One Song, Two Ways

I have an obsession with finding different versions of songs. If I fall in love with a song then I want to hear it accoustic, faster, slower, remixed...everything. It gives you a new way to fall in love with a song.

This is a song that I've been obsessed with lately:

Please ignore the random video made by some random youtube uploader.

I first heard this song when I was watching Whip It and forgot about it until last week when I looked it up on grooveshark.com and then proceeded to play it on repeat. 

Then, while looking it up on youtube I found this:

This acoustic version features Alia Shawkat who is also in the movie with the singer Landon Pigg. Basically a Whip It reunion a la youtube.

Right now I'm pretty obsessed with the acoustic version but I suggest falling in love with the original first. 

Enjoy my little piece of musical happiness that I've dropped on you today!

Gif-tober

Halloween is coming very very very soon! I don't have a costume! I'm thinking of being a lame and stereotypical girl and just throwing some animal ears on and donning all black. I'm basically putting my favourite holiday to shame but hey...I'm cheap.

Weekends

A weekend...what is that again? I think I vaguely remember what a weekend is...I think it's one of those things that lucky people get to enjoy. Me? No, I don't get to enjoy the weekend you speak of. I work instead.

Since I've got two jobs now... a day job and a part time job, I now get to spend the weekends selling bras to people. Doesn't that sound like fun? Well, I guess it can be. I get to work with some fun girls and I run around a lot (instead of parking my butt on the couch all weekend) and I get to make money!

All through high school (and in second year of university) I had a part time job and was very used to working weekends. I remember once seeing someone my age come into my work and thinking "Why aren't they working today? What do you do with your weekend if you're not working?" Yeah...that's how accustomed I'd come to working weekends. For the last two years I haven't worked a single weekend and that suited me just fine. Now, I'm back to my old ways.

The thing I've now noticed is that I savour the parts of the weekend that I do get to enjoy. Saturday I worked from 8:30am-12:30pm and had the whole afternoon and night! When I got home from work I really soaked up my Saturday afternoon. I drank coffee, cuddled up in a warm sweater and hung out in bed watching Netflix. It was pretty awesome. It was like I forgot how awesome weekends were. Silly me.

So the moral of this story is that having something taken away from me only made me appreciate it more. Ain't that just the way of the world?

You better believe that the fact that I've been off work since 5:30 tonight means that I've been living it up Sunday night style as well. Hooray for the little things.

Fall Traditions

1. The beautiful farm we went to to pick pumpkins. They also have corn every year. I've been eating their corn since I was a little girl. Their farm is very much a part of summer and fall to me.
2 &3. Picking out my pumpkin! I needed the purrrfect one to make a cat-o-lantern.
4. My little baby Jack-o-lantern. I love this cute little boy!
5 &6. I got to go apple picking yesterday with these silly guys. It was fun to run around picking apples, tasting them and just enjoying the beautiful Fall day!
7. Jordan and I showed off our artistic skills with our beautiful pumpkins. We even baked some pumpkin seeds too!

My favourite thing about all of these amazing Fall traditions has been the people I've been able to do them with. I'm so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. I'm a very lucky girl.

Hope all of you Canadians had a happy a very FULL Thanksgiving. Don't worry my American friends, your time to stuff your bellies is coming!
