I really do Love my bed! Sometimes I hide under the covers and just lay there and Dream! Or I watch hours of Netflix, or cuddle down in the warmth and read endless stories and of Course I sleep,,, A lot.
Have I ever really said that when I worked at chick Allan's, I mostly worked afternoon? I'm almost always in bed until 10:00 am. sometimes later if I stayed up past 2 am,
Since John now has a job, We're in bed at a acceptable time because I fully admit when he wasn't working, we'd stay up late but when he has to be up at 6:45, We're usually turning off the light around 11:00/11:30. Then when he gets up, I wake up and then fall back to sleep after he's left.
Christmas is finally behind us! and I think everyone enjoyed their presents. John's mother loved her owl measuring cups and Doctor who shirt, While Jake was pretty happy about his straight Razors with all the little things with it. Brendan loved his whiskey. Bailee and Lucas could really care less with what I gave them. but My sister loves it. she and Brendan are going to go to Saskatoon together while I have a Movie night with the kids. Though I did it because I didn't have money and i figured I could plan it out to when I did have some money so I could spoil them with Pizza, slurpees and a rental movie. but my sister wants it before the 13th. And Money has been tight.. I haven't gotten to pay Decembers bills yet even but I will make it work somehow.
I got some interesting things. Halo Risk( we can't understand the rules so we haven't played) Futurama Monoplay( I won) Two Lovely Prisims, A bird feeder, Chocolate!, Froggie Grip things for the tub, Etc.
Have I mentioned I <3 My Love's Family. They're So Good to me.
I think I got over ambitious the other day. I mixed up Dough and filling for perogies. but ended up sticking it in the fridge and stuck it in the fridge and haven't finished it yet. I always got out Beef to make mini Meat tarts and haven't done that even but we did make Fresh Pasta and freeze so we can enjoy it three more times. I've also made Fresh Flax Bread which rose really well but has a large bubble... I think i didn't punch my dough down well enough in the first rising. As I waited for my bread to rise, I simmered Dried beans on the stove and turned them into Refried Beans! which are insanely yummy, somewhat healthy and just down right delicious!
Tonight I'll be making up some Fresh Tortillas and making Cheesy Pork and refried bean Quesadillas. with a nice Spicy Chipotle Sauce!
I am still unsure on what I shall do. I know I don't really want to work in the local restaurants. Rookies(BV) has a temperamental and unfriendly atmosphere while Johnny's Bistro(Pioneer) is dirty. And well. Big Lou's is just disgusting, on a Second note. Did you know you Can Check out the Health Inspection of each restaurant in Town! Link It will tell you the issues that they have. One Restaurant has a issue with rodents while a few have troubles with being kept Clean!
I have applied at Co-op, ware house one, Sobeys, Rona and a few other places. A couple only offer part time work and minimum wage.
I regret applying at sobey's because he told me that if I was hired, I would have to remove all visible piercings... all 20 of them. and I'm not sure if I am willing to do that. I adore my piercings and feel like they really help me show who I am on the inside.
It is New Year's Eve. This is the Rare time that I've actually had it off. for the Past 8 years I have worked til 11:00ish. Last year I sat and had a drink with My love and his mother. This year My love and I are staying home, Enjoying some shrimp cocktails and drinking some spiced Rum with Coke.
We were supposed to go out with my friend Shaun but he was a no show. Im kind of worried about him actually. Last I talked to him he was driving home from Saskatoon... Hopefully he got home just fine.
I don't make new year revolutions because never once in the past have I stuck to them so I don't do it anymore. I mostly just think of the New Adventures that I'll maybe get to Experience.
Though Remember How I talked about Making Mozza in my last Post. I've been learning about Rennet which is enzymes from a baby calfs stomach.(eww) They know use ones
that are grown in labs. But you can also make it yourself using plants! Which I find kind of
interesting and I shall be trying it. One that is best for soft cheese like ricotta and cottage
cheese is the stinging Nettle? which I've never heard of but probly seen. Then Purple
thistle which I do know, So This summer I will Try to make a plant Rennet!
K my text is acting all Funny. So I'm taking it as a sign that I need to go now.

Unemployed
Chick Allan's is closing today. Tonight when I'm done my shift. It will be my last.
As much as I complained sometimes, I really enjoyed working there.... Minus Steve. And it was my life. Yes at one point I strayed away. I needed a change... A Break to make sure I was where I needed to be. While I was away, I thought of chick Allan's constantly. And when I went back, It was wonderful, Almost Like I had never even left! except the fact I got down graded to closing every night but I could handle that. I worked there since May 2006. There were up and downs.
