Ma Belle Evangeline

This song makes me cry. If you are unfamiliar with Disney's The Princess and The Frog, you MUST get your hands on it. Fantastic Jazz soundtrack, hilariously entertaining characters, amusing writing, and a wicked Voodoo man.

In other news, Darla has discovered a gopher hole beneath our deck and goes under to growl and bark relentlessly at the beast within. She's currently having a bath because, well, she gets FILTHY under there. Bath time for Darla:

Also, 2 days until summer vacation. 2 months of beach. Eat your hearts out, readers. Both of you.

Rock of Ages and other various randomnesses

So, Rock of Ages was... amazing. I adore Yvan, I adore Tristan, and seeing them rock their faces off yet again in a new and exciting musical set to 80's hair band rock and roll was epic. If you get the chance to go... GO!!! I plan on seeing it many times. I bought this shirt there:

So yeah, those are my boobies. Hooray!

I got my puppy, and she's adorable and beautiful and I love her to pieces. Best mother's day since my first one, really.

I have officially lost 10lbs now since quitting coffee/sugar/cream/wheat. Once I'm actively walking with Darla and not just the typical new puppy meander and sniff EVERYTHING in my path, I hope to shed some more of the weight and an inch or two off my hips and tummy.

Oh, and I STILL want this diamond ring... like... for my 6th anniversary, maybe? Pretty pls with diamonds on top?

Thank you, that is all :) ♥

I like Bees!

So, I sorta forgot about the Monkey Banana for a while... so sue me.

I have bangs, better than 20/20 vision, and I get my dog in 4 days.

I am currently eating a guacamole burger.

Lost is almost over and THAT is devastating news, lemme tell ya. I love Jack. I want to marry him. I mean, srsly. Look at the yum!

Sigh... I miss Desmond and Alpert, too... they had best be in the next episode.

I am seeing Rock of Ages in Toronto tonight... review to follow.

New Eyes

So, I'm on day 4 post op.. I have had no pain, no discomfort, nothing... I have no altered night vision or halos... I just have 20/20 vision. It's crazy!

Tomorrow I go for a hair cut, and will be getting bangs like these

I know... you're jealous.

Earth Day

She is our Mother. She is our Life. Honour her. Protect her.

Too many people have forgotten or ignored the fact that we were born out of this Earth. She bore us in her womb. She nursed us with her flowing rivers. She feeds us with her bounty. This Earth is the only one we have. Our Mother. Tread softly on her heart. ♥

Celebrate Earth Day /|\ Blessed be our Earth.

I'm officially 1 week clean!

Coffee is officially no longer an issue for me! In 1 week I suffered the migraines, the shakes, and then, the horrible issue of what coffee does to one's intestines.

So, since I quit coffee (and consequently, sugar) as well as removing wheat products from my diet, I have lost nearly 7lbs.

Wait... 7lbs in a week? I'm fairly certain that most of this was water retention, and that I won't be losing a pound a day beyond this point.

But I've noticed a huge difference in how my clothes fit, and how my belly looks! Which was my original goal/intent with the sugar/wheat thing... get rid of my jellybelly. It's working!

It turns out that I don't miss wheat, and due to the whole Gluten-Free diet madness, it's really easy to find wheat-free grain products. Today I will be making spelt loaves. I had spelt flakes for breakfast, which... don't let my Irish ancestors hear this... is better than porridge!

Also, today is my birthday. No plans, no fanfare. We had a family celebration on sunday at my mom's. Matt got me the Wii! So... Wii Fit, here I come! More skinnies!

Also, new pics of Darla!

Happy Hump Day my friends!!!

Sooo....

I was getting no work done.

So I changed my desktop.... to this....

Still, no work is getting done.

Sigh.

Hello Beautiful.
