So in the last few weeks there have been some major changes in my life, and since your all loving readers (I'm looking at you 3 :D) I figured I would update you on the changes so far!
Change 1. Anthony is now living with Master and I for the next school year and because of that we have been getting up at 7am every morning. Well most of us have been a certain slave seems to sleep till around 7:20 when she kicks herself for the lost 20 minuets :S
He just completed his first week of school and has brought back some amazing feedback, Master is volunteering at his school alot and says that apparently everyone there knows him or has heard of Anthony from Iowa.
Change 2. Two Fridays ago so the 3rd... either way I applied for a new position at work, while this new position does not take me off the phones for ever (I wish) it does offer me a chance to not be on the phones all the time. I applied for the Designated Trainer position. Basically this position means that when the training dept needs me to train a NAT class or supplemental training I would be called upon. My buddy Simon also applied which was neat as if he got it and I didn't I would at least like the new Trainer :D
Well we heard back this past Friday and we BOTH got the job! So this means were in training this week with an awesome guy from Austin named Vernon who is teaching us about being a great trainer. It means my hours are pretty much Monday - Friday 8:30 ~5:30 with weekends off!! I look forward to the possible advancement in the company, even though I don't always like the place :D
That is about all of the major changes, minors are that I am attempting to keep the house clean and should be cooking and baking more often, it is an effective way to make sure things do not go bad!
Anyway I am off to eat dinner, will post again soon!!
Love ya

Every Thing is going to be alright
Seems like the first day went off without a hitch!! Anthony made some new friends (one is from Germany and the other is from Romania) and his classes all seemed to be good!
I was successful in taking Amy to the hospital and back for her appointment and I have to say my favorite part of the entire trip is when we were coming home from the hospital and Amy was still high on her anesthesia she looked out the window when we were atop the skyway looked at me and said " I would like to drink that water." To be honest I thought I had misheard her so I wanted to clarify "Did your just say you want to drink the water in the canal?" to which her reply was adorable " yah or swim in it :D" To say that I did not bring Amy to the canal was an understatement, I considered caging her and then not letting her go ......... I mean not letting her go until the anesthesia wore off :S
I am going to make Banana bread today if I have the opportunity so be on the possible lookout for a Banana Bread post :D
Master and I are off to the lovely city of Port Colbourn today to get his sister for an appointment in Welland, hope it goes well for her even though she annoys me sometimes I can say that on a general level I do like her.
It was my Mom's birthday yesterday and her Anniversary with my Father after a whooping 25 years together, we didn't have a party but I think I am going to surprise them with one in October, nothing big just the people who care about them is all. Anyhow I made them a card and my brother and I decided to give them a night out with Dinner on us, I suggested McDonald's :D Dad was not impressed with the McDonald's idea not even one of the fancy ones with a fire place :D
There is not much else to report in the way of normal day to day activities, oh um I cleaned a little bit.....yah.
Well I have to go get ready to get Masters sister, hope to see you all soon, while I am eating Banana Bread :D
Love Ya

7am = Balls :D
So here I am awake at 7am getting my darling Anthony up to get back into the swing of things with school, while I was sitting here wondering how I can kill another half hour before walking my darling to school I remembered I had this blog once and that I may or may not have let it wilt and die :( So here I am trying once again to resurrect the bad boy and keep myself motivated enough to not let it slip again.
Rather than try and go back and tell you all the things I have been doing/experiencing and then get mad when I forget one or two things I am going to just start out fresh with a few majors:
1. Anthony my oldest step son is going to be living with us for the school year, it has been weird getting used to no "naked" time running about the house, but when he is in school I have those 6 hours to run around in the nude :D
2. I have decided to change my scheduling to split shifts which will give me a four hour break in the day, now I will need to make sure I go in for the second half of my shift.
3. Kink wise we have been in a slump for a while now, there has been no play and to be honest it makes nickle crazy :D However we have been trying to talk about this more and are going to make a point of working on this.
4. Since I really enjoy baking and the like I have decided to steal my good friend Suzy's idea to post food blogs with pictures when I do get around to baking which will hopefully become more frequent with the four hour break ....right...anyone.....I am not going to just nap....right....oh dammit.
So for now this is the end of this blog but be on the lookout for more new and exciting adventures from.............well me.

Bodies
So I have come to the conclusion that bodies suck. Here's my reasoning for this, I was not feeling good on Sunday, we had gone to my parents for dinner and it was nice but I had a headache and felt really warm so I lay down on my brothers bed to try and get rid of the headache. It went away but I was still feeling pretty shitty.
Go to Monday and I woke up in agony, my back was killing me it was horrible. I couldn't sleep, I could not get comfortable. I tried my hardest to sleep but it just was not happening. On Tuesday I went shopping with Kath and felt crappy there as well. I promised Rob and Kath that I would go to the doctor, My dad felt it was a Kidney infection but I didn't know as I have had back pain for a long time, well went to my doctor and he agrees with the kidney infection. I am on antibiotics and pain killers, hopefully by Saturday I feel better because right now I am dying.
I was bored so I decided to write a blog and here it is!

