I am happy to report that Brady is doing so much better!!! He was happy and smiling and energetic this weekend. He showed me his transformers and wanted to play with me which is a major step up from him crying when he sees me. So i am so happy about his progress.
In other news....my nails are living in happy land...they look so nice and polished. I also have my new pretty ring. it is of course huge...but really i am all about the theory of 'go big or go home'!!!!
This week is packed for me...i have to try and stay on my exercise plan. Plus I have an essay to write that is due end of next week. I did pretty good on the last essay, way better than i expected....a successful essay dance was completed when i got the mark.

STERIN DAY
Sterin day has started and we don't have an agenda or anything but we will soon be off for breakfast grilled cheese! Then later we will do our nails!
I did boot camp last night, we played tag....i hate tag but it turns out that was the least worst part of the class....we did lots of upper body weights and today my arms feel like lead! But on the exercise front...it is nice to get back into a routine....i am actually feeling very positive about it. Tonight we are doing a yoga class and it has been awhile for me and yoga. I love yoga, it is my favourite form of exercise, all stretchy and balancey but if you don't do it routinely you lose your limberness. My limberness has been slowly fading so i have to get back on the yoga train. But if i stick to this rate....i am going to be ready for my two races in march and April.
In other news....I got my first essay back and i did much better than expected. Right now i am doing a great job on my essay dance. My next essay is due march 12...and the topics do not look fun at all. But one essay down, two to go!
Lastly, I have decided to compile a list of the nicknames i have acquired over the years....if you or someone you know has given me a nickname...please let me know it so i can blog a completed list of nick names.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Abs?
Okay, I made the random decision that i am going to get back in like super shape. Except, the shape i am now aiming for, I have never reached before. I am aiming for ABS!
Now, this being a random decision, I decided to mentally prepare and then go hard core in march. I asked Steph to train me because she like bossing people around and i know she will yell and bully me back into shape no matter how hard i want to reject her plans.
Now...Steph isn't letting me start in March.....i had to start the moment i told her. It also doesn't help that some how I am running two races in the next two months. My mom signed me up for the St. Patricks day race which I heard is a 'fun run'. But in when is running ever fun. I run but I hate every moment of it. Why can't all exercise be as relaxing and as fulfilling as yoga?
Anyways.....I acknowledge that cardio is an important part of the exercise regime and running is also important....when the zombie apocalypse comes I plan to be prepared. I am in stage one prep...running and toning my body. Stage two will be some sort of fighting classes. Stage three will be weaponry. Stage four finding a rag tag zombie fighting team. Stage five, team name and outfit planning.
Okay....totally just rambled off topic there. whoops.
What I wanted to tell you all about is my training. The second run I am running apparently has a very hilly race course.....so Steph has decided to include hill training into our regular training.......I officially hate hills. We walked down the hill and then turned to run up it with steph running beside me yelling 'run little tin, you are faster than me, why aren't you ahead of me....come on little tin, move your little legs'. I am sure we were a sight to see. I must be more out of shape than i realized because i am no longer faster than steph. Damn it is going to be a long road back. BOOO! Stupid eating my feelings and being too depressed to do anything other than sleep.
I am going for a blood test soon because steph thinks i may have a thyroid problem. And truthfully, I have been like crazy tired lately....i think i may an iron deficiency. But really i shouldn't self diagnose. The problem is I am a little...slightly terrified of needles!
A side note about my life.....Tomorrow at work, only me and one other co-worker will be here, so we are in charge....and declared it STERIN Day (our two names mashed together). We are going to wear jeans and have a dance party and do our nails and eat lots of fun foods....and work, i guess.

