin' body - Bitch) http://sodelushious.com/
We were going to celebrate "Christmakuh" but I've been corrected by someone that "Christmakuh" is some stupid fucking thing that they invented on The O.C and that "Jewmas" is much more appropriate. So Jewmas it is :)
I have a feeling no one will come to our dinner but that's fine with me! We'll have enough leftovers to eat like kings for the next week. Suckas!

The "I somewhat agree with you but have nothing witty to say, nor do I give a shit enough to reply over and over again, but I don't want to hurt your feelings." Button
AKA: What the "Like" button on Facebook means.
I use that button a lot for quirky status updates, awesome photos and good burns. But I often find myself using that button just to be polite or to end an otherwise novel of replies on someone's wall. Facebook is not MSN Messenger or ICQ or whatever the fuck other chat service you frequent, and just in case you forgot: EVERYONE can see that shit! Exchange phone numbers and text for god sakes. OR do the UNTHINKABLE... dun dun dun: CALL THE PERSON like a human being would do in the 90's!
I find that when you're exchanging a few words with a friend on Facebook and they just keep going and going... Just click the "Like" button under their last response :)
They will feel so honoured that you cared enough to push that little thumbs up that they'll shut the hell up! Works like a charm every time. Plus, (this is a total shocker) I think people get off on how many "Like" pushes they can obtain in a day. Almost to the point of where it becomes a contest to see who can get the most "Likes".
If social media has taught me anything, it's that high school really never ends!

An open letter to the ass clown who couldn't avoid that puddle this morning:
Dear Asshole,
I was having a great morning today. I woke up feeling refreshed, had time to eat breakfast, my hair looked cute, I have a great outfit on, everything was running smoothly all morning... Then you came along.
It was a wet, snowy/rainy cold morning. You, in your white BMW X5 came speeding down Willingdon clearly not giving a shit about anyone but yourself. I saw a lot of other cars avoid those large river-size puddles ahead of me and thought "THANK GOD my faith in humainty still remains!". Still I stayed as far away from the road as the sidewalk would let me (I was pushing a stroller aftterall) Then all of a sudden, I feel like one of those idiots who willingly stands on the bridge at the water log ride at Canada's Wonderland - only instead of (slightly) clean, warm water on a hot summer's day splashing me with refreshment; freezing cold and dirty slush water pooled in a pot hole on the road hits my entire body. Nice one ass clown! You must have not noticed that lake you rushed through and so kindly drenched me with... Or the two year-old child I was with. What the fuck were you doing? Texting? Putting lipstick on? Whacking off? You fucktard.
Not only did you get me completely soaking wet with disgusting street water, you also managed to soak the entire contents of the stroller I was pushing! Contents included: A TWO YEAR-OLD CHILD, diaper bag, boxes that needed to be wrapped for the Sick Kids Hospital - Festival of Trees, and some extra clothes that needed to be brought into daycare today.
Congratulations! You're a bag of dicks.
I was having a great morning today. I woke up feeling refreshed, had time to eat breakfast, my hair looked cute, I have a great outfit on, everything was running smoothly all morning... Then you came along.
It was a wet, snowy/rainy cold morning. You, in your white BMW X5 came speeding down Willingdon clearly not giving a shit about anyone but yourself.

Christmakuh is in 40 days!
The majority of my friends and family know that I am completely obsessed with Christmas. From the decorations to the cookies to the shopping to the cheesy Christmas songs - I love it all!
Growing up, my family has always had huge dinners and gatherings every year at my grandparents' house in Montreal (dads' side) and also at my grandparents' house in Toronto (moms' side). I also always remember getting everything I wanted plus more! Which is pretty admirable considering my parents were both blue-collar class when I was growing up. Needless to say Christmas is a big fucking deal where I come from.
I'd say the last 4 Christmases have been less than mediocre. Starting from when I was 20 and moved to Toronto for college. I spent that Christmas 100% alone (human wise) in my apartment with my dog Bella, and let me just say thank god for Bella. [Love you Belle <3] Oh, and no Christmas tree.
The Christmas after that was my first year in Vancouver! Let's just say that things were a little hectic with Tony's family and it wasn't that enjoyable. Lots of fighting and selfishness - To be honest, it didn't even feel like Christmas to me. At least there was a Christmas tree included that time.
Then there was the Christmas after that... Oh, we actually went back East to see my family that time - that was actually pretty fun! The only down-side to that trip was that my then "best friend" totally ditched me the only day we had planned to hang out because she was hung over. Oh well, I really enjoyed keeping the Christmas present she was going to get ;)
Last Christmas was right up there with spending Christmas 100% alone in terms of shitty Christmases past. My boyfriend and I spent Christmas Eve in a hotel restaurant eating a fixed menu turkey dinner to avoid an inevitable family blowout. FUN! (-_-) No Christmas tree that year either.
Well, I say fuck all Christmases past! I will never let a shitty Christmas ruin my love for the most wonderful time of the year! This Christmas in our home, we are celebrating CHRISTMAKUH. Why are you celebrating Christmas and Hannukah and copying the O.C you may ask?! Because I do have some Jewish in me every few days ;) ba-dum-bum-BUM! AND because we can do whatever the shit we want, it's our house!
We've already made plans to go out and get a real Christmas tree together and spend the day listening to Christmas music, eating snacks and drinking eggnog, watching home movies and of course decorating the tree! I am also proud to announce that I am 70% done Christmas shopping and it isn't even December yet!
Overall December has many wonderful things to look forward to:
Christmakuh 2011 will be epic!
