Are you there Bloggers? It's me, Amy...

Wow--What a long and crazy weekend! With no end in sight!! Friday I was off work--I had a doctors appointment in the morning (all went well but he is still sending me for a Colposcopy and possible Biopsy but he is certain there is nothing even remotely cancerous about it this is just a precautionary measure to see what it is and keep an eye on it). So he said in the next 2 months the hospital should be calling me for a consultation and then we'll book the appointment from there. The afternoon, I took off as vacation. I met up with Ty and we had some lunch and we went home to relax a bit! I started getting ready and headed out to dinner at Boston Pizza with the girls for Ashlee and Shan's birthday! I have never blown through 55 WW points so quickly! Just from a pasta dish and a dessert :( Oh well! Good thing I saved all my extras for the week and was good that day! I went home after and Ty was already in bed (got home around 10:30 or so after dropping Shan off at home on my wa...

Ok so it's been a while. Can't remember how long (I'd have to look) but I know I won't be able to properly catch up--but I'll try anyways:) So first news first! One of my best friends (Shannon) got engaged to Ty's cousin (Casey) on Nov 16!! :) She tried to call but it happened to be a night we decided to go to bed early (by like 8 haha) but Casey got through to Ty and told him. On Friday the 18th, Shan and I went for lunch alone together and she asked to to be a Bridesmaid. Of course I said yes :) Ty will be MC'ing with Stephane (who was our best man) so they should do a fantastic job! I can't wait to help her start planning all the little events that goes along with a wedding :) Yay! On the night of the 18th I was a busy girl finishing up laundry and dishes and putting the finishing touches on the cake for one of the guys in Ty's paintball squads birthday, the cupcakes for Shan's birthday and all the appetizers I had made from scratch. Then ...

I'm having a very good day--nothing in particular has happened but I am just in a good mood! :) Feelin' Good! This eating right thing is addictive! I feel great :) Pounds are starting to come off as well so that keeps the ball rolling too! :) Yesterday my parents came over to the house and while me and Ty were at work, checked off a few things on our never ending to-do list! The house is looking great and I'm very excited for Saturday to finally share it with our friends and family:) Since it's our first dinner party thing in our new home, I've decided to try some new appetizer recipes :) No frozen/store bought things. So hopefully they turn out good!! I think I have about 4 or 5 recipes on the go right now--I started the fillings, etc for them all last night and the kitchen was smelling mighty fine and nothing has even started cooking yet! lol Tonight I have to make homemade wonton wrappers since I can't find them in the grocery store pre-made and make th...

Guess we could start off today with a little weekend recap! :) Since Friday was Remembrance Day, us Government working folk got it as a holiday. In the morning I did a bit of laundry and watched a bit of the ceremonies on TV. After the moment of silence, I got dressed and headed into Ottawa to go to Rickis. I needed a new pair of black dress pants and a nice top since it was a night out for me and Ty that night :) I had to rush back to Embrun because I had my hair appointment at 1:00! I made it jusstttt in time :) I have to say, I love it there! it's my new hangout :) Expensive hangout, but at least I'll look better for it! haha I coloured my hair a dark shade of brown and cut 7 inches off. All of the dead hair is officially LONG gone! She said my hair is so healthy now so I can grow it out again and as long as I keep up with trims it should be thick and shiny. I guess the girl that usually does the resin nails wasn't there that day since she had a lung infection, so I m...

What a week! Part of me feels like it flew by and part of me feels like it just dragged on!! In honour of all of our war heroes, we get tomorrow off for Remembrance Day from work. Will be a quiet morning filled with reflection and respect. In the afternoon, I have made a hair appointment since I can never get an opportunity to do so it seems. Now, I haven't been to get my hair cut/done in a LONG time. Like so long I can't even remember--I think a little over a year actually--and that's not good. So I am going to make a conscious effort to get my hair done/trimmed on a regular basis :) The appointment is at 1:00 and it's for a full colouring (going darker) and a cut (going shorter--not too short though--I still love my long hair :)) and a style. I am also going to check out while I'm their the "Resin Nails" and see if I can get them done. They look so natural and gorgeous (I see ladies on the bus with them). May also look into some tanning minutes--sick o...

We Want to Know Wednesday (Again stolen from Stacy! lol) is all about beauty.. {1} What is your "can't go without it" beauty product/cosmetic? I can go without a lot of things. But I would say mascara and face cream would be the hardest to give up     {2} Do you apply make-up before or after doing your hair? When I'm getting ready, I usually blow dry my hair and then put on my makeup. If I do anything else with it, I do it after the makeup--but regardless, I always save mascara for last--so if I need to straighten my hair I do that and then put on mascara   {3} How would you describe your personal style? I don't have much of one. I just wear whatever I like and what I think looks good (unless I have to get dressed in the dark, which I do sometimes--then I just grab stuff lol).    {4} How long does it take you to get ready each day? On work days it takes about 30 mins from bed to car. If I'm getting ready to go out for an evening ...

I am getting so forgetful and bad at this! Things must be getting hectic I guess if I can't even find 10 minutes to write up a blog! lol (or I'm just plain forgetful). Things at work have been good--fairly steady/busy around here so it helps pass the time by a little better then when there's nothing to do! My parents were up a lot this past weekend so there wasn't much sitting around. My dad meant business and we got everything hung in the house--now I just have to tackle my closet and all our last minute to-do things. I know he wants to bring my aunts up soon to see the house, so I better get crackin'!! haha The problem with that of course being : after I work all day, come home, make dinner, clean up, work out and finally sit down, it's pretty well time for bed and I have ZERO energy left to do anything else! I guess that's what weekends are for :) Over the course of Sunday night, I was getting a little fed up with everything. I was annoyed by someth...

So--it's been a while! I guess I should hunker down and write a blog since it's been forever since I had the chance to do it! Not much has happened since my last blog, but at the same time, it feels like a TON has happened. Let's see--so my last blog was a little before Hallowe'en weekend, so here goes nothin'... On October 27, we had a bakesale at work, so the night of the 26th, I was a busy girl baking away! I made mini pumpkin spice cupcakes with a homemade cream cheese icing. They were very sweet, but good! Glad I made them mini or it would have been too sweet with the icing for a complete cupcake! So I made a batch for home and a batch for work. They must have gone over well because I only had 4 come back to take home after the sale was done :) I had October 28 off as I had a doctors appointment. After my appointment, I took advantage of my day and went and did a little shopping for the house. I picked up some metal wall art for the living room, a big tal...
