Well we finally did it and took a holiday for the first time in our marriage and life together. Matt and I went to Cuba for 7 days on January 9th and I have to say I have been chomping at the bit to go back since we got home. it was so amazing!
To be honest when we were talking about a holiday, Cuba was the furthest from my desired location to go and visit, but I am sure glad I got over that and took the plunge and went because I don't think it would have been as great anywhere else in the world.
We stayed just out side of Havana Cuba in this quaint and older apartment style hotel, with a large pick of restaurants and few bars right at the resort, all was good, and you cross the road to be on the beach and a swim in the ocean. If we didn't feel like going to the ocean we got to sit poolside, pick up a litre of vodka for $4 and drink all day out of it. Great, then a short stumble for lunch and grab a large pizza for $3, what a great life, and the real bonus for me was I could smoke anywhere and everywhere I wanted to , no freezing your ass off outside.
And the people down there are all so friendly and hard working, a totally different outlook on life than we as Canadians have.
We also met many great people within the resort from different areas of Canada and had a great time with all of them as well, but I have to say my two favorites were Michel and Richard from Sherbrook Quebec, a couple of amazing and fun loving guys, was so nice to hang out with them and visit and just have a great time.
We also met a couple from Windsor who were just a blast, Veronica and Gunther and his very sweet mother, Matt went to an authentic Cuban dance and show with them one night in Havana.
Our favorite waitress there was named Julie and she was just fabulous and an amazing young woman, and so beautiful and sweet, I cant imagine anyone in the world not liking her. Then are favorite bartender was Danier, sweet and also a real looker and just a charmer in every way. For the most part all the staff were amazing and we just had a great time.
We were inspired to go by the price we got, we were wanting to stay for the beauty and the fabulous views, people and food, and ocean and pools.
I check online everyday to see if there is another special and we can go back, I would totally honestly move there if we could, I just loved it.
We have decided to make this a yearly trip and will try to plan it with Michel and Richard and hopefully can drag Jeff and Mara with us next year and have one hell of a party in Cuba with all of our friends, old and new.
So my advice to you now that we have been to Havana, is go and if you do, stay for 2 weeks not one, because it will leave you wanting more. Enjoy and thanks for reading.

Letter to Kathleen Wynne
Dear Miss Kathleen Wynne
I was so happy when you were first appointed as Premiere of Ontario and head of the liberal party here, but must say I am no longer.
I wrote to you last week and expected some sort of response in regards to gift cards and the ice storm, but I guess I do not fall in to a category of any importance to you or your party. I have also phoned the Canada works offices offering these gift cards and they told me it is first come , first serve and I have to line up before 8am, while this is fine and great, I must say I am disappointed in the way the province and the city is handling the distribution of these cards, why were they not just mailed out to the areas affected by the storm. You know damn well being without power for more than a day , that we lost food.
I can not line up and wait for a card as I am not well enough to do so every day. So I guess being forced from my home, losing food and having to eat out for 3 days holds little to no importance to you and the Liberal party.
I guess you got your 15 minutes on Tv the other day and handing out a few groceries and being appreciated with that , though I never saw you , neither did anyone in my neighborhood.
Your response is and will be more than welcome but I will not hold my breath as this is the second email I have sent now in the last week. All I can say is my vote was and has always been liberal but will now probably go towards the NDP.
With regards , awaiting your response

My letter to Harper today
I am not sure I have selected the right category but am writing you in a letter of importance to myself. I watch TV daily and am so tired of seeing commercials saying our country of Canada giving money to the Phillipines. I think we need to be offering money and help to people who involved in the ice storm in Toronto and Ontario and lost power and were forced from their homes at Christmas. I am one of those people and have not received any word of compensation or seen any thing on TV offering to help us. We live on a fixed income as do many people in our area. We had to get a hotel, eat our meals out and leave our home.
I must say I am a little disappointed how our country is looking after other countries before we look after our own. This to me has always been a problem. I have also sent a letter to the Premier of Ontario with no response at this time.
It also makes me a bit angry being originally from Alberta and seeing the suffering these people went through in southern Alberta with little to no help at all. This really sickens me that you as a government representing our Country are helping other countries more than we help ourselves, we should be cleaning our own back step before others.
While I am on this subject why not increase Old age pension and Canada Pension plan instead of making our seniors starve and have to budget as they do. I believe this is ridiculous and what we do for other countries such as the Phillipines is great but please help us Canadians first.
I hope I get a response from you, but am doubtful.
I do know though with the lack of response from Katherine Wynne and the liberal party and quite frankly never liking the Conservative party believes my vote in the next election will definitely be going towards NDP.
Thank you so much and have a great day, I am hoping to get some sort of response from you or a member of your government.