Back To Reality
So....after my nice relaxing weekend, I am now back at work. There were so many emails.
But that is beside the point. What is the real deal for me right now...I am tired of complaining and being grumpy about work. I was in the greatest mood, so happy from the weekend and day off but as soon as I sat at my desk, I felt surrounded by such a downer feeling. And you know what...I am sick of this negative feeling. I just want to be happy again, and that is on me. As much as I complain and blame work, it is my responsibility to make the change. So I will work my way through this next month trying very hard to not have a fatalistic view of work. There are only good things in my future.
I have decided that 2011 is the year for me. I will start working towards a job that makes me proud and happy.
I have also decided that I would like to fall in love in 2011.....having never been in love before; I think it would be nice. Although, I have never really understood the whole romance thing and I don't have the best track record with guys.....but maybe if I put positive vibes out there, something good will come of it

Good Morning
I woke up today at 11:38am. It was lovely, and then i watched a cheesey movie called Another Cinderella story. I don't know why but i just can't help but love cheesey movies.
Although the plan today is to enjoy a long shower while dancing to my ipod, then head out to the grocery store and buy some croissants, nutella, and strawberries....probably some other things...but that is the main goal of the grocery shopping trip.
Then i may swing by a Starbucks or second cup to enjoy some free wifi so i can download my new library books.
Then maybe watch a movie while knitting.
After, off to the gym with Amy.
Best part.....it's GLEE NIGHT....plus Rachel Berry throws a party. I remember high school house parties. Drinking and getting crazy. So much drama. It was always drama overload at our high school parties.
The gang is headed to Jess' tonight for glee, it will be a good night. But then BOOOO back to work tomorrow.
But it is time to get back into a schedule, work, gym school, socializing!
I have also been working on a journal post but i am not going to post it yet....it is a little too honest right now....i am going to work on it before i post it.

Baking in my Apartment
So as I sit here on this family day all excited about a pj day....I am reminded why I try to find things to do not in my apartment during sunny days. I have a south facing apartment and the sun comes in an bakes my apartment....what makes it worse is i don't have control over my heat so it just pumps out of those stupid radiators mocking me by adding more heat to this place. So today, i am sitting here with all my windows open completely and wearing very little...and i am still so hot. BOO! It is such a shame that one of my favourite things about this apartment, the great view i have of the toronto skyline also mocks me with the sun and heat. I am sitting here in my own personal sauna wishing that my weekend hadn't gone by so fast. I have been looking forward to this adventure for awhile and it was done so fast. But it was an awesome adventure and i think we can all agree that it will happen again hopefully soon.
So, what did i do? Well, me and Amy had the longest drive ever on friday night, but it was pretty exciting, first there was a teenage boy that was trying to get everyone to look at his green plastic penis...yup that is right he was hang out his window on the highway with a florecent green plastic penis. Then traffic got really bad so we decided to stop at Tim's for a traffic donut.....food always makes everything better, and i ate some good food this weekend.
When we made it to Alex and Matt's we had a listening party. Did you know that the only thing you are allowed to do at a listening party is listen. Well i think you should be allowed to craft.
So Saturday we were off to Ottawa.....Ryan made us a lovely lunch, although Amy really helped because she boiled the water!
Ottawa was quite cold saturday and i did not pack accordingly. But we had so much fun, Amy told us about all the statues and Ryan pointed out all the landmarks....I did some shopping at the markets....i got myself a new pair of sunglasses and two new scarfs, as well as a new hat because...DUDE my head was so cold. We enjoyed beaver tails and i almost stood under a giant spider statue. But i couldn't do it...my spider fear is too great. Why do bugs have to be so scary...they are all small and creepy crawly...many with multiple legs....yuck.
Anyways...back to our fun exciting day, we hit up winterlude for a bit as well as bowled. Bowling is so much fun....even while sucking i enjoy the game. Although, i was slightly under dressed for the girls that were doing drugs in the bathroom...dressed up like it was a club and they were going to party all night. But there was a picture of WonderWoman on the bathroom door....which makes that place awesome in my books.
So the best part of the entire trip...well it was sunday morning. Even though i had to get up early which is not my favourite thing to do. But Ryan, Amy, and I headed off to skate the canal. I haven't skated for a very long time. It was fun, and Ryan being a gentleman, carried all our boots. I only fell twice, and i may have some nasty bruises on my knees today, it was worth it. It was a nice morning, skating, starbucks and the best breakfast spread ever!
I may now be addicted to nutella and strawberry crossiants.
So Sunday night, i got to have dinner with Nana and Shelly, it was a great visit. I love the Nana!
Now the adventure is over and i am waiting for the next one. Amy wants to head out to Quebec City for the celebration of the start of patio season....i personally love patio season and think it would be a fun celebration. But before that we have that Harry run....which i am signing up for today.

