Pizza & punch!

Dan and I just ate pizza and we’re drinking our wine punch we made!
We bought a package of those two pre-made pizza crusts that come with packets of sauce, and our cheesy pizza turned out amazing! I will for sure be buying them for at home! I even spoiled us and bought some pre-grated pizza cheese, yum! What I loved most was the fact that I could put as little sauce as I wanted. I’m not a huge sauce lover, and that’s what ruins frozen pizzas for me, there’s too much sauce! Dan made his side extra saucy and mine just had a light coating, perfect!

Delicious Punch!

• Grab a 1.5 or 2 liter pitcher, or punch bowl
• Buy your favorite type of frozen fruit punch mix
• Pour the frozen juice mix into the pitcher
• Fill the pitcher half way with water
  
• Grab a bottle of your favorite cheap fruit wine. I used Boone's Strawberry Hill
• Pour about 1/4 of the wine into the pitcher
• Add 5 shots (or to taste) of Triple Sec
  
• We also added about 2 shots of moonshine and a shot of spice rum for a little extra ooomph. You can add some vodka or whatever if you want to make it nice and strong
• Mix up your mixture, to get the frozen juice all mixed in
• Top off the rest of your pitcher with 7-up and water
• Enjoy!
  

It's Just Another Manic Monday

I've been trying to be more productive and creative lately. Last week I gave my room a new look, which I'm so glad I finally got around to doing. Recently I also made my winter boots look even better than they did! A few months ago I had ordered some metal studs from Etsy to add some to clothing. I still have quite a few left so I gave my boots a little extra awesome, check them out!

The boots before....

The boots after!

In other news, Value Village is having a 50% sale on clothing and shoes today but it was so busy I couldn’t shop comfortably. However I did grab a cute framed kitten picture for $1.99 to put up in my room!

Dan and I went to the grocery store grabbed a couple of pizza kits, the kind with the already-made crust and packets of sauce, and some grated pizza cheese to make pizza tonight. We also picked up some frozen fruit punch mix to make a punch with later, nothing fancy but fruit punch, Triple Sec and probably what’s left of our stronger alcohol!
 
Why do people dislike Mondays again? Mine seems to be going pretty awesome.

Time For A Change!

Ever since I moved back in with my parents in their new home back in November 2009, I've always thought my room was incredibly boring. It's a very, very small room so there isn't many options on where the future goes and things like that. The past few months I had been collecting little things at a time such as a new comforter, pillows, sheets, wall decals and items to hang on the wall. Yesterday I finally got around to taking down what was already thrown on my wall whenever I first moved in and replacing it with some items that make the best out the small space I'm in.

Doesn't it look so much better? The before picture was taken about a year ago I forgot to snap one before I started taking things down. I kept my two Star Wars posters and my The Office calender, I just moved them to my empty wall by Sirius' food.

 Here's a bit of a closer view to some of the wall stickers, I think they are quite cute!

I finally got my clown plates up! Only $1.99 each at Value Village! I had the "dream" and "believe" signs hanging off of the window but they look much nicer here.

It's not the best photo of this picture, but the little girl is holding a white cat! I plan on spray painting the frame gold!

 

 

I bought this because it reminded me of my Gramma, she loved glowers and gardening. 

 

 

 

Color The Coast With Your Smile, It's The Most Genuiene Thing I've Ever Seen.

I was just outside for a few minutes. We’ve had surprisingly nice weather so far this November. I can be outside without a hat on, and my ears aren’t freezing off of my head. There was just a little wind. The tree across the street, the one by the green wooden fence, all of the remaining leaves are the most beautiful yellow. It was amazing to just sit there and look over at it when a gust of wind came about and just watch the leaves fly off of the branches. It was like watching a bunch of falling stars. Life is truly amazing if you just take the time to see it.

Pre-Interview Jitters

As I'm sitting here at the moment I'm waiting for the clock to turn to 10AM so I can call up a cab to make it to my 10:30 interview at Canadian Tire. I've been sending out a few applications each month looking for a job that can offer me more hours and also get me away from working around food. It was almost hard to believe when my mom called me up yesterday saying that Canadian Tire actually called back! I'm applying for a cashier position, I've never worked in retail but I feel confident that if I was given the position that I'd do a great job!

The job I currently have, cleaning tables at Rufus and Rory's was my first job, and I was lucky to not have to deal with any of that dreaded interview stuff with this job because the diner is owed by my step-father and his best friend. It's been a while since I've been to a job interview, since 2009. The last interviews I had were two separate interviews for the same position at Tim Horton's, and I didn't get the job.

