New blog...

I haven't been blogging much cause I'm been uninspired and bored I guess. I've also been very stressed lately and really struggling with handling that in a healthy way.

However...

I got inspired the other day.

While in a funk I was watching a Real World: San Diego marathon on my pvr, and got inspired by Nate on there making a website about suicide awareness and it pumped me up. I decided to make a site about all the different causes/charities/passions that fire me up. I have so many passions and I feel like I haven't been doing my part as the kid in my family that's gonna change the world. That's how my mom describes me out of the four of us :) but I've been lazy and not doing anything with human or animal rights. So I've been working on that for the past four or five days probably. I've spent hours already. Most nights I've been up until 3am working on it, and then getting up at 6 or 7 for work the following mornings, and working on it when I can during the day, and all night again. I won't be publishing it til I'm completely happy with all the info but for anyone interested...

It'll have info, links, how I got into each thing, where you can donate, where you can volunteer, where you can get help, how you can spread awareness, petitions, etc. It will be a collection of issues I feel are important and it's my attempt to bring awareness to each one, help one person, and help change the world together, a little at a time.

Topics that I'm covering (these aren't the only important things out there, they're just near and dear to me so I'm going to try to do my part):

- human rights - equality, accessibility
- disabilities, diseases (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc), disorders (including mental health, bipolar disorder, etc)
- animal rights - animal testing, animals for entertainment, veganism, vegetarianism, furs/skins)
- self-injury/suicide
- environment/going green
- lgbt
- individualism/body modifications - not being judged

Anyone, off to work on that while watching cupcake wars :) Please let me know if there's any important cause that you think I should include, if you like this idea, and if you want the link when it's up :)

Have a great night!

Excited...

I'm so lucky.

I'm very happy right now.

I have amazing friends, I have the best boyfriend in the entire world, I have a great family, and I have several jobs that I love.

I'm very excited to see RR and AW next month.

I'm sooooooo stoked for halloween to be a police car/police officer/bad guy with Ryan.

I'm excited that I get to hang out with A tomorrow after he's done work.

I'm excited to go out for date night with A this weekend even though he doesn't know we are. :)

I'm excited about the xmas gifts I'm making for people for xmas this year.

I'm excited about making zombie cupcakes for our halloween party in two weeks.

I turn green!

One more day until I go to my cottage :)

Yay me!!

I'm very excited to be going for the first time this year, probably the last time this year as well. A has obviously never been so I'm happy he's coming, and TB is coming for the second time which I'm glad about. My cottage is my favourite place to relax at and I love it so I'm looking forward to spending time with A, TB, and Boog there. Boog loves it there too so he's super excited to go. He's also excited that it's A's first time in our boat. He helps Fluff drive the boat so he's already told me he'll drive A to the cottage for his first trip. LoL. What a kid. I have to get some last minute stuff tomorrow and pick up TB and A so I'm going to take the girls with me because they both want to see TB's apartment really bad, and they both want to see A's sister's horses. So busy day tomorrow getting stuff, picking my boys up, dropping the girls off when I'm done work, and heading home to pack and help my mother finish getting everything together and in the van. We're stopping in Belleville to pick up some headbands for Turtle from AW and we have to exchange money and Avon. A drug deal of sorts without the drug part.

Saw AW and RR last weekend. :) Had a great time there. RR and JR showed me pictures of their first house that they just purchased. I'm so excited for them and so jealous at the same time. I want my own house so so bad. My time will come. Just gotta keep saving and hope my car doesn't break too badly and not spend money, and try to earn more money :)

Anywho, back to doing extra work around here for the girls' mama. I've been trying to help her with more than day to day tidying that comes with being a nanny. I've moved into attacking a GIANT, and I meant GINORMOUS prickle weed thing in the back yard. I mean I pulled it out pretty easily, since I'm practically the Hulk. By easily of course I mean I was sweating to death and pricking my fingers through the gloves and swearing and cutting the weed that was seriously about 7 feet tall into tiny pieces. Finally I got to the base of it and tried to yank it out and it took me a full 5 minutes just for that. I tried to dig it out with a shovel but it was half under her deck so I had to pull it back and forth and do a little dance and eventually got it out. HUGE roots of course. Bastard weed! But anyway, got that done, been cleaning the basement, taking the leaf bag that got left out in the rain a billion times and fell apart and putting that into a new leaf bag which was gross due to a gazillion bugs. Got that into the shed so it doesn't happen again. Started putting renovation garbage into a couple bins for the dump. Cleaned the windows, dusted a bunch, vacuumed, etc. So I've been slightly busy trying to help get the house ready to sell!

