Feel Good Fridays

I thought for this week's feel good friday I would share this cute little story with you

My great uncle is 93 and was sick awhile back and had to be in the hospital. When the doctors came to check him out and then admit him he said "Don't worry it's ok!...I'm only dying when I am 95 and right now I'm 93 so there's nothing for you to worry about." I LOVE HIM!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY BEAUTIES

Yes, No, Maybe So?

Caution Readers: This is probably going to be a really long post and if or when you finishing reading it you may think I'm total Kook (if you don't already)

I am so beyond excited to share this with you. Yesterday was my Godmother's Birthday and to celebrate my mom, my godmother, their friend and I went to see an intuitive counsellor. Huh? Thats right an intuitive counsellor. This lady has a radio show, she's written a book,does personal sessions and performance like what I went. Some would say she is psychic but she hates that word and does not call herself that. She also has the ability to communicate( not see) with the dead

Now if any of you are like me at this point you are rolling your eyes. BELIEVE ME I GET IT... the most I do to participate the idea of ghosts and psychic ability is watch ghost whisperer..you feel me?

When we got there I thought O-M-G here we go with some yahoo who prays on the weak and vulnerable for living. There were about 50 people in the room and she would pick people and answer there questions. As she starting go through I kept thinking " I bet people are just going along with her because they are too embarrassed to say no your wrong. Then she choose my Godmother and Ladies and Gentlemen Boy was I WRONG

My godmother said "I've been going through a rough time lately..what do you see in the future?" This is where its gets scary folks! She was dead on (no pun intended HA) She said that she felt a tightening in her chest because my godmother likes to hold her feelings in (TRUE) She said you get migraines and have neck problems (TRUE..shes going for a ct scan of her head in 2 weeks) she told her there not medical they are related to stress (again TRUE..her doctor and therapist said it but they are doing the scan to be safe.) She talked all about my godmothers personality and my mom and I could stop laughing because she was spot. She said your the type of person to give someone 20 dollars and end up with nothing for youself..LITERALLY THAT HAPPENED WHEN WE WENT ON VACATION. she gave a guy who was staying in our hotel 20 dollars because he said he lost his luggage and he woud give it back but he never did. This wasn't the only example there so many more..

My godmother then asked her "my goddaughter has been really sick lately do you see anything with that?" Keep in my mind that I wasn't sitting close to my godmother. She all of a sudden grabbed the side of her throat and said I feel something in my thyroid. She said theres something with her endocrine system....her whole body is completely out of whack. Now people honest to god if I had to describe how I've felt these past couple months I would say I feel completely out of whack. I'm tired, I sometimes feel like fainting, I am nauseous. then she says theres something wrong with her eating (TRUE) Every time I eat it hurts and I'm nauseous all the time. For those of you who don't know I walk with a walker (I have cerebral palsy) and my walker wasn't in the room with me my mom had folded it and put it were it was not visible. The lady said to my godmother shes also had a big medical trauma right? (YES)

SHUT UP RIGHT NOW I KNOW HOW CRAZY IS THAT!?! I decided then and there that I had to ask her a question or 2 myself. So at the end I went up to her and I just said my life has been really screwed up lately with a millions things going and I wanna know what you see. she didn't have alot of time because there were tons of people behind me. She said I feel a very creative vibe from you but you hold back. (TRUE) I'm rly shy. Music is a big part of your life (TRUE..my dad and I rly bond over it) and I get the writer vibe (hello I started this blog) She said I have a gift that I haven't tapped into yet.

my grandpa (well my grandmas bf til she died) died 3 years ago and I asked her about him. She said first of all I don't see stepgrandfather ..he just might has well been yours. He was a man to pick favorites but when it came to you there was no doubt. She said that I was born with a pure heart and thats what brought us together and he wanted me to know that I'm still his girl, his angel. At this point i was balling my eyes out lol Somehow of nowhere she said you're absolutely beautful and don't let anyone take that away from you or tell you different. to be honest I have rly low self esteem I was really bullied in high school and it stuck with me. I never feel good enough. I think it was odd that she just said that out of nowhere

do you believe in psychics?

