The Michael Jackson 3D tribute
gave me a horrible headache. I’m sorry but I don’t have a pair of 3D glasses laying around my apartment and the 3D effects hurt my eyes so much I had to turn off the tv until it was done.. I’d say that was a fail.
I'm in serious need of some dancing.
I haven’t gone out in a long time. I mean, a long time. School, work, everything else has gotten in the way. And to be honest- I’m much more inclined to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie on a weekend than go out drinking at bars around town. Tonight however, I wish I didn’t have a paper to write, laundry to do, sleep to get for my long day tomorrow- and that I could just go...

I loved that!

Soo beautiful.
Dear facebook users,
Please don’t post pictures of your positive pregnancy test with the caption “Oh no” because that is just awful. Actually- just don’t post any pregnancy test pictures at all because that is creepy and weird and too much information. Thanks.
Life goes by too fast.
I’m approaching 2 years since graduating university. 2 years since I roamed the halls of that school. 6 years since I walked across the stage full of sadness and excitement at my high school. 10 years since I was a skinny, awkward girl with braces. 14 years since I started to think maybe boys weren’t so gross after all. 16 years since my family got our family dog. 18 years since my...
Someone is walking up and down the hallway of my...
and knocking on everyone’s door… it’s starting to freak me out a little bit as to who is in our building and how they got in. I just triple checked to make sure my doors are locked. Oh and fyi landlord- please make peep holes accessible to people who are under 6 feet tall.. because seriously I need a ladder to see out of mine. Thanks.
Things that cheer me up:
-having friends who I can vent to about things- especially friends who get that I can’t be positive all the time.
-reading love letters over and over again
-putting on music far too loudly (especially music that is upbeat and is conducive to head bobbing, booty shaking and other embarrassing dance moves I only do on my own- or when I’ve had a few too many drinks!)
-a clean...
I just watched dozens of elementary kids
run out of their school and start playing in the snow while waiting for my bus. It made my awful day slightly better by seeing how happy kids are at the smallest things. Maybe I should take some advice from them today.
Horrible start to the day.
Here’s hoping it gets better…
Harry Connick Jr.
always makes me laugh! I love his interviews on Ellen. So hilarious!
I put on some Journey tunes tonight
and thought about you for a while. I can never listen to “Don’t Stop Believing” without a little head bobbing and smiling at how much you love this song. 18 days until we can rock out to this song together, Hong Kong karaoke style : )

My friend katie picked out the recipe for the week and it was Fancy Macaroni. All in all it was a great first recipe and it was sooo good! It felt very satisfying to make the cheese sauce all on my own and do something a bit different for dinner (considering a few times this week I have had cheerios for supper! Eek). So here are some pics of the process and how it turned out in the end.

Dave Matthews Band, Steady As We Go
Today I felt lonely.
Seinfeld discussion on the bus
Man 1: And then elaine goes "blahahaha" (raises fingers to head in devil horn way and sticks out tongue)
Man 2: Man that was an awesome episode! She was talking to the priest with George right?
Man 1: No it wasn't George.. it was that guy. He was big..
Man 2: Oh right! The mechanic.
Man 1: What was his name...
Me: (trying to keep silent....)
Man 2: It was a weird one...
Man 1: This is going to drive me crazy all day long!
Me: (As I step off the bus) His name was Puddy!!
Man 1 and 2: PUDDY!!!! You just made our day!
I just heard a song that made me long for...
I know I’m technically still in university right now, but it made me miss MY university. MTA. The school where I made some lifelong, unbelievable friends, where I poured my heart into everything I did, partied harder than I ever have before, wore more costumes/themed outfits than all of my previous years combined, where I lived in a residence that prided itself on being like a family, being...
20 Days
Until I get to explore Hong Kong! I am getting unbelievably excited!
Tumblr is not cooperating.
None of my posts seem to be showing up anymore..
Wish List:
This beautiful watch ring from etsy. Oh how I would love to have this!
This long grey sweater from J Crew. I am a sucker for grey, sweaters with big buttons and long cardigans. I think maybe this was made for me.
Soon it’s going to be spring (that may be wishful thinking!) and I am in need of some rubber boots. These hunter wellingtons would be absolutely perfect..
Puppies on my mind.
Since Joey is allergic- we are looking at getting a goldendoodle (perhaps sometime in the next couple of years). Ever since we’ve been talking about it I’ve been looking up pictures, info etc. about them (maybe as a work procrastination..) and they are just too adorable!
I am already in love!
It has been a long time since I have been this...
It is 8:45pm and I’m done. Good night everyone :)
Perspective.
I’m working on it.
I could not sleep last night :(
And have been up since 3:30 am. Ugh. Happy Tuesday….
Day 2/54
I got to open my second letter today - and they are fast becoming the best part of my day. I woke up extra early and couldn’t wait to read it. It’s the best way to wake up in the morning. This is going to be manageable- I’m slowly adjusting to having music as my company and grocery shopping for just one. But nothing beats having him here.
My heart just landed in San Francisco..
even though I’m still in Edmonton.
On my way to the airport....
going to try to keep it together :(
Two months doesn’t sound like a long time until you’re saying good-bye to the person you love most for that long.

Today is Thursday.
And he leaves Saturday :(
Day 1
of my clinical was overwhelming, exhilarating and quite unbelievable. I can’t really share all that happened- I’m not comfortable blogging about it to be honest- but I handled something I didn’t expect to have to deal with on my very first shift. It was surreal to go through and I was proud of how I handled myself and the situation. Now I’m off for my second day and...
Some things I'm going to miss.
-the way he leaves empty cereal boxes on the counter instead of putting them in the garbage
-the way he picks at his fingernails when he’s reading or watching tv
-the way his sweaters collect on the corner of our couch until I take them back upstairs
-how he turns all of his clothes inside out when he takes them off so it takes me twice as long to fold them when they come out of the...
I have a hard time being productive in the morning
when I don’t have anywhere to be until lunch time or after. I don’t know why- but it’s the time of day I struggle most to actually do something. Whereas- if I have class, work, a meeting in the morning- I’m up and ready to go. I need to change this seeing as I’m working half evening shifts over the next few months and I need to get some stuff done in the mornings.
Tomorrow is a big day.
It’s my first day as a nurse-in-training at the hospital. I’m nervous and excited and can’t wait to get into the groove of things! Wish me luck everyone!
Celebrating 5 years
with an incredible man today. Sushi and curling up on the couch is what’s in store for me tonight! Only 6 days till he’s gone for two months so I’m squeezing in as much time as possible with him as I can! xo
I have a really busy couple of months ahead of me.
And I’m really excited about it all! Here’s what’s in store for me:
-starting my clinical work THIS tuesday! (So excited for this!)
-beginning an exciting project with my beautiful friend katie
-traveling to Hong Kong in February! This should almost be number one…
-helping my friends Michelle and Kellie plan their weddings! It seems like a lot of people have caught...
I've been on a mini hiatus.
The past few days have been hectic, tiring and surprisingly emotional for me. In the middle of coming back to Edmonton I had a bad cold (one of those annoying ones that makes it nearly impossible to breathe out of your nose or pronounce words correctly!) and was jet lagged for a few days. I also had a hectic couple of days back in school- sorting out things that the faculty had messed up (like...
