Whoever says to think of a “Happy Place” when you’re feeling crap must be a fucking idiot. I tried that yesterday, which was an upsetting and frustrating day, and I just got more upset because I’m not in the happy place! I’ve been in the “Bad Place” mentally for the last few weeks, I’m not sure what has triggered it …

I was in Cape Breton, writing in my diary.. and letters to my future husband, even though I didn’t know it yet. Today while rummaging through our storage room, Xander found my old diary. When he brought it up to me I couldn’t believe my eyes, as I haven’t seen it in ages. I have been looking through it and …

Today I had an appointment to get my hair done. I haven’t been there in ages and my hair was getting pretty ratty looking. My roots were all grown out, the purple was looking crap and the black was faded. I felt like a big change, thought maybe I’d get my hair layered or get more purple put in it. …

Aren’t they delicious? We just had some a little while ago, ordered from The Sparerib King or something. I had the wings and they were good, the ribs have dry seasoning on them though, what the hell is that about? I want them dripping BBQ sauce down my friggin ARMS! The only disgusting thing about them though, is the smacky …

I find it hard to think of titles for each blog.. my old blog I wrote in notepad didn’t have them. I mean a title should be something that catches people’s eye and makes them interested in what you have to say, but I struggle with titles. I chose “Manooky Juice” because it was the first thing that came to …

That’s what Xander calls the kids across the street. Mean I suppose, but I still can’t help but laugh when he tells me “The Musical Mongos are on parade!”. It’s that time of year again, when they workers at the special needs school across the street start putting their patients outside for a little sun and fresh air. After an …

Overnight I have become my parents.. my parents have become their parents.. and it scares me to death. On March 25, 2005 at approximately 3pm in the afternoon, my aunt Pearly took her last breath. She was in her early 80’s and until this past year they had all been healthy. I was sure she’d live to be 100 years …

Yesterday I felt like I was on my very own episode of House Invaders, only a shitload more expensive! In House Invaders they go to your home and use things you have hanging around to make over your house. The difference is, we didn’t have anything hanging around to do it, so we had to buy tons of shit. Wow, …

Ten Reason Why I Love My Husband He GETS me. We are almost always on the same wavelength and if I’m happy, sad, angry or frustrated he truly listens to me and understands why. He is has an abundance of patience, which makes up for my complete lack of it. Together we have the perfect balance. He is strong, but …

I don’t mean the actual word “WORD” but the program “WORD”. I managed to talk myself into going to school yesterday, thinking I’d go to class and listen to my teacher .. you know, teach me shit. Yeah … When I got there she took us to the OLC (Open Leer Centrum) and plopped us down in front of computers. …

Yesterday I was talking to a friend and showing him some pics of Cape Breton when I found this pictures online of North Sydney, the town I come from. I felt homesick but it didn’t take me over like it would have in the past. It’s been so long since I’ve lived there, almost 9 years now. It’s hard to …
