beautiful [procrastination] weather!

I don't really have anything interesting to say other than the weather is fantastic.  Cold, but beautiful.  

Finals are approaching and I am procrastinating studying like no other.  Exercise, tv, movies, Sims, crafts, pinning, cleaning, eating, you name it, I'm doing it.  

A couple of important birthdays are coming up too so I'm getting ready for thooose.

I'm really just writing this as another way to procrastinate so I should probably get back to the books.  I hope that wherever you are the weather is as nice there as it is here!

Sun!

I LOVE THE SUN!!  Yesterday and today I have woken up to blue sky and sun!!  Even though I have lots of studying and writing to do, having the sun around makes me a very happy person!

Beach Walk

There is nothing like going for a walk along the beach on a beautiful afternoon with people you love!  Zoe and I had been sitting inside all day working on homework [and maybe playing some Sims...] so we decided to seize the beautiful day and go for a walk!  We blasted Tegan and Sara on the way down and spent the rest of the time walking and laughing and chatting!  It was a great time!

Fairhaven

Whenever I come home from school I usually spend a day with my nana.  We'll either go to the states or Michael's and then out for lunch.  Today we drove down to the quaint town of Fairhaven in south Bellingham.  It was a beautiful day so we were able to stroll leisurely through the street and wander into the shops and admire the old buildings.  Although there weren't many "shopping" shops it was nice to just walk around and spend time with my nana.  Hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful day too!

weekend fun

This week is reading break!  That means I am home all week!  I'm pretty excited to spend time with my family, see some friends, catch up on some shows and relax on the couch.  So far, I've already spent some quality time with my mom antiquing in Fort Langley, had a night of laughs, food, music and dance and spent a relaxing Sunday napping and movie watching.  The week is off to a good start and I am happy to be in my own bed and being with the people I love!

Family Weekend

This weekend, in honour of BC's first Family Day, my sister came to visit me!  Even though I had a lot of studying to do and was getting over a cold we still managed to have a great time.  We went on night drives, went shopping, ate more crap than I have eaten in a looong time and spent some good quality time chillin in my bed watching the Grammy's and Gilmore Girls. 

Hope everyone else had a great weekend and spent this wonderful holiday with family!

Birthday Weekend

This weekend I went home to celebrate my dad's birthday!  Although it was a quick visit it was nice to see everyone!  We had a turkey dinner complete with mashed potatoes, kale, broccoli and roasted vegetables.  Eating a full meal was a very nice part of being home..
I ended the weekend shopping with my sister and studying for my first midterm of the semester.
Hope you had a good weekend too!

Cadboro Bay

This beach is literally a two minute walk from my house and the past couple of days have been perfectly overcast.  In my opinion, overcast days are the best days to take pictures.  They turn out really well with good lighting and few shadows.

Happy Friday everyone!

Still Sick

It's been another one of those congested, sore-throat, don't really wanna get out of bed kind of days.  Yesterday I went out and stocked up on "get better asap" supplies.  I've found that being away from home is especially tough when you're sick because there is no one to take care of you!  I love having my mumma around to make me soup and give me hugs when I'm not feeling well.  Guess a cozy duvet and squishy pillows and extra strength night time meds will have to do!

Here is my list of "get better asap" supplies

1. Chicken noodle soup (duh)
2. Saltine crackers
3. Soda water
4. Day/Night cold medication
5. Apples
6. Grape juice*

*I read in a pinterest article that grape juice can be very good at preventing the stomach flu.  In the past couple of days a number of my friends have been out with the flu so I thought I would give grape juice a try!

Sick Day

Today I woke up with a sore throat and the sniffles.  Colds and flus are going around right now so after my morning class I came home, made a hot cup of Zen tea and cozied up in bed!
