Its Raining Its Pouring, The Old Man is Snoring!

My my my, it feels like it should be april with the amount of soggy weather that has come our way here in Southern Ontario! Last night walking from work to the transit I felt like I was in the Wizard of Oz! Unfortunatly, due to the rain I was not able to go visit Kensington Market like I was hoping...its an outdoor market, a wonderful market, but not as wonderful in the rain! I will how ever be heading there on Thursday come rain or shine! I am going to look at a apartment which I am terribly excited for, The kensington area of Toronto has been my favorite are since I can remember and my dream spot to live....and now I have the Oppertunity too so I am pouncing on it! I cant wait!

Work wise, the grand opening week for the Restaurant went amazing! I really couldnt have asked for a better Chef, team or serving staff! everyone was on the same page for the most part, and most were happy campers which is really the best thing durring an opening!

I worked at the Market yesterday before I went to the restaurant and it always amazes me the commitment people have to all the vendors there! I have made so many friends out of customers at the market. It actually worries me if I dont see John the 1 Dozen Extra Large Egg Man on saturdays because I know his personal story and I know he is suffering from Prostate Cancer, and if hes not there by 11:30 like normal we all kinda get worried! I would miss the man that comes and plays his sax in the corner, I would even miss the crazy guitar playing free styling man who sings about what he sees, and all the other vendors like Paul the Honey man, and Ruth the sheeps milk cheese lady, Andy with his delicious empanadas, Napour with her wonderful samosas, Barb number one who sells nuts and Barb Number one who sells all emu products, The all natural herb lady and so many more. And then there are the customers who come by every week and ask and actually care how your week went, I have one lady who I serve everyweek who came to the opening of the restaurant, its amazing what 2 years of good service and a friendly, loving enviroment can do! At my other jobs everyone always asks me why I stay at the market, its only once a week, I have to get up early and its not like I need the money! and my response is always the same....I love it there!....I really miss it when i have a saturday off and I seriously dont know what I would do with myself on Saturday mornings if I wasnt there....I would probably go shopping there! haha! you should try it! go to your local market and talk to the farmers/workers, amazing things come out of it! ( my pics above are from random days at the market)

Okay Enough rambling about the market....just come and see for yourself the love thats there!

I think I am making todays blog so long partly because I am bored, and partly because i really dont feel like doing the heaps of Laundry that are sitting in front of me....ugh woe is me woe is me! haha

I am really excited to get back to who I use to be aswell, I use to be so well Hippy ish I guess its called in todays world, but just very enviromentally friendly ( still am) and natural with my mind and body, and I am going to aim to get back to that! I read this wonderful book that helped me discover more ways to reduce my footprint last summer and alot of it has stuck with me! Its called Sleeping Naked is Green and its writen by a fellow Torontonian Vanessa Farquharson and it is truly and inspirational book! I think that alot of people dont realize how easy some of the changes are! Anyhoo check out the book and also if you feel so inclined for some more green reading your should check out my sister in laws blog, she has some wikid tips and fun reads!
