5 for Five!

It's time to get back in the groove. We are back from holidays and January is now almost over... I miss reading my blogs with my breakfast, posting my blogs, and just having a better daily habits aside from those 'blog related' things.

Anyways, one of these things is doing my 5 for Five for the week.

1. Write my RealPenPal.
2. Survive closing my store and starting class.
3. Stay on top of my homework.
4. Walk Dogs @ least once.
5. Clean Bathroom, or at least get Eric to do it.

Peace Out!

B&W Sunday

Black & White Sunday is coming early this weekend. I already sneak peaked some pics yesterday on Instagram. After a week at the boarders, our dear puppies were in a desperate need of bath time. Needless to say, nobody was impressed.

Cuba Sneak Peak

Here's a sneak peak at Cuba. 

Because though I'm home, life is stressful ATM, too busy for blogging.

I'm at home and I'm sick. 

That's right, like any good traveller, I'm suffering a bout of travellers diareha

I'm back at work, and dreading it.

My store closes Monday, we pack up and close our doors 'forever'

It's hectic. Especially because I'm 'da-boss'

Puppy is sick. 

I think. He's trembling.

Vet said everything came back good. 

So, we ait and see, worried little guy might have white shaker dog syndrome :( 

I'm Back!

After an 11 hour flight, with a detour through Calgary and a 12 hour car ride from the airport, I am safely back at home with my puppy dogs, my internet, and my computer!

For the past week my family and I have spent 7 wonderful days in Cuba.

More on that later, just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive. I hope to get some posts out soon! I missed you blogging world! Can't wait to start my penpal either!

Black & White Sunday

Last night my Sorority girls came over. 

Miss. Daisy was right at home.

She was the centre of attention - almost the whole night.

sorry, crappy photo on instagram.

A Recent Read - Mindy Kaling

via

Mindy Kaling. Star of "The Mindy Project." And an actor who I find obnoxious. Yet, I can't help but love her. For some reason, her book "Is Everyone Hanging out Without Me?" came up on the television the other day, and because I have an hour lunch, I stopped by the mall book store and after much searching finally found it and brought it home. 

I'm not a book reviewer. But I actually enjoyed this book.

I much enjoy these types of book.

It was a fun quick read! I laughed. I smiled. I might have even cried.

I love books that bring out emotions.

I need to read more books. 

Healing my Immune System

It's that time of the year --- I'm sick! 

The Christmas Stress. The Work Stress (my store is closing). 

Then Once Boxing Day Came my immune system just CRASHED.

It's now been 6 days since the sickness began.

Today I finally have energy, but still feel like crap. 

Why can't it just go away. I've done everything I should.

I've spent my days resting

a.k.a lying on the couch watching Gossip Girl from Season 1

 I've loaded up on the appropriate medications. 

I even tried a neti pot to go along with the advil head and cold. 

I've followed the 'sick diet'

LOTS OF CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Oranges, Those weird vitamin C packets to mix wth water

sick tea (cold 911 and Bravissmo from David's tea) mixed with REAL honey. 

Cups of hot water, lemon, and honey

I even tried apple cider vinegar. 

Ginger ale. 

For some reason, my sick diet also includes those peak freen cookies with the jam (as a result of a mix up once upon a time having eric bringing me those instead of saltines)

I have developed a 'sick station'

Complete with a humidifier, kleenex box, menthol spray, drugs, black cherry halls, never ending glasses of water, blankets, pillows, and puppy dogs

And that's how it goes.

I have to work tomorrow. I hope I wake up feeling better. 

This virus can go away now, please

Oh, and I'm 98% sure that I have NOT mentioned this yet, but.... 

in 12 days ERIC AND I WILL BE IN CUBA

That's right, my family with be spending Christmas in Cuba in January.

I'm so stoked for sunshine and pina coladas.

I'm going to miss my puppy dogs. 

2013 Goals

The New Year is a great reason to sit down and consider some resolutions, goals and ambitions for the upcoming year. With this also being the start of my school year since last January semester, and the end of my short lived retail career as a store manager, let's kick start the year right. 

1. Look & Feel Great About Myself

I wanted to leave this ambigous as it needs to encompass a few things.
a) I'd love to fit into my Silver jeans

b) I want to be under 190 pounds.

c) I want to feel sexy.

d) I want to feel beautiful naked. 

2. Get Closer to my Future

This sounds a little weird. But to keep it short... 

a) Work Hard & Get closer to finishing school.

b) Find an internship. 

3. Take back my Vulva

Keep my vulvodynia under control. Be proactive about my treatment.

a) Go to physiotherapy and do my homework.

b) seek out a psychologist. 

c) Take care of my body and my mind.
