Finally

I finished my scarf. It took me a few months and a couple of balls of yarns its not long but it is thick. I LOVE the colour

Wanted to get rid of some pictures on my camera

The thickest pizza i've ever made . . . it was no yeast dough I should've know it was going to be huge from the 5 cups of flour and 4 tablespoons of baking powder the recipe called for . . .

I made spinach waffles for dinner one time.

Katie came over for tea one day . . . this is not even half the selection of teas that I have. . . I made blueberry scones and oatmeal cinnamon scones . . . blueberry were the best.

The 2nd time I made perogies. Turned out pretty good and better than the last

I went to Katie's for tea and I made blueberry struesel muffins and . . .

Oatmeal chocolate chip muffins

another birthday card

So it's my friends birthday tomorrow and I made her a card . . . it was kinda rushed but I had this amazing idea in my head then it just never came out the way I planned. She's studying to be a personal trainer hence the physically active person and the card is in the shape of Australia. Why? because she and I and my sister plan on moving to Australia in a couple years for AT LEAST a year. You have NO idea how excited we are about it.

I keep looking around my room thinking "what can I take and what do I leave" I gotta start downsizing. Don't get me wrong it's a TERRIFYING thought completely moving my life to another continent let alone another city but it's also the thought of starting over somewhere else. We get so accustomed and attached to THINGS that knowing I can't take everything with me will force me to throw out what I REALLY don't need and really should have thrown out a long time ago.

Until then we will all be saving money like crazy. I keep calculating things in my head and I have to not do all this random spending. I know WHAT I need and what I really don't need to be spending money on. Also by then Meshe will be done school, Emma will be done school and I will be a certified yoga teacher :) (school starts in the fall I'm psyched for that)

Emma knows someone who owns a place in Perth that is apparently empty a lot of the time hopefully it'll be still available before we go. ALSO David Suzuki has a home in Australia it's not random he's Emma uncle. YEAH I KNOW RIGHT?! And his wife (her mom's cousin) said she's always welcome to come visit.

Though I'd shove in a belated Manic Monday in there for old time sake. New sweater from Winners. (no more pointless random expensive trips to Winners anymore)

Bored I was . . . .

I hung an empty picture on my wall for the longest while and all it had was the license plate in in and other things that I've removed. I plan on doing the rest of my wall around this frame but this is what I did. . .

My four favorite British lads. . . John, Paul, Ringo & George.

Something about a cute boy with guitar. These are my fave boys Jamie, Joseph & Ryan.

Places I'd like to go. Ok so the first 3 pictures are of India and the last of Venice. But they were just beautiful pictures of India I have to add Greece, San Francisco among other places.

A co-worker drew on my cup and I cut out the part he drew it's the center of all this.

My FAVORITE places in the world Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Dublin. I forgot Paris.

Another of my fave places, Brighton. Above that Jamie and his gorgeous smile.

Three of the most amazing kids I know. Ely, Diego and Ely's little brother Ryland.

Julz got me this Imagine picture when she went to Europe (I forgot where she said . . . it's at the tip of my tongue anyways I love it) and an old picture.

Ticket from a concert of one of my fave more recent bands . . . no more recent fave band . . . oh you get the point Young the Giant. It was great except for the two drunk kids who went crazy and got in everybody's way.

Tis the season

Yesterday I made little goodie bags for people at work (well the people whose company i enjoy :P)

Chocolate covered pretzels with chopped up pieces of candy canes, red sugar, and red white and green sprinkles

Red star sugar cookies. These were kind of a pain to make.

Candy Cane Brownies.

The end result.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Alirhgt Alright I Apologize

Ok so this ISN'T monday but the pictures ARE from monday I was just not feeling well monday night and forgot yesterday. I got this new top from Winners . . . NO that's a lie I got it form Forever 21 HA!

I honestly don't have any more to say on that matter. ok 3 new exciting things in my life?

1. YOUNG THE GIANT in concert next week WOOOOOO!!

2. I play an acoustic show my first in 2 years (and technically my 2nd show EVER) the week after

3. I've been asked to be apart of this sketch comedy group that's actually gonna film. So I get to write act and show some musical talent. awesome? i think so

ok i'm out I'm tired.

helllooo

Another manic monday yet again . . .

Grey sweater: Urban Outfitters . . . I cut the neck bigger

Green tank (underneath): uh . . . can't remember

Black leggins: oh god who knows

awesome Black boots: Meshe's friend's sister? (one of the Epp sisters)

I have lots of other news but I am just tooo tired at the moment. I am going to bed. Night.

It's been a while . . .

What was going on? I have no idea. i was away one monday and was not using the internet and then I forgot the next two mondays . . . oops.

I got a new hat :)new necklace . . . its OM the eternal sound . . .

some new bracelets too.

the black tank is FAIRLY new.

I am so out of it today though . . . It's taking me all my energy to stay awake right now. My ribs hurt and slammed my knee into the dish washer door at work sooo much fun . . .

OOH I went to see roller derby on saturday night a double header championships game. It was soo much fun even though I went by myself. I've decided I am going to give roller derby a try lifes to short not to try things you want to .