Wedding Money Woes
So this wedding of mine, yah I can honestly say I want to beat it with a hammer.....a sledge hammer!
It has been stressing me out galore and I was stressing about bills because as you may or may not know I work for a living and do not have a silver spoon in my mouth (besides I think it would hurt with my fillings), Rob has a bad knee, not a sore knee or a slightly disjointed knee nope basically this think is done finito caputz finished washed up done like dinner DEAD! Yes he can walk and sit and do other things etc but they don't last long before he has to "med" up to be functioning again. Now I am not complaining as he has money coming into the home so were not in a box exactly or anything but money is tight at times.
Today Cogeco wanted some money, I did owe them said money so it wasn't like they were being greedy but it stressed me out to the max.
So at work I sat down and wrote out my expenses and then I looked at them again and went "Where in the hell is my money going...?" So then I gave myself a budget, and I wrote out where the budget was going either Hydro, cable, Rent etc.
I took the left over money and calculated how soon we could have my Wedding paid for, and the result.....literal tears of Joy! If I manage to stick with this budget I may be able to afford this after all. I understand there will be difficulties in accomplishing it but I am going to stick with it and try my hardest because I want to be excited for my Wedding, and I really really really cannot wait to marry my dead knee man!
Love you hunny!

Birthday Bliss
So all in all I cannot complain about my birthday. It was an early morning thanks to the work holiday party being the night before and then having to work at 9 the next day :( but it was okay. Megan made me a delicious cherry chip cake and gave me 2 gifts the book The Host by Stephanie Meyer ( author of Twilight ) and a toasted vanilla reed diffuser! Wendy gave me a soy candle and a bag of my fav candy. After work we were off to Ricki Jo's for dinner with the fam and apparently every one at work. Got some awesome gifts from everyone, Rob's mom Anne got me a mask in Cuba when they went so I was excited about that! Rachel and Matt got me a reusable shopping bag (they know my weakness) and a Michaels gift card! My little brother got me the new Harry Potter movie, Kath and Jay got me Dirty Dancing, and my very own pumpkin spice soap ( no more smelling Diana's hands ) Mom and Dad got me my very own new iPod Touch EEEEEEEEE I am so excited for my new iPod I really needed one so Yay! Rob got me a new set of speakers for my iPod and my laptop and they are adorable and orange! Oh and then the little bro gave me a 25 dollar iTunes card!
Now all I need is an iPod docking station oh and these iPod covers so cute ,http://www.ideal-case.com/ipod/touch-i

Love you guys

And I was worried about Wednesday
I began this post at 12:00 pm on Thursday, it is now 1:30 am on Friday
Okay so it looks like any blog posts I am going to be making will be a day late as I am way to exhausted at night to blog :P
Yesterday was Wednesday, after my very long night on Tuesday it was to be an enjoyably relaxing day and for the most part it was! Around 1ish Master and I went to Niagara on the Lake with my mom to have tea and Banoffee pie in the Little Irish Tea Shop that we love!! After that I received a text from Suzy as we were going to be hanging out later that day, she asked me if I was interested in going to a pagan woman's circle, now anyone who knows me well knows that I have been struggling with my "religious beliefs" or should I say lack there of and I have been looking at all religions of the world to figure out if and where I belong in the world. Pagan was something I was immediately drawn to as it identifies with nature and my Norse gods, so I was a little nervous when Suzy asked but after talking to Master he knew I should go as it is something that I was interested in and he figured I would enjoy it, so I agreed.
Suzy came to get me at 5:30 and we went out to shoppers, then Starbucks to talk for a while before we picked up Tasha one of Suzy's friends and might I say a mighty cool girl she is! Then we were off to Rae's house to have the women's circle. Now Runa is the woman I know Suzy goes to for help and she is very close to her and I know Rae and Runa are close but what I didn't grasp was how close Rae and Jen (Masters ex girlfriend and the mother of Aiden one of my awesome step son's!!) are. So I was slightly apprehensive of the evening and what might be said to me. Arrived at the house and met a large number of very friendly ladies all of them quite open and eager to accept people in, I liked that a lot. The ritual that night was an ancestor based one (sorry Suzy but I don't know the terminology yet) and it brought up some very heavy emotions but ones I had been suppressing so it was nice to finally let them out! Also received a message from Runa and I will need to do some deep thinking and soul searching regarding that tidbit.
All in all it was a great time and I am eager to learn more about Suzy and her pagan beliefs!
well I am off to bed so I can write another day late post tomorrow!
