Want.

I don't own a pair of boots, not even one pair. I feel like I just can't pull them off. But that is silly right? I think I could pull these off...they are simple, and I like that.

Love, Love, Love

I love these love prints! I want to hang them up in my bedroom. They make me think of how much I truly love Joe, my family, and my friends; and how much I feel loved back.

Frustration!

I had a wonderful holiday Monday morning laying in bed and relaxing. But, I had to get up and work on a few things for the Land's End Chamber Ensemble (I am on the Board of Directors doing communications and marketing). Well, what I thought would take maybe 2 hours took me almost 6 and still didn't get finished. I hate that! So many problems kept coming up that I just didn't see coming. Frustration to the max!

10 things I love

I was tagged by Signe to make a list 10 things that I love. So here goes!

1. My bike - I am so sad winter is coming and I will have to say goodbye for a few months. Riding around on my cruiser calms me down and makes me happy.

2. Robin Hood - My favourite Disney movie. I love it. My mom told me that it was the first movie her and my dad saw together in the theatre, and the only one he didn't fall asleep at.

3. Oahu, Hawaii - Joe and I went on our honeymoon and loved it so much we returned 9 months later. There is nothing like it, it is just so beautiful. I can't wait to go back!

4. Water - It is so calming. I want to live near the water one day. I love walking along the shore, swimming, boating, snorkeling, and want to learn to scuba dive next year.

5. U2 - They have been my favourite band since I was 12. I saw them in 2000 and have band reserved tickets (woo hoo!) to see them in Edmonton next June (it was supposed to be this past June but was postponed). Some of my favourite songs are Bad, Where the Streets Have No Name, and Pride (In the Name of Love).

6. Vietnamese food - Just thinking about it makes me want to order some right this second. Soo yummy!

7. Fireworks - So exciting and beautiful.

8. Hockey - "Hello out there, we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight!" What can I say? I'm Canadian! There is nothing like a great game of hockey. Especially when Crosby scored for the gold medal at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver!

9. Flats - Joe calls them slippers and just shakes his head at me, but I love flats. Stylish, comfy, and they go with any outfit.

10. Being an aunt - Nothing makes me as happy as spending the day with my amazing niece Ainsley (who is 4), and nephew Gavin (who is 1). In February, my sister Kelli and her husband Graeme are expecting their 3rd!

So now I am going to pass this onto a few more people to carry on:

Love these!!

How cool are these handmade moccasins? I want a pair so bad, but I can't decide which...

Which pair are your favourite?

Happy Weekend! Finally!

(Spotted on Coastal Living)

Oh my goodness, what a crazy week I have had. The past 2 days I have worked a total of almost 24 hours. It made for long days and short nights. But it is the long weekend so I am happy for that!

What are you plans? Joe and I are going to visit my family and help my sister with her home renovations. I am so excited to see my neice, Ainsley, and my nephew, Gavin! They are the best!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

PS - I want to wake up tomorrow and be in the photo above! My dream is to live right on the water. Then I can have a subscription to Coastal Living!

Autumn

Fall is almost here, can you believe it? I can't, and you know why? We have had the worst summer ever here. I don't even feel like we had a summer - it has been so rainy and cold (it reached 30C (86F) only one day! One! And that was last week!) It's like fall has been here for 4 months already. I am not even that huge of a summer fan. I don't do that well in the heat, I burn super easy, and I just feel so uncomfortable if it is too hot; but I still feel like I got totally jipped this year. At least I had a week in Hawaii. But either way, fall is my favourite season. I love the spicy smells, pumpkins, crunchy leaves, the crisp air, and all the colours. And I really love being able to wear big scarves, sweaters, boots and jackets!