The first one I remember was when Shannon announced she was selling. I told her at some point i was going to start applying at different places and she asked how I could ever consider leaving her and I told her she was leaving us so how was it different?
I have no clue what I shall do next. Where I'll go. The only thing I've really done so far is apply at the co-op grocery store. I have no clue where else I'll apply either. I constantly question if I will be Happy there?
On other news We are into our new to us Place. It's a actual House! Newer stuff except it looks ghetto on the outside but the Landlord will be putting new siding on it this Summer and I'm hoping to build a deck on the back. All the boxes are unpacked.... Mostly. a few I have no clue where to put. Yesterday I hung all my Beautiful Prisms. Unfortunately my new to me house only has one Window that is perfect to create a million Rainbows. And the worst part it's Small. and the most horrible part. the trees and the house beside my place. Block it off pretty quick but I have rainbows for a bit in the afternoon.My Living room window is large and in the morning it gets enough Sun that I could hang some. But from 9 to 11:00ish. there are rainbows...But who wakes up that early? Lol .All in all, I get rainbows for a bit. once in the morning and once in the evening.
But when John is putting windows into the trailer. I'm going to have windows on both sides and make sure we park in the best spot so I can have rainbows always.
I really don't know what it is about Rainbows but even when I'm feeling down. Fill a room with little rainbows floating around and any unhappiness is gone for that time. And I just sit in awe of how beautiful it is. I forget every single worry and problem may I have for that short time.
I've given up buying bread. I've been making Flax bread. I do have a issue with my loaves not turning out really big but they are tasty and I love the crunch of Flax. they are still light and fluffy. I have a knife with a guide on the side so I even Cut them Straight! :o.
Though I have recently been reading that Flax isn't a super Food like it was once believed to be. I will look into soon
My next project is making my own Laundry Detergent(Did I mention my new to me washer is insanely old and doesn't give the option for cold water! ) and dishwasher detergent.
The website claims that it will equal about 4 Cents a load for the laundry and 3 cents for the dish washer. Which I find just amazing. It's good for sensitive skin as well. I just have to get money to get the ingredients. Oh and by the way, I attached Links.
I already make my own cleaners so why not keep up all the DIY's. :)
I have also been reading about home made mozza cheese. I am very interested in and may attempt that but It is undecided still. I think it would be nifty to serve a lasagna that I made everything from scratch. Home made noodles. with a layer of homemade cottage cheese or link , topped with fresh made meat sauce and Fresh mozza. Dreamy!
John's Uncle Scott came for a visit. He is from Ontario but his semi Truck broke down in Saskatoon. He got to try out the Pull Out sofa that we got when we moved in. I never remembered to actually feed him Lunch ever... I offered him breakfast when I got up but by Noon, I'm thinking about work or something already at work. Where I have Soup.....and Bacon for my first meal of the day. Then I'd make supper at 9:30. I think he prolly thought us odd. I made some good stuff.
Fruit stuffed Pork chops with a berry Glaze, Stuffed Yorkies( Pulled Beef, creamy horseradish topped with Gravy) and the best one Beef Enchildas( From scratch enchilda sauce, tortillas and yum)
Christmas is almost here! 3 more days. My love has let me shake all my presents! But I remain clue less on what he has gotten me other then random hints he has dropped trying to get me to give up the information of what I've gotten him.
I had tried to get him a bass for Christmas but the deal fell through. Maybe for his Birthday.?
I have finished shopping almost. I don't have anything for the Children though. I might end up getting them some Candy.
The things I ordered back in November finally arrived. I pick them up on Monday. I was getting very anxious that they wouldn't be here on time. Though there is a mysterious package that I am unsure on what it is. but knowing me i did order it and forgot i had ordered it.
I know I talked myself Silly about the Benefits of Honey and i still hold to it But I just can't get into using it for Shampoo! I tried it twice. I missed the Bubbles. My hair felt clean but it looked greasy and dull. No Shine or anything. All the sites claim after a few months your hair will look amazing but I don't think I can do it.
