I've noticed lately that cereal prices are fucking INSANE! (Or perhaps it is because I've really had to watch my pennies lately... But still, wtf?) average price for a box is about $7.00.
While attempting to make my selection last night in the grocery store, I noticed that the boxes are getting smaller and the prices are getting bigger.
They are trying to be sneaky about it too... They have kept the height and length the same but the boxes are skinnier! The width is smaller. Bastards!
I'm not talkin' the special, sugary, crazy cereal either... I'm a fan of the Special K, Cheerios and Sheddies . The SIMPLE, less sugary, and you'd assume the less pricey choices! NOT THE CASE!
Common, cereal can't be THAT pricey to make... Can it? You're making a billion of the same thing and throwing it in a box.
I'm going on a cereal strike... Fuckers.

Sweaty
I feel the sweat rolling down my face, my legs, my ass, my whole body is soaked. Standing at attention, waiting for inspection is sometimes the worst.
You take a shower and 30 seconds later you're consumed with the feeling of unclean again. It is usually 20C+ here most days.
... I can only imagine that this is just a flicker of what Afghanistan would be like.
It has rained maybe 5 times in the 7 weeks I've been here in Shilo, Manitoba. The grass is mostly all brown now, which makes it annoying when you're doing PT and stretching and it sticks all over your clothing. Hard to keep our rooms inspection ready when there's grass all over the place.
It is crazy that there's flooding around the province but here the grass is dying.
"16" more days here.
(That is in quotations because I really don't know when our last day is.)
19 days until I'm 29.
O.o

BMQ Updater Bloggie
I have some time to kill...
The power is out on base (The whole base? I dunno, but most definitely the parts that matter!) The power is out here in the barracks and, most importantly, the mess hall, where we gobble down "delicious" cafeteria-style food. No power means no food. When you're used to eating at 6 am everyday, the tummy doesn't like to wait. Current wait time: 3 hours and counting. Not that I'm complaining, I know I'm not going to waste away and die if I miss a meal... I could stand to miss a few meals anyway!
The whole business of being a vegetarian and being in the army does have its challenges. I knew that it wasn't going to be a walk in the park, or rather a march in the park (haha!) trying to maintain my no meatness. They have meat in everything here, the salads, the potato salads, the pastas. I've been living off spinach leaves and yogurt... Ok I'm kidding, but it does suck balls some days when you want a hot meal and your only option is rice. Woohoo.
My BMQ course instructors didn't really care that I was a vegetarian. They didn't/wouldn't order me vegetarian boxed lunches or "Hay Box" dinner when we were out in the field all day. There are 2 of us veggie lovaz on this BMQ(L) course (and I think these guys actually care a little more.) so we "get the special treatment", and get to consume a decent meal out in the field besides a few granola bars and puddings.
I would have never thought that I'd enjoy weapons and blowing shit up so much! Who'da thunk! I've been trained on and have shot/used the C7 Rifle, C6 General Purpose Machine Gun, C9 Machine Gun, M72 Rocket Launcher and Grenades. I have some awesome video of me using most of these weapons, I'll post a video on YouTube to share the awesome when I get home.
No lie, BMQ was really hard on me. The course was run by 2PPCLI members, an infantry unit, which means they are hardcore motherfuckers! I'm thankful for them NOW, but I wanted to quit almost every second I was on that course. How embarrassingly weak of me. I still ran and marched through the pain, doubt and misery, determined to stick to it. Thousands have done this before me and I knew that I had it in me to stick to it. I would cry, my weakest moments, and I'd force myself to open my fucking eyes, like really open my eyes and SEE and feel why I was here.
One weak moment that I replay often was when I was marching at the back of the platoon, trying to keep up, I was sore, tired, completely fuckered, tears rolling down my face. My brain was attempting to think of valid reasons as to why I should quit, why I should not be there, how the fuck I could get out of here without seeming like a lame ass quitter... And that's when I looked up as the unit marched left and I saw everyone doing it... I saw the Canadian flags on their left shoulders and I saw the uniform, I saw every last one of them doing it and I felt proud to be apart of them. I felt the honor. I put an end to my fucking pity party, I held my head up high, put my shoulders back and swing my arms high. HUA.
I missed my moms wedding on July 8th because I was here doing my military training. The photos I've see makes me really sad that I missed it but this is something I need to do.
I have approx. 2.5 weeks left here at CFB Shilo. 2.5 weeks left of my BMQ(L) course. Phew. I've been here in Manitoba, gone from my Rubi, gone from my lovelies, gone from my soft sweet comfy bed for 50 days now. I do miss things/someones, but they keep us busy here, I don't really have time to think, let alone miss anything.
I plan on taking a week off when I get back, I'd like to anyways, that would be ideal for my mental and body state.
All this being said, I'm aware that this is just the start and that it is going to get harder. Potentially, I could be away for months and months and physically I need to improve constantly. I'm just writing as it is for me.
I've made some life-long friends while on Basic military Training. I've really connected with some people here. I would have never thought that would happen. You just become a big 'ol stupid family that sometimes fights but always makes up. You're with these people day in, day out. You eat, sleep and shit with these people more than you would with a spouse or friend. There is no getting away from each other, stuck together like glue... Army approved and issued glue.
Power is still out. It's putting a damper on our day. We ate rations for breakfast, lunch is looking to be the same ration pack awesomeness. I get an instant stomach ache when I eat those things. They cannot be all that good for you, like really.
Well, that's it my peeps. I hope you are all well, you should email me/text me and gimme updates on how you are. :)

