Blog world

Lately it is getting quieter and quieter in the blog world.
There even is some people who say it openly that they are leaving.

I think I am there.
Lately I realized that coming here to write is asking me to do an effort, when I used to do it in the past, I needed to write and had fun with it.

I think that for me it is the end.

I will keep on reading your blogs, I will not abandon you, as I've attach myself to so many of you.

Bilingual inspiration

When I started going downhill last year around this time, I started another blog in French, as I thought I was losing touch with my first language.

I also found out with time that it is hard to keep two blog going with different types of posts as I felt I was repeating myself. But I also just realized that I don't have the same audience.

I have come to the decision that every time I get inspired to write a post I will write in on both blogs. For those of you who follow both it will be a repetition, but I want to share with all my blogger friends English or French.

:)

Trust

How much do you trust your blogger friends?

I know I have met some of you, others I have been in contact through mail and other with whom I exchange on blogger regularly. I don't know why as of lately I have been in a fearfulness when it comes to virtual friendships.

I did drive a blog friend to the hospital this week without ever seeing him before, and once I got to his place I told myself I was stupid for going to a strangers house. I did, chickenly of me, have a knife in my purse, but God knows I would never be able to hurt anyone. I guess I beleive that people all have some good within them.

I have had no bad experiences with meeting blog people and haven't heard any horror stories aside from movies.

I've had a blogger friend from the US come over for a few days.
I've sent my sister to meet another blogger friend of mine in another province.
I exchange about twice a year parcels with another friend.
And I do write with some of you across the world.

So why this fear all of a sudden?

2 other months

Hey guys!

I'm still alive and doing much much better.
I should be back to work in 2 weeks (yay!)
I am going completely nuts over shoes.
Counting the days before I move into my new place.
I'm still going to the gym.
I reunited with an old friend from high school and had a blast (will do again).
And I got in touch with my friend from this post
My godson gave us a scare when he had a allergic reaction to peanuts and had to be driven to the hospital by ambulance (Thank God he is fine)
Summer is finally starting to show signs that it is on it's way, I read a book sitting outside for the first time today since last summer.
After all these dark months, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
For the first time ever I am an absolute fan of American Idol (I'm rooting for Scotty) and the Amazing race (I'm rooting for Mallory and her dad).

Have a great week my friends!

PS: If you have a few minutes stop by my blog friend Chana's. She is going through a hard time and she needs all the prayers and positive energies she can get.

3 months later

Hi everyone!

Yes, I am still alive :)

Here's a little bit of what has been going on in these past months.

I still am in therapy, it is a very long process, but I do see a little improvement.
I have not returned to work yet and I sure miss it.
I bought a new car and almost ended up dating the sales guy.
My godson turned one a few days ago.
Doctors orders, I now go to the gym with a trainer 3 times a week.
I have started apartment hunting as I decided to move for July first.

That's about it, nothing big. I keep on reading your blogs, I know I don't comment much, but I am here. I just don't feel the urge to write in English at the moment, but I felt like I owed you guys a little update.

Thanks to all of you that have written to me in the mail or by email, it means the world to me to know that you are there.

I love ya all! (mouah)

Letter to Carrie

Dear Carrie,

I wanted to write this letter to you on my blog as I believe everyone should know how fabulous you are.

You came to Canada to visit without knowing who I was and in what kind of world I lived in. I know I am in a very bad phase of my life right now and I would of given anything for you not to have to share this with me.

But you where there, smiling from ear to ear, listening and comforting.
So positive, joyful and up for anything from shopping to napping.

I believe that in this world there are very few people like you and you are just so fantastic. You give me hope. You are a ray of sunshine.

I'd love to see you again once I am better.

Love Caro

PS: For those of you who dont know Carrie, you should follow her blog Just a girl

Visit

I am so excited that today my bloggy friend Carrie is coming over for a few days.
She is flying in all the way from Virginia :)
I always wanted to meet some of you and today is the day!

Have you met any of your blogger friends?

Fabulous Friday

It's Fabulous Friday once again at My Life in Purple


What's fabulous this week in my world?

Well It might not seem like much to some of you but I believe my closet is absolutely fabulous. Ever since I moved I have been wanting to tell you about it. It isn't big, but it's the first time that I have a closet I can actually walk in and that I don't have enough stuff to fill it :)

To bad you cant see the right side is almost completely empty...gotta go shopping :)

What's fabulous about you this week?

Update

Hi everyone,

I am back from my craziness.
Here is what has been going on (here’s a long post)

-Me and D decided that it would be best for both of us if I moved out, so I went apartment hunting, for a great little place that I love in a part of town that I adore. My dad and my sister took a day off and helped me to cleaned the place and carry all the boxes I had. On Sunday D and one of my friends moved all my furniture (including a new couch, new shelves, new coffee tables) The same night my dad and my mom came back to help me with the finish some little thing. I still have to buy a few things as my walls are empty, but it starting to look like home J

-The triplets (my godson and sisters) are doing great getting fatter everyday. The parents had a hard time seeing them get their firsts vaccines.

