I need to update this.

Ok so I literally fell off the face of the planet for a while. Work it amazing but crazilly busy and I'm dead tired when I get home usually. Crazy things are going on in my life right now.

Geordie and I have decided to have a polyamourous relationship. We love each other so much and we both feel completely confident in each other and our relationship, but we both really never dated many people and we had moth only had sex with 2 people and so we both want to explore a bit more. So I oddly have a........boyfriend? I don't know what to call him. A Man-panion? A Manstress. Whatev's. He's very sweet and we both really enjoy each other's complany and he obviously knows the situation and everything so.....yeah. Geordie's been dating a lot, and he thinks he's found someone he really likes so I'm happy for him. It's odd to me how comfortable we both are with this, we talk about it with each other all the time and it doesn't seem to get really awkward at any point. God I love him.

My sweet miss is doing really well, so heart complications at the moment and she's walking and running around like crazy. She's so fun, Geordie and I laugh all day with her.

I got 2 new tattoos yesterday I've been wanting them for a while, so I'm glad they;re finally done!

I just celebrated my big 2-5. We had a party at the cottage and it was fantastic. Christmas was good but by the end of it I was like no more traveling, no more family, not more food, I'm done. I got 20 pole dancing classes for christmas though which kicks ass! Anyway, that's all from me, here's some pics of my recent adventures.

Happy 1st birthday to my sweet tweedle dee.

We went camping in Tobermory this past long weekend. It was awesome. We had such an amazing time. The weather was beautiful and the water was so refreshing.

lookie:

















Ahhhh.


On Monday I start my new job, I'm kinda nervous. I'm going to miss Amelie so much. Sigh. I'm sure everything will work out.

Hey Everyone, I'm just postingt a pic of my new tattoo. I've been wanting to get it for a long time, but I've been kinda nervous to get it (with just cause) It hurt like a b-otch. But Now that it's done I'm happy I have it. It's my gift to me for getting a new job. "HANDS" represents my family. When I was a kid if something happened to my parents or something and someone had to come pick me up the secret code was "hands" which stands for Heidi, Anthony, Nici, Daddy, and Stephanie. The Date below is 8/21/04 which was the day I started my new family with Geordie (our wedding anniversary)

Lookie:







I'm very happy with it. Oh yeah and about the new job. I am now officially a applied behavioral analysis instructor therapis at the new haven learning centre. I will be working one to one with Autistic children. I'm very excited, but sad that I have to leave my sweet tweedle dee. But she will be in good hands with my mum.

Also we went to sick kids and Amelie had a bunch of tests done and apparently her heart surgery totally fixed everything. Well mostly everything, but he said that the other stuff won't effect her at all. SO it's like an awful nightmare is over and I'm so happy. Geordie is also doing fantastically in school. I'm so proud of him.

Life is good.

I wrote this letter to Matthew and I didn't want to have to write another update. So here's the letter.

Yes I am aware of my laziness.

I miss you so much. It's really quite ridiculous.
I had a dream about you a few nights ago. You had come home early and it was a surprise and you and I were driving around in a van singing. Odd. But I woke up feeling nice.
Lots of stuff has been going on. It's definitely summer in Toronto and there's lots of stuff to do. On Canada day we went to the island and had a pik-nik then we took the ferry to the harbor-front and we sat at a patio that had a pretty good view of the stage where we saw do make say think and final fantasy. It was pretty good. Anna Lu has a new or not so new beau who we all love. I think we all love him more than Anna. And he has a hot british accent. So that's nice. They are actually all living together at Des and Anna's place. Des and him get along really well, so I think it's a good arrangement.
As always Amelie continues to amaze me. She's crawling around and stirring up shit and I love it. She wants to talk so badly and I can see it happening in the near future. She's eating pretty much everything but the major allergens and I think she's finally starting to gain a little bit of weight. The doctor was a little concerned in our last visit cause she was only in the 2% of weight for a baby her age. But as far as we know everything else is fine. Still no teeth, but I'm really enjoying her gummy smile. She turned 10 months yesterday and we went out for dinner. She's going for another ECHO and ECG at the end of this month and at that point we will most likely be scheduling her next surgery.
I had a bit of a scare about a week ago. I have this small lump in my arm that I got when I was pregnant and having so many weird skin problems when I was pregnant I figured it would go away. However I noticed that since then it had gotten bigger and Geordie was kinda concerned about it. So I went to the doctor and he kinda made a fuss and said that I definitely have to get it removed and that it was too big to remove it without doing surgery blah blah blah. So he got me an appointment with a dermatologist. The dermatologist looked at it and in seconds said it was just weird scar tissue underneath my skin and that there is no medical worry whatsoever and that a lot of doctors kinda freak out when they see it. So I was really relieved.
In other interesting news our condom broke a few weeks ago (boooo) and so I had to take the morning after pill and got siiiiiiiiiiick. and I have continued to feel sick since then. SO I'm kinda worried I might be pregnant which would not be good timing, but that's life I guess. We'll see what happens. So I'm kinda worried about that cause I've been doing things that preggo ladies shouldn't be doing. But as of last night I decided that I'm just going to hold off on my partying until I know for sure.
I joined a gym which makes me pretty happy. I've now lost all my pregnancy weight. Hooray.
I had dinner with Marissa a couple weeks ago. I heard some stories about you. She's a really nice girl and it sounds like she's going through a hard time.
Geordie's doing great. He just got back a mark for a math course he took and he got a 97%!!!! I'm so proud of him. He works so hard. We got to go on a REAL date the other day. Mavis took Amelie for the afternoon and Geordie and I went to see King Lear in Stratford and then we went for dinner it was SO nice. We talked about Amelie a lot of the time, but it was still nice to have "grown up" time. We also saw the new harry potter movie and it kicks some major ass. unfortunately we had to sit in the 4th row so I felt pretty gross afterwards.
Where are you going to live when you get home. If you need to stay on our futon until you find a place you're more than welcome.
Well, I guess that's a pretty big update. But what I really wanted to say is that I miss you desperately and I can't wait to have you back. It's only a couple of months now. I really hope you're doing well and get back to me when you have time.

