Scones!

Its either hit or miss with these chunks of sweet dough.

I've never been so excited to try out a new recipe for scones.

If this ain't a hit then I'm done. 

I'll just buy or have some at high tea from now on. 

Stay tuned... Or not. Whatever.

Eeeeeee !

(Yes, I do need a life.) 

I'm offended that you're offended that they are offended.

It seems that there is an ever growing culture and way of thought that people are either becoming too liberal for the sake of not wanting to offend people. So much so that it's getting pretty re-donk-u-lus!!!

Ridiculous.

It's getting out of hand people. 

Stop it.

Just say it like it is. 

Everyone should grow some balls. 

Gez. 

Screw you, weather man. Screw you!

Really? 

Less than 12 hrs ago you said 0% possibility of precipitation, 0% POP.

Zero

Nada

Dry as a bone 

Now, just before I was to enjoy my bike ride back home, the ground is soaking wet and it is still raining.

What job in the world do we always - always excuse for being wrong.

Dead wrong.

And no.... It's 'ok' for them.

It affects our lives but no 'it's ok for them to be wrong in their profession '.

And they do it often.

I mean, if a surgeon was wrong and amputated the wrong leg or heck even amputed when not required.... He would have hell to pay!

But no weather man, it's ok for you to be wrong, just wake up, lick your finger, out it in the air, and guess... In fact, we have to be surprised when they get it right. 

All this to say that I'm annoyed.

I don't bike in the rain.

I love biking.

Visibility for cars is harder in the rain when the sun goes down.

I don't want to muck up my bike.

I don't want that wet 'skunk' line of rain and dirt up my back and butt.

So now I have to leave my baby (my bike) over night, outside by my work, cold and alone wondering why I abandoned him :(

I hope he still will be there tomorrow.

One Direction - Night Changes

Yes, I know I know.... a teeny-bopper song.
I'll admit, I Love it.
Just paid attention to the vid today. How so sweet. Normally I cant stand the sap stuff. But....that look you get when you go on a date with a guy that knows how to treat you right and is adoring.... awww... just being sappy on this Tues morning.

Add this to the list of "makes me happy!"

That time is season again ....

Panettone season !!!!

This thing is bigger than my head. Feel like biting into this thing like I'm biting into a large apple. No sectioning it off or cutting a piece. Just one whole nom nom fest! 

The Brave One

Watched this on Netflix last night.

Jodi Foster is always bad ass. Amazing actress. I'd like to be bad ass like her.

It's not really a poetic movie but here are some quotes I like:

Her neighbor : "there are many different ways to die, the hard part is how to go on living."

Erica: "There is no going back, to that other person, that other place. This thing, this stranger, she is." 

Sooo.... On that note, can't wait to go home on this chilly windy cloudy day and put on some Sarah macglauhlin (her songs were all over this movie), clean my place and get ready for the little ones visiting this weekend! 

Good morning !

Yet another day of SUNSHINE on a November day!

Luuurve eeet!!

Was thinking yesterday, if only I could bottle up this sunshine ( especially the morning and evening sunshine, that yellow and orange glow) to keep and open up on the many grey, cold, overcast days of winter...that would be perfect. I could boldly face winter, instead of being subject to its temperamental ways. 

When..

When Your Ottawa hotel room is much bigger than your entire condo suite.

Ok ok I said it that way. 

I've always been so annoyed by those "when..." Statements that go no where or have No explanation at the end. Those hanging statements that say enough already. They could've sufficed as a statement without the dramatic "when... " in front of it.
Apparently, It's the thing now. 

Just tried it out. 

Anyhow, my Ottawa hotel room is much larger than my condo. Sit in kitchen table AND dining room with dining table?? Too much space! Feel so free ! 

... That's what I meant to say.

Quotes everywhere

So I'm also instagramming a lot lately.

I'm seeing all these quotes that say a similar thing ....

"Going through tough times, to get to a better place.... Yada yada yada"

I get it.

I do believe things happen for a reason.

I do believe people are in our lives or out of our lives for a reason.

I get it.

But seriously, wtf am I supposed to learn while I'm in it already.

Fine I'll just wait and wait for that answer and months or years from now I'll go "ahhh that's why I went through that shit hole... Wow now I All better in this better place"

Well, hunkydory. That's great ... For some  unknown time in the future!

What about now??? How long will this take?? How much more do I need to go through ?? 

Gaaaaah! So freakin impatient ! 

Why must lessons be so effin hard? 

It's better in a wine glass

Back to work a few days already and I'm lucky that it's not too bad .... Though -ugh... Find myself chugging through the day...

Today is a good evening to drink ginger ale out of wine glasses and cook some frozen pizza. 

Man I'm posting a lot latey.... Whatever gets me through this....

Ladybugs and sunny warm fall day!

Its so beautiful out, it's so hard to stay in.

“How are you ever going to be happy if you keep wallowing?  Listen, when I was a little girl, I used to spend hours looking for ladybugs. Finally, I’d just give up and fall asleep in the grass.  when I woke up, they were crawling all over me.”  - Under the Tuscan Sun.

Elvis lunch

Serves me right for not preping lunch the night before.

Today I have an Elvis lunch:

Banana, peanut butter and toast (Melba).

Let's see how well I survive the day....

Peak freans... That good.

Was fishing through my over stuffed handbag today for my lip balm.

... Broken half piece of cranberry citrus peak frean cookie just floating around in that mess.

Yes, I still ate it. Dirt and all.

It's that good.

Don't judge me.