Veggie Nazi
Subway servers are starting to get on my nerves. I eat at Subway about 3-4 times a week and it seems to be a trend with the Sandwich Artist to be skimp and lame on fulfilling my sub needs. Are they trained to be Veggie Nazi’s? You would think I was asking for their first born! Would it kill them to put on my requested extra lettuce which probably only costs 1 freakin’ cent! I’m not asking for extra cheese or meat! I’m asking for PENNIES worth of veggies! Ugh. /end rant!

Oh Canada
Out of 23.6 million electors in the last election, only 5.2 million voted for Harper's Conservatives. That's 22% of eligible voters, and 16.2% of the total population. There are 5.65 million Canadians aged 18-29. In the past, this age group has voted so little that politicians don't bother with them. If all of Canada's youth voted, they would rock the whole political system! Please repost/share this.

No motion.
I hate feeling stale, stuck, stationary. I hate that at 28 years old my life is on hold. I hate that I am working 2.5 jobs with little to no reward. I hate being tired as fuck. I hate getting up at 4 fucking AM. I hate that I have to give up my fun stuff because I don’t have the time. I hate that I have no time to work out any more. I hate that I don’t get to spend time with my Rubi anymore. I hate that my motivation as to be used up else where.
I hate that I am bitter as fuck right now.

I wouldn't be Fally
I’m generally an emotional writer, meaning, I can only really write shit worth reading when I’m shitty. The following is another fine example.
I've always thought I had a lot of supportive people that surrounded me... but boy was I wrong! Who would have thought that doing what I want (that isn’t harmful to me or others) and doing what makes me happy could be so “wrong” in others eyes.
The MAIN one for today’s blog: Joining the Army Reserve.
People have been fighting me on my decision to join the Reserves since day one. Maybe I won’t be able to do it. Maybe I will fail. Maybe I won’t like it BUT I won’t know unless I try.
For many many years I didn’t do what I wanted because I let my life be influenced by others. It took me exactly 8 years to build up the nerve and enough “balls” to talk to the military, get my questions answered by a recruiter and follow through with what I wanted to do and how I wanted my life to play out.
I guess, when it’s all said and done, it’s a good thing I don’t seek other peoples approval on ways to live my own life because if I did, I wouldn’t have any tattoos, I would look like a fucking Barbie doll, I would dress in business attire every single fucking day. I would wear my hair down, always. I wouldn’t wear the eye makeup I wear. I wouldn’t lift weights or challenge myself to see where I could take my strength. I wouldn’t walk, I wouldn’t run, I wouldn’t always smile, I wouldn’t not smile... basically, I wouldn’t be Fally.

Trying to get my POLITICS on: Canada's Defence
The following is from the NDP site:
http://www.ndp.ca/platform/leadership-on-world-stage#section-6-2
"6.4 Charting a New Course for Canada’s Defence
•We will give the men and women of the Canadian Forces, who put their lives on the line every day, the best equipment to do the job with, proper support and benefits;
•We will focus Canada’s military on three main priorities: defending Canada; providing support for peacemaking, peace-building and peacekeeping around the world; and assisting people facing natural catastrophes, including floods, earthquakes, forest fires and other emergencies, both at home and abroad;
•We will ensure the Canadian Forces are properly staffed, equipped and trained to effectively address the full range of possible military operations arising from these three priorities;
•We will maintain the current planned levels of Defence spending commitments, and we will equip the Canadian military to resume leadership in United Nations peacekeeping operations, with major new missions reviewed and approved by the House of Commons;
•We will improve search and rescue capability to international standards within the current budgetary framework;
•We will draft a Defence White Paper, redefining our military’s role, its priorities and needs, to be completed within 12 months. During that time, all major defence projects will be reviewed;
•We will implement a fair and open process where competitors can offer industrial deals and benefits. Such an open process ensures Canadians get the best price, the military gets what it needs and Canadian industries get the best spin-offs;
•We will review the proposed F-35 purchase as part of the Defence White Paper;
•Within the existing budget, we will establish an annual fund for government shipbuilding. This would provide stability to the industry and include construction of new ships for the Navy and the Coast Guard."