November in a Nutshell, and a Disaster December
Well here it is , again I apologize for not writing sweet fuck all for the past little while. I have been and remain extremely busy doing the last few little bits in our house and looking for work and shit.
So in November for the first three weeks Matt and I worked our butts off to get the back porch framed reinsulated, tiled and the new bathroom laid out back there. We did plumbing, electrical and in preparation to put in a powder room , built in pantry and move our laundry to the main floor.
Then on the night of the 25th of November I flew out to Alberta and spent a fabulous week with my parents, It was so great to spend some valuable time with Mom and Dad and celebrate Moms 67th birthday with them both. I am so lucky to have both my parents and be able to spend time with them and considering they are the last immediate family I have left or choose to speak to, this was incredibly valuable to me and was worth millions.
We had a blast while I was out there and it was just so much fun, no pressure to see any of my drunken siblings or self righteous nephews and nieces, just a good time for Mom and Dad and I and a great visit.
Got to also stop by and see my best galpal and meet her hubby and the twins for a night before going to the Airport to come back here. Love you lots Sandi and so enjoyed our visit and meeting Tom and the twins, you have the most amazing little family and fabulous husband and you my dear are still the most gorgeous and loving person I know.
Anyhow while I was away Matt got sick and had a lovely cold and flu, was so hot to come home to that and catch from him, not really.
Anyways we finally both got over our flu by the first week of December and got on with the back porch and finishing drywall, mudding, taping and tiling the floors, had to have heat ran back there as well, got a good friend of ours Adam in to run new Duct work, so nice back there now.
We now have it all mudded the wall is tiled in the powder room and windows are frosted and washer and dryer moved up, I tell you that is the best thing, not having to walk to the basement anymore to do laundry. Love it.
We also went to see Les Miserable on December 21st, this was a Christmas gift to Matt and we both enjoyed the show and had a great time, it was amazing and if it comes to a city near you soon, go and see it, the best. However that night continued on for quite some time we went out after so Matt could meet my friend Billy who I have not seen since 2008. Was a great night until we got home in our cab and the damn power was out, woke up the next morning Sunday and was hopeful but there was no power, we kept ourselves warm with the gas stove and in bed all damn day. On Monday the 23rd we finally gave up hope and went to a hotel with the kids for a night, Tuesday I came home to check on things and grab some stuff we needed, wasn't even an hour after I left the house to go back to the hotel and Mara called to say the power was back on.
Got back to the house late afternoon on the 24th, checked a couple of the neighbors house to make sure furnaces were all running and water pipes were good. So glad we got to come home and spend Christmas here. Mara and Jeff and Louisa came over on Christmas eve for a visit and I have to say not too impressed with one of them. All and all a good time except for the racist and sexist remarks.
Anyhow it did not ruin our fun.
Christmas was spent with my hubby Matt who bought me the best gift ever a gorgeous and warm jacket, he also slaved over the stove all day and made a fabulous turkey dinner and we had Jeff and Mara and their two fab daughters over for dinner. After all Christmas is suppose to be spent with family and they are our family here.
New Years eve we were suppose to go out, though that was spoiled too when I slipped on black ice the night before and screwed the whole left side of my body, so not fun. Matt and I stayed home, had a few drinks and saw in the New Year with my new sis and bro, Mara and Jeff. Had a great time as always, love you guys.
Okay that is all for now, I hope 2014 is amazing for all my friends and adopted family and my parents. Lets make it a great year and remember the good and bad from 2013 as this is how we learn and move on.

The back Porch
Well we have been working feverishly to finish the back porch, put in our powder room and move the laundry up to the main level of the house. So far we have installed the cement board on the floor, insulated the walls and roughed in some plumbing and electrical. Been a long couple days and crazy around our house. The plan for the back porch is to do a wall of cabinets across from the powder room and washer dryer and for a pantry. On the other side of the staircase we plan to do a wall of storage for shoes and coats.
We are tiling the whole back porch in a chocolate brown to match the color of the hardwood flooring and will even out and lower the ceiling to 8 feet the same as the rest of the house. Not sure what color to paint yet but I think some shade of blue to accent the washer and dryer and contrast the dark brown floors. Can't wait until we are at that stage.
Also this week we have done all the finishing touches on the trim upstairs with the white paint, stained the front stair railing and all the wood in the living room. Looks great thus far.
Need to go and get passport photos this week and get that renewed as soon as possible. Also have to go in for my monthly bloodwork and screening, love getting poked and drained of my blood every month, sucks!
We need to build some walls today and frame the bathroom and pantry area and then start on the ceiling frame and get that insulated. I have to uninstall the baseboard heater in the back and we have Adam coming in next week from Direct Energy to extend our duct run into the back porch so we will finally have heat back there. That will be nice when you come in the door.
The house is almost done, a few little touch ups here and there and then yay we are finished except for the basement which will have to wait for a year or so and then it will be one huge all useful and beautiful house.
I think today may be a day off and we can relax for once this week. Neither of us slept great last night. But I am afraid that Matt was up half the night, poor thing, he was so sore from lifting dry wall and doing shit this week.
Well I need to get my act together today and get started here, been up for a few hours and have nothing done as of yet. I need to get laundry folded and take the dogs for a walk soon. For now I am going to relax a little bit longer and have another cup of coffee. Have a great day all and may your weekend be fabulous.