Adventure time!
It's Friday again, and you know what that means....me and my co-workers who have been good all week (me not so much - ie. stress eating) spend Friday eating all things yummy.
We started off today with breakfast bagels from Marcello's, they have this delicious pesto mayo that just makes us all so happy.
I am not sure what we are going to eat for lunch, we like to mix it up.
As for my weekend....well you all know that i am headed on an adventure with some of my favourite people ever. Tonight, K-Town and tomorrow Ottawa. I am super excited...i packed my bag last night, i am not sure if i have the right kind of outfits...but i packed two pairs of pants, a sweater, sweat pants, a nautical themed shirt, and a flowy purple shirt. But i feel like something is missing. I haven't figured it out yet....but don't worry...i will. I am done work today at 1:00pm, so i will pop home and finish packing then head off to meet Amy.
My destructo kitties are going to miss me lots....i know it but they will have heather to pay attention to them. and hopefully they won't build a fort out of couch cushions like the last time i went away for longer than a night.
SO EXCITED!

Countdown Clock
So I am still in limbo everyone, no chat happened yesterday, and today is shaping up to be the same thing. She is so busy I can't pin her down for a quick meeting.
But i am not too worried, i am going focus on other things.....mainly our adventure this weekend. Which should be awesome fun. Also i am thinking about other things that will make me happy, food and crafts.
Last night, i ran for 6 and a half km and we were way slower than normal. I haven't run in weeks so i guess it was a good start back. I am suppose to be doing some races but i haven't registered for any of them....it just seems so expensive to pay to run when i can do it for free and buy myself something pretty with the money i saved.
Tonight is boot camp, hopefully i won't be too sore tomorrow.
And i will keep you posted on my count down clock. we are getting close to the end!

Nerves and Worries and Caziness - Oh My!
So, I just wanted to reassure everyone that I am fine, not at all nervous or worried or obsessing about today. Okay, I am sorry that is a lie. I have a pit in my stomach. Okay hypothetically, i know that no matter what everything is going to be fine, I will land on my feet no matter what. But realistically, the idea of my contract possibly being over at the end of the month - it stresses me out so much. I can't even describe it...it is like there is a big count down clock over my head but every time it gets close to the end, time keeps getting added to it but it is still counting down. It never stops counting down.
I promise myself that i am going to stop worrying and just think positively and try to build myself a bubble of positivity....it is a work in process.

Glee Night
Guess what, after months of hiatus, we are back to our adventurous glee nights. It will be hosted at my place tonight, I even cleaned in honour of the event. Although, my bedroom still needs a bit more of a tidy so we are just gonna leave the door shut. But i can't wait. We also welcome a new member to our party....Heather.
I am going to try to play it healthy and get veggies and dip for snacks and some tea. i have lots of loose leaf tea but only one tea ball. Oh well, I will figure it out.
Now, what else is new, I find out tomorrow if i will have a job in march or not...but don't worry, i am not nervous at all. I am only obsessively eating discount valentine chocolate right now...but don't worry everything is going to work out just fine...i know it.
Brady, will hopefully be out of the hospital soon. It looks like Thursday at the earliest. I am glad that everything is getting better.
Count down to Ottawa: 4 days

New Dress
So H&M strikes again. I seriously love their discount section. It is like thrift store shopping and I use to be so good at thrift storing. One of my favourite pastimes is to shop and shopping at a discount = awesome!
The only thing with H&M and thrift stores, it is a crap shoot depending on what you find some days there are a lot of great choices, other days you are questioning if fashion has died.
But Saturday was a good day, i bought this big cozy blue sweater dress.....for only $10. But i when i took it home and tried it on, it is so big and bulky, it makes me look like i weigh a million pounds. So i took a look at the sweater, cut up both the side seams and sewed in more of an hour glass shape. But it still feels a little bulky. But i am testing it out right now because i have stitched it permanently, just hand stitched. Hopefully i won't pop any stitches today and then i will go home today and re-evaluate the situation. i think i am going to machine stitch it tonight, and cut off the excess.
What else is new with me, essay handed in - it may suck the big one but it is handed in.
4 days until a long weekend! WOOT

