I am so bad at this blogging stuff. I'm going to justify my many missed opportunities to blog on the fact that I am just finishing up my very first year at University. Thursday is my last class and then I have finals the next week. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to start a blog just before finals. Oh well, maybe starting a blog was a miscalculated move on my part. Nevertheless, I am dedicated to showing myself that I can keep on it.
On a different note, My niece's 9th birthday is coming up this weekend and she has commissioned me to make her a Kitty Litter cake. "What IS a Kitty Litter cake?" you may ask in disgust. Well it is chocolate and vanilla cake smushed up with vanilla pudding and food colouring to literally look like kitty litter. The piece de resistance? you ask timidly.... Tootsie rolls shaped into cat pooh in and on the top of the litter. It is truly a disgusting looking cake but people LOVE it. Can't wait to see the look on everyones face when we bring it out haha!
Well that's it for me tonight...
Sleep well my loves,

A Hard Day
Today was a sad day. Not for any reason in particular, I just feel sad. Do you ever have days like that? where you just want to cry? Well today I did. I'm still a bit weepy as I type this now. Maybe it was the hurtful words my boyfriend said to me last night. He said he was unable to make plans with me because he didn't want to have to break them and upset me. This was nothing special, I just wanted him to come see me over the weekend. So maybe that was what set me off on my weepy day.
Nothing to interesting for tonight, but I wanted to get an entry in since I missed yesterday too.
Tell me what make you sad, what triggers your sad days.
Bon Nuit,

My First Time
Ok then, where to start? So this is my first time blogging, this is my first blog.
I guess I should start by telling whom ever is out there reading this (if there is in fact anyone out there reading my ramblings) a little bit about myself.
I am 26 years old, almost 27 (eek!), Female, a proud Canadian, I am mulatto (half black/half white) Bajan and French to be exact, only just recently found out but that's a story for another time... and quite an exciting story I might add!!
I'm a little over weight... not huge or anything, but it's something I am working on. I'm sure anyone with a few extra pounds around their middle knows what I'm talking about.
I have BIG brown eyes, and dark brown hair... although I am frequently told it is black ha ha. I am just finishing up my first year of university (Rejoice!) It is something I never imagined I would want, or could achieve and I am very proud of myself. I am working my way towards an English degree, so I have another 3 years ahead of me...minimum.
What else? I have a cat named Sid Vicious, he is another story all together, but I have learned that my shadow is in the shape of a cat!
Well that's enough about me for now, can't give it all away yet, must leave some mystery, n'est pas?
What is the purpose of my blog? well I'm going through some MAJOR changes in my life and sometimes I feel like I am making myself crazy for no good reason. I thought maybe a blog would give me an outlet to vent and bounce ideas and thoughts off of other people, outsiders looking in. I am trying to gain some perspective on my life.
Am I normal? I guess we'll find out.
Bonne nuit mes amours
