This month I am vowing to be better at keeping in touch with my friends from back home. I have hardly talked to any of them this past month and I know it’s because I’ve been slacking in that area. Sometimes it’s just tough.. but I’m going to put in more effort because all of my friends are worth it and the last thing I would want is to lose touch with them. Let the...
I'm addicted to buying books.

Update:
My hand is feeling better although I may have to cancel my plans to go snowboarding this weekend :( Which actually makes me really sad because I was really looking forward to that. Insurance issues however, are still up in the air- but I’m less stressed about it because I think it should all work out. I’m trying to worry less about things, starting with this. Whatever happens, happens....
Today was not my day.
I cut my hand while doing something incredibly dumb (separating frozen burgers with a knife) and ended up getting stitches. I’m also not insured (don’t we have free health care in canada?????) and its turning into a major stress dealing with everything. Today was not my day.
I really want to go shopping.
I should
be doing some yoga tonight. But after working late and having a pretty tiring day I think I’m going to go for some tea and mindless-ness. MUST get to yoga tomorrow…
Tonight
I spent like three hours in my kitchen.. I made seafood chowder for supper and homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Delllicious!! Then cleaning up and before I knew it, it was nine o clock. Now it’s time for The Bachelor (a guilty pleasure of mine) and a quick shower before heading to bed. I don’t like this whole “work business” where before I know it my evening is...

I have the tunes going, candles are lit and I’m excited to do something just for me right now. It could turn out terribly, but right now I don’t really care. I’m trying new things lately and this has been on my list for a long time! Time to go be a little creative and see what happens…
This song just came on my playlist and it made me...

Reasons why Edmonton Transit = the worst:
1.) Bus stop times are arbitrary. They say 8am, but this could mean anywhere between 7:50am and 8:30am.
2.) Driving past bus stops is acceptable- even when the bus isn’t full. I mean, people can just get on the next one right??
3.) Waiting thirty minutes is a normal wait for any bus to arrive, and then three or four buses (often going to the exact same place) arrive at the same time. So...
Note to Self:
When telling a two year old you have made her a “special treat”, make sure that this treat is not something for supper, i.e. balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, because it will not end well.
Side note: she really does love balsamic vinaigrette, this wasn’t some cruel joke I decided to play at supper time haha
Just saw Slumdog Millionaire.
It was just as good as the reviews predicted. What a sweet story, the music was amazing through the movie and it makes me want to travel. The only complaint I have is that I saw it in a really big, old theatre where it was sometimes a bit hard to catch everything they were saying. But honestly, such a great way to spend my night.
I'm in a really strange mood tonight. I'm blaming...

I really enjoyed these.
New friends
I just went on a great double date with two wonderful new friends I’ve met since moving to Edmonton. It was so nice to spend time with them, eat some sushi and catch up since we’ve all been so busy the past few weeks. We also made plans to go on a ski vacation away in a month or two which I am so excited about! I miss my friends back home, but meeting new friends has been such an...
Working on it
Lately I’ve been in a huge rut. Something has been missing and it’s been building up to a lot of frustration in my life. I feel like something is missing and that I’m not myself these days. I’m the type of person who is involved in everything, loves to be busy and feel accomplished. Right now I feel like I am none of this. It’s been a huge learning curve for me to...
I'm feeling uninspired.
I think I need a mini break from tumblr because I feel like I’m on tumblr overload. So tomorrow and maybe the next day I’m taking time away from it. See you in a couple of days.
I love
books and that I no longer feel like a nerd/loser for loving them so much, going to the movies, eating pomegranates, playing in the snow with “my” little girls, waking up beside someone very special everyday, the comfort of my bed, my cottage and waking up early in the morning to drink my tea beside the ocean, the ocean (more than most things in this world), tea, planning for my...

And it makes me really sad to think that these situations (minus of course the hold up) actually do happen.
