Healthy Living

yes, being healthy is my new "thing" in life. It's actually both mine and jamie's. We love it. we go to the gym 3 times a week together, we eat healthy, mostly low carb, or actually, healthy carb, with lots of veggies and meat. we rarely eat out, mostly to save money, but also, we enjoy cooking.

And not only just plain boring chicken and brocoli. We use as many different spices and cooking methods as we can, and we are always on the lookout to learn new recipies and different ways of preparing and cooking things. we feed off each others passion for cooking as well.

We have bought 2 of those large excersise balls, one for my size and one for his size and we are currently putting together a Saturday morning program for us to do, so we don't need to go to the gym that day. I also bought two 5 pound dumbells (the soft kind) for us to work on some core strength training.

I also can't wait to get onto a basketball court and have jamie teach me some moves!

Performance

This past weekend I had an amazing performance with my dance group. Thank you to all who came to watch, and thank you to all who supported me. Anyone who came knows that it was an amazing performance! It was so amazing infact, that tonight we are performing for a new celebratory international day: International Language Day. And it will be infront of big wigs, Dalton McGuinty and mayor David Miller! I know that we will "wow" them!

On a sad note, my computer is sick...and I'm not sure what the problem is. It wouldn't start up again and I'm praying to the good Lord in the sky that its not a virus and that all my stuff is still on the hard drive. So I have no beautiful pictures to show you. :(

On the upside, my stepmother sent me a link to the pictures that were taken back in Jan of my dad's surprise 50th B-day party, and you can see fabulous pictures of moi and ma familia!



Lastly, I am luckily going to the autoshow this weekend with Jamie and one of his friends, which should be tons of fun, and at the beginning of March, we're goin to see the Morgan Heritage concert at the koolhaus! wwoooooo!!

alright, thats it for now. back to sleeping, i mean working! ;)

The Big V

As notified by my good friend mark, I have not posted in quite sometime! I have actually been happily busy at work and have not felt like sleeping, or crashing my head into the computer, so yes, happily busy.

Yesterday was Valentines Day, a "fake holiday" as Jamie has told me. (He also doesn't celebrate Halloween, or Santa, or the Easter Bunny like the good Christian he was taught to be). He says that Valentines Day is veryday. And then i said, no, its only Valentines Day, everyday for us, not for everyone else!

But low and behold, on this "Hallmark" holiday, I was surprised with a beautiful rose and the most scrumptious, delicious, home-cooked, gourmet meal EVER!!

Heres the menu:

(get ready to salivate people)

Appetizer - Blue cheese, cream cheese and
black olive stuffed mushroom caps.

Tantalizer - Boiled, then breaded and baked,
extra-large scallops on skewers.

Entree - Barley and vegetable risotto
stuffed bell peppers, with cheese.
- Onion, chive and garlic cream
cheese stuffed chicken rolls,
wrapped in bacon with a sherry,
green onion and mushroom sauce.

Dessert - Large strawberries soaked in
sweet sherry, dipped in a
creamy, buttery, dark chocolate
sauce.

It was heaven on earth and took him almost the whole day to make! I'm going to make people so jealous today with my lunch (as usual). Thanks again baby, I luv you and your talented cooking.

What did YOU do for V-day?
