summer adventures on whyte

yesterday was a truly solid day. i met up with the love of my life , so we could have a date before i leave on vacation ( still vague on the date .... obviously we didnt leave today) first we hit up our new date spot Steeps tea, just off whyte avenue. cute little tea cafe with board games and mismatched furniture. i fell in love with the strawberry rasberry on ice , and faiza had her signature iced chai latte . it was the best time eve, shes the greatest to vent to , and for a moment it felt like i was actually not wasting my life away doing pointless things ! then are good old fob child decides he wants to join us , so we walk back to whyte to meet him. FOUR HOURS LATER he finishes showering and blowdrying his hair ... cough diva cough and we meet at block 1912 another cute cafe with mismatched furniture. after some green onion cakes for me, and a veggie quesadilla for faiza we waste a couple more hours talking, then take a walk up and down whyte and deccide its time to leave. heres where the real adventure begins, as usual toni offers us a ride home, but me and faiza decide to lrt , and give him a break . its all fun and games until you get to century park and theres no buses to get you home. it was one of those moments thats really really funny and really really not at the same time . so i call my lovely father and sweet talk him to pick us up, and all is fine in the world .quality days like these really make me realise that sometimes, even with people you have to cut your losses, because at any given time theres someone who cares about you and wants your time, and they deserve it alot more then people who dont bother to care, even if they've been around longer !!


and then there was today.... sunday ... a day of rest (taken way to lightly by moi ). let me breaqk it down for you :
wake up at noon
clean out the fridge and orgainize food to take camping until two (ONLY SEMI PRODUCTIVE THING I DID ALL DAY)
eat pizza pops
go through a rotation of an episode of criminal minds, 8 mario kart wii races while the next criminal minds loads, criminal minds, wii etc.etc. until 730 (can i also mention i did not get upp for the enitre five hours)
eat dinner
return to rotation
getting sore eyes, taking a break to write this so it wasnt old news.
now falling back into the routine
chowforrr nooow !!

blabber and such....

i have nothing relevant or important to say so im just going to talk about random things. i miss my best friend. it so wierd that i cant talk to her :( you never notice how much you appreciate being able to call someone and talk whenever you want until you cant ! im leaving on my trip in a few days, still feel nervous and excited all at the same time!!!! cant wait until i leave and then ill actually have something interesting to say.... chow for nowwww :)

confessions of a hoarder

I am a hoarder, ive come to terms with it ! i have so much stuff, its 17 years shoved into every single drawer, shelf and crevice in my room! i have been cleaning for 9 hours and im ready to pull my hair out , so i decided it was best to call it a night. im proud of the progress i made but for some reason giving things away is so stressful for me. i have little panic attacks and could sit there for hours thinking about possible scenarios where i would need a certain shirt and why i shouldnt give it away. but i am donzo. for now! round two begins tomorrow, cross your fingers i make it out alive. on a lighter note , the love of my life has finally returned form her adventures in toronto , and i am relieved, as i barely made it through the six days without her. so , with my cup of tea in hand and computer inches away from my face i am hopefully awaiting some bonding time with her , and preparing to waste away the night googling pointless and irrelevant things! oh the joys of summer :)

powerpoint cards and palm bay coolers

i had the busiest, craziest funnest weekend ever. my birthday literally lasted for three days. Saturday i had a couple friends over, and i had a blast. im pretty sure they all did to :) but i guess you just never know !! we had pizza and two bite cupcakes and fruity coolers, played board games in the sun, and played some interesting rounds of would you rather. i dont even know where to begin ! its summer and beautiful and i live for the nights im so happy i cant stop smiling. alot happened this year, but these days i often find myself being able to get over something thats bothering me easier because theres so many things i have to be happy about. i made some really great friends this year, and even though its only been a year, sometimes i cant imagine what my life was like without them ! anywhooo ! back to saturday! i got the most amazing gift from my bestfriends, i love everry single thing in it . each thing had so much thought and love put into it, they were all things ive casually mentioned loving, and its like they stored it in there back pocket and whipped it out on my birthday. and you cant forget the forever reliable powerpoint card made by kate , ahahha everry year ! and i couldnt love it more. in a bit more detail, they got me 50 shades of grey, a book i was at a crossroads with, and had been talking to kate about a few days earlier, i couldnt imagine not reading such a book that was raved about by millions of women, but im still young, and i do not need to be completely sexually disturbed before i even finish highschool. but they gave me the push, and now im obligated to proof read it for everyone else. but im not going to pretend im not excited :) they also got me two bubble bars from lush, the comoforter, which is my all time favorite product, and a new product ive never tried which is beautiful and gold and sparkly, and is apparently like taking a bath in liquid gold. the last part of my gift is honestly hilarious and adorable at the same time. and it comes with a story! a couple weeks ago me and kate went to the big semi annual sale at la senza. we were joking about how boring i am because well she took advantage of the sale and picked out cute floral bras with lace and bows, i went for the buy one get one deal in white and nude. so of course, they had to get me two obscenely lacy floral bras, impossible to wear under any shirt , but completely adorable that you have to wear them. when it comes down to it , it was a simple gift , but the amount of love and though that went into it means more then anything in the world ! im super excited for kates birthday in a few weeks so i can return the favor ;)
cheers :)
