Loss is something everyone hates to go through, because of this, February is an especially hard month for my family. Almost a year ago, my aunt passed away suddenly from bowel cancer that she didn’t know she had.  One day she was ‘healthy’, 2 days later she was gone.  The waves of shock that rippled through my entire family are still felt a year later.  She was an incredible woman, who, without children of her own became a second mother to all of her nieces and nephews. I hope every single day, that she knows how much she was loved. I miss her so and, now with a baby of my own, am saddened by the fact that she’ll never meet my sweet girl.

Yesterday, for the first time in my adult life, I experienced the loss of a pet.  My father called me mid-morning to tell me that he had to have one of our family dogs put down.  I knew I loved Nicky, I knew he was a part of our family, but I was not prepared for the overwhelming grief that I am feeling.  I have been dealing with it by reading tips here, http://www.pet-loss.net/ , and it has been helping me a bit.  I’m trying to focus on the fact that he’s better off now, no longer suffering, but my selfish side just wants to be able to snuggle with him again, I want to be covered with stinky dog kisses.  I can’t believe I’ll never feel them again from my boy.

It’s surprising to me that loss & grief, are actually felt with intensity whether it be for a human or a pet.  My heart hurts, my family is grieving, we all need to be together. So, tomorrow I will drive an hour & a half to be with my family as we grieve the loss of our dog.  He deserves to be remembered.

Now, I am, without a doubt, an overly emotional person.  I’m soft-hearted, so loss really hits me harder than others.  It hangs onto my heart, my soul, my every breath, and refuses to leave my mind for a long time.  I often hope that maybe one day I’ll be able to handle these things better, but I know that feeling them deeply is an essential part of the person I am.   I’m proud of that, only because it means I really care about people. It means that at some point in my life, I loved someone & was loved in return.  You can’t beat that.

Last night my husband and I saw the commercial for “any footlong at Subway only 5 bucks.”  I figured it was a USA only deal as per usual but its actually for Canada too! I checked it out tonight for our late night supper. This is great, usually the $5 subs are just for the few select varieties.  Click here for the calendar of subs.

*Remember its up to the owner of the store if they participate or not results may vary*

Since Clairols last promo was so extremely popular they are offering another freebie tomorrow night at 9pm (est).  This is great for me because I missed out on last weeks since I was in Florida for the past 9 days!  There will only be 10,000 available and this is open to the USA and Canada so they will go very quickly.  Unfortunately this offer is not valid in Quebec, and the coupon is not redeemable until March 1st 2011.

Click here to bookmark their page on Facebook.  If I come across a link for non Facebook users I will post it.

**Here is the direct link without using Facebook.
