As you have probably guessed by my title - I don't do the TV thing very often. I have made 4 phone calls to Telus and it took 4 calls before I was firm on my choice to give up the TV! Every time I called they would offer me deals, movie channels, faster internet, etc. etc. and I would cave - keep my TV and then again, never watch it. And seriously, who needs TV when you can get on the internet and surf all of the food blogs your little heart (or stomach) desires! There's a whole world of them out there... You start on one and it leads you to the next, then the next, and so on and so forth and next thing you know it - you've bookmarked 5 new sites, have 10 internet windows opened, 16 new recipes chosen to make and 2 hours has flown by like nothing!  And now...for (one of) today's creation!

Monday didn't have my most favorite start today, but it improved as the day progressed! I've often referred to Monday as a recurring hangover without the drinking, and it really is at times!  Kyla, you just said Monday was a recurring hangover.... Why yay!? 1. Because work is busy and I do really like being busy at work. 2. (This is really why) I GOT MY FOOD PENPAL TODAY!!! Yippee!! I'm all shopped up and ready to send! AMAZING. You should join - really... for real - join! Go  here . Who doesn't like food and who doesn't like surprises in the mail!?  3. I went to yoga because I could hardly sit, walk or stand without my hips screaming at me from my run yesterday and it made me feel better.  4. I made a delicious dinner of Coconut Crusted Salmon, Sauteed Spinach and Cauliflower Mash. DELICIOUS!  Last night, I went a little nuts.
