I did it... I was convinced...

This mint coloured perfection you see at the top of this post... is what some would call this a Green Monster.

Now I have never heard of this particular item before, until I read one of my more favorite blogs from a fellow mommy over at http://www.fabbrunette.com/ ; my monster was slightly different than the one she posted... mine didn't have flax seed.

It turned out fairly good, I drank almost every bit of it! There was a little left and I got busy with the girls and somehow forgot it on the side of the table. So look at that a surge of Potassium, Calcium and Iron all in one shot. I will not complain...

I keep getting fitter and healthier!

We keep pushing through with internal change...

But in case you thought I was about to get all metaphysical on don't worry, I am just talking about the changes and renos we are doing to the house where and when we can.

Having to fix things in the house with 2 toddlers is challenge enough, having very distinctive tastes from one and other (the husband and I). But we brought home 2 faucets and the one won over the other. I lied, it didn't win in a democratic kind of vote; I picked with all of us sitting in the bathroom.

Best part the longer it sits there, everyone has begun to agree with me. Do you like my new faucet?

Where have I been?

I have been busy enjoying the summer as I had informed you earlier... but in a huge faith in myself, my ability and my knowledge I finally decided to do something I had been thinking about for over a year.

I am running for city council here in my city of Toronto. Pretty crazy if you ask me... having a hard time taking in the scope of what this means. I am not a title kind of girl, but I wear mother proud even though I don't think I am the picture in the encyclopedia in which would best describe one. I am a wife, but also not a fitting title either.... but don't misconstrued my words. But my husband and I coexist in our relationship, I don't beckon to his needs, and he doesn't do for me... we just are together. Wife being part of the situation... but not what defines me!

But today, I had to come to terms with me being... oh God I have to say it, a Politician! I prepared my facebook campaign page and I had to provide a description and Politician was the only one that fit well into what I needed my page to describe.

But I don't know if I can begin to believe I am that person... I want to be a councilor, I want to defend the neighbourhood I grew up in, that I go to the gym, dinners, coffees, bars, walks, parks and pools. My favorite location in all of Toronto is in my ward..., how else could I do it all justice but to stand up for it and be more than just some person who wants to gain a political career.

So while I begin to go through the motions perhaps I will find it inside of me to be OK with this particular title... but it will be interesting to get there.

Is this wrong?

Is it wrong that I want to see this movie... not sure why?!?!?!? Actually it's probably for my love of Jason Statham, not sure why but I think this guy reads total sex appeal.



But this is on the list of movies I would like to see... you guys seeing any good movies this summer???

Don't you love it...

You know that feeling, when you are working out and you are really starting to notice the difference in your body.

I am seriously suffering from some serious workout HIGHS! Yeah you read that... it's almost become addictive. Here I am killing myself for an hour, sweating to death... come home and all I want to do is keep stretching, keep lifting, squatting, lunging!

I think I have an illness... but it's because come next week, for some reason the weights become hard to lift again, the muscles sore and tender! And you want to kick yourself that you are sore all over again because you didn't kill yourself working out all weekend.

But weekends are for family around here, I kill myself physically during the week.... but my weekends are for events (friendly ones, you know birthday parties, showers and such) or shopping excursions for silly things like clothing and food for us in the house.

But til then... another workout day tomorrow... a hard core muscle conditioning class.

Cheers!~

Busy is the bee who collects honey all day....

I feel like every once and a while I am posting an "I'm sorry" post because days will go by with nothing new added and then I am dying to find something so wonderfully interesting to share.... but I am stagnate.

But I have been busy.... have a million little posts that I have coming and some that have come and gone and weren't added because the images that are to go along with them have somehow disappeared.

Disappeared! No my camera/laptop have not wiped away the beautiful images that I am referring to... I have daughters with sticky fingers. Not sure which, but guessing my youngest child was tinkering with my digital camera as they have been permitted to do so; ( I own this cute but seriously dense Kodak camera that is so perfect, great little zoom capability and truly withstands my children) but it came to take the memory card out of it put it on my computer and upload series of photos that had been taken. It is not there... not sure where it has disappeared to but it is amiss!

And let's be honest you aren't blog reading like you were months ago, not because I am not posting more frequently... but because it's summer, it's beautiful--- you are at the park, the beach, the pond, the pool! And you should be! Especially if you live somewhere near me... where winter comes and stays FAR too long. So get out there people, go have fun with your families, your friends, your high heel stilettos, your colourful eyeshadow.... rock it people! Make sure you get those toes done, the shave on, the waxing and have one too many drinks.

Until you return from the fun in August.... I will spend all my time spending it with girls who are getting married, we have 2 next month, but bachelorette events, shower, dress fittings and so on. But I will be sharing....

Cheers!~

and for fun that's my eldest having fun with me and the camera.... she really is a HAM!
