On cloud 9 feelin’ fresh faced and fancy free

I just want to pop in here this evening to tell you all that I feel like I’m on cloud 9 right now.

A weight has been lifted off my shoulders which seemed like it was on me since September/October of last year. Without getting into too much detail for personal reasons, I said what was needed to be said and it felt amazing. I feel amazing and so very proud of myself for telling it like it is. Even if I got a little purple in the face and needed to step away to “take a breather” after all was said and done.

vitamin-water-zeroThen. I sat back down — cracked open a bottle of vitamin water zero and enjoyed. So fruity, so juicy. I felt like I was getting hugs and kisses hence the perfect name, for the perfect opportunity to drink it.

Have you guys ever tried this out? I’ve had the original vitamin water’s before but there’s new ones out with zero calories. Or something. It’s delicious. I reserve them for my 3pm snack time at work. I do not share.

I tweeted the other day this funny one liner (if I do say so myself) to vitamin water:

tweetThey apparently loved my enthusiasm. Psh, who doesn’t? ;)

vitamin-water_zeroOh the triple threat. Three delicious flavors (go-go, xoxox, and resilent-c). Three different flavor parties in my mouth. Honestly? I had no idea what to expect when drinking it. I thought it was going to taste either like watered down juice, or water with a hint of flavor. But it’s thirst quenching goodness that my taste buds are happy that I fulfill.

bulk-barn-valentines-day-caI went to Bulk Barn right after work and picked up some sweets for my sweet for Valentines Day tomorrow ;) Isn’t the bag the cutest?

Anyway. Enough blabbering on. Have a great night folks!

Shrove Tuesday

Happy Pancake Tuesday!

shrove-tuesday

It was tradition growing up in my household that we had pancake Tuesday on the night of Shrove Tuesday, which is the day before Ash Wednesday. I wasn’t the biggest fan of pancakes, but what was inside them made me excited for the yearly event. My Mom always put coin money in our pancakes growing up.

I spoke to my Boss about the money in the pancakes thing while we were on lunch together at the mall, and she had never heard of it! Perhaps it’s just a Newfoundland thing after all?

Either way, I had to keep the tradition going sans coin, since the Boyfriend and I come from The Rock! So tonight I made some fruity pancakes with chopped fresh berries.

Inside the pancake mix I added oatmeal, and blueberries. So many flavors happening in my mouth.

What did you make for supper tonight?

Saturday morning breakfast

Good Saturday morning to you all!

Saturday-BreakfastI was up really early this morning cooking up a scoff for the Boyf and I. He has to work every single day for an extended period of time, perhaps even through Christmas. So I thought I’d send him on his merry way to work, with a full tummy.

What does everyone have planned for the rest of your very last Saturday before Christmas? I loaned the Boyfriend my car since winds are gusting up to 70km/hr and it’s pretty bitter cold out there with a temperature drop. I’m supposed to go on my solo run this week, since my coach can’t go with me. I don’t think I’ll be going out today, and save it til tomorrow. I may pop by Starbucks later since I have a free grande holiday drink to use up :)Saturday-Breakfast2