I am a SURFER
So, my week has been a little overwhelming, my essay has really taken over my week but there is also my nephew. My poor baby who has a baterial gland infection. He is quite sick which makes me sad.
Anyways, I met up with my best friend on wednesday to chat, i have been feeling low and he is one of the few people that can help me see things from a different perspective. most of the time I am way too stubborn to listen to anyone other than myself and i tell myself a lot of crap. But here is what he said. Now i am going to prefice this with it is a little cheese ball but at the same time, it has really helped me shift my view. So he told me right now...i am in a wave right now. I don't know the direction it is heading or have any control over the wave but what i do have is two choices, i can float there and give up and let the wave take over OR i can be a surfer and ride the wave. And you know what, i have been floating for a very long time just letting things around me take control and blaming the situation for what is happening. When in reality, i have never been a floater, i love to have control and i would control whatever i could control....so it is time to stop floating and take control! I have taken some steps towards control and i will let you know how that goes.
Also, i have done some consultations for eye surgery and i have a tentative date to get 20/20 vision....April 15th!!!!

The fine line of lemon
I love lemon, it is a flavour i really enjoy, the tartness of it and the freshness it adds to a dish. I have been looking for the best lemon blueberry loaf recipe. Last night I tried my second recipe. The first recipe was delicious but not lemony enough for me. It was too sweet.
The recipe i tried last night called for more lemon to be added and i must admit, i may have gone overboard on the lemon because i tried it this morning as a delicious breakfast treat and it is so lemony it made me pucker a bit. It should be a delicious lemon treat instead it seems like an overwhelming lemon experience.
Back to the drawing board of lemon loafs.
My paper is coming along, SO SLOWLY. I wish it was going better but alas the proper world of grammar escapes me. Stupid grammar, why do you have to be so troublesome.
Okay....i just had another bite of my lemon loaf hoping it would be better this time and it was like i bit into a lemon, i cannot emphasis enough how much i overestimated this lemon thing.

Adventures of the weekend
Okay, so I really need to start a dream journal because dude, I had the best dream on Friday night. Me and my dad were zombie fighters. It was a great dream....killing zombies, although it brought up a few key points....i may have gotten my cardio levels up but now i need to work on my combat skills. Although, when the zombie apocalypse comes, I have faith that me and my dad are going to be the best kick-ass zombie team ever!!!!
So, what else do i need to tell you, I am writing my usual Monday morning post on Sunday night because i am procrastinating on writing my paper for my course this term. I am taking a course that requires 3 properly structured and formatted essays.....boy am i in trouble. English isn't my friend as you blog readers can tell, i love punctuation and i am a horrible speller and i have never been good with grammar. So i thought, blog or write a paper....maybe blogging will get my paper writing ideas flowing.
I also went on a brunch adventure with Heather today....it was a long overdue adventure to get the 13th best donut in the city. We got the very last one...a donut miracle, it was warm and covered in powdered sugar. And so good. Me and heather have decided that we are now going on a city wide adventure to eat all of the top rated donuts in the city. I am going to find that list i originally found that listed the Stockyards donut and print it out and we are going to try all of them. I cannot wait.
Wish me luck on the paper...i am getting back to it now.
So, what else do i need to tell you, I am writing my usual Monday morning post on Sunday night because i am procrastinating on writing my paper for my course this term. I am taking a course that requires 3 properly structured and formatted essays.....boy am i in trouble. English isn't my friend as you blog readers can tell, i love punctuation and i am a horrible speller and i have never been good with grammar. So i thought, blog or write a paper....maybe blogging will get my paper writing ideas flowing.
I also went on a brunch adventure with Heather today....it was a long overdue adventure to get the 13th best donut in the city.

