Camping in the Cold

I went camping over the weekend to a very beautiful lake, the campground was spectacular, and I had a lot of fun being out in nature. If only it had not been so freaking cold! It was like camping in my freezer. Lucky for me I had my Roma Im to keep me warm, I had lots of good juices high in protein to keep my blood pumping, and I did some exercises that help turn up the heat.

Even though camping during the fall in Canada is very cold, I enjoyed it. The smell of cotton candy helped pass the time. I look forward to going again.

Wedding

I was recently at a wedding were I had involved so much in the planning and executing of the wedding. Well I had been to a wedding before and I did not realize how much work it took to make them work! I hate weddings now, hate them with a passion!

There are so many little things that must be thought of, things that I would have never considered a problem they were. Like were people sat at the reception, who to invite, pictures, transportation, speeches. All these things have a number of problems that must be solved and why is it that any little problem and the bride goes nuts!!! Why?

Well needless to say in spite of all the little things and everything that could have gone horribly wrong, it was a great wedding! I really enjoyed myself, the alcohol really helped.

Fall is Here

The Fall season has arrived in Canada, we did not have much of a summer. But weather wise fall is always my favorite season! The leaves change colours, and the weather is always just right, warm enough that I can just wear a nice sweater and just the right amount of cold that I can wear my collections of jackets!

There has been a lot going in my life recently and I am trying to look for the up side of life. Fall seems to be the only good thing at the current moment! A little sad but I will take it.

My Past

Why is it that the past has a way of springing up again on you, especially when you have tried so hard to forget it! The smallest thing comes up and reminds you all over, the hurt, the pain, the wounds, and old scars that never really healed.
I recently have been going through a bit of a bad day, we all get the our bad days. Even though I am trying to stay optimistic; I can't help but remember.
I just hope that it will only be to remind me that I have grown stronger because of the experience. I know I will look back on this and be a better person but in the mean time... I am just trying to cope.

Beavertail

The famous beavertail of Ottawa, is a delicious sweet treat that can be enjoyed all year round.

The beavertail stand is located in the heart of Ottawa in the Byward Market, such a lively place especially during the summer.

I went downtown Ottawa today with some friends and had a great time, lots of clubs, pubs, restaurants, and everything in between, loved it!

But back to the beavertail, they are like pancakes only thinner and deep fried, they come in a few flavours like, chocolate, cheese cake, apple fritter, or my favorite cinnamon and sugar (pictured in this blog). They are so tasty but very sweet to eat with water. When you visit Ottawa, Canada make sure to enjoy one.

My Relationships

Why is it that relationships are so hard! That no matter what you do to try and forget someone it's always hard to, everything seems to remind you of that person.
I have recently been reminded of an old flame that I thought I had forgotten but I am not feeling all these emotions that I don't want to feel for this person.
Both sexes are complicated and easy at the same time but both people in the relationship are never easy at once. This makes the relationship hard to deal with, understand, and keep for the long haul. Most relationships you will have in your life will end! Even if you find yourself someone to marry, that marriage will end sometime. The few lucky ones of us that actually make a relationship work die before their time so really at the end of the day there are no relationship that pass the test of time!

Bitter, Sweet Week

Like everyone we all have our good days and our bad day! In the words of Charles Dickens "It was the best of time, it was the worst of time." Nothing has been closer to the truth for me than that this week.
There have been happy moments especially over the weekend, but at the same time there have been sad moments. We always look forward to the future with hope, anticipation, and joy, but the past sometimes only brings back painful memories, old scars, and tears!
I can be hard to be happy when you are reminded of a hurtful past, and a painful past makes a happy moment meaningless.
I have felt all these feelings all this week, I hope to get through them and move on. To put the past where it belongs, in the past. And look to the future for a better opportunity.