My weird little life

Seriously my OCD tendacies lol cause me to not update has often as I would like. I have all these ideas of things I want to tell you and then i think its stupid and I don't post it. New idea? I am going to put a notebook next to my bed and jot down all my thoughts..I seem to come with things right before I fall asleep...

Ever hear the song Something More by Sugarland? Theres a line that says "there's gotta be something more, gotta be more than this. I need a little less hard time, I need a little more bliss" Thats pretty much how I feel right now. I got a call from the people in charge of my scholarship and they basically said that if I don't go back to school in the fall, there are many more deserving people who could be getting the scholarship.

I get it, I totally do but its not like I've been just taking a break I'M SICK!! I'm on a lot of strong meds and I find it difficult to get off the couch most days. I wish that you my bloggie friends got to know me as the "real" (ok behind the computer screen) Aly. When I was in school instead of the regular 7 classes I took 8. I volunteer at a childrens hospital, I vlounteer for two environmental groups, I was the president of the disabilities club, I spent time with my best buddy ( a mentally disabled person) and managed to fit in homework and the hills..all in a days work. I was busy and what i wish is that everyone could understand that this is not me. This is NOT what I want and this is NOT what I asked for.

Talk about built up stress! I just feel like everything I've worked so hard for is slowly being pulled away and I don't what to do? Anyone out there ever go through something like this with an illness? I'm nauseous all the time and I get pain in my belly when I eat but ever test I've had done is clear hmmmmm all I can say is Dr.Oz, Oprah says your the man can you help me?

feelin kind like perez hilton but..

omgosh have you guys seen this pic of Whitney Port from The City....I don't like to be mean BUT WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?!?


It's like a mix of curious george with the boots and raggedy ann with the outfit...not good people not good

Pre Quarter life crisis

It's hard for me to believe but May 4,2010 marks my 20th year of life. I'm not going to lie it is totally freaking me out. 20 seems like such a big number. I remember being 16 and thinking 20 was such a grown up age. It's when you get or have your shit together and your life journey is starting to show itself more and more, bit by bit. When I turned 20 my life was going to be like a really great episode of the hills...really up this point life has been more of a bad day for a member of the glee club.

My 16 year old self thought ( and to be honest my 19 year old self kinda of still believes this) 20 was when you are in a serious relationship, part way through my university degree, career prospects on the rise, new university friends who you got out and have martinis with on the weekends. To say the least my life is not going in this direction at all...

I not even close to being in a serious relationship. The closest I've come is when I was 17 and let me tell you it was NOT a fairytale. Now I am not complaining about this..I'm not one of those girls who feels like shes not complete without a boy but it would be nice to have someone to have a snugglefest with once and awhile if you know what I mean?

I got into my dream school, packed up the car and drove off for what I thought was going to be the best time of my life. I had scholarships that I was very proud of. I got sick and to tell you the truth I logically understand that it is not my fault but I feel a little like failure...like I ruined a perfectly good opportunity. Although the one thing I need manage to make a couple of friends who I love dearly and feel so fortunate to have! It actually hard to be away from them I feel kinda left out ..outta the circle.

I think I'm crazy but I don't know I feel like I should have done some pretty monumental stuff by now. This crisis is probably supposed to happen in 5 years from now but I've always been a little ahead of the curve. As afraid as I am to enter this part of my life, I think it is time for me to make a list, a list of all the things I want to do and what I want from my life and I'm gonna go out and get!

I was watching Dawson's Creek reruns today (don't judge!) and Audrey said something to Joey that really grabbed my attention She said "why are you spending all your time wishing you were someone else and trying to live the life of someone else, when you missing all the opportunities that are being given to you in your life" This is sooo true

Did any of you freak out when you turned 20?

Feel Good Fridays

TGIF everyone!!

Here's a quote I thought would put a smile on everyones face..HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh!" he whispered. "Yes, Piglet?" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

If I were a newlywed...

I have a confession to make...I own all the seasons of Newlyweds:Nick and Jessica on DVD...I know I know don't judge me lol.
I always get a good laugh at it and I think they're sweet. I remember being 15 or 16 when it was on tv and saying to my friend that I know people think the show is dumb and their marriage is immature but I would mind having a marriage like theirs. I mean come on shopping trips,hot air balloon rides,romantic dinners, lots of laughs and getting to cuddle with Mr. Lachey can you blame me? I imagined myself living in their house..swimming in the pool lol Gosh when their house went on sale something inside of me got excited like I had shot HA!!! I know I was a funny 15 year old. I still would mind a relationship like theirs (cupid if you wanna send a nick lachey look alike my way by all means go ahead) except minus the slight father daughter thing they had going on not cool

If I were a newlywed I'd want it to look like this.....

