creative door hangers.

My room is kind of overwhelming. It's a comfortable size, but I have so much things in it [vanity, bed, desk, cabinet and bookshelf] so space is limited. Since I have so many scarves and purses, the scarves are all [attempting] hanging on a rack beside my closet, and my bags end up going under my bed.

But I was at Winners the other day and found these cute little door hangers, with a big jewel [diamond] on it. They were 2 for $5. So when I got home I figured I would hang up two of my favorite little cross body bags; my Coach medium print bag and Mulberry for Target bag that my cousin so gracious sent me up from Bellingham, WA. 

I hung both on each door in my room. Then to add the 'outfit' type feel I stuck a couple of scarves around the hook as well. I am yet to find two decretive hangers so I can put a blouse or something on it to display an actual outfit so until then I am able to see my lovely bags in a cute way!

Miley's Magic Blanket

So today was much less hectic than yesterday. So I threw on my favorite pair of leggings [probably the reason for a good day, from Lululemon], grey top with decretive stitching on the arms [from H&M which is super soft], floral scarf [again from H&M], and belted it all with a $3 belt I found ages ago!

Also Miley has found her favorite spot in the house, and it's WITH ME! Yay! She is spending her fair share of time on my bed, on top of my heating blanket. Since she's so tiny she gets so cold, so anything remotely warm she flocks to. I heard her scratching at my door this early this morning, as soon as I opened the door she ran to my bed and tried desperately to get up. So like always I lifted her on and she buried herself in my covers until I was ready to go to school.

What a doll.

[Above is her laying on the heating blanket, I tell her it's a magic blanket and she gets so excited]

it was a colddddd day in Alberta!

It's true, it was so cold today. Still is actually. Now although its not nearly as cold as it has been in the past, I still believe that -30°C is blog worthy.

Now other than that I enjoyed getting up early enough to get ready for school, eat a quick breakfast and head off to school just in the nick of time. Two minutes away from my house -ding! On goes the empty light in my car. Not only was I going to be late but the closet gas station was 10+ mins out of my way.

Great. And even though I started my day in panic, I ran to class [and I mean ran, I was dodging people in the halfway left, right and centre] and made it literally seconds before the teacher.

So other than that little miss hap of a morning, I was out of school by 12:30, in some sweats and on the catching up on One Tree Hill Season 7, which I have enjoyed for the past few nights. Props to oth for seriously making 7 seasons [on the 8th] and changing that story line enough to keep all their viewers satisfied. Thoroughly impressed.

PS. Miley likes to wear her parka too on days like these, even though she only lasts a few minutes. She enjoys it while she can!

awkward & awesome.

Alright, some awkward and awesome rants! Idea via le Sydney at http://tandsdaybook.blogspot.com/

Here we go:

Awkward:

-Slipping on water at work, twisting my ankle, while holding a bowl of porridge. After NOT spilling it I gracefully looked around to see if anyone saw me. -Still not sure if I was sneaky enough but no one has laughed at me yet!

-Walking out of the bathroom stall at school and having a girl washing her hands smile at me? Like I mean I just opened the door and BOOM - ☺ GIANT smile.

-Having snow being blown up my pants. And in my shoes. And in my socks. It's just not nice and simply quite awkward.

-A customer’s voice at work. She was yelling and it was possibly the most annoying sound. Also I was filing 1654534 folders outside the office she was in.

Awesome:

-Working for 8 hours, then going home and knowing that I get to go plop on the couch, watch a movie and have pizza for supper. Can't wait [1.5 hours and counting]

-Going to my grandma & grandpa's house for lunch every Saturday that I work. It's great to see them, catch up on the week and eat some yummy grandma food.

-My grandpa giving me a pair of his HUGE socks because mine were soaking from the snow [see point 3].

-The beginning of the last semester here! I guess it's awesome, well the idea of it at least. I'm assuming come the first midterm week I will be thinking otherwise, but until then!

back to the ol' grind

So today was my first day back to school. Boy did I wish I was at home sleeping when I sat through my economics overview class. I think I did doze off actually. Not to mention our classroom is the size of Carrie Bradshaw's closet and we have to squish 26 people in it. It's just silly.

It's the start of the semester and somehow my head is still stuck in last, I just feel like I need this year of school to be over.

Either way, when I got home from school [at 12:30 which pretty much rocks] my brother [home sick with mono] went on YouTube and searched Chihuahua puppies. It was a good end to a tedious first day.

Also I was happy to come and see my little baby, aka my chihuahua puppy [shown above]. I kind of feel like she is the wife and I’m the husband coming home from work - it's just the kind of relationship we have.

She's cute.

PS. I've really got to stop eating all this Jell-O at work. My tongue is a range of blue – purple – extra red. It’s kind of embarrassing. Especially when I forget when talking to customers.

rainbow cupcakes!

So one day I was bored. I also believe I was on vacation from school, obviously why I felt the need to bake! I had saw on a website something along this line and figured I would try it out. And surprisingly enough they turned out very well! They look just as good as they tasted. Successful. And super easy!

[All you do, is before pouring the batter in your trays divide the batter up like I did into however many colors you want. I used plastic bags and used them like icing piping bags; it just seemed to work easier, and less messy. Then you pour/squeeze each color into each spot. Cook like normal.]

and TA-DA. Rainbow cupcakes at their finest!

2o1o vacation memories; NYC

NYC ♥

It was a great trip! Last year during spring break as I sat at home wondering why on earth I wasn't somewhere else! Well I knew why and it was because of money [college & vacations don't tend to get along. Both fight for my funds!]. So as me and a couple of my friends were super disappointed we decided that come June we would go somewhere. It would allow our year of schooling to wrap up and us to work for a month and a half to earns the funds. So that’s exactly what we did! [Which is weird because things that like that never seem to happen in my life, always postponed.]

So there I was with two friends, not my best friends at the time, but that is definitely what made it better, we had a lot to catch up on and it was great to experience the great city with some old friends. Above I stuck a few of my favorite sites. Of course there were SO many and I will be going back. It's a guarantee.

ps. You were wondering hey? Is that really Rufus from Gossip Girl? Brooke's favorite show?! How can it be? Umm.. I don't know, all I can say is FATE.
