Eventually I’d like to make this recipe once I have a bigger crockpot. I’d love to serve it to my family at some point. It’s an awesome recipe… so good!

I woke up this morning with an urge to broadcast, so that’s what I did. I played a variety of music, including three songs off of Cimorelli’s latest album, Alive. If you were able to tune in, I hope you enjoyed it! If not, that is what the archive is for!!! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!!

So, a few days ago, my city where I live was graced with its first snowfall. Skiers love it, and in a way, I do too… except, not this early.
I love Christmas, which is why I don’t mind snow, but really, not before mid December or something. Although, now that it has, I wanna get all into the Christmas stuff.
I wish I had Christmas decorations, because I would so put them up right now… Christmas lights and all!! It’s supposed to be a mix of snow and rain the next few days, which I’m not sure I like all that much.
Firstly, if I wasn’t flat broke, I’d break out my dessert section of my recipe binder. I thought about, instead of doing individual gifts, doing assorted baked goods in Christmas tins.
Secondly, because of my disability, some of the recipes I’d want to bake would mean I’d need help with them. Doesn’t work so well if you’re gonna be giving them a baked goods gift box. That whole though seems so tempting to me. If only I could… because I so would!!
There’s a really interesting recipe I wanna make, for other people, of course. I might add it to the end of this. It’s Pumpkin Gingerbread, and I made it in Family Studies when I was in school.

There you have it. It is yours to do what you wish
with it. Although, I’d save it for a blistery cold winter’s day, when it’s snowing and you don’t even want to think about going out.
For now, this post is done.
So, I just returned today from spending time in Carleton Place, Ontario with my family. I seriously already miss them all. My Auntie Alison picked me up from Kanata, Ontario yesterday, and before then, I was counting down the hours. I seriosuly couldn’t wait. My family always has Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve.
Auntie dropped me off at my Grandmama and Grandad’s, and I got to see my cousin Haydie who is back in town for about two more weeks. She has work, and lives in London, England at the moment. My mom, Dawn, my Aunt Rachel, my cousins Roan and Sydney, then my brother Keith and my nephew Oliver arrived. It was so nice to catch up with everyone.
My mom ended up putting some pictures together of my family, including people I didn’t know. Along with all the pictures, including one of me as a baby, I also got a scrapbook to put them in. She sat down with me and told me who was in each picture, as well as labeled them for me. That seriously was the best gift, ever. Auntie ended up giving me a $20 Walmart gift card, as well as bus tickets for when I use Para Transpo. So grateful!
After dinner, we all got to open gifts, which is when I got my scrapbook from mom. I also gave Oliver and Keith’s gift, from me to them. During their secret Santa gift exchange, near the end of it, I ended up getting my Grandmama’s gift, which my Grandad gave to me. It’s a small crockpot. Can’t wait to start using it. So stoked!!
Once we left to go back to Auntie’s, it was just Auntie and I. She had went to go and visit her neighbour for a bit, and then came back and asked me fi I wanted to come and join her, because her neighbour invited me also. So, a great number of hours were spent there. Got back to Auntie’s closer to 3am.
This morning, Auntie, cousin Ben, and I went back over to Grandmama and Grandad’s for breakfast. My mom, Keith and Oliver, Aunt Rachel, cousin Roan and Sydney all showed up simultaneously throughout the morning. After waffles, it was nice to just relax with family before I had to go back to Ottawa.
I truly miss them all already. I can’t wait to see them again, hopefully soon. Now, however, I can busy myself with scrapbooking family pictures. That’ll definitely keep me busy. I’ve been told that’s not the end of the pictures, which is absolutely awesome!!!
Speaking of pictures, here is a picture of my nephew, Oliver and I.
So, here I am again with an impromptu Faithfully Random. This show even features Christmas music, and I thoroughly enjoy this time of year. I played a variety of music, including a cover comparison. For those who were able to tune in, I hope you enjoyed it! For those who weren’t able to tune in, there is also the archive! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!

This is the moment
It’s on the line.
Which way am I gonna fall?
In the Middle between
Wrong and right
But I know after all
It’s my life
What am I going to do?
The world is watching me
Every day, the choices I make
Say what I am and who my heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s my life.
Am I who I always said I would be?
With a sinking feeling in my chest
Always waiting for someone else to fix me
When did I forget?
It’s my life
What am I going to do?
The world is watching me
Every day, the choices I make
Say what I am and who my heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s my life.
To live the way that I believe
This is my opportunity
To let my life be one that lights the way.
It’s my life
What am I going to do?
The world is watching me
Every day, the choices I make
Say what I am and who my heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s my life. o
That is me now. This song has always been an inspiration for me, but more so today. This is my life. I take it back. I fix me, and no one else has to. That’s why I wrote the lyrics o fit me, and my life. It’s, my, life! Grabbing a hold of it right now.
Starting off with doing exactly what I am doing now, writing. I love to write, and I don’t do it enough. I will get my life back. It is my life!!
For the actual lyrics, I will post them here as well.
It’s Your Life – by Francesca Battistelli
It’s my life!
I am totally in a reminiscing mood. I started with Propeller Dance in September of 2009, and even though, due to medical issues, I had to step back every once and awhile, I’ve truly enjoyed my time. This Sunday, at Community Day, Propeller Dance is commemorating 10 years. I can’t believe it!!
It feels like yesterday, when I joined, about two years or so after their birth, if you will. Ten years already? I can’t even believe it! I’ve been with Propeller Dance for approximately seven/eight years. Boy, has time flown by? I’ve often thought about, if I ever decided to move, to start a branch of Propeller Dance in the city I’d be moving to, if they didn’t have an integrated dance company of their own.
That’s always been at the back of my mind. It’s something I’ve been thinking about since I thought about going to college in London, Ontario, but decided against it, since there was no integrated dance company there, to continue my dance skills. So, since then, it’s been at the back of my head, to spread the awareness about integrated dance.
For that, and many other reasons, I can’t wait until this Sunday to commemorate ten years of Propeller Dance!!!
For now, though, this blog is complete.