Feel Good Fridays

So I was thinking about it and I really wanna try and post a really good feel good moment on fridays:) Bonnie Hunt does a feel good moment on her show everyday and it just makes me smile and want to do that for all of you.

My cousin posted this vid of facebook and a couldn't help but smile and feel like a giddy school girl on the inside (Ok..you caught me ...maybe I felt a little..or alot jealous too)

So to the man who decides he can put up with my goofyness for the rest of his life take note....I think this is really cute:) The key is originality!!


Hope this puts a smile or your face or maybe even a spring in your step:)
XOXO

The Last Song

I went to see Miley Cyrus's new movie The Last Song the other day with my mom and godmother. I'm not really a huge Miley Cyrus fan but the previews just grabbed at my heart and I could wait to see it.

Let me give you some background history on my movie taste...I love anything that is light, fluffy and makes most men roll their eyes as the watch in indescribable pain. YES!...I'm that girl. For my 17th birthday one of my b aesties bought me a box set of 4 movies and this set was titled "For Your Softer Side"

I thought for sure this movie was going to leave me feeling like a little girl and wishing that I had a boy who wanted to frolic in the waves. Now please don't get me wrong...I DID feel that way and Miley props to you for scoring such a catch! The boy is a looker...he even got my mom and godmother gears going.

I am a hug Nicholas Sparks fan...the notebook and a walk to remember are two of my all time fav movies. Now that being said you'd think I'd find the theme of his movies...but OH NO NOT THIS GIRL. I was light hardly enjoying a seen where miley and liam are in the car and she starts singing "she will be loved" by Maroon 5 and he realizes she can sing and jokingly starts to try and sing (which he can't) and they have this nice lovey dovey moment. I am in love at this point. then soon after Miley's character's dad mentions medication he's been on and it dawns on me. The movie is taking a turn down the Nicholas Sparks road...someone is going to die. Yep thats right ...someone dies and I left the theatr with a puffy face that looked I had a serious alergic reaction. I should have known...

Go see the movie!!! It was totally worth the tears:) Check out the trailer here

Halifax

Happy Easter Everyone!!!! How was your easter

So as you guys know I went to Halifax this past week to visit a bunch of friends where I used to go to school last semester!!

Boy Oh Boy did I have fun! I was originally going to stay with a friend who lives in an apartment but I'm actually sooo glad I didn't do that!! I stayed with my friend Katie who lives in the same dorm as me and was also in my program. WE HAD SO MUCH FUNN! Every night we'd say we were going to go to bed early and the next thing you know it was 1 am and she had to go to school lol opps

She's such a nice person and I totally love her. We didn't really have alot of time to get to know each other while I was there because I got sick pretty early on in the semester so I wasn't really there. It was so nice to get closer...she's a true friend.

The night of gala (dinner/dance) to celebrate this years residents in my dorm. It was typical of a dal event. It got so much hype...I'm not gonna lie it was kinda a let down. My friend got mouthy with the security guard and she ended up finding a reason to kick most of my friends because of what my friend said to her. they were kicked out by association lol me,katie and jan were the only ones left. We didn't stay to long...danced for awhile. *SIDE NOTE* My girl K was freakin awesome she managed to shimmy her way near this cute guy and they danced for quite some time. She was so brave and so cool about it. I need to be more like that.

While I was there we went shopping! (a bought a pair of leather boots and a purple and pink plaid shirt dress) We stopped for CINNABON!!! they have the best cinnamon bums Ive ever had. If any of you ever get the chance to go to one...DO IT..its heavenly.

The rest of the trip was mostly just hanging with friends and havin a good time. I haven't laugh so hard in a long time! It was so good to see everyone!!! The yummiest part...THE FREAK LUNCHBOX!! a crazy awesome candy store:) My dentist might not be happy but I definetly was.

What have you guys been up to?