Things are pretty spiffy on my end. I have an exicting next few days planned. Tonight my friend Connie is having an art/photography show that Amelie and I will be attending. Should be good.
Tomorrow we're going to see Rock Plaza Cental at the north by northeast music fest! You should check them out if you're in TO. They kick ass and it's only 5 bucks.
And on SAt. Night I'm going to a 80's dance par-tay.

Geordie and I had an amazing time at Evil Dead The Musical SO much blood and sex and laugh out loud funny jokes. It was so nice to be able to have a date on our anniversary. The crowd was interesting. All young people drinking beer and haivng a good time. It was awesome


hooray 5 year an-a-ma-ver-sa-ry



Last weekend was Ali's birthday. We went to this party called
Big Primpin It's a gay hip hop night at this stones bar. It was an awesome time, although definately the sweatyest I have ever been.

Here's me: birthday cock muffin face.



Also, I don't think I have ever posted a picture of Petunia. She's been with us since November and we love her to bits.




And of course for good measure, we always add a picture of the sweet miss. Especailly when she's wearing a shirt this cute. OOoOoOooOooOooh I love her so much.




I'm out's I gotta go paint and stop procrastinating.

Today was a great day. We went out for my fav meal BRUNCH. With our friend Erin and Mike who we haven't seen in way to long. Indulged in a chocolate fountain and ate a whole lotta stuff that you shouldn't eat before 12:00pm. It was great and painful. Then we took a nice walk through the university and we walked to the el moconbo where we went to Amelie's first Concert. There's a thing in TO. caled BUNCH where they get indy artists to do shows for kids and my friend Rob's band rock plaza central was asked to play. It was an amazing time. Mexx kids was there giving all the kids t-shirts to paint on and there was stamps, a tattoo artist drawing things on kids, stud machines for the t shirts and button makers. It was a whole lottta fun making one fore Amelie. And of course as always the band was fantastic. They were mentioned in rollingstone recently which is totally exciting. Then we went to Kensington market for Padestrian Sunday where they close down the streets and have performers and food and good stuff like that. I will have the pics from today's events up here eventually. It was such a nice day and I'm soooooooo tired.

Tomorrow is mine and Geordie's 5 year Anniversary. I have secretly planned a date. Geordie's mom is coming in to town and is going to look after AMelie while Geordie and I go to see " EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL" that's right folks. I'm so excited. WE got splatter zone tickets which means we're gonna get covered in (fake) blood. I'm not even sure he knows that this musical exists so it's going to be a huge surprise. OoOOoOooOoOh I'm so excited. It's also the second time we have gone out together since the sweet miss was born.

Alright I need to eat and it's F-ing late. I shall end this blog with the one, the only , Sweet Gardening Amelie.

TTFN

So things are finally back tp normal. Geordie's back from Korea and done his exams, so now we can have about 1/2 a week of vacation before he starts a new semester (balls).
Amelie is so amazing, she's sitting up now, but has the occasional tumble. She's also trying to crawl which is blowing my mind. She babbles constantly which is so cute and funny but not so great when we need to her be quiet and she's doing her teradactil impression.
I saw spiderman yesterday. I was so excited to see it and was sadly slightly dissapointed. The special effects were amazing as always, but there were too many plots going on which made it confusing and at times kinda boring. The second film was greatly superior.
I have been commissioned to do more art work for ONPEA. I don't know if I mentioned this in a pervious blog but I had an art show and they bought every piece at the opening. I went and dropped off another painting yesterday. It's so nice to get PAID for doing something I love. I am also starting some personal pieces that I have been commissioned for. hooray. So exciting!
I'm debating wheather or not to go to prom. It's tomorrow night and would take a certain amount of planning such as getting a dress and all that jazz. I've always wanted to go, but I also don't really have anyone to go with which makes me kinda laim going by myself. If I can get someone to go with me I'll probrably go. Anyway, here's some pics.
