The Body Speaks

I've been dealing with a variety of illnesses/plagues/inconveniences lately.  I think it's my body's way of saying "getting your shit together and get back into running!" as well as "stop eating those g.d. peanut butter chocolate bars and all that delicious chocolate granola from healthy foods and more!"  The cracked tooth care of the granola may also be suggesting that.  I'm working on it, body.  Just get rid of this last plague completely and I'll promise I'll be better to myself.

In other news, care of yoga, I touched my toes for the first time.  IN MY LIFE.  Small Victory?  Not quite.  I've been trying to reach those things for years.  Thank you, Beth, and my partner in crime, Gillian, for all the yoga amazingness.  Sundays are one of the best parts of my week.

I hope this evening finds you all well.
Love and love and then some,

Fear and Loathing in Kitchener

The pain on the inside of my mouth has subsided...  aside from the one spot where I bit the inside of my cheek.  Turns out "You can eat immediately" does not mean "Eat immediately".  The coconut cookie bar (Healthy Foods and More: I both abhor and love you for this) was not eaten in a very classy way; coconut, chocolate and other crumbs in my car can attest to this.  Considering that half of my face was frozen until yesterday afternoon, I think I did okay.  I did bite my lip though and as it's a high traffic area, (care of my never-ending need to eat) it's quite raw and disgusting.  I don't really like people looking at me right now because I feel like it stands out and is the only thing you can see.  I don't like to feel ugly.  

There, I said it.  

Not shocking to any of you, I care what others think of me and my appearance constantly.  I read an article today claiming that selfie picture takers are all obnoxious, arrogant "please let me show you hot I am" douche bags.  Some of us selfie whores are just constantly seeking ACCEPTANCE because of our constant fear of rejection.

So many truths tonight.
Back to starting/finishing Catching Fire in a day.
Good night, friends.

Chocolate

Exhaustion has set in and my day has been quite boring.  Work was great, as always, but I've basically spent my evening in bed because I've been far too tired to really do much else.

So today, my smallest victory will have been chocolate covered granola and quinoa.  Mmm!

Have an amazing night.
Love,
Meaghan

And... Sleep

I'm super sleepy and my brain is defunct for the moment.  I feel the need to share that I'm just finishing off a tube of frozen chocolate chip cookie dough and about to fall asleep to some Grissom.

Love,

Back To School, Oh, Back To School

I hope you all sung that in your Billy Madison voice.

First day back...  A little bit more stressful than I had imagined it to be, but talking with parents during our parent interviews gave me a lot more confidence in myself and my ability to do so.  I've been talking to parents for 10 years, I'm not sure why I was worried!  I've totally got this.  The fact that I also have an amazingly competent teaching partner also helps immensely!  I look forward to having 3/4 of our class tomorrow and meeting all our little itty bitty Kindies!

Had a dinner date with Steph tonight at Jane Bond...  I was starving, so we pretty much arrived there as soon as the restaurant opened.  As a result, it would have been a long time to wait for my Cauliflour Curry, so I decided to be brave (for the second time today!) and try something new.  I also indulged in a Watermelon Lemonade Cocktail.  Not so delicious.  The Enchilada plate I ordered was also not delicious, but I still rammed it down my throat quickly care of my hunger.  I was ready for the bill, but Steph piped up, "Any vegan dessert?" to which I found out there was a Chocolate Mousse Pie.  Clearly, I spoke up.  "Done."  And let me tell you... Possibly the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life!  Pre-vegan (and a large reason I initially went vegan) I could down an entire box of Lindor chocolates.  You know how the middles are soft and creamy?  Clearly the best part.  THAT is what this vegan mousse pie deliciousness tasted like.  Every bite was like eating the middle of a Lindor.  I tried to carry on a conversation with Steph, but as I ate, I would close my eyes and just taste it.  My sentences would drop off mid-way through.  I actually had to keep myself from moaning in the middle of Jane Bond.  It was almost embarrassing, but it was just so good that I didn't even care! Did I get a slice to go?  Sure did! 

I get to relive it all again tomorrow.  I cannot even wait.

Love and positive energy!

Two For One

I'm not sure how I forgot to post yesterday, but happiness is all around care of the no bake chocolate pieces of heaven I made (and have almost already all consumed).

Today, I have 2 words: Glee 3D. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Singing is the best thing on the planet and I will always always always wish that I'd tried to pursue a life of singing. For now, I'll deal with piano... and staring at Cory Monteith's beauty.

Love for life.
