Ok so I have been absent for a fair bit and I apologize. It is largely due to my back and alot of pain I have been experiencing sadly. It has kept me away from sitting at the computer alot. But I have managed to do some stuff that I would still like to blog about despite it being a bit late. So here is what I have been up to the past few weeks.
I guess the first thing that I would like to blog about is the farthest back and that would be my birthday! On March 28th. I have mixed feelings about birthdays now and this year was better than my last but still a bit painful. lol My brother in law called it my quarter life crisis last year and I suppose that is a good name for it. I am sadly nearing 30yrs old and my plans that I had for my life have not happened and quite often that is very depressing to me but I try to remind myself that my life just took a different turn (or many) than I had planned on and I just have to deal with it and move on. I can't feel my life is over because I am getting close to 30 and I haven't gotten married or started a family or even gotten my own place. I have been through alot and I suppose I can be proud of myself for making it through what I have. In the grand scheme of things my life is what I have lived and sometimes it isn't what I planned and it doesn't mean that my life was put on hold or my life is passing by. I can't say why or for what reason I have gone through the stuff I have and some say God allows the stuff to make us stronger but I don't know. All I do know is that I need to make the most of what I have because this is my life and if I do not then I will regret it. It isn't to say that I live the best I can all the time and I do get depressed sometimes but I try not to. Anyways back to my birthday. I had a good time with my family and we went to Tony Romas where I got a free meal for my birthday and then we went to Movie Gallery and got a free movie for my birthday also! Birthday freebies make a birthday more worth going through don't you think? lol We rented 2012. lol What can I say? It is just one of those movies you have to see to either mock and laugh at or enjoy. I would like to blog about this movie further so I will leave it at that for now. I also got a chocolate cake which was yummy. It HAS to be chocolate. lol
My Birthday cake
My birthday cake redone. lol We couldn't leave it looking like an Easter cake could we? lol
I suppose the next thing I would like to talk about is my trip to London Drugs. lol I made another trip there on March 31 to use up coupons expiring on March 31. So I paid 6.00 and used 17.00 in coupons and it would have been even better but the Flameless Luminaire candles were out of stock sadly. I could have gotten it free which was 18.00 in coupons but sometimes sad things happen to good coupons. lol
Next up is Easter! I made a card for my family, I decorated an egg using Ukranian decorating methods for my family and we went to a church in town. The Ukranian egg took quite awhile because I can't sit up for very long periods at a time but I managed to get it done before Easter! Pictures are at the bottom of this post. I would like to talk about the church for a moment. I don't mean to be mean but the people seemed to be half asleep. I mean it is Easter and the songs were about Christ rising from the dead and us being saved and everything and it is so amazing and people just didn't seem to have any excitement. Is it odd to think that people would be excited about it? But this is probably the way that the people in this church worship and everyone has their own way of worshiping so I shouldn't be rude about it. The sermon was ok but I found myself questioning a bit of what he said. I suppose it is good to question what is said? I don't mean to be offensive but it all bothered me. I don't want to sound judgemental either-I don't know these people so I probably should stop at this. On a lighter note, I also made an Easter bunny cake and it is a bit of a tradition in our house and I will post a pic of it. It was chocolate of course. lol
Lastly, I had another appointment with my specialist on Monday. It went fairly well but I have to get another brace and that is not what I hoped to hear. Though I also knew that I have been dealing with alot of extra pain lately and that something wasn't quite right. I also got to see my nephew and my sister and broter in law and they are all doing well and my nephew is growing soooo much!!! He is almost 4 months old and he will stand on our lap and we just have to support him. He loves to look at things and examine them and I think he is very smart! lol Maybe I am biased. lol The sad part is that because of Sunday and Monday, my back got in terrible shape and by Monday night I was in a ton of pain and was getting multiple spasms in my back at the same time and was very unpleasent. I spent most of Tuesday and Wednesday laying down trying to gain back my energy and get my back to calm down. In some ways it is funny because on Tuesday I was moving more like a 80yr old because I was in so much pain and so stiff. The stiffness of course is helped by moving around which I tried to do without causing too many spasms. Ok so I think I am basically caught up now! lol I also learned that the RCMP have now closed the highway. You know the weather is bad when the roads get closed. Well thanks for reading!
The Easter Bunny Cake we make each year-I like to get creative a bit with it. lol
I also decorated an egg using Ukranian decorating methods. I am not really great at it but I enjoy it.
