Aloe

My aloe plant. It's been dropped about 5 zillion times...shhh.

The day went by so fast. I'm going home now. Yayy.
I bought something so nice today on etsy. I can't wait to share tomorrow.
Oh and you know my 101 list. I decided to limit it to 50 things. A 101 was a little too ambitious.
Have yourselves a great night, see you in the morning.
Love,

I was just looking through old pictures stored on my computer, for something to share. I'm slacking on picture taking so i didn't have nothing too exciting. I'll get back on it tomorrow for sure. The picture i'm posting is an old (well...about nine months old) of my piercing.
I took it out because i used to go to nursing school (before i dropped out) and they weren't tolerated. I kind of miss it, it was pretty and clean compared to all the other ones in the past. I once got my eyebrow, then my nose (soooooo painfull) and then my other eyebrow. No, i didn't have both eyebrows at the same time, that would of been...odd.
I am left with nothing but little scars now.

Do you have any hole in your body ?

Last night me and my boyfriend had tons of Mexican food for Cinco de Mayo. It was yummy. Bad news is...my computer is still not installed. So that explains why i'm sharing Martha Stewart's pictures (Lovely, nonetheless).
I stole (maah...borrowed) my mum's copy of Martha Stewart Living while zooming by her place after work. It's crazy how this magazine inspires me. The pictures are beautiful. The flowers. The gardens. The food. By the way i found the food pictures remind me a lot of Simply Breakfast's blog. (See my links.) Hm.
Anyhow. Then i fell a sleep, without knowing Nightmares were awaiting. I hate nightmares.
Guys, i woke up a like 4h00 in the morning because i heard noise coming from the patio. I went to take a peak. It was raccoons ! It was smaller than the one i saw when i had just moved in.
They are so clever those bugs !

Another Day Another Dollar.

I will be getting my computer tonight. I'm just hoping it will work. I will finally be able to post frequently and share more pictures i've been taking.

My weekend was a little crazy, to say the least. A couple of things happened. It started off quietly on Friday. I stayed home and cleaned up the appartement while waiting for Max to come home from work. Then on saturday i felt weak and sick so i stayed in my pyjama's all day, which was kind of nice. I went for supper at my mums house, but left early 'cause i was wooozy.
Then sunday is where things twisted. We were having a great morning. We watched a documentary about birds, and they showed the most amazing one. They are called birds of paradise. I was really seduced by this awesome creature. To impress the ladies, this little bird turns into some weird thing (see picture) and dances and sings. It's so funny to look at. It was the first time i have heard of them. Anyways...
Then we were going grocerie shopping. We stopped at the bank, and right when we were getting back on the road...a van slammed into my boyfriend little red car. I got so scared i couldn't talk for a minute. Luckily the van just hit the front of the car, because if he would of hit the door, i probably wouldn't be writting this today. It was really freaky. Another car was involved too, because the pieces of my boyfriends car went flying about 10 feet infront and hit another car.
I guess the important part was that no one got hurt. Thankfully.
We waited about an hour for the police to come and fill out a report. Then we went home, and took my car to the groceries.


(Now you see the black thing. A few seconds before, he looked like a perfectly normal bird) Insane eh !

OH ! and i forgot to mention that we explored the woods in front of the appartement. And we saw two things running. My boyfriend says it was wolves (....he's delusionnal) I think it was bambi's or something with long legs and short white tails. I was mad at myself for not wearing my glasses that morning !! ahaha. We also found this "cave" surrounded by rock walls and rock seats, were people go for firecamps i guess. It was neat. I didn't have my camera, but we are definatly going back.

By the way...how was your weekend guys ?

Superstar.

I received my purple aviator sunglasses last night. Aren't they greaat ? I'm a little disapointed because i ordered the fuschia one...instead i got those lilac coloured ones. Oh well. If you want some got here. They are pretty cheap.
I'm really starting to panic without any internet connection at home. I will try and fix it by the weekend. It's thursday already. I have no plans for tonight or even tomorrow night. I'm sure that will change. Since i'm at work i can't write much more than this...unfortunatly.

Have a good day.

Can you sea me ?

My internet connection isn't working at home, so i came all the way to my mum's for a quick hello. I made myself a little snack; dried cranberries, cranberri&hazelnut crackers and someother dried fuit. I wish my job was creating new things and thinking about them all day. Or anything fun and creative. Instead of order entry...blaah. I can't wait for the vacations to start.
I've been obsessing about sea's lately. Oceans, seas, rivers, ponds. Water, i guess. Maybe i will treat myself to one (hopefully the ocean, not the pond) during my time off. I've added some things to my 101 list, (i will share it with you guys tomorrow) so there are many great things ahead. yay !

Just Dance.

Today i spent time with my little sister. I took her to the mall. She looked for a good top to wear with her leggings, but our mall is crummy, so we she didn't find anything she liked. At least there was a photobooth. Then i brought her back to mum's house. I went back to her house with Max because my mum was making dinner for the family. My sister and i had fun with the camera.
Now me and my love are going for ice cream. Yummy.

