Okay I am going to try to do this again

So I am going to try blogging regularly again. How often this will happen right now, I am not too sure, but I am going to give it a try.

First off I want to say that my heart and soul go out to Hallie over at Wonderful World of Wieners and her family who are dealing with the loss of their son CJ. This was unexpected and tragic and I cannot tell any of you how just unreal it seems. Even as I write this I still can't believe it. My heart still breaks for their loss. I ask all of you to just send a little prayer up for them and for CJ.

As horrible as it sounds this tragedy is the reason that I decided to start blogging again. Through this I have seen how powerful the blogging world can be and I have realized how much I value and love the connections that I have made with my fellow bloggers. By giving up my blog I am severing that connection and I just can't allow that to happen.

So I have a few posts that I have in draft that I will post at a later date. Hopefully this will help some of you understand what has been going on in my life lately and why I took a hiatus from my blog. Some great things have been happening in my little corner of the world. I have made friends (YES FRIENDS!) in Montreal, I have been riding up a storm and I am volunteering at the SPCA (Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals.)

So the plan for this blog is to give a bit more of myself. The one thing that I keep saying in my job hunt is that I have so much to offer is only someone would give me the chance. Well I have the chance here, and although I may not share my ideas for improving productivity or retention in a workplace with all of you, I can share my recipes, decorating ideas and interesting stories.

So what do you say, do you want to take this journey with me?

Yes, I would love to journey with you. :)

I still can not wrap my brain around what happened. It seems every other minute I fins myself thinking "CJ can't be gone" and then the tears start again. My heart aches for Hallie and her family. I love them all dearly and can not imagine what they are going through. The loss of a loved one is never easy, especially one so young. But you are right. How we have all rallied around her is awe-inspiring. It makes me so happy to have my blog buddies in my life. I for one am so blessed to have friends like you.

Glad you are back O, I've missed you. :)

DAMN YOU STARBUCKS So just when I thought that I was safe from edible temptation, Starbucks releases its Valentine's Day Cupcakes! I innocently walked into the Starbucks across the street from school and just as I walked in a guy asked me if I would like to try a sample. Before I realized what was going on I said "Sure!" I tried the sample, then I realized what it was I was eating... pure heaven in the form of chocolate. Then I realized what I should have seen all along! That guy who offered me a "sample" was actually a pusher! I have since clued in: I've been coming to Starbucks daily since I started school. These cheery people who happily serve me my grande non-fat no water Tazo chai every morning are actually just a bunch of disguised pushers who know that I have lost control of my addiction and am now searching for a new high! They've got me, in the form of chocolate and red velvet cupcakes..... Don't be fooled by their charming demeano

100th Post

So I had hoped to make this a momentous occasion, but nothing momentous really popped up, so I am going to talk about something that has really irked me. I have spoken before about how much I love my family, they are the most important people in the world to me. When something is happening with one of them it really gets to me. ESPECIALLY when in indirectly involves me! Here's the deal; I have an Uncle who is an alcoholic. My Dad's side of the family all suffer from certain degrees of alcoholism (with the exception of my Dad who doesn't drink at all) but none as badly as this particular Uncle. He has a habit of getting trashed and ripping a strip off of people and breaking down crying while blaming EVERYONE for his problems, you know typical alcoholic behavior. Anyway with my pending nuptials my Dad called my Uncle to ask him not to drink at my wedding. My Uncle took offense to this request and decided not to attend my wedding. This didn't exactly thrill me, but

I'm confused...

Oh man I go away for a few days and everything changes! Hallie's blog looks all spiffy and Vegas Princess' blog won't let me read! I must say I was quite saddened by the latter of those two (invite me! I am now addicted... you can't take away my Vegas fix!!!;) ) I am also kind of sad because I am eating some California rolls and they SUCK! Boo French sushi! In other news I just got back from London. It was fun and I got to see Paddigton Bear and Platform 9 3/4. (Yes I am that big of a loser... here's photographic proof) I also saw all the other stuff like Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, so all in all it was a good, but expensive holiday. I can't believe that two weeks today I will wake up in my own bed! That's right I leave Paris on August 6 th , that's just under two weeks away! I have no welcome home stuff planned cause I figure if people are happy I am home they can arrange to see me (also it is easier for people at home to
