It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn…it’s 2010!

In the past, the prospect of a new year has brought hope, goals, resolutions, and clean slates. The beginning of this decade was inauspicious at best as I was laid up with a nasty case of strep throat. In fact, I was so under the weather that I actually forgot to bask in the novelty and freshness of not only a new year, but a new and promising decade. In order to regain that feeling, I’ve started a new project. I’m going to document what will surely prove to be a magical and glorious year by keeping a photo journal. Last year was full of changes, blessings, transitions, and missteps; however many of the details are muddy or forgotten. This year I will take a photograph every day and post it here with a brief description. Sometimes I feel like my life is a monotonous string of mornings and midnights, the hours in between being largely mundane and fleeting. But I know this isn’t true! I will seek out the blessings, the lessons, and the epiphanies and I will be grateful for them all. I once read that how you spend your time is how you spend your life. I want to make sure that I’m spending wisely and I want to remember, if not each and every moment, at least the notable ones. Dear friends, I invite you in for a peak into my world. It may not always be pretty or universally significant, but it’s mine…and that makes it worthwhile.

Happy New Year all!

*Note – I am not a photographer or the owner of a high-end camera.
The photo quality may be inferior, but the days these pictures represent are most certainly not.

March 9, 2010 - Kryptonite Bunnies

Over the past couple of weeks I have been riding on the healthy eating train and it feels great! I’m not as tired and sluggish. I’ve been sleeping better and I just feel more energized. I haven’t really seen any results on the scale yet but I’m not concerned. It’s enough just to feel good. But now we are approaching spring and all the Easter chocolate is in the stores. The one thing I can’t resist this time of year are Cadbury Caramilk Bunnies. These are my kryptonite. If you have never tried one, do yourself a favour...DON'T! The caramel to chocolate ratio in these confections is simply perfect. Today I spotted the evil bunnies in Shoppers Drug Mart. I had no money on me so I left the store, went to my car, scrounged up some change, went BACK into Shoppers, and bought the bunnies. And I’m ok with that. I can’t deprive myself of everything, right?




Then for dinner, Jenn came over and she made this delicious taco mixture. Extra lean ground beef cooked with taco seasoning, sautéed onions and peppers, sprinkled with a bit of cheese, and served over brown rice. Mmmmmm….

    i took the bunnies you left me, and put them in the freezer. let us see whether i eat them before we see each other again -- if i manage to refrain it will be a nice treat off-season. :)