The return of the focus
Hey y'all. Okay, i just can't pull off y'all very well....but i thought i would tell you that after spending January obsessing about work and finding a new job and eating my feelings. I went to boot camp for the first time in two weeks....and i am fricking sore today. We did circuits and it was mostly arms. I have no arm strength at all!
But, that isn't going to stop me...i am going to get back up on the exercise horse and get back to some sort of routine.
On the fake it until you make it front. I am working really hard at believing that everything is just going to work out...but what i don't think everyone understands is that I am my own worst enemy....I am. I am very good at doubting myself and second guessing everything that is going on. But i am forcing myself to not worry and think positively but dude...it is hard work. I will think positively for a good chunk of my day and then i let my guard down and BLAMO...all the nerves and doubts just waiting outside the force field of positiveness attacks and some get in. So what i need to do is build up a stronger force field. Any suggestions. Maybe me and dad will go to the Odyssey this weekend and buy some crystals. He loves going to new age stores with me. He is the best by the way.

Fake it until you Make it
That is basically what my dad is telling me to do. He says that if i believe and act like like i have a new job, one will come along.
So as you know i plan to get my eyes lasered but i have been holding off because i liked having a safety net of money just in case i am out of a job in March...but dad says that's holding me back. He says i need to just believe it will all work out and it will.
So he is encouraging me to get my eyes done sooner rather than later. So guess what. I am setting up a bunch of consultations for next week....then i will make my eye laser appointment and then...magic...i will have lasered eyes!!!
I am actually really excited about it because i am getting so tired and frustrated with my glasses. I also think it will add another level to my confidence. Which will help with the faking until making it theory.
Also on a side note....anyone has a spare job please let me know.

Nail Polish takes me to a happy place
A co-worker has found this place to buy cheaper OPI nail polish. Now this makes my year...i know you all know how I feel about nail polish. So last week I went to the OPI website and went through all the nail polishes.....and made a list of the ones that had the best names. That is how i pick OPI nail polish, not on it's colour because really let's face it...i love all nail polish colours. So here is the list of the options i gave her:
Yodel me on my cell
Senorita-rosalita
Diva from Geneva
Funky Dunky
So...i tried to limit myself to two first choice and two second choice. I got the first two nail polishes on the list. I LOVE THEM!!!! Also as a wonderful extra, they have this new nail polish called Shatter which you put a coat over top of a dry coloured nail and it will crack and split and it looks kind of like a cross between marble and mosaic.
Also, this snow storm of the century....when is that going to happen because right now...i am at work and it is just blowy and flurries. I miss snow days and i want one. Remember those days, you get to stay home because of the snow and you bundle all up and go tobogganing and play all day in the snow. I want an adult snow day!
What would you do on a snow day?

More Crazy Dreams
So it must be the cold medicine that i have been taking before bed because i am having the most vivid crazy dreams.
Also i slept in this morning and had like 10 minutes to get ready and leave my house.....and i still made it to work on time...it was like everything lined up perfectly...the elevator came as soon as i pressed the button and the subway came as soon as i got to the platform. It was perfect....although usually that much good karma in a row means that i am going to have a rough day at work. But i am going to be positive. Today is the day that i am going to find a new job. Today is the day people. I need positive thinking and good karma sent my way all day long. PS...if you know of a job that is perfect for me......let me know.
Okay anyways....back to the crazy dream: So i had this bachelor apartment and i was waiting for my chinese food and they called me and told me it was in a different apartment. And i get up to that apartment and the delivery boy and the guy that owns that apartment are eating my chinese food....so i am like dude that's not cool and go to take some and he is like it's 6.50 (i had a lot of food for that much) and i was like I'm not paying that much, especially since A) you're eating it and B) i had to come and get it with negates(i speak with big words in this dream) the purpose of ordering delivery. Then i was like fine i will take this and here's $5. and i take off...it was a bag of noodles....they weren't even in a container. Then i get back to my apartment and 5 minutes later the delivery boy is knocking on my door and forcing me to take the food and i am like dude you guys ate it already...i am not paying for it. and we had an argument then we made out and then he went off to deliver more food and the guy from upstairs came to my apartment to hang out and play video games. then i went to bed and got up the next morning and walked though my apartment, which is much larger now and apparently part of my parents house....like a guest house on their land. And i suddenly had a dog.
Crazy right....i am just surprised that i remembered it all.
