My store is closed. Today was the absolute last day of me working there. It's been a very tiring past few weeks.. and now it's over. My emotions are burnt out. I'm tired.. and now i have a couple of weeks off to sort shit out and get some stuff done before I go back t0 my new place. oh yah.. and LOTS Of relaxation. : ))))
My throat is sore.. I hope it was just cuz of all the dust from cleaning and not me getting sick. that would kinda suck. Anyhoo, bye bye store. and bye bye month of May. *mUaH*
I saw stars falling all around her head...
My new ink. I got it done on Friday in Barrie.. kinda on a whim. I had some extra money from my vacation pay and decided to finally go and get it. I'm chicken shit though and a wuss when it comes to pain.. but whatever. i love it much!!! :)))))))
This is my curse...
In exactly one week, my store will be closing.
I can't believe it's been 14 years since it first opened and I was just hired, barely a teenager.
With a mix of emotions swirling around, there's pretty much nothing else left to say except
Goodbye. So long. Auf wiedersehen. Farewell.
Helpless, with nothing to say....

The Return of Saturn Assessing My Life...
At 30 years old, the planet Saturn has done a complete rotation and returns back to the spot it was on the day you were born.
If any critical life decisions need to be made.. I'd say now is about the time to make them.
Especially with so many changes coming into play right about now. So, let's roll the dice and see where they land. I never was a gambling girl... but what is life without risk? In bocca al lupo!
Crepi il lupo!

You make me feel like a shooting star
you make me feel like a porno star
you hold me closer still
when i get paranoid
you give your hand to hold
when i lose control
you're like my compass sound
we always find our way
you bring your smile and wipe
away my shitty day
this sudden alchemy
has got me holding on
stand by auxiliary
signals holding strong
you make me so content
with everything i am
you bring me up and in
when i'm down and out
and with no confidence
when i'm strung out on doubt
if i'm not making sense
you sought the riddles out
you're like my compass sound
we always find our way
you bring your smile and wipe
away my shitty day
this sudden alchemy
has got me holding on
stand by auxiliary
signals holding strong
you're so my everyday
you're so my sweetest love
you're so the greatest change

Killing in the name of .............. art?
This is horrendous. This man claims he let a dog starve to death in the name of art... and to prove a point. Maybe it's just me... but this is beyond twisted. You be the judge of it.

Did you marry the right person?
During one of the seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?'
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends. Is that your husband?'
In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?'
Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.
Here's the answer:
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.
Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... because it's happening TO YOU.
People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept of my feet.' Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.
Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.
The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.
At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.
Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.
But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.
Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.
Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable. .. you can 'make' love.
Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... not just a feeling. Singles may ponder on this too....for future reference!

Been thinking so much about you all lately as I am back in the studio again with the boys trying to write some new music. What an amazing few years it has been. So inspired going through the dance record phase of my life. Thank you so much for all your support! The tour was incredible. We ended up doing over 100 shows around the world and it was so rewarding and again inspiring. Thank you to everyone who came out to see it...memories for life! Great to be home with with all my boys. Feels crazy to be pregnant all over again!!!!! We have been spending every day up in the little studio in our house trying to write music. My favorite part so far is just seeing the guys everyday and hanging out. We have so much fun together. The songwriting part is a bit slow on my part...I think it has something to do with the baby in my belly but I'm sure it is all of the process and I really believe this could be the most inspired No Doubt record so far. Cant wait to see what happens.
All my love

Hydration has never been so yummy!
Tired of drinking just plain ol' water to hydrate? Well, here are two of my staple items that I drink on a daily basis. They're fabulous, super great for you.. and they taste fantastic! You can pretty much get them at most convenient stores.
Aloe vera drink: Ok seriously.. this stuff is so fucking DELICIOUS. it has these little floaties in it that remind me of the green grapes my neighbour used to grow on his vines. (it's available in sugar free in some places.. but i prefer the regular).
Aquafina Plus+ with antioxidants (vitamin water): I know there's a bunch of these so-called vitamin waters flooding the market in the past little while but my favourite for the time being is this one by Aquafina.. which is interesting.. because i dislike regular Aquafina water. It seems to have this tinny taste to it all the time. Anyhoo, the vitamin water has antioxidants in it as well.. and it comes in three flavours (that i've seen so far) Pomegranate Cherry, Passionfruit Citrus, and Blackcherry Grape.. which is my favourite!
I am, however, slightly displeased.. as they may be discontinuing it and have just the vitamin water (minus antioxidants) which, from what i've heard, doesn't taste nearly as good for some unknown reason.
: (( booo urns!
figures..
anyhoo, I'm off to sleepy town. So, go get yerself some good drinkage and feel fantatic!!!
;))))

Love is a temporary madness.
"When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? But it is!"
~ Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Festa di San Giuseppe.
_______
Oh St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh St. Joseph, do asssist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for me.
-Ancient Prayer to St Joseph
_______
Today is my name saint day. I always remember it because it's one of the major ones they celebrate and my parents always buy me a bunch of stuff and i get all sorts of hugs and kisses and pastries.. hehe
I love how my star sign is the sign of the Virgin Mary and my name is the name of the father. How the hell did that pan out? I guess I'm just that saintly... ; )) hehe
Anyhoo.. so, today is my day (and the pope's day too!hehe) and a million other people under the name of Giuseppe.. so, go celebrate it and eat some Zeppole!!
