My wonderful husband

2014-07-07T19:31:00.003-04:00

I'm getting married soon and I'm having one of those "amazing" weddings most girls daydream about. I gotta day this planning business has been one hell of a ride. This planning shit sucks and I wish I didn't do it.

My significant other and I got engaged back in the fall and we decided that we would get married in July. Our date was decided based on whatever was available. We needed a Saturday during a warm month and that's what we got. If I could redo all of this, I would choose to go to City Hall or somewhere cool, and get married to my future husband there, alone.

As miserable as I have become during the planning process, the one person helping me get through this is my future Husband. I love him. More than anything in this world. I am extremely lucky to have met someone so wonderful and genuine. No matter how difficult I can be, he loves me unconditionally. I am one lucky girl to have someone who loves me as much as he does.

He is truly amazing. I love you David.

Leash Training my Kittens

So,

Recently, I got two kittens from the Toronto Human Society through PetSmart. One is a Siamese Mix and the other a Domestic Short Hair, apparently they are brothers?

Anyway I feel that it's important that they see what the world is all about, ie nature and what not. Dogs go out and have fun, why can't cats? My kitties are awesome, really nice and cute. They don't bite and I haven't trimmed their nails because they don't scratch intentionally.

I bought two harnesses and leashes for my kitties. My intial walking attempt failed, It failed because: I didn't realise the construction across the street would be so loud as to scare them, the leash was heavy as I tried to connect em...and...I didn't introduce the harness the way I was suppose to.

After researching the internet I discovered that the pace was too fast for these guys. So I slowed it down and showed them the porch first....

Domestic Shorthair:
- scared of the outside, was clutching the side of the steps.
- follows commands like "heel" and "come"
- will do anything for treats
- will copy the other kitty
- always wants love

Siamese Mix:
-was scared but not as scared as the other one.
-generally confident and loves everyone
-doesn't always follow commands, very stubborn
-will sometimes respond to treats
-loves affection

Today I took the second one to the park....he was scared but curious, I gave him treats during and after. He still loves me despite all the things he saw today.

Re: Ethopiques at Church/Dundas, Toronto, Canada

We tried Ethopian food today at Ethiopiques. I've tried it once before at a pot luck and I liked it. We used a groupon which allowed us to get $40 worth of food (one appetizer, 2 mains, and a desert) for a discounted price. Our order was as follows:

Samussa
Chicken Tibits
Chicken Stew
2 Jalapenos
Tiramisu
2 Beers

Verdict:

I liked the main dishes they were delicious, authentic with the perfect amount of spice. I didn't like the injera though. It was cold and it just didn't quite do it for me.
When I went to Central America came to feel the same way towards tortillas, you can only eat so many. In my ideal world, I would have had the two Ethopian chicken dishes with Indian tandoori buttered naan. Now that would be an epic meal!