Life, yous crazy!
I've said it before and I'll probably say it time and time again: It is crazy how life works!
Although, I've been pretty stressed out and worried about things lately, life is good and I go to sleep smiling every night.
Business has been extremely slow lately, resulting in Fally not getting paid. There's the good, the bad and the ugly - and thems the shits and smiles when owning a business.
I am personally faced with a lot of thinking to do and decisions to make. Do I seek out a whole new career and leave the company to be run by the rest of the family? Do I look for a "quick job", go out, work my ass off and come back to the company at a later date? Or, do I find part time employment, work both jobs and just make it work?
I could go to Fort Mac, work at a camp job or possibly stay with one of the many friends I have there. This option, although very desirable on the money side of things, doesn't work well with the army reserve nor does it accommodate my pup Rubi very well, and it's not fair to her.
I have a lead on a part time job with flexible hours. I would start work at 5:30 am, which isn't all that bad considering I get up at 4:30 am daily to go to the gym. (However, no more morning gym for me.) I would be finished early afternoon and I would head to the office to do what I need to do until whatever time. This option allows me to work both jobs, stay in the army, have a happier puppy and life can still stay somewhat normal.
I could also just stay local, find an evening job, still do the army thing, do what I can for my company and wing it.
One other option is to collect as much luck and positiveness together and play the lotto (haha!)
So yeah, I have a buncha sheeeit to think about. Ponder wonder thoughts.
Anyway, moving on...
My enrollment ceremony for the army reserve is tomorrow. I'm nervous yet very excited. I've waited and prepared myself for years for this all to happen and it's finally coming together.
I hear a lot of good and bad as well as get a lot of warnings and I'm cautioned about many things regarding the army, basic training and all that jazz. So, I THINK I've mentally prepared myself for everything that is army. I am still physically prepping, and I'll probably never stop doing that.
I will be going to basic training some time this summer but that information is still up in the air. The newest info is that I have to do 2, 4 week training courses for basic training between the months of June, July and August. I guess we will see what the final answer is in the next few weeks.
Adding to my Crazy How Life Works plate, I met an amazing guy and I couldn't be happier with him. We were saying last night that "good things come to those who wait" and how true that is. Dave is pretty great, I'm a lucky girl. I feel like I've known him my whole life.
I won't gush too much about us/him as I would seem mental and borderline insane because we have only really technically been dating a month. Haha :)
I believe that's all I have to update. I haven't said much lately so I figured I was time. Plus, I write better when I'm emotional... Oh you lucky readers you!

Lyrics that hit home...
Save Me
Nicki Minaj
I drove for miles just to find you
and find myself
all these screams
all these voices in my head
you gave me strength
gave me hope
for a lifetime
I never was satisfied
(Chorus)
This time won't you save me
This time won't you save me
Baby I can feel myself givin' up
This time won't you save me
This time won't you save me
Baby I can feel myself givin' up
It's not your fault
I'm a bitch
I'm a monster
Yes I'm a beast
And I feast when I conquer
But I'm alone
On my throne
All these witches
I came this way
All this way
Just to say
(Chorus)
I'm givin' up baby
Yes
I'm givin' up baby
(Spoken)
(Feels like I've been driving for miles and I can't seem to silence these voices in my head. Who'll save me?)
Nicki Minaj
I drove for miles just to find you
and find myself
all these screams
all these voices in my head
you gave me strength
gave me hope
for a lifetime
I never was satisfied
(Chorus)
This time won't you save me
This time won't you save me
Baby I can feel myself givin' up
This time won't you save me
This time won't you save me
Baby I can feel myself givin' up
It's not your fault
I'm a bitch
I'm a monster
Yes I'm a beast
And I feast when I conquer
But I'm alone
On my throne
All these witches
I came this way
All this way
Just to say
(Chorus)
I'm givin' up baby
Yes
I'm givin' up baby