Been too long since I have written
Hello, I know it has been a long time since I have written a thing in here and I apologize for that, so let me catch you all up on the gaybors and our lives for the last few months and what has been going on with our lives and what we have been up to.
Well from our anniversary, which was July 6th until September I was actually quite sick and back and forth to hospitals and specialists and the doctor and it was quite scary for both Matt and I. I was having troubles with chest pain and shortness of breath and coughing so much stuff up, they thought at the time I had lung cancer and I ended up going for a biopsy on my lungs which was quite painful and a day surgery. I guess when I got home I was quite out of it still and a little funny with actions and what I was doing and saying, or so I was told, the whole day was a blank to me.
I also was told at that time I may have had a couple other cancers that they wanted to check for, I have put all the other tests on hold right at the moment, because sometimes not knowing is the best thing and a little less stressful. I do have to go back to the lung cancer specialist every three months for a check up and breathing tests as there are some dark spots on my lungs and I am still being treated for the Horners syndrome and chronic headaches. Anyhow that was most of our summer in a nutshell.
As for the rest of the time since then we have been working our butts off on the house. We have stuccoed and painted the front of the house red and done the window frames in a gloss black out front. Laid all new bamboo flooring on the second floor. Finished the ceiling treatment in the living and dining room. Repainted the living room, dining room, kitchen walls.
Done some electrical in the house, new lights above the island, new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, installed heaters in the bathroom and front mudroom. Wehave also put new spindles and railing on the staircase, wallpapered the entire hall and stairwell, installed baseboards and window and door trim and painted it all throughout the entire house, sanded the treads on the stairs and painted the back and sides and spindles a bright white. Installed new granite counter tops and installed a new hood fan in the kitchen, touched up stain on all cabinets and framed out the wall oven and microwave cabinet.
We have also installed a new toilet and vanity in our washroom up stairs. Finally painted the master bedroom and installed our closet organizer which I built. Redid the front yard and front paver patio this summer. Built a mantle and fireplace for the dining room, hung floating shelves and pictures in the house.
We also had Matts parent come to visit for three weeks in mid September which was lovely, they did not stay here but did come over a few times for a visit and Matt went out to see them as well in Oshawa a couple time and we also went to Oshawa for dinner once and to go and see a play with his cousin Gillie, Aunt Barbara and Mom and Dad Allsopp, love them!
For thanksgiving we went out to Matts cousins and met the whole family for a huge dinner, I do believe there was 26 people there and it was a blast. His whole family is just amazing and they all stick together and seem to get along very well. Can't wait to see them all again.
So yes we have been extremely busy and doing stuff here in the house so I apologize for not being on here and writing as much as I use to , though I am going to try and get back into the habit as it is therapeutic for me and also helps me to keep in touch and let my friends know that I am still here and kicking and will be for quite some time.
For now I shall sign off and I promise to be back soon and right some more. Have a great day and a great week and please keep reading, Love you all and thank you for your support this summer for those of you who knew what was happening.

Matts' Birthday and the last long weekend of summer
I can not believe how fast this summer seemed to pass us by, it is just amazing and crazy, where the hell does time go and why does it seem to go by so much faster in the summer than it does it the winter.
We did not have the greatest summer, a lot of rain and a bit of humidity, and a lot of mixed weather on many days, the garden this year did very well and everything grew amazing, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes and almost everything in an abundance which was just unbelievable in every way. Made several batches of pickles, spicy pickled beans and sweet pickles already.
I have also started to make our own perogies and made approximately 150 the other day, half potato, cheddar and onion and the other half jerk chicken. Last night we had Mara, Jeff and the kids over for Barbeque and Wayne dropped by as well. Matt made his ribs and rotisserie chicken. It was amazing and great and we had food a plenty, including beans from the garden, cucumber and tomato salad from the garden.
Great way to spend the last weekend of the summer.
Saturday night Matt and I went out for his birthday, we went to Freds Not Here for dinner and I have to say it is the first restaurant I have eaten at in Toronto over the last 10 years where I could not say a bad word but was so impressed by everything and so happy with the food, prices, drinks, and especially the service. Wow if you are ever in Toronto or you live here, go and try eat, 10000 better than the Keg by far.
Matt and I then went out for drinks and had the greatest night for his birthday, we went to Boutique on Church street and just had a great time. All and all a good weekend.
Health for me has not been the greatest this summer and been a hard time some days for me, but I am a fighter and get through it day by day, Matt has been great and helped me a lot and I am so thankful for that and for him. I have been back and forth to doctors, hospitals and specialists, this week I have two more appointments and then I am hopefully done for a while.
Hate this whole thing and I will explain everything one day soon when I am good with it all. Anyhow, I hope you all had a great long weekend and a lovely week, yay, the kids are back in school starting tomorrow, happy days.