So now I must get back to that. I brough A's seasons of the Buffy spinoff Angel to watch on this trusty laptop to watch while I fold a bunch of laundry and clean the laundry room and dungeon that I sleep in here :)

Have a lovely afternoon my pretties! :)

From the land of dryer-lint and dust bunnies,

I just finished watching Soul Surfer.

Good grief.

I cry at everything, whether it's a book, or a tv show, or a movie. If people tell me to stop watching or reading, I say no because it means I'm invested and enjoying it. I'll cry if it's sad or happy. I'm brutal!

So naturally, me watching Soul Surfer was guaranteed to involve tears. When I told A. I was watching it, he responded with "you would watch that" which is either a dig at me loving movies I know in advance are going to make me cry, or a dig at me watching "girly" movies. Whatever, he watched cartoons so pfft! :)

I really, really enjoyed Soul Surfer. I did cry quite a bit, and it definitely had sad parts, but it was SO inspiring. I really love movies that make me think about life, and what's important. There's nothing like watching a girl lose her arm, and still follow her dream to make you feel like a lazy ass! :)

So I'm jumping into gear tonight and getting shit done quicker at work tonight and tomorrow, and I've been writing a bit, and I'm going to work out soon and try to make a routine for what I'm going to do for my fitness plan. I've also been keeping up with twitter the past two days :) GO ME!

Hope you all have a fantastic night. I'll be watching Teen Mom while getting things done :) Which I know a couple of you will have already done tonight :) off to check my phone for a million twitter texts....

I do love me some gay bar b-day festivities!

I just noticed my 3 Best Friends post and got ticked.
Update: that week I saw neither AW nor RR. Stupid car would be the culprit behind that. I am supposed to see them this coming Friday though. Fingers crossed. Saw TB a few times in the past two weeks. His birthday party this past Friday was beyond awesome! Two words: DRAG SHOW!

A-MAZ-ING.

Hugs & Kisses, Guys & Glitter

So happy together...

I've started writing recently about things that make me happy, and how I want to spend more time doing those things, spending time with those people, and exploring what other things in life make me happy. I've also realized that I've been happier in the last few months and want to continue on with that. I've been working on it for the past week or so. It's getting fairly long and in-depth and I very much enjoy writing about the things that make me happy. It makes me appreciate the things I love about my life. It reminds me of the journal I bought that goes along with the book The Secret. Which by the way, is a good book that I like and try to practice but I'm terrible with things like that. I need to work on that more. So you should go look up that book. I believe it's a documentary or something too... so go now... find our what it's about!

So I was just sitting here thinking I wanted to write some more on that and realized I should write some of that on my blog. So I might copy and paste some of it, or start writing it here instead of just in a document on my computer. I'm not sure yet what I'll do about that.

Also I started reading a new blog that my mom really likes. It's a whole website by this mom that has recipes and photography and a blog and other crap on it. I finally just went on it and she had tips for blogging that said blog everyday, even if only a little. I'm going to try to work on that!!

That's it for now, kids.

Muah!

3 Best Friends in 1 Week = Happy Tee

I'm so excited for the coming week :)

I'm doing my 48 hour stretch of work right now and I finish tomorrow at 1:30pm. After that I'm going home so Fluff can fix my brakes on Norton. Then I'm going to drive to Bellville to hang out with AW and........... RR!!!!!! Yay! I'm so stoked to hang out with my besties!

AW and I are gonna have dinner with RR in Trenton, then me and her are gonna hang out Sunday too. Sunday when I leave I'm going to A's place to bring his mama a coffee and hang out there :) Then Monday A and I will hang out. Tuesday I have to work an extra day shift. Then.......

Wednesday!! Wednesday I get to see TB. I saw him the other day cause he msged me at 10:30pm and said we needed to hang out asap cause he needed to talk so I drove to pick him up and we spent two hours in Tim Horton's talking boys, our lives lately, his birthday, etc. So... his birthday. He turns 23 in a couple weeks. We're having a toga party so we're gonna go shopping to get fabric and belts and accessories, etc. I'm so excited to spend a day shopping with him. :D

So I get to see all three of my best friends in one week which never happens anymore :) It makes me sad that it's such a rare thing to hang out with any of them, let alone all three in a few days. But I'm very, very excited!!

Now on to doing Avon work :)

Happy Friday!
