My favorite organic store

by

A couple of weekends ago my parents in law came in to Toronto for a visit. They stayed all weekend. They were here to visit my husbands sick uncle but they also spent time with my husband and I.

During my in-laws stay we took my mother in law and my husbands Aunt to this store where we buy all of our various multivitamins and other health foods called The Healthy Planet. My Mother in Law always visits The Big Carrot whenever she comes to Toronto so we knew she’s love this new store too.

While we were there I mentioned that I love there organic chocolate covered ginger and my mother in law took it upon herself to buy a huge bag of them for me .. I mean huge … it must have been three pounds! You don’t buy a chocoholic a big bag of chocolates like that! I hate to say this but there’s gone! My husband had some, but I ate the bulk of them – three or four a day and ta da … there gone.

Anyway .. do you have a favorite store in your city that you go to for buying bulk or organic food and vitamins?





Doing my friends make up for her wedding

by

I got a call earlier today from one of my friends. She’s getting married in July and she wants me to do her make up for the wedding. I used to be a make up artist – never professionally but I do have my make up artist certificate and I’ve done the make up for several of my friends and sister in laws weddings so I guess I do I pretty good job if I keep getting asked. It probably doesn’t hurt that I don’t charge too much either.

Anyway …. my friend now wants all kinds of skin care tips. Everything from the best blackhead removal lotions to what kind of moisturizer she should use each night. So … I think I’m going to write up so basic skin care do’s and don’ts for her so that she can get working on things.

Have you ever been asked to do something for a wedding that’s a little out of the ordinary .. I mean rather than being a bridesmaid etc … ?

Trying to digitize our old records

by

Earlier today my husband and I were out shopping. We went out stores like Best Buy and Future shop in the hopes of finding cables and software that would help us connect our turntable to our computer so that we can start to record our old records and digitize the music.

We didn’t find much that would help us though. Just a lot of software and items to promote your business rather than audio software. I think we’re going to have to do our shopping online for this specialty item. I know it’s something we can do … we just need to have the right RCA hook ups and software.

Have you ever attached an old turntable to your computer in order digitize old records? If so .. what equipment and software did you use to do that?

Why am I so tired?

by

I’m so massively tired lately. I think I could sleep for a solid week if my body would let me.

I know it’s Saturday, but if I can, I think I’m going to try to go to bed early tonight. Generally I’m not an early to bed person no matter how tired I am. Even if I’m tired I just can’t go to sleep … but I’m going to try. I’ve got to, I’m exhausted.

At this rate, if I don’t start to get some good sleep or at least stop feeling so tired (because I am sleeping) I’m going to start to hunt down the best anti wrinkle cream because I’m sure I’ll start to look the way I feel and maybe even start to get wrinkles if this keeps up.

It’s been months since I didn’t feel exhausted. Something is going on.

talking with the neighbors

by

I was outside earlier this morning with my dog and I ran into one of my neighbors. She was also out with her dog. I hadn’t seen her for a while so we stood and talked while our dogs played.

She works in the hospital where I work. Well … I’m on medical leave, but I still do work there, although you wouldn’t know it lately would you?

I always see either her or her husband out walking their dog. It’s a beautiful brindle American terrier and he just seems to love our Labrador Retriever.

I hadn’t talked with her for a while, maybe since Autumn even though I see her pass by my house regularly. I guess I hadn’t taken a close look at her either because when I did stop to talk with her this morning I noticed that she’d really lost weight. I don’t know what she’s doing, maybe she found diet supplements that work or she really stepped up the walking or something, but whatever she’s up to it’s working! She looks great.

Maybe I should have said something, but I didn’t want to make her self conscious about her looks or anything. I was just really impressed. I mean, you don’t see people really shaping up in the middle of winter – not in the middle of a bad Canadian winter anyway. Not usually. Good for her!

Do you ever notice that about your neighbors or co-workers .. that they’ve suddenly started to lose weight or get into better shape?