I have issues with my home made tooth paste . It tastes Great and my mouth feels sparkly clean But I am worried its not doing all it should because we ended up adding alot of Honey. Let me expand on that a little. The recipe we made consisted of Coconut oil, baking soda, peppermint and honey. Coconut oil is amazing, heals, whitens, cleans. Baking soda is the grit that helps get rid of the stuff stuck to your teeth, peppermint for flavor and honey which is always beyond amazing to sweeten it and help with antibacterial(blah, blah,blah) cause if you've never tasted straight baking soda. it's gross. Pure salt. and it seems John and I can't handle saltly. So it feels like whole thing is Honey. it doesn't do what normal tooth paste does. it doens't bubble and I msis it. So I tend to go back to my normal tooth pasta a little to often.
I still wash my face with Honey. I love it. My face feels so Insanely Clean when I'm done.
I do use coconut oil still randomly but after I put it on my legs, I can't get dressed right away or lay on the bed or it gets stuff greasy and my face stays shiney to long and I'm not a huge fan.
In going non processed foods. I've been trying to lay off buying tomato sauce.
So many recipes call for it. and I use it as a base for most of my sauces including my gravy. Last month I tried to make my own. and it tasted good. Then i froze it. It didn't freeze well.
I could use tomato paste as a base for a lot of things as well So I will attempt tomato paste next. After I Find the perfect combo of recipes to try.
I
Though I made up a huge batch of honey Mustard sauce that should last my Love at least two months if I'm Lucky.
I've written to Much while still having alot to say. But that's just how I roll it Seems.
Merry Christmas for those that celebrate.

It's been a stressful time recently. John hasn't been working and since Boston Pizza has opened, It's been slow at work so I've been getting more part time hours. Trying to pay for anything on a part time wage is hard. It seems as soon as money is in my account, it's gone the same day to pay for Bills and rent. It's dumb.
John wants a job that will let him come home every Night which I'm all for because I Love having him home. I hate when he is away. The House is Creepy and I miss cuddles a lot.Among other things ;) But finding that job seems to be tough. I'm not sure where he has applied, I just know that he doesn't have a job yet. He will find a job soon I'm sure of it. I have faith. <3
About two Weeks before Boston Pizza was officially open they had, Test Nights. Practicing for the big day. So two weeks before they opened, we started to Slow down. The day they opened. It was completely dead. It's Like when Big Lou's Open. Everyone wanted to try it. Then they found out how horrible it was and came back. Even I get sucked into wanting to try the new things when they come to town. I remember going there for my second date with "The Virgin" before I met john. The meal was horrible. we got there at 8:15 and they gave us a dirty look and said they were getting ready to close but seated us anyways. He had Chicken Fingers, fries and salad. I had A chicken parm, Fries and soup to start. The Soup was tomato broth with frozen vegetables tossed in. Before we even finished our Sad starters, Our Meals arrived My Parm which had been deep fried was raw on the inside. but since it was a second date, I said nothing, I just cut it up and pushed it round on my plate. I later found out that's all the virgin actually ate was pizza from Big Lou's and insane amounts of Pepsi. He thought it was amazing but I tasted his mothers cooking. I realized he didn;t know what real food was. Anyways back to where I Started. Boston Pizza. John and I went there as a treat after changing 6 signs in One day then freezing our Butts off picking up two other ones a few days later.
Starter Ceaser, Pizza Rolls, Calamari, Spinach Dip and panera(sp) bread. At one point she asked how we liked the pizza rolls because she never tried them and I replied over processed. I think she has no clue what processed even meant because she took that as a good thing. But Later as we paid the bill she asked how everything was and I said Fine and she questioned why i said fine. I said I cooked better.She was offended. john said I was being rude. but If you question it and don't actually want to know. Don't ask.!
Things have been stressful because as of December 22, Chick Allan's is closing and steve has no answer of if we will be opening in the new year. He promised that I would have work til almost the end of December. There is packing to do. A lot of it. It will be moved into storage but hopefully soon he will tell us the staff, What happens. Some staff has no clue we're closing, Some know what is happening but it doesn't seem to Click that they may be jobless before to long. But even if he finds a new place to open at, It will be a couple months before he opens. Every one will be laid off but he claims he has a plan for the main staff(4). I pray often that we will reopen. Chick Allan's has been my life since 2006 minus 3-4 months when i went off to B.C/Alberta.
Christmas is sneaking up and fast which is unfortunate because with lack of money, It's hard to get the gifts I'd like for people. I got great things for John and his Mother. Things I know they will Love. I ordered everything online in November. Nothing has arrived yet!!!! John has gotten the gifts he ordered already. So where the F%$#@ are mine!
I have yet to buy a gift for John's father and for Brendan. But I know what im getting his dad but Im clue less on what to get Brendan.
