John's Birthday Present

So recently, it was my Johnnycakes birthday.

Now let me tell you, my John is impossible to shop for...

he doesn't tell you anything he wants!

So, I had to get creative...along with some small gifts, I also got him this:

Unfortunately, we wanted to bring the cake around to show our families and it ended up breaking. This was his expression afterwards (let's just say he was NOT in a good mood):

Look at poor R2D2 and his slit right in the middle :(.

Hope everyones days are great!!!!!!

My Lovely Weekend

My weekend was one of the loveliest I've had in a long time.
I was still recovering from my Tonsil Surgery  so obviously I had to take it easy.
And I did, but somehow still managed to have fun. Which was much needed, because let me tell you, having to sit in bed all day for a week is NOT fun. Not at all. It's actually really depressing. So you can imagine how happy I was to actually go out and do some things this weekend. I even got to eat!

Friday during the day I made a mall trip with some close friends and I bought a few new cute things for barely any money. It felt so good to prepare for Summer through fashion! I'm wearing one of my outfits today and hopefully I'll remember to take a picture tonight so I can show you all! Friday night I went to see the movie, Your Highness (hilarious) with some friends. It was supposed to be a triple date but  we ended up seeing a few people we knew there and turned into a group outing. After that me and my Man had a cozy night! Mmm so warm! :)

Saturday, John asked me if I wanted to help set up for this 80's night event for one of his Promotion's for work and of course I said yes! We basically just had to put up banner tape sponsoring our radio station (we work at the same place...just not in the same department) but it was a lot of fun! After that, we went to Boston Pizza and had pizza, wings and beer. And considering it had been so long since I could eat REAL food, I definitely took advantage of this. So delicious! After that we proceeded to have a few more drinks while watching Hockey. It was such a nice night. We stayed up for so long just talking and sharing deep and intimate thoughts (one of which I'll share with you tomorrow).

Sunday we sort of lazed around the house and didn't do much of anything. Me and John saw a movie during the day (The Source Code...highly recommend) and then I went and spent some time with my Mother. Then sort of late at night, I got back together with the boyfriend and we watched Scream and had some junk food. It was just a really relaxing day (you know, with all of the Golf Ball sized hail our city got that night. So insane!)

Stay tuned tomorrow for one of the most inspiring thoughts a guy has ever shared with me.
For all you ladies who may be insecure with your bodies, you do NOT want to miss this.

Tuesday: Around the Globe No More

I'm canning this Tuesday segment!

Let's get serious... I'm not interested in news! I was making this weekly post so I could try and keep up...but I just have no interest whatsoever.

So Tuesdays are now my FREE DAY.

I will write on this day about whatever I want!

So there! :)

In the meantime, enjoy this cute picture of me and my duck boyfriend:

VALENTINES DAY... VERY VERY LATE IM SORRY

 So this Valentine's Day was definitely one to remember. My Babycakes made me a delicious dinner of Filet Mignon, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, BBQ'd Veggies along with Caeser Salad (he made the dressing himself).
He dressed up the evening with nice clothes, a bottle of wine, candles around the house and flowers. It really was the best Valentine's Day ever :)

LOOK: He even did dishes :D Such a sweetie!

I couldn't have done it without you.

Let's just say from February to September... I didn't know who I was.

I lost myself. I never thought I'd find myself again. It was terrible.

I would never wish those dark feelings upon anybody because at the time, it felt like I'd never feel happiness again. I never thought I'd get any better.

But you know what? I did. And I couldn't have made it to where I am now without my friends, my new found love, a supportive family, and of course delicious food! :)

Isn't It Funny?

...the way life works out? The thoughts you had a long time ago but weren't able to act on them somehow managed to form into something amazing?

I really am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason. I like it that way.

Wow, am I on a feel good high, or what? I can't think of a single bad thing in my life right now. It's such a great feeling.

Thanks For Making This Winter Bearable

Dear Anyone Who's Listening,

I'm not a big fan of the crisp winter air,
but it's not so bad when you have someone to keep you warm.

Candy Cane Hot Chocolate and Ginger Bread Latte's help a little too.

Love,
Me.

9 PM.

With new relationships come very late bed-times.

Tonight, I am going to clear my skin AND my head by setting a bed time of 9 PM.

I need to get some serious sleep.

Out With The Old, In With The New. Cheers to FRESH new beginnings.

I love my blog.

I really do.

However, I'm not going to explain every single detail of my life on here. For the sake of those involved in my life and for the sake of myself.

I could sit here and type away about some not so fun experiences that I've recently encountered but that would be counter-active, now wouldn't it?

My blog is supposed to be a positive place, for positive thoughts.

Negativity doesn't have a spot in my life right now. Something I really like about myself is that I can take a negative situation and put a positive spin on it. I think that is what I'm known for...at least that's what people tell me. So ditch the negative aspects of your life and focus on the positives. And that goes for everything.

And just know that mistakes will always happen no matter what. We are all human. People get sad and people get angry, etc, etc. But why complain? I don't really see the point in sitting here saying what I wish could've happened or talking about regret when there is so much good in my life right now.

And forgiveness and understanding is a major part of anybodys happiness.

I've finally managed to open myself up again. I'm not going into details because I don't need everybody to know all the personal aspects of my life. It'll just jinx it. But just know that I've finally managed to find happiness again when I thought that was impossible.

It feels nice. I feel good.

So I say, out with the old, in with the new. And I'm going to embrace this new-found treasure I've managed to discover.

Cheers to new beginnings.

xoxo.
