Christmas love.
This year for Christmas I was surprised with the most thoughtful gift I have ever received- something that I will never, ever forget. A few months ago Joey bought me a ticket to go visit him in Hong Kong during my spring break, and we decided that that would be my Christmas gift. As Christmas got closer and closer, Joey started to tell me how much he still wanted something under the tree for me on...
I am going to Chapters and I'm going to buy this... →

I came very close to buying this many times over the past few months! Let me know how it is : )
Spending time with friends and family while on...
Will be back soon.. xo
I had a wonderful Christmas.
And it isn’t over yet!! Will write in a few days- so much to talk about <3
My parents have way too many remotes in their...
My brother and I just spent ten mins trying to figure out how to play a movie but we had to use six different remotes, turn on then off the dvd player twice, and then tried for another ten mins to turn off closed captioning without any success. We are finally watching “christmas vacation” while reading the closed captioning.
I have yet to learn the appropriate amount of...
Even when I think I’ve got the right amount- it’s wayyyy too much!
Time to watch Love Actually, finish wrapping one...
Good night everyone.
Lucky, lucky, lucky.
I don’t need anything else this Christmas. I am home, visiting with family and friends, have the most incredible person to share my life with, a belly full of Christmas cookies, so many people I love that I don’t know how I will see them all and a life in Edmonton that I’m not sad to be returning to when it’s all done. I am lucky.
I secretly want to see the new Karate Kid movie.
Tomorrow is haircut day!
I’m excited. It’s been a loong time since I cut my hair (a real haircut that is) and I am nervous/excited and hoping that it doesn’t turn out to be a disaster. Will post a picture tomorrow! Wish me luck : )
I'm finally on the east coast
and having far too much fun right now to be on tumblr. Will be back in a couple of days!
I have the worst luck with flights..
stuck in Calgary till tomorrow night. hopefully I make it home for christmas!
Off to the maritimes today : )
I am exhausted, not fully packed yet and really quite hungry (we haven;t bought new groceries in anticipation of our three weeks away) so we’re scrounging for the bare essentials here! Happy holidays everyone- will tumbl once I’m all settled (and after my day of traveling!). xo
I am not capable of packing ahead of time.
My flight leaves early tomorrow morning and I am not close to being done now.. buut good news is I am going home tomorrow! Very excited and can’t wait for the holiday season to start. Better get back to it..
Yesterday Edmonton was the second coldest place on...
On Earth. Not just in Canada! The first was Siberia. I’m not sure I believe this whole global warming thing……
I would love to be watching Home Alone (or any...
Instead I am studying away at my desk under the stairs, Harry Potter style, on a Saturday night. Is exam time over yet??
I had a lot of crazies come into the restaurant...
I do not like being constantly tapped/snapped at/called after when I’m blatantly helping another table nearby. Please be aware that we were two servers short, I was racing around to get to you in a timely manner and that by snapping and tapping me when I’m busy, I’m going to take twice as long to get to you. Nice people get served first. Thank you!
Only three days left till I leave for the...
I’m very excited! Just have to make it through the next couple of days- working today, then study, study, study until Monday afternoon for my last exam. Then I’m off to do a bit more Christmas shopping, packing and Joe and I fly out at 10am. Lots to do, I’m sure we’ll be exhausted but I am so very excited! The holidays this year are going to be filled with reunions, lots of...
I love trinkets.
I was searching through etsy this morning and found some trinkets I would love to decorate out apartment with! Here are some that I just fell in love with.
This owl is so cute! Not sure where I would put him, but I’m sure we could work something out. via
I’m a huge fan of pretty writing on things and we’re in desperate need of some more pillows in our apartment! via
I...
Note To Self:
just because you are done your hardest exam, doesn’t mean that you are done exams. GO STUDY!
Haircut alert.
Ever since deciding to get my hair cut I’ve been scoping out haircuts wherever I go to get some inspiration. I am tired of my long hair, how lack-luster it is at this length and am in need of a serious change. I go through phases with my hair, and I could have predicted this a long time ago. I’ll grow my hair out long, suddenly chop it really short, and then grow it back out for a...
I seriously love Christmas shopping.
Is it possible to just
skip this whole school thing and have a career already?!
I would like my life back, please.
3 exams. In 3 days. Starting tomorrow..
I would like to fastforward to Dec. 15th please.
In final exam mode.
My posting will be sporadic from now until next Thursday.. wish me luck!
Today I spent 90 dollars on
a small tube of hand cream. Yes, hand cream. It’s from my dermatologist and is supposed to heal my hand. It better have unicorn tears in it and do some crazy magical things at that price. Yeeesh.
Do you know what's not cool?
Putting a mandatory staff meeting at 5pm on a Friday night. But don’t worry, “it shouldn’t last more than a few hours” says my restaurant manager….
I should really be studying right now..
.. but for some reason I’m not.
Baby, it's cold outside.
I just figured out how to tumbl from my...
This has added a whole new level of procrastination to my life.
I am so desperate for a haircut.
Dec. 22 can’t come soon enough. I need, need, need to find a hairdresser in Edmonton. It’s sad when I can only get my hair cut every time I go back to the East coast. Should I go super short or keep it medium long?
Look what came in the mail today!!
A really sweet card from marseeah : )
Needless to say I was uber excited and took this picture as soon as I came in the door!! Also, I think your drawings are wonderful and would love to share some wine with you some day! I will be sending a thank you card to your thank you card as promised : )
Waste Less December
katietower:
This may not interest many people, but I have just come to a very sobering realization: I waste a lot of food.
Today, on the way home from work, I stopped at the local grocer to get something for dinner. I also needed milk and eggs. So there I was. I spent around $30, which included a salad from the salad bar in the store. On the way home I remembered how much left over food and...