I'll admit, I'm pretty nervous. I was nervous enough just calling them to set up an interview time. I worry a lot though, and every little thing makes me nervous, but I'm trying not to think about it too much. I'll be sure to share how my interview went, wish me luck!

What's Happening, Wednesday.

Today I finally got around to picking up and depositing my pay cheque, which is always a nice feeling. Before hand Dan and I grabbed some food. I had a grilled cheese and breadsticks and Dan had a tuna melt and fries.

Rufus and Rory's makes the best grilled cheese ever!

 I also did a little shopping. There's nothing quite like some retail therapy, am I right?

Isn't this purse the cutest?

Hello Kitty earrings!

New face scrub, I love this stuff!

This cute kit was only $4, I might use it for Valentine's Day.

 I made a visit to Ardene, where I picked up three scarves for $10, you can't beat that price!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

I love Autumn. I mean, don't get me wrong I love summer, but there's just something so magical almost about this time of year. Maybe it's the fact that Halloween is one of my most favorite times of the year.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so this evening I'll have a bunch of family arriving to eat at my place. In total there is going to be a crowd of 12 of us, which is exciting! We don't usually get many visitors in the run of a year, so we try to make the best of it. This year my sister is bringing her girlfriend Colleen and her children to dinner. The more the merrier!

Since today is more than likely going to be the last time we have company before Christmas, I took this opportunity to get a little bit of Halloween decorating done. We live in the country, and get a total of zero trick or treaters at Halloween, but that doesn't stop me from decorating! I snapped a few pictures on my cell phone that I'll share, so you can what I've got done!

I also finally decided on and bought my Halloween costume! I'm being a rag doll, I'm quite exciting about it.

Work is calling my name, I have to leave in ten minutes. I work until 2:30 then I'm coming home to get ready for our company. I'll leave you with a quick list of some things that I'm thankful for, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

1. My cat, Sirius. He came into my life at a time where I really needed him and he will always be the love of my life.
2. My best friend, Daniella. Even though she's half-ways across the country our bond is still as strong as ever. I honestly can't imagine life without her. I'm so thankful to have someone as amazing as her as my cousin and best friend.
3. My mama! She's done a lot for me and my sister growing up, and it never stops. She is one of the most supporting people I know and I couldn't ask for anything more.
4. Running water! I'm so glad I can drink my tap water and it is safe, and delicious and just the fact that I am lucky enough to have tap water.
5. A roof over my head and food in the cupboards. Thanksgiving, Christmas and just normal days there are people all over who are struggling to find a place to sleep at night and don't know when there next meal is going to be. So many people take this for granted, please appreciate what you have!

Disposable Camera - August 2011

Back in August I picked up a disposable camera and took some pictures, and as promised I'm sharing them all here. The second half of the bunch are extremely blurry due to the face that I scratched up the lens for blurriness just for fun. The next camera I get I'm not going to do that since well, I want more good pictures.

Dan's in the vortex! (My vortex shot didn't show up on the film </3)

Here's Dan's cat Loki! Isn't she adorable?

Value Village is my favorite store in the world, it's like my home planet!

Long time no see...

Oops, I've been neglecting this blog. Sorry! I really do need to start updating more. I'm going to find some writing promts online and just use them when I don't feel like I have anything to update about.

Since the last update, I haven't continued with my Couch to 5K training. Which kind of dissapoints me, but I am too lazy. I have however been trying to get out and enjoy the wonderful autumn weather. The day before last I went for a great 6K walk with mama on the Confederation Trails. It was beautiful, I love this time of the year! Tomorrow when I finish work I'm going apple picking at a local apple orchard with my mom and my aunt. I'm really looking forward to it!


I had bought myself a Halloween costume already, but I'm having second thoughts. I was planning on being Vemla from Scooby Doo after so many people told me last year that it would be the perfect costume for me. I guess it's too perfect, because when I wear the clothing I bought (orange sweater - not a turtle neck but a high neck, red mini skirt, orange knee-high socks) just feels like I'm wearing clothes I'd normally wear. Halloween to me is supposed to be about dressing up, and feeling like you're dressed up and in costume. I think I'm going to switch up my costume idea, because I want to feel dressed up, not like I'm just wearing my normal clothes with a wig.

Until next time, take care and thanks for reading!
