75th Anniversary

Tomorrow is my Grandma's 75th birthday party. I'm excited for it. My whole family is going to be coming in from all over to party. My aunt is coming in from NY today, my cousins are coming in from Montreal, even a cousin from Calgary is coming in. What a popular lady my gma is.

So since I have nothing new going on, BESIDES SEEING HARRY POTTER YESTERDAY (which was unbelievably amazing) here is a song I found yesterday. It's sad but I like it. :D

Today's Found Things

These are some things I found while scouring the internet today since I can't really do much while I heal.

1. These two Blowfish Shoes. I feel like I'm on the late bus with this one. All the shoes are so pretty and they actually look comfortable to wear. Maybe one day when I'm not a poor student I'll buy a pair.

2. Awesome looking profile pillows DIY by a guest poster I found on ♥elycia today. Definitely going to make one of each of my cats. 

3. This 3 ring set! 

4. Torchwood!!! Ok I didn't actually find it today. I just watched the first three episodes of Miracle Day. It has a completely different feel from the past 3 series which I am really liking. There hasn't been any out right alien talk and I'm excited to see how aliens fit in. 

...

5.  These Pippa's Sandal wedges on shoppop.com. I have a thing for wedges. 

Anyone else find anything interesting today?

Sunday Sweeties

I think it's about time I have a day where I post things that I like of the week or just a series of things that I like. Mostly clothes because well I'm slightly obsessed with them. So for the first post in this series of hopefully many I will focus on...dresses!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Simon the Old

 While I was away in Toronto I had to do something really tough for me. I had to put my cat down. He was really really sick, the vet had told us a month earlier that he had kidney failure. The vet wanted to put him down right then and there but I couldn't do it. My cat honestly had become like a brother and a child to me all in one. I had had him since I was two years old. That's 18 years Simon was in my life.

 But after I arrived back in Toronto a few weeks ago his condition rapidly deteriorated. So my mom took him to the vet and with in hours she had picked me up and we were on our way to put my kitty down. I know that it is for the best. He probably wouldn't have survived that weekend and it would be just cruel to keep him alive any longer. I don't think I will ever stop missing Simon, he was my first pet, but he became more than that to me. He became my companion who I knew could do no harm to me. 

He would have been 20 in September. 

Summer on the Hills

So since I have no internet for the next two months I have come up with a tentative list of goals that are non-internet related to get done this summer. I will probably add more to it as the summer progresses. 

• Clean and organize my room (repeatedly)
• Finish sewing projects
• Redo Etsy photos and add more items to my shop
• Go to the park and read at least twice a week
• Go camping again (I want to go so badly!!)

Back in the Hood

A few days ago I returned to Montreal with no internet in my apartment. I knew this was going to happen. My roommate and I had discussed it obviously before it was cancelled. But I miss it. I miss being able to watch tv shows at my leisure. Mostly because when I get home from work it's usually past 7pm and I feel going to a coffee shop that late is a little unrealistic. I probably only think that way because my computer is HUGE. I mean like 17.5 inch screen. Who needs that, honestly. It's a pain to drag around.

But I am determined to do more this summer that does not involve the internet. Tomorrow I'll post a list of summer goals! Like going to the library. Though I do have to find my library card, I seemed to have misplaced that like everything else I own.  

So now I'm going to sit in Second Cup until some shows are downloaded so I can have something to watch when I get home from babysitting later tonight. 

Driving Lessons

I went driving for the first time ever today. I made my mom take me around the neighbourhood. It was frightening to say the least. I'm just glad I didn't hit any cars or children for that matter. I almost did crash though. Right at the end, of course, when I was trying to pull into the driveway. I was so close to going right into the tree but luckily I stomped on the brakes just in the nick of time.

I don't know if I'll ever go driving again. Well I mean I will but I probably won't really want to. I feel like having a drivers license is just something useful to have. Because I don't plan on driving that much, ever. I guess I'll get better as I do it more, but doing it more just seems scary. Especially in my area where there are an abundance of children constantly in the road playing.

I suppose I'll just have to see how I feel in a couple of days. Maybe I'll get in one more driving lesson before I depart back to Montreal.