-Work has been completely insane and it doesn’t look like anything is going to calm down. I love it; it makes the days go by so much faster.

-My best friend came over for a surprise visit and she met a guy in her part of the world (I am very happy for her) I am sad that she finally decided not to move back to Montreal anymore, but thanks to technology we still speak or chat almost everyday.

-I am in love with my star crush Jaroslav Halak, and he is kicking ass in the playoffs for the Stanley cup J

-I saw the heart doctor again and I have more tests to do at the beginning of June. He said not to worry, but to still hold off going to gym until he gets the results of the tests.

-I got all the result form all the test I did for the weeks I was sick after I came back from vacation and all is ok, but I am still not feeling 100%. My family doctor says it is all related to anxieties (and God knows I am anxious like crazy)

- As soon as I finish paying off all the little expenses my move cost me, I think I will get another tattoo. I have been thinking about it for years and I don’t understand why I haven’t gotten it.

-For my summer vacation this year I don’t have anything planned, but I would love to go to Nashville Tennessee. It was supposed to be my first trip ever a few years ago and I didn’t go. So why not this summer?

-I had over 400 posts to catch up on Google reader. I went through them last night and went to bed way too late (writing for work so I don’t fall asleep)

This week is still full of things do to, stuff to buy and stuff to hang, but this weekend I do plan to finally relax (I hope)

How are you doing?

Green

Green is the color of hope and in April I hope only for positive things.
This is why I picked green for this month for my blog. I love the picture of the tree in the ray of light, it is like the light at the end of a tunnel.

I am not the kind of person that likes April's fool, but I couldn't resist posting a picture of a fish :)


Have a great day and month everyone!

What's going on?

Here is a melting pot of the last week or so.

-I am still sick from our trip. I did go see the doctor and I am on a special diet to have a series of test done. So keeping positive.

-My god son is now out of the hospital and home. :) I will not go see him right away because I don't know yet if I am contagious and he is so tiny that I don't want to give him or his 2 sisters what ever I have.

-Work is absolutely crazy because of the government year end and our big wins across Canada.

-This weekend I am hosting another girls night of clothes exchange.

-I put together the package for my Dozen of eggs giveaway, so dont forget to participate.

-I am picture hunting for the new color of my blog for the month of April

-My best friend is moving back to town in July, she misses us too much.

-I got my Master Card cloned (but they stopped it in time)

-Me and D have taken the bed frame apart (I was so scared of it falling apart)

-This weekend I will have a 3 day weekend and it will be over 20C degrees (YAY)

And it is Easter Sunday! Woot Woot! Chocolate heaven!!!!!

I'm back!

Hey everyone!

I am back from the sun and the heat.

Give me a few days I still have D's parents staying at our place till tomorrow and lots to catch up here, but I will tell you all about it and show you pictures.

Thank you to my guest posters ;) You kept my blog alive while I was gone.

I missed you :)

New colors

Do you like my new colors for March?


A beachy picture as a header, because it is in March that I will go sit my ass on the beach for a week.

Fabulous Friday

I wanted to participate to the Fabulous Friday's for a while.


Even if Im not a bit a glamour girl, I have one special tool that does make feel absolutely fabulous so I have to share it with you.

The Victoria Secret lip gloss!!!

It makes me feel sexy and fabulous, when I put it on I feel like everybody is looking at my lips and I love it lol!

Happy Friday everyone!

You're Going Places, Baby Award

Valerie from Next to heaven gave me this award:


Rules: Post where you’d like to be in 10 years and then give it to 10 bloggers.

I am not quite sure what to write as I am torn between the idea of where I'd like to be in ten years and where I think I'll be. So here are both...

Where Id' like to be: In another country (I'd like to move), with a fabulous job that I love, never have to see snow again and never be sick again. I'd love to go roll down hill on the green grass of Ireland and surf in Australia.

Where I think I will be: As weird as it sounds I don't think I will still be here. I am not thinking of committing suicide or anything like that, I just don't see anything in my future for 10 years from now, not even little useless things like a house or dog. Is it possible to see that it will?

I tag:

Nic
Tiara
Mindy
Julia
Diyana
Melissa
Sara
Loys
Andhari
Michelle

Bad giveaway?

In the past each time I hosted a giveaway I had so many entries.
Now this giveaway, lots of comments, but no entries.

Is there something wrong with it?
Too short delay?
Am I asking too much?
Is it because you don't know what the boxes hold?
Or is it just plain boring?

I still consider myself new to the blogging world, so please tell me, cuz I got to figure out what to do with the stuff I got lol

Change

A few weeks ago I was wondering if pink was my color.
And I still don't feel comfortable with it.

Instead I decided that I would change once a month.
Here is the February blog revelation!
I tried to make it a little themed.
I hope up you like it :)
