oh my...

february? really? geez... i didn't realize how long it's been. 

so let's go back to february.
niagara falls, feb. 2013
a & i celebrated our 2 year anniversary in niagara falls. this trip almost didn't happen. we got into a huge fight the day before which spilled over to the day we were supposed to leave. we were pissed at each other and i told him to cancel our trip because i was just not in the mood. i hate making decisions when i'm emotional, they don't work out for me... anyhow he convinced me to go and we ended up having a great time! our hotel was in a tower and we had this amazing view of the falls but the weather sucked as per evidence above. luckily, we managed to get out the next day before the snow storm hit! lessons that i continue to learn: communicate, always. relationships are hard.  

got stuck!

there's a first for everything. with all the snowstorms we got this year, i'm sure this was bound to happen. my friend and i wanted to take advantage of all the powder and so decided to get some snowboarding in. we planned to leave early so that we didn't hit traffic, but things don't always go according to plan...so we ended up leaving later. however once we got on the road, to our surprise, no traffic! because our wipers kept getting ice on them, my friend decided to stop to manually de-ice.  that's when we found out why there was no traffic; we got snowed in by the side of the road by the plows!!!!!!! the traffic was behind them...hahaha.. good times!!

happy heart day
this was from work. yes, i indulged.

as canadians--sorry, read torontonians-- we like to complain about the weather. why? because this happens a lot.

early april
mid april

end of april
early may (24 C | 75 F ) hott!!

yesterday. yes, that is snow. 


i've been trying to do these when i can: 

eat.
drink.

& be merry. 
sprinkled with friends when possible. 

some other new things:
- i got my hair did ;) it's lighter with some lowlights. i haven't gotten streaks since i was in my first year of highschool (gasp!) and i've never had my hair coloured professionally. so it was a first. 
- i go back to school in september. i'm excited :) 

so in all, no huge life altering events. just living day by day. 


oh and remember to keep climbing, keep aiming high!

that is a thumbs up! i promise.


cheers, s

wishing for a white christmas

i live in Canada folks and i like my white snowy Christmas but mother nature seems to be thinking otherwise. mind you i live in the city, which doesn't get that much snow in general but i still love waking up to a beautiful white Christmas morning. these days, the temperatures are a mild 7-8 degrees celsius (about 44 degrees farenheit for my fellow American). let's hope we'll get some snow just in time for next tuesday.

in the meantime, thought i'd share with you my christmas list:
