Moving day tomorrow
I can’t believe the day has come!! We are finally moving into our apartment tomorrow - and there is SO. MUCH. STUFF. I don’t know how we are going to fit everything into 850 square feet but let me tell ya, 2 apartments turned 1 apartment = predicted storage nightmare.
The roomie and I made a bad judgement call yesterday and moved some boxes at 2:30am in the morning… not a good...
I really didn't want to use this blog as an outlet...
I HAVE to vent.
I truly believe that some people who are miserable in their personal lives enjoy making other people just as miserable as they are. Specifically, 2 horrible, horrible people at my work.
There are so many barriers being put up at my work place right now that it doesn’t even make sense. You would think that if an organization is in a deficit that they would welcome...

Orlando?
So instead of Vegas…
Orlando? Everglades? Cirque La Nouba? Disney World? Hogwarts?
Does that sound better than gambling & buffets? UM I THINK SO! (if only slightly)

Let's start Thursday with some gluttony!
I know Cheesecake Factory is probably the worst thing for your health but it’s a ‘must-have’ when I go across the border.
We started with this delicious app - Spicy Ahi Tuna Tempura roll
Then we ordered 2 entrees to share:
Fish (tempura cod) tacos with cabbage, avocado, tomatoes, black beans & mexican rice. YUMMMMMM. We demolished this in minutes!!
Cajun...

The Bachelor
CHANTAL IS BACK!? OH GOD.
God, this show makes me so mad. All of the girls are so dramatic and emotional. You do NOT know if he’s the ‘one’ after one date. You do NOT have to cry every time he talks to another girl. It’s a fucking TV dating show, you should get used to watching him make out with every girl on that show. It’s what happens every single season so you...

To go to Vegas or to go not to Vegas? That is the question.
Recently, I’ve been looking for cheap Vegas deals for Harrison’s birthday but since his actual birthday falls somewhere in between my 3 chaotic fundraising events, we’ve decided to go on a mini vacay sometime in Feb. I’ve been twice but he hasn’t and is dying to go so what better way to spend a couple of...
It's not even 4pm yet!
Feeling highly accomplished today:
Got keys for our new place!
Grocery-shopped a bit
Packed a shitload of boxes
Donated alot of my stuff (and giving up stuff is hard for me to do)
Cut Harrison’s hair and did a semi-decent job.
Now only 43289174 boxes left to pack. Sigh. At least ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is on in the background, haven’t seen it since grade 9 or 10...
Working from home
I have soooo much to get done before an important meeting Monday morning at 7am so I decided to stay home and focus. Plus didn’t want to drive in snow and was feeling a teensy bit too lazy to shower & get dressed.
What was I thinking? I’ve watched an episode of Pretty Little Liars, creeped on Facebook, trolled random websites/blogs and looked up movie times. I’m useless. I...
Obsession #74729
I’ve been told by at least 5 people in the last month that I have an obsessive personality. I’m going to go with a HELL YEAH. I definitely get obsessed with things easily and go through phases where I just can’t get enough of something. Eg. Owl stuff, nail polish, deal websites, etc., (The list goes on..)
My new addiction: Trying every kind of Keurig k-cups.
I have been to ECS...
DIY Mason Jar Herb Garden →

I was JUST talking to a co-worker about growing my own herb garden, especially since you can only buy a giant bunch of herbs at the grocery store. Let’s get real - who the hell needs a giant bunch of dill? What are you going to make with it? Dill soup? Yuck. You really only need a handful at most but it usually goes bad quicker than...

I am not pleased with Waffle
Today he woke me up AGAIN from my wonderful dream of vacation-ing with none other than RYAN GOSLING. Like seriously, we were on a cruise boat together and I’m pretty sure he loved me and wanted to profess his undying love for me.
Dammit. $%&@
Not going to lie, kind of ruined my morning. Along with forgetting my laptop in Toronto and having to drive 1.5 hours there and pack to pick it...
Weekend highlights
I had quite a productive but also equally lazy weekend and it has been amazing.
Went to Terroni’s in Toronto for the most delicious pizza dinner of my life with some close friends. It was a super long one-hour wait but TOTALLY worth the delicious thin crust pizzas. Very authentic Italian pizza and could very well compete with the ones I had in Florence.
(I realize that it looks all...
how I woke up this morning
Lately, Waffle has had this habit of playing with his toys on top of us while we sleep. It sounds cute but is actually quite annoying, especially at ALL hours of the night. It’s even more awful on work days!
Today, he decided to jump on Harrison’s balls at 7am in the morning which resulted in an elbow in my face, which needless to say scared the shit out of me and jolted me out of a...
Back to work
First day back to work after a 9 day holiday. Those were the fastest and most glutinous 9 days ever!
Today, I took off 4 hours and ‘worked’ 4 hours. By ‘worked’, I mean chatted with co-workers and got caught up on their 9 days of holidays.
Tomorrow will be the REAL first day of work. And then the planning and hard work begins… sorta.