ALSO on a somewhat exciting note WHILE I was away in Powell River visiting my mom for a few days I got an email from a couple of guys who were looking for a singer for their "dreampop" group (I know it sounds weird but they have a really good sound that I liked) they sent me a demo of one of their songs asking for a vocal and lyric demo which I did and sent it back and they LOVED it bbuuuuttt they had also got a number of responses to their ad on craigslist (thats how they found me through MY ad) and were listening to other people and was supposedly suppose to be making a decision this weekend and I haven't heard back hopefully they haven't decided yet. Its exciting stuff but hey they contacted me. http://feralsmusic.bandcamp.com/ here's what they sound like.

I also got another offer from a friend at work to be in this comedy thing. I'm not too sure about the details but it sounds pretty amazing and exciting.

And that's all for manic monday haven't written this much in a long time.

I just remembered

I was just about to go to bed and I remembered what I forgot to do. I get side tracked pretty darn easily. Yea there's a ribbon on my wrist I wore it all day at work and no one said anything and I forgot to take it off for this picture.

I thought we had no internet . . .

It wasn't working for the past few days so we decided to call shaw and BUY internet instead of stealing it. They were suppose was to come today between 5-8pm buut i had yoga at 530 and my sister had work til 530 and OF COURSE they come at 5:04! we have to wait til monday . . . so thinking there was no internet I baked then I find out WE HAVE "OUR" internet back . . .

I had nothing better to do then make tiny cookies. The top is lil thumbprint cookies, the middle is peanut butter drops and the bottom one are lil chocolate chip ones which I made first and thats why they look so weird but they taste AWESOME

well well well

Usually I lay out what I am going to wear the next day the night before so I'm not humming and ha-ing over what to wear. Last night I did not have time nor did I have time in the morning. So this is what I grabbed. I hope I didn't already wear this.

M-M-Manic Monday

Hello hello . . . it was a beautiful August 8th actually it still is . . . wow I just lost my train of thought . . . I hate it when that happens . . .

Blue striped shirt - thirfted

black yoga shorts (yea i wore these . . .yeah they're short) - yyoga warehouse sale :)

Recent thrift store purchases. I had recently gone through my clothes and got rid of a shit load and I trade in clothes for music good trade I think

I got this before the music for clothes switch. But it was ONLY $2 and I have not seen this before but I like Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase so it's bound to be funny.

tiny Razorlight record has Golden Touch which is one of my fave songs by them. I THINK they're British . . .?

Joni Mitchell! it has one of my ALL TIME fave songs . . .Case of You

and of course the unforgettable Nat King Cole. . .

and that's about it folks.

ps there is a very exciting art project I am planning . . . in the near future

I'M SORRY SORRY

I Had a legit reason for no manic monday yesterday and I was so excited too cause I didn't work and I thought I'd have it up early. My internet was just not working. In the morning it was fine and then i went grocery shopping and came back and IT WASN'T WORKING!

So yesterday was a gorgeous day even though I ended up staying inside most of the time . . . I know I know what was I thinking.

Black cardigan - thrifted

Nirvana tank - H&M

Dark green Shorts (you can't tell) - Thrifted also

They said sun . . .

Well we do have some sun buuutt it's windy and kinda coldish . . . sorta . . . shush.

Ok . . .

Today I am wearing a very girly tank top that use to be tight around the hip area, now ITS NOT. :).

Dark green short, black cardigan (for work)

without cardigan

the detail on the bottom.

That's all folks . . . I got some research to do now. See ya!

I feel very 60s right now . . .

I'm on my way to a friends birthday dinner . . . well in about an hour and a half. I had planned out what I was gonna wear but it didn't work out and I wanted to wear the green ribbon in my hair so I chose this dress. . . yes its quite short thats why I'm wearing shorts underneath.

Dress: value village . . .?

Head scarf/ribbon: Nana Babs (my mom's aunt)

Can't decide on the shoes yet.

and thats it . . . I'm bored and very hungry!

Happy Manic Monday!

Though today was rather bleek I was in a REALLY good mood today . . . well I pretty good mood. I've been in a pretty good mood lately. I think its because I've finally settled down and have nothing to stress about. So what has happened since last Monday?

1. I started recording in the studio again :D pretty much done 1 of 6 songs

2. I emailed my dance teacher about there being more (contemporary dance) classes cuz the summer session is done this week and I didn't like the fact that they were and she said there will be more in september and that "you're making awesome progress by the way - you're a natural" that just about made my year! I know I'm lame

3. hmm . . . can't think of anything.

Ok so I told you before that at work we have purple mondays and I wasn't going along with it for a while cuz who wants to see me wear purple every monday? I don't! I didn't really wanna wear these today but I was compromising with Daria.

Dunno if you can see it but I'm wearing a braided head band that looks like its part of my hair. I got it a while back but never wore it until now!

New necklace I got from H&M . . . yesterday? yea! yesterday just before ballet class where I witness my teacher and the pianist have a shouting matching over us going 5 mins over class . . . the pianist wanted to leave it REALLY wasn't a big deal. Anyways off topic I am. The lacy part is just my bra :P

Ok I think I'm done. I really gotta start doing some crafts!

Oh i decided to try to do another music project where I'd post a song on youtube every Thursday but I need a cool name for it . . . like some kind of cool alliteration . . . It'll come to me eventually. Or maybe sunday cause thursdays and sundays are my days off.

Ok I gotta leave for hip hop soonish . . . this time its more fun though I'm still pretty white when I dance. My sister said I looked like a dancer trying to do hip hop. At least I looked like a dancer.

BYE!
