It’s already almost July.

Days are flying by so fast I often don’t even know what day it is.

Everything in my life is status quo. Nothing much changes.

Most people on my OD friends are on my FB so you know the happenings of my life (which are pretty uneventful)

Daughters boyfriend graduated with his RN degree. He is now working in the Cardiac Care Unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital. I’m super proud of him. He migrated here from Zimbabwe 10 years ago. Knew no one. Did not speak legible English. Just enough to get by. He never once relied on the Government to support him and here he is living his dream. Well his ultimate dream is to get his Masters and then Nurse practitioner. I’m certain he can do it.

Maybe now that he is finished with school my daughter and him will get married. 🙂

I just heard today that the bimbo Kim Kardashian called her daughter North. W T F! Honesty she has more money than brains. Poor child.

Why do celebrities feel the need to do stupid things and think it’s okay.

So glad I’m not famous. I’d like to have a little more money than I do at the moment but I don’t want to be super famous.

Hubby is going to Calgary next month. THANK GOD it’s not this month with the raging floods they have going on. My sister in law, Nephew and his wife and Niece and her husband and baby were all evacuated. Nephew lives in the brunt of the floods in High River. My sister in law lives in Calgary and they were also evacuated. It’s awful.

Holly, is Caitlin okay? I know she’s in Calgary (pretty sure that’s corrrect).

I have been doing S H I T T Y with my diet. I mean TOTAL shit. I don’t know wtf is wrong with me. Monday I’m going to the gym. Going to cut out carbs from my life and hopefully gain some friggin energy again.

When I was MUCH thinner I had so much energy. Fuck me why does being a healthy weight have to be such hard work. No wonder people are overweight. It’s EASIER and less expensive. Oh well, first world problem I guess.

Work is the same ole same ole. It keeps me busy and I bring home a paycheque. If only I could figure out a way to have the summer off and work 9 months a year. HA wishful thinking.

Well that’s enough rambling for one day. I’m not even going to say I’ll try to write more because when I say that I never do which makes me a liar.

Hope you are all well 🙂 Add me to facebook if you aren’t already on there. It’s easier to keep up over there.

My sister is fine, thankfully! What a scary situation. Over 75,000 people evacuated. A few fatalities. Awful. What a wonderful achievement for Albert! That is fantastic. You must be over the moon! Yes, perhaps they will be planning a wedding soon 😉 Oh, North. Unbelievable. I mean.. seriously? They obviously want people to talk and talk they have! I miss your entries! xxx

Being just overweight and not obese is a lot of work for me.

I am so glad you wrote! I know it’s hard to keep coming back here, what with how easy FB is. I’m glad when you do write though. Wow congrats to him. I cannot imagine moving to a different country and not knowing the language. But to go on and get an education and secure a good career, that’s dedication and hard work. Congrats Albert!

It is hard work to lose and keep weight off. It’s ridiculous how difficult it is and how easy it is to not do it. That’s pretty much what work is to me too. Money. Can’t imagine bringing my work home with me like so many do. I just leave work and forget about it 🙂

RYN: Thank you 🙂 xo

RYN: Thank you! I figure she will do things on her own time. I am definitely in no rush for potty training. Until she is pretty much asking me to do it, I’m not really initiating. Not early anyway. Diapers are fine for me lol. As for weaning, man it seems like she is going strong and never going to stop. I am def proud, thank you :O) I do hope she weans soon and happily though.

Thanks! I’m a bit obsessed with pigtails, I admit 🙂 I read between 27 and 30 something months is a good time to start. Although, it gets annoying when all the old people in your life ask when you’re going to do it and tell her she’s too old for diapers because they can’t remember **** and think their kids were trained by 1…

ryn: thank you!

RYN: Thank you, she really is getting so much cuter, if that’s even possible! 😉 I don’t have any qualms about formula not being good for babies or affecting health. I just don’t want to do both, so effing time consuming. And I definitely couldn’t care less about nosy people’s opinions of it. People still have the need to be so shocked that I am still bfing. I don’t bring it up either but they

ask so it can’t be that shocking if they are asking! I would really love to bf exclusively with our next because I find it’s easier and that could be coming from the naivety of someone who hasn’t been able to breastfeed 100%.

RYN: They totally are coming back. but I’m not sure I would like Hazel forever. I dunno. I love it now though. A coworker of mine has a grand daughter named Nancy. It just seems to old and not classic old. Wilma is too funny but I guess names grow to suit the individual or vice versa.

RYN: Ooh really? I would be really interested in what you eat! I’m having a hard time. It’s really hard because we do eat on the go a lot and it’s hard to get anything without wheat. And NS is not exactly a mecca for gluten free stuff. I’m trying to get over my all or nothing attitude though and just do better than I was. I feel crunched for time and this wheat free stuff requires more cooking

And especially more cooking with obscure ingredients (to me)to stop it from being repetitive. Congrats on cutting out bread. That’s hard because it’s so easy to make a sandwich. I want to read wheat belly too, I’ve heard good things about it.

RYN: Oh and thank you for saying that, you are always too sweet to me. I don’t put those pics up and make fun of myself for compliments or anything but your comments always make me feel warm and fuzzy. xo

RYN – I am ShaunaLu on there just in case…..but we have each other on facebook…you’re stuck with me forever!

Your note cut off. Stupid od. Seriously thinking of moving to pb full time. Nothing is keeping me here if you guys are there anyway. The same thing will happen to those people that also do any diet then go back to the way they were eating. Gain it all back. Although I wonder if after drinking them your stomach would naturally shrink. As.long as you ate properly after it might be ok.

Oh how come Josh is moving? I’m sorry. That must be so hard. 🙁 I hope you will get to visit lots. My mom still says that “I left her” lol but I can sort of kind of understand the feelings you guys have. I mean it’s your heart actually leaving. I guess, though, you did your job and you did it well and you’ve raised an amazing man so that’s something to be proud of! It doesn’t help your heart tho.

RYN: I put Liv in jean capris and a gold sweater today that was slouchy and kind of off the shoulder and I swear she looked 16. Insane! You can even bake the rice paper wraps in the oven and make like a spring roll. So good as well. but I love them raw too

RYN: How can a new store smell! That’s so gross! I can’t imagine the one in Dartmouth (ghetto) is overly good but it is two levels. I’m not a fan of shopping since I don’t fit into anything cute and hate spending money but I like looking lol

RYN: Big dinners don’t matter to me either. As long as I get to eat, I’m good. It was freaking good though, even the turkey, which is my least favourite, I could just eat all the sides and cranberries and chow and be happy. Yeah, I don’t get the rush for everything. Do people want to be first? I don’t get it.

I saw your post on fb about Josh having somewhere to go for Thanksgiving. That’s awesome that he had someone out there. How were you? Sorry I don’t “note” on there. I feel it’s more personal in some ways since everyone knows you in person for the most part and I’m just a diary person lol
