Warning: Unbridled Happiness to Follow

  Alright, so two months have gone by since my last post...geez. 

I have a boyfriend.  Not just any boyfriend, but one who loves me just as I am (yes, I am Bridget Jones), and while we may differ in terms of, well, everything, we enjoy being with eachother.  He reminds me of Will in a lot of ways, but he differs in many important ways that make me want to think about the future.  However, my horoscope for the year told me to chill, pretend that I am frozen in time and just be in my life, so that's what I'm doing right now.

I feel like I have shed some layers of myself.  Allowing myself to be happy, and still compensating for the fact that I'm cynical and would like to see myself as an "in your face" type has been an interesting experiment.  I want to go to B.C. for the summer (especially to see Evan get married), but I also still want to work towards the military, and a career and travel in the next 9 months....all very daunting when you do the math, especially when you consider the person I have been since my breakup...but I still feel it's all possible.  In short, I am the happiest and healthiest I have been in months.

In the dark days, when I was failing school, when I was drinking every day, when I was doing things that were detrimental to my self-esteem, I didn't see myself coming out of it this way.  I have battled myself, I have battled my demons, and for the first time in forever, I feel like I am gaining ground in a significant way, maybe it's just all the awesome shoes I have bought in the past while....

The Leafs will make the playoffs. Believe it bitches.

I never realized how valuable it is to have a stable existence.  Truly.  It has cost me some friends, as I learn these lessons, and I regret their (hopefuly temporary) losses.  I can't truly put into words the general joy I feel every day, and while I wish certain people were there to share it with me, if only because they brought me through the awfulness that was 2009, I'm beginning to trust that things will all even out in the end.  

So, I don't know...I was going to try and post a usually witty and thoughtful update, but I really have just let the grossness of new relationship spill out all over this post.  I apologize.  I have a degree, I have an amazing partner and I have goals; no dad, I really don't have any savings, but really, those shoes were SO worth it.

Round 1: Xmas Celebration

Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie (close-up)For Tim’s Nana’s Xmas Eve bash I prepared a vegan chocolate chip pecan pie which had flax meal instead of eggs in it. At first it tasted a little too intense but once it was refrigerated over night it took on a whole new and improved  taste. I brought some to my parents house in Montreal as well and it even was enjoyed by someone who doesn’t care much for nuts.

I also baked vegan southern cornbread muffins with hot peppers added for extra flavor. These turned out pretty good, but I think I might add some actual corn and extra hot peppers in next time just to boost up the flavor profile a little.

Round 2:  New Years Eve

Here’s what I’m planning on baking/cooking/making

1) Guacamole from Alton Brown

2) Baked Apples a la Down Home with the Neelys

3) still thinking of other ideas… any suggestions are welcome

after being quite the slouch these last few months, i went to an ashtanga yoga class last night. every time i do this (stop doing yoga for months and then go back to classes) i am always amazed at (a) how much i enjoy forgetting about everything for an hour and just getting really into the stretches and (b) how much abuse my body can take and bounce back from. i was fully expecting to be unable to walk this morning but i'm actually not too sore. there were some muscles that i had completely forgotten about that are now screaming in revenge but for the most part i'm good. my plan to be svelte and lithe for our Costa Rica trip in March has begun!

i'm still thinking about my New Years resolutions, but this being The Year Of Yoga is definately topping my list. full list coming January... something. we move into our new place Jan 1st, so whenever Bell decided to stopping fucking around we'll have internet again.

cheer!
