Twitter! It's a wonderful thing...

So, seeing as I haven't written a post in a while, I figured I'd better get at least SOMETHING down. This one is mentioning a few amazing people I have come to know via Twitter. What a crazy world that Twitter is, yet amazing all the same. I'm going to give a few mentions of a couple pretty awesome folk who I adore and have "met" through Twitter. If you're on Twitter, you should follow them. End of story.

Let's start with @stygldpnyby - This wickedly amazing lady, I actually work with her. I'm pretty sure besides a nod or 'hello' at work, we mainly started talking because someone stumbled upon the other on Twitter (probably me, I'm such a creeper) and was all, Hey, I know you! And then the madness started. She's fantasmically awesome and a great lady to boot. The scary thing is that she is a lot like me. So if you like me, you will like her. Pretty much. I think we have decided that we were a highly frowned upon lesbian couple in the early 1600s in a past life. Tis why we are so awesome and alike. It's not every day you can find someone (of the same gender!) that you can relate to so well and have such a quick, mutual connection. What a great friend!

Now to @grempel - If you ever want to be set up for a wicked 'that's what she said', he's your man. And I have abused this multiple times. I honestly don't remember how we started "twittering" one another (that's what she said!) - I think someone (a mutual "Twitterer") asked me if I knew this guy or if I was related to him because we have the same last name and we're both awesome. I'm like pff, I have no friggen clue who this dude is, but me being the creeper, followed him anyways. Turns out he is pretty rad and now it's no coincidence that we share the same last name, because clearly Rempels are just awesome. We have a mean caffeine addiction, a witty and wild sense of humor, and great music taste. Surprisingly enough, I doubt we ARE related (maybe SOMEWHERE down the line..), but the last name proves this dude is my 'twitter brother'. He's a pretty cool cat.

One of my recent favorites - @MauStCha (actually much thanks to @grempel for hooking this one up) - this lady is a TIGER. Just kidding, but she IS ferociously funny, witty, catty when she wants to be.. This list can just carry on. One who I had QUICKLY become impressed with, in awe of, and just glad to have "met" her because she is so awesome. Novel-sized emails aside, (which I TOLD YOU I LOVE), she is a talented writer (shut up, I know you are!) and a great muse of fabulous information in the writing/publishing world and someone who I am forever going to be learning things from. Just in these past couple weeks of knowing her, I have already learned so much and love her to death for her quirky personality and great words of wisdom, or just her witty sense of humor. I'm super proud of this one ;)

Well 3 is all I can do for now. My hunger is rising and all I can now think about is some peanut butter and toast. I hope this will tide y'all over until the next one ;)

Keep smilin'!

Promoting Beauty In All!

Yesterday my TMOOH t-shirt arrived in the mail! I squealed and then proceeded into a little happy dance in front of the mailboxes. Was super excited to see it and after ripping the package open, there was even a little handwritten note of thanks from Brett Clouser. (tee hee)

I will start with the basics - the t-shirt is awesome. It's made with mostly bamboo, aka it is incredibly soft and comfortable. The color - super!

Now the depth - promoting beauty. I absolutely love the concept and message being sent through the TMOOH brand. For those of you who know me, you probably have realized my love for graphic tees, especially the ones mentioning love or peace or something to that effect. Now I have another fantastic find to add to the collection (and hopefully will get more down the road!) TMOOH - you need to get your hoodies in stock for us Canadians!

Anyways, I just had to indulge in sharing my excitement. Here are a few snaps of yours truly wearing said t-shirt. And remember, YOU ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL <3

So long 2009, Hello 2010!

So 2010 was brought on with a bang. Well, not really. I spent my New Year's Eve with my boyfriend, brother, and his girlfriend. It was actually quite fun; playing board games, eating, drinking. A nice change to bring in the New Year.

As discussed before, I had some 2010 'goals', and one of them was to try out new recipes and cook things I haven't done before. And I wasted no time in starting this one! Tonight I made spinach, mushroom and tofu manicotti. It worked out nicely and tasted delish! Here is a little taste (no pun intended har har):


Hoping that more new, fabulous vegetarian meals are in the near future!