One Hundred and One.

So. I've starting making my 101 things i wanted to do during summer time. Now, although this might be impossible, because i still have to work during the day, i am trying my 110% to do everything on this list. I will share it with you, as i don't know what else to blog about today. I didn't have my camera today, so i can't share any new pictures, which makes it even harder for me, as i haaaate posting without pictures. Okay so here's my list...i only have 51 things on it up to date.

1-Go to this place near where i live called Pointe-du buisson. It's this little hidden place not a lot of people know about. It's a little island of flat rocks you can tan on, while being surrended by water. To get to the rocks, you have to walk through this specific sandy path in the water, or else you'll slip on the rocks and fall in the water (cooold) Some people go swimming but it's a little too cold for me. I'll post pics, you'll see it's maaagical !

Max get's here in an hour. I'm a little sad we don't have the same schedules. I miss our suppers.
I'm hungry now. Hey what are your plans for this summer ?

Sugar Honey

I'm so tired today, so i excuse my unsipired post. I woke up early this morning because i had a couple of things to do before getting to work & the bridgeas under construction, so that calls for extra traffic. Unfortunatly...
My orchids are still up and healthy. I love flowers and plants, i try to have as much as possible. Sadly, sometimes they die on me. I don't have the greenest thumb. The picture below is a few ingredients i bought from the Market. The yellow stars are called carambole in french. A few smoked almonds, the tea i bought monday (mint & lychee), Pure vanilla and this special jam, made locally (in Quebec) Made of rasberries and Honey. It's delicious, but it's a little too sweet to have in the morning.
Good night world. <3

Wish

I looooove Felt. I've been seeing so many beautiful things created in felt and i've been wanting to try working with it but i never have. I found these gorgeous little felted goods on Etsy today. See here for Lustania's shop. I will be buying one of these little purses. I need a small makeup bag. aaaah, shopping.

There's day like that i find. You go shopping and you want to buy everything. Whatever you try on looks good, you always find what your looking for. Then theres the days, were nothing fits, or makes you look awkward.

Je sais que tu es la

This is the mint tea i bought at atwater market. I wasn't as good as it smelt, but i liked it. We also bought lychee tea. I had no idea that existed, did you ? I'm will try it tonight.

And...
My little baby tulips.
Still young and fresh.
They remind me of a summer when i was young, me and my cousin went tulip hunting. We snatched peoples tulips and we made the biggest tulip bouquet, with different colors and sizes. We gave them to my mum as gift.
Good times.

I'm having trouble uploading pictures today. I had other stuff to share.
Oh well, tomorrow's post will be bigger.
Have yourselves a good evening. <3

Batailleur.

I found this cat miaowing at my back door. He's so friendly, exept when you pet his belly. I went to the market today with Max and bought yummy food. I still have the worst neck ache in the world. I went to the clinic to get it checked, but they told me i had to wait 5hours to get seen by the doctor. So i left.
The second picture was taken randomly in bed this morning, when i couldn't move. It's my big comfy blanket.
I just finish eating the best Tiramisu i've ever eaten. I found it this little italian charcuterie around the corner of where my mum lives. Sooo yummy !
Ciao-

prints by irenesuchocki

I will be ordering a very big print from her soon. Probably one of the two, for my living room.

Ok ok it's my last post of the day. I had to post these pictures that remind me of summer.
I added a bunch of new links to blogs i've discovered. Check 'em out !

A moi de moi...

I bought these for myself as a gift to welcome spring. I didn't do much this weekend besides catching up on some sleep. There was this huge sale infront of where i work selling everything for beds, and there was curtains, towels...etc. I bought tons of stuff. New sheets, new pillows, new big heavy white blanket, new fluffy towels, a little carpet for the door...just about everything. Then on saturday i had to work, putting a side my cold. In the afternoon i cleaned, and scrubed, and dusted my home. And today, Sunday, i woke up with the worst neck ache....in french called a torticoli. Just when things started getting better with my cold. My grandma called me to go pick up my new cat she's been trying to catch for the past week. She's adorable. When she got here she freeeeaked out. She was throwing herself at the windows, knocking over my Aloes plants. Now she's sleeping beside the sofa. I don't know if i'll keep her yet. She's got nails; i've got leather. Anyways, i'll call her torticoli, because she's not helping it...

Everyday feels like Friday

i thought i'd share my snack with you today. A handfull of cerises de terre. I don't know what they're called in English. I've been sleeping a lot in the last few days, hoping to wake up without my cold. It's day three now.
The weather is getting really really waaarm :) I remember everybody saying that we'll still have snow in June, but it has really melted fast. Only the huge snowbanks are still there, looking like huge mud/slush piles.
I have a shopping urge. I started buying my spring/summer clothes. Slowly but shurely. I would like to start a little collection of cute vintage tops....The pursuit is on.
