Feeling Homesick....



I was born in Ontario but I grew up in Whitehorse! The north is in my soul! I'm a Yukon girl by heart... All the way! The mountains, the culture, the history, the scenery, the long drives, the exploring, how easily I used to be able to escape to the bush. I miss it! One thing that always brings me home and makes me feel better is this... BANNOCK! Mmmm... A recipe I learned when I was 11 in Southern Tutchone class at Whitehorse Elementary. Good times! Although I'm sad to say I don't remember much of the language. If you don't use it you lose it. But these bisquits snacks are awesome. Easy to make. Make them to taste. If you like a sweeter flavour, just add more sugar. They're good with jam but I love mine warm with some butter or sometimes just plain. Excellent with tea. 
There's some other flavours I'd like to experiment with these... I post my results later on. I hope you enjoy!

Who's that Girl?

I guess an introduction is in order. Well I'm Jessica... Jess! Not Jessica... sounds so weird being called by my first name, unless I'm being scolded by my mother. LOL! I might as well warn you, I have this habit of digressing. Oh yeah, did I mention I'm a Gemini? That might explain things. 



Okay, where was I? Oh yes, So I'm Jess lol. I'm 29.. ugh I know. I'm getting frighteningly close to that dreaded number that shall not be named. I have an adorable Chihuahua puppy, Tiddlywink. He's a shithead. I love him to pieces though. He's very unique, just like his Momma. He has like 5% terrier in him so he's a fuzzy Chihuahua which makes him absolutely adorable. He's the only one out of his litter and all the litters before him that's like that, all the other pups are regular looking short haired little rat looking things. Not my boy... Plus he was born without a tail. Probably due to too much inbreeding. So he's this 2.5 fuzzy, round butted ball of cuteness. He doesn't run, he bounds, like a rabbit.



I work much more than I should, but right now it's the distraction I need. I do really love my job. I work front desk at a hotel. I've been in the field pushing 10 years almost. However, unlike others I've been at this current hotel for 3 years now. That's quite a feat for me. Like I said, I'm a Gemini and I get bored easily. I tell you, it is the management that makes or breaks a company. Good attitude trickles down. We're owned by an awesome Canadian management company. If I weren't poor I'd totally invest. I guess that's why I've stayed so long. Also, this is the first time in my life where I actually feel appreciated. I'm by no means dumb. I've very good at my job. But I'm also not educated, formally that is. Everything I know and am capable of, I've taught myself. I couldn't afford college or loans so I bought books. However, I've never been overly showy. I'm not all 'Look at me, look at me'. So often in previous situations I get over shadowed. Anyways, now I'm happy... professionally speaking at least. 



Now here's where it gets sappy, lovey-dovey then sad and depressing. I am one of the few who was lucky enough to find 'the one'! Greatest man in the world, love of my life, ruined me for life, over the moon in love with this man... The One! He is my everything. I can't live without him. When I'm with him I know everything will be okay. He looks at me and sees into my soul. That forever kinda thing. But now I'm very sad and worried. He got sick 6 months ago and still isn't better. Just a common cold but he has NO immune system so he just kept getting worse and worse. At the end of June he went into the hospital. He's not in the icu in a coma on life support. He's stable so that's good. So here I sit, waiting for my love to return. Just keep hoping and believing. Everything happens for a reason. Whatever is meant to be will be. I believe we are meant to be so that's what I keep hoping for.

So this is me in a nut shell. The good and the bad, the happy and the sad!



Tune in next time... Same bat time, Same bat channel!

Goodnight, my pretties!
