Quotable

I found a quote a little while ago on tumblr and I found it exceptionally beautiful so I thought I'd share:

I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around invisibly for a day and saw them crying in their bed at night or singing in the shower or humming quietly to themselves as they make a sandwich or even just walking along the street. And even if they were really weird and had no friends at school, I think, after seeing them at their most vulnerable, you wouldn’t be able to help falling in love with them.

Gorgeous. It reminds me that everyone  has a different kind of beauty to them.

Obsessing over: my health! I feel crappier than ever these days. I spent all of yesterday eating halls and sipping on ginger ale and green teas. I'm not going to lie, I become a bit of a baby mentally when I get sick. I say mentally because I don't act like it as much as I think it. I continue to do everything I need to do including making myself go to work and school but in my head I'm convincing myself that I have bronchitus or am possibly dying. Yeah, I'm a wee bit dramatic.

Working on: studying! I have a quiz tomorrow and a midterm Friday. Oh the first midterm of the semester is always the hardest. I have no idea what to expect or how to study for each prof, since they seem to always be so different. This is just the beginning though. I have a paper and I think two midterms next week. Help me.

Thinking about: the long day I'm about to embark upon and how good it's gonna feel when I get home, get into my pajamas and immediately place my butt on the couch. I know that you know that I am a hard core Real World fan and right now The Challenge is on, which if you aren't aware is a show made up of past Real World seasons where they do physical challenges to win money. It's seriously amazing. Wednesday nights I tell Jordan to leave me alone so I can watch my show. Aren't I the sweetest?

Listening to: Little Black Submarine by The Black Keys. I looooovvveee The Black Keys. They are simply amazing. Their Brothers album was the first vinyl I ever bought for my record player. Unfortunately it magically got all scratched so I've really been meaning to replace it plus buy El Camino  but the idea of spending another $35.00 on each is holding me back. Records are expensive and I'm a cheapo. One record per month is probably gonna have to be my new standard!

Wishing for: the ability to go to the gym. Hear me out here people. Now, I dislike working out as much as the next person. I do enjoy it, but if it wasn't necessary, I probably wouldn't do it. Well, now that I'm sick I cannot even begin to think about dragging my butt to the gym, or even out for a jog and that makes me want to even more. I hear it will make you feel better if you work out when you're sick but I'm not buying it. Mostly I want to get my sweat on because of last weekends Thanksgiving festivities. Too much turkey and sitting around makes for a more motivated lady which unfortunately I cannot act upon right now. Boo-hoo.
Happy Wednesday from a sickly lady.

Weekend Update

You'll have to excuse my tardiness on my posts today. It's Canadian thanks giving and even though we celebrated yesterday, I've had the day off and am feeling much too lazy to do anything.

Friday Jordan and I ate dinner and then had a little Dairy Queen date before we went our seperate ways for the night. He went out with the boys and I went to my friends pre-drink and then to the bar. It was so fun but I chose to be DD so the bar was kind of hard to handle when the music was so incredibly loud and people were just plain drunk. 

Saturday I spent the morning making pies with my mom. I am beyond obsessed with how they turned out. I feel like I should have gone to culinary school or something because damn can I impress myself (sometimes!) I had dinner with Jordan and then he drove me, Erika and Shauna to Oktoberfest. We met up with lots of Shauna's friends from Toronto and danced and drank the night away. Amazing. 

Sunday I had to write a whole paper during my hangover. Oh boy, I did not feel good. Could have been the McDonald's run we had at 2am or the fact that I woke up clutching a chocolate bar with another wrapper in my bed. Not one of my finer moments but I got what I needed to get done and then waited for delicious turkey. OH MAN does my momma know how to cook! Me and Jordan spent the night watching the Walking Dead and scary movies.

Today Jordan and I lazed around ALL DAY. It was wonderful. We watched Band of Brothers while I worked on his scarf. Perfect day. I came home after dinner to get back to the real world. I cleaned my entire apartment very thoroughly and now I'm sitting with a giant pile of books next to me, trying to avoid the fact that I have one test and one midterm this week. Crap. Maybe I'll put it off a little longer, just until tomorrow. 

I'll stop typing now. I'm sure you've had your fill of my life by now. Happy Monday my friends and know that I am thankful for anyone out there who takes the time to read my little old blog.

Secret of the Week

Not only do I love this secret because it is adorable but because the ticket is going to Toronto, ON. That means this secret comes from close to home. I love that.

I am the Walking Dead

Life has been a bit of a blur this week. I'm running around like crazy and doing anything I can to stay sane. I'm just feeling incredibly exhausted and I do believe that I really am losing my battle against whatever has been going around lately. Oh no.

I went to bed at 11 last night due to pure exhaustion. I woke up at 8 this morning and ran off to the mall with my mom, my sister and the two toddlers she nannies, Everette and Peighton. They are too adorable. When my mom and I came home I hit the books and tried my best to fight my fatigue. After I was done I gave into it and took a nice little nap. I just cannot feel awake these days no matter what I do.

Tomorrow I have a very long day at school hopefully followed by a relaxing night watching scary movies with Jordan. Saturday Me and Erika and Shauna, my two very best friends in the world, are going Oktoberfesting. It's on my Fall 2012 list so that's another thing to scratch off! I'm so excited especially because Shauna moved to Toronto when we all started school 3 years ago so any time we get to play with her is a great time! Sunday is Thanksgiving...and I have a paper due. So harsh. Gonna have to try to fit that in somewhere and then starts midterm season. Prepare to hear more tales about me being incredibly tired and incredibly overworked.

Ohhhh fall, you are so beautiful, but you're wearing me out! Take it easy, okay?

Oh Happy Day

It's Tuesday today which I have come to known as a day of sleeping in, hanging out in pyjamas, doing my homework and watching movies. I really love Tuesdays. These rules also apply to Thursdays.

It was tough for me to get out of bed today. Since I work Mondays and Wednesday and have Tuesdays and Thursdays off I usually stay up super late Sundays, go to be early Mondays, sleep in Tuesdays and then start the cycle over. I know, it's bad but I can't help it. This morning I tried to get up at 9:30 but just couldn't until 11. Life is tough over here. I've been getting readings done and watching The Breakfast Club all day. Literally, all day. I just keep restarting it. I'm really obsessed with Bender. I love how affected he is by everything Claire says. I always watch for his reactions. Biggest 80s crush for sure.

Tonight Erika and I are seeing Pitch Perfect again. We just LOVE it! We listened to the soundtrack all the way to the gym last night and all the way home. It's gold. At the gym I ran 5k and DAMN was it hard. I'm trying to get ready for the 5K me and Jordan want to run. We haven't signed up yet but we really need to soon. I'm mostly scared because no matter what I won't be ready but maybe that's why I should just take the leap.

Have a happy Tuesday little bitties!

P.S Like my new mani!? Accent nails are my new obsession!

It's my Month

Today is a very special day. Today is the first day of October. Now, I know you must be sick of me talking about fall but I just cannot apologize for it. It's the best and you only have about one more month of it so please, bear with me. By the time November comes winter will be on it's way and I'm not nearly as enthusiastic about Christmas so you shouldn't have to worry there.

Here are some of my favourite fall inspirations from Pinterest:

I'm most excited about the pumpkin cream cheese. MMMMMMM! I'm also hoping to bake a beautiful pie this month. I think that's on the schedule for this weekend. We will see if I'm feeling ambitious enough to make one of the pies above! I also need to add to my fall list and scary movie marathon list and then start crossing things off.

Oh boy, the first day of October is so full of possibilities!
