It's almost the end of January and I'm still sick. I got sick January 1st and felt good for about 3 days before falling deeper into sickness and being miserable.
Have I gone to the doctor? No.
Will I go to the doctor? No.
Should I go to the doctor? Probably.
Will the doctor make me feel better? I doubt it.
Why? Because Google...who knows everything....said that my cough will last about 2 weeks and no matter what medicine I take nothing will happen. The cough will get better on its own. I trust Google. He has never let me down and he also doesn't charge me an arm and a leg. Therefore, I will probably continue to be sick and feel miserable but you know what? My wallet won't feel lighter and that makes me feel a little better. So I should probably stop complaining about my illness and get on with my life. I should probably Google how to do that properly as well.

Five on Friday - Weddings and Newborns
January is half way through and the blog is still feeling lonely so to get back into the groove let's start with a Five on Friday post. Here we go!
UNO
I've been married for one week! I've surpassed Britney Spears, oh yeah! We got married January 10 at Toronto City Hall. It was a very intimate wedding and can't wait to give all the details on a detailed post.
DOS
The cold that I got on New Year's day went away, thankfully, before the wedding. Sadly, it has now come back with a vengeance. My husband is now getting better while I cough up my lungs and fill up the basket with Kleenex. Great way to start the year.
TRES
I have the weekend off! I don't go back to work until Tuesday which means more days for me to recover if I can keep away from cold beer.
CUATRO
My sister-in-law is expecting her first born anytime now and I can't wait to finally meet her. Since she lives in Mexico I'll only be able to see pictures but I'm still pretty excited to be an aunty. Can't wait til the day I meet her in person.
CINCO
As I was writing this post my co-workers surprised me with cake and a lovely card filled with wedding wishes and money. I cried. They're the greatest co-workers anyone could ask for.

Hello again
My blog hasn’t seen much action since the
new year but 2014 has been crazy busy. I started out the year by getting a cold
which had me laying on the couch for 2 days and the freezing temperatures
didn’t help my case. I then spent the rest of my time planning our wedding
while trying to keep the boyfriend, now
the husband, happy as I passed on my cold and it hit him hard. I also
had to do an extensive cleaning of the apartment as my aunt and uncle were
coming to stay with us for the wedding. All of this while still working so the
blog took a bit of a back seat. Now that the craziness has calm down a bit I’m
ready to get back to blogland and chronicle life as a newlywed.

2013 Year Review
It’s hard to believe the year has come to an end; the year
flew by. Although the year wasn’t without its bumps on the road overall it was
a great year. So as I hello to 2014 I look back at all the highlights of the
year 2013.
The boyfriend and I went to Montréal for a couple of days.
The trip was a lot fun and included lots of food, drinks, sightseeing and a bit
of chills from the cold. I love Montréal so much. If I spoke French I would
move there in a heartbeat
I turned 25 and celebrated my quarter of a century birthday
with my friends from work. We had lunch at Milestones and they all gave me
great gifts and of course lovely company. I couldn’t have asked for more. Still
can’t believe I’m in my mid 20’s though.
I reached my one year mark at my job. My longest job yet. Although the job can be stressful I couldn’t ask for a better job. My co-workers are amazing and we have built incredible friendships. I have learned a lot and grown as a person and it has also gifted me with once in a life time experiences like doing the highest hands free walk
I did the EdgeWalk for the second time in my life and it was
still as amazing as the first time. After a lot of cancellations because of the
weather I finally managed to get up there in company of my boyfriend’s brother.
It was his first time going up and he really enjoyed it

I celebrated my fourth Christmas with my boyfriend. We went to our friend's, Hans and Lars', house on the 24th for Christmas dinner. We drank, listened to music and played beer pong. Probably did a little too much beer pong playing myself. My brother-in-law came from Thunder Bay to visit and it was nice to see him again after a few months. The 25th a few friends came for drinks and pozole. I was still hung over and trying to recover from the 24th so I kept the drinking to a minimum.

We said goodbye to 2013 by going to Guvernment with our group of friends. We were a little hesitant to go because it would be crazy busy. Although it was packed and we had to wait in line for coat check it was still a lot of fun and I really enjoyed welcoming 2014 with good music and dancing.
Here’s to a new year!
