We've moved!!!

Hi guys!

Long time to write!  I've taken another unexpected hiatus because I've had something very exciting planned - I've moved online homes!  This has been a long time coming - I've felt for a couple years now that the blog was heading in a new direction and it sorely needed a facelift.  I tried to facilitate a move a few years ago but just didn't have all the tools and resources to do it properly...but now I do and it has happened!

I'm at a very different place in my life now compared to when I started this blog all the way back in 2007, and my new blog will reflect that.  Thank you SO much to all of you who've read me, be it just one article or every single once since Day One.  You mean the world to me and I hope you'll continue to read me at my new location.

The content will be largely the same - I'll be talking about everything that makes me happy and/or tickles my fancy, such as food, culture, travel, beauty, etc.  Please join me there!

Thank you for six years of support - here's to a wonderful new beginning!

Love,
Me
XOXOXO

-Is that Orgasm all over your face or are you just happy to see me?

This can be mine if I don't mind having, as Borat would say, wizard's sleeve lady parts.

A while ago, I received this photo from Sweetheart when he was at the Toronto Auto Show, followed by a text saying it’ll be mine once I bear his 7th child. Setting aside the fact that I am not a sow (and therefore refuse to produce that many offspring) –

Four years.  It’s been just over four years since my first love totally turned my life upside down, and I’ve never had any closure.  But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. 
I was recently lurking on Facebook when a mutual friend who never pops up on my feed made an appearance and mentioned him in a post.  I hadn’t been on his profile in over two years and, curious, I clicked on his name to have a look.  I feel…really complicated, and I just want to get this down in writing.

Today's the last day of my 30 Day Challenge - YAAAY!!!  I did it!

Thank you so, so much for being with me through it, whether you read just one post or every single entry for all 30 days - thank you!!! :D

Okay, today's entry is about what I learned this month.  What I learned this month is that

30DC29: My Favourite Plant

I briefly contemplated putting something deliciously edible here, like potatoes or cherries, or something that's multipurpose (and can make me pretty!), like aloe vera.  But, alas, I'm just a simple girl.  I love flowers.

I've received roses, tulips, tiger lilies, gerbera daisies, etc. and I love them ALL.  I'm really disappointed that somewhere down the line, the whole thing of giving flowers has been ruined.  I think there are two reasons for this:
