I am in love with this song right now. I think it's amazing. It also makes me want to go to Brazil so I can dance in the middle of street and it would be widely accepted. People wouldn't think that I was crazy...minus the fact that my moves don't come close to matching some of these fine folks

I said hey, i'll be gone today
I love lazy sundays. I also love apples with peanut butter. Although I think that I've mentioned that sometime earlier. One more thing I love is reruns of the OC, which seem to always be on.
I miss a lot of people already and I am not even gone yet. I just have to keep reminding myself that change can be good and that this summer is going to be great.
We had some people over from Second Cup last night, some girls that have worked there or currently work there, and it was fun. We had a little potluck and then hung out for the rest of the evening. They went out, I opted to stay in. I just wasn't really feeling the bar for some reason, or the alcohol. It could be the hangover from Tuesday. Amanda took lots of photos, which is normally the task I am handed. Although i am in none of these which kind of sucks because I don't have a lot of photos with these guys but she did take this one of my eyes. (I don't think that I wanted to be in any of them, I think I was having an off day/being extremely lazy and didnt doll myself up.) I think I look slightly insane, although it made me realize how blue my eyes were and Katie pointed out that my eyes are deep set. Although she said it in some cryptic way that took me forever to figure out what she meant.
This is the other one she took with me in it. Definitely an off day as I cover my head. Also as we discovered we like those chairs inside because they make us feel like we are outside sitting by a fire minus the bugs. And the fire, and the stars, and just generally the fresh air.
My mind is reeling with a million things right now. It's a post that's coming at some point, I am not ready to post it quite yet because it's pretty reflective and I want to make sure the words that I use are right.
Now it's Monday and I didn't finish that post at all yesterday like I planned on doing. I love the nights where you have a ton of dreams. I wish I would be able to remember them. I wish my thoughts would somehow be connected to a writing utensil and would write them down. Because I always wake up and forget ALL of them. Except for bit and pieces. The only bit of a dream that I remember from last night was Katie telling me that her peacock feather headband was drying out. WHAT??? that made no sense because feathers are already dry, unless of course they are seagull feathers in the water...then they are not dry, not at all.
Woah...off topic. Even though I never really had a topic as usual when I write these. I have a ton of studying to do today. And I'm pretty ready for it. I am kind of sad that my behavior modifications class is over. I really really enjoyed this class.
Also, it feels strange to be able to lie in bed for as long as I want. Strange and fantastic because I really like lying in bed. It gives me time to wake up, time to blog, time to catch up on some emails, time to work on sam's blanket, time to think up fun plans (Dariane and I might try and take a road trip to calgary in between our lives and being done school, although I would have to learn to drive standard which would be okay because I should learn for the summer anyway because that's what Ashley's car is. I also want to make it to see Cass Sam and Evan before I go up to the lake so I would try and tie that in there somewhere too.
anyways, back to sleep I go, that or studying...need some coffee before I do anything

Come on courage, teach me to be shy
I woke up this morning and felt pretty damn good. It was so nice to lie in bed and just relax and not think about all the things that I had to do. I rarely take the time to lie in the bed in the morning although I realized it's a smart idea and everyone should try it out every now and then. While I laid in bed I put on an episode of grey's anatomy and worked a bit on sam's blanket. Then I read a bit of breaking dawn, and then I fell asleep for an extra hour. It was glorious. When I woke up after my morning nap, I got up and did a couple hours of yoga. Why don't I regularly start my day off with a little yoga practice. It makes you feel so good. So alive and so ready.
I am officially pretty much unemployed for the next 2 and half months. I am extremely excited about this. A lot of things have changed for me this year. There's been a ton of things that have happened and ways I've grown and been shaped and altered. I don't know if that's the right way to describe it. I haven't taken the time to reflect on these things, to fully appreciate them and to figure out what I feel, what I believe,etc. This may sound like a bunch of bull shit but I think that it's important to sit back and allow yourself to reflect. To allow yourself to grow even more as a person. I fully intend on doing this in the next little while. I need to allow myself to do this, I need my soul revived.
I am incredibly lucky. Today Ashley told me that I was inspiring and it got me. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. When you get a compliment that comes from someone incredibly genuine and it's something that you have never been told or never thought of yourself as, it's a really great feeling. People should tell each other these things more often. Because it means a lot. Thank you Ashley for being an incredible, equally inspiring friend. I love you and am so lucky to have you in my life. That sounds pretty sappy to be coming from me. Every now and then I get sappy. I try and keep it hidden from most people but it's come out on this blog several times. But really it's true. You mean a lot to me and have been a constant support in my life and someone I can go to no matter what time of day, no matter what it is. You are great.

Love, it taught me to lie
You know when you have those days when all your emotions just seem to come crashing into you and you sit back for a minute and just think about everything that's going on around you and you get overwhelmed as hell? That's me today.
I don't do goodbyes well. I get awkward.
And in the next little while, there's going to be a lot of good byes. And it scares me because you become good friends with people and then you don't know if you will ever see them again. People always say that they are going to stay in touch and what not but that doesn't always happen. It just worries me because I feel like I have made some good solid friendships this last year and it's hard to leave. Even though I know that I will probably be coming back I also know that a lot of these people are going to be gone. Just a bunch of sad news that makes me gloomy just thinking about it. Plus there's the fact that it's rainy and cloudy which I do love but sometimes it gets me down. Also makes me think about things more...strange how that works, it's just like all your cares go away when the sun is shining.
Man, I want to travel in the worst way possible. I want to save all my money and run away and never come back. Every now and then I would fly people out to see me because I would get lonely. Think of all the people that you could meet and the new things that you could see. It would be amazing. I know that I'm seriously all talk about all this but I want to do it, I just need to save up some money. And I would love to go with someone but everyone is sorting out their lives.

Life goes easy on me
You know I think I might just keep up with putting things on here from ETSY that I want. Because I love that site, and I love looking through it because they have some really amazing things on it. And also because I run out of things to write about and I feel like I write about the same thing over and over and over again and I annoy myself. Which means I really must annoy some of the people that read this.
However, before I post these lovely and quirky things, I must post this lovely photo of some pretty amazing women. The other day we had a nice little photo shoot along with some great drinking. By great drinking I mean way too much drinking. It was a beautiful day out and the deck was calling our name, along with several shots and half a 26. The bed was calling the day after that and I wasted away until 6. Then I thought about how I am never drinking again. It's funny how these thoughts cross your mind and last for a week and then fly out the window the next time that something comes up.
Now as I take a peek around this etsy site I find lots of really amazing things. I also find a vast amount of strange things. Like this necklace which has a plate and all the ingredients to make smores. I think it would take a really special kind of person to wear this around their neck. I mean I know that everyone loves a good smore, but to wear the ingredients around your neck??? When I was a kid I babysat my cousins at a hotel while their parents were at a wedding and we made smores in the microwave. Another time ashley and I roasted the marshmallows over the element on the stove and made them that way. We did this in the cabin that we are living in this summer. I hope to repeat this many times.
I know that Dariane is going to think I'm a major hippie for wanting these but I love them and I want them badly. I think they're great and they look comfortable. Like wearing slippers all day which I would love to do. In fact I do it when it's either frozen or dry outside because I can, and in Strath's words "I do what I want"
If I had a really smokin' body I would wear this dress. Because I LOVE the color of it, and I think it's gorgeous. I guess I would have to have somewhere to wear it too because this isn't the kind of dress you just wear out for the day while you're doing your daily errands. I suppose it could be, I suppose you could wear anything you want, although you may get funny glances, which would cause you to feel not so hot in whatever outfit you were wearing. Maybe someone should wear those mocassins with this dress. Not that would be a lovely little getup.
Seeing these beautiful headbands makes me wish I wore headbands. Maybe I should start. I did all the time when I was a wee one. But I think that I remember them really hurting the back of my head. And I'm not one to go for the pain and beauty thing. I don't think that they should mingle.
I think that's about it for this post. I could go on forever, and maybe if I get bored this afternoon I will update again. I am at work until 2:30 after all so I have excessive amount of time on my hands. :) I love it when there's plenty of time.
Random tidbits:
My day started off with a large coffee, which is strange because I don't really like coffee but really felt that it was needed. It also started with me doing laundry. And I had the worst sleep of my life. I kept waking up at all hours and being wide awake. But then knowing that it would be abnormal for me to get up at 4 AM because there's nothing to do at that time. Nothing, I suppose I could have studied more, or maybe worked on Sam's blanket. That's what this afternoon is dedicated too though. Sam's blanket and Breaking Dawn. Because I want to finish both. Well I really need to finish breaking dawn preferably before tomorrow because I need to give it back to Tressa before I move. I should also pack a bit this afternoon. Hmm...now I just don't know what today will bring, so many things to do. But I have a good chunk of time I think. We'll see.
