On Repeat {Oldies}

1. Alanis Morissette: Jagged Little Pill - I love the chick power in these songs. She rocks out and calls guys out on the sh**t they do. I think this is a super empowering album!

2. Cat Stevens: "Moonshadow" - this song always makes me think of my dad. When I was little he used to bring his guitar into my room and play "Moonshadow" right before I fell asleep. I really love this song because of the memories it brings up.

3. Led Zeppelin: "Going to California" - going on a roadtrip. This is what the song makes me dream of. I want to be the blonde haired girl going to California, not necessarily with a broken heart or on a big jet plane but just going. All of the grey weather here is making California look especially appealing.

4. Patti Smith: "Because the Night" - Listening to this song makes me think of some '80s movie with girls dancing in their underwear and singing into hair brushes!

What are some of your favourite oldies??

Cinnamon Buns

Tonight, as Brittney and I were sitting in my room with our heads in our books we decided that we needed sugar... Well I did. We sat there contemplating our options and, although it was a tough call between chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon buns, the cinnamon buns won.

The recipe we used is one passed down from my grandmother... JOKES. We went to Safeway, bought Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls, cracked 'em open, put them in the oven and studied until the glorious timer went alerted us that our treats were ready.

After we drizzled the delectable icing over the tops we inhaled our creations. Although there were pictures of the devouring process, they were far too beautiful for the world to see.

Hope your Tuesday night has been as yummy as mine!

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!
