COFFEE DATE HAPPENING OVER HURRR.

Gooooooooood morning. Or should I say afternoon.. 

Let's have another coffee date today, shall we? As you know from past coffee dates, basically I talk about nothing important and take pictures about it. 

So how is everyone today? What are you enjoying?

 My Keurig is my favourite thing. Today it made me a Timothy's Cinnamon Pastry coffee. Add some maple syrup and almond milk and WOW. This thing is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

To accompany my coffee, I'm eating popcorn. I went to the movies with Marianna yesterday and we got ourselves some specialty popcorn. What you see here is a mix of Chocolate Caramel & Caramel popcorn. I'm very obviously enjoying my leftovers.

Except I haven't eaten lunch yet. Pictured here: cucumbers, hummus and cranberry bread with peanut butter. Not as exciting as the chocolate caramel popcorn, but I eat this to earn the popcorn. So it is good enough for me!

I've been breaking in a new pair of boots and I think they're out to get me. 2 weeks of wearing them, and all of a sudden my feet start to really hurt. When I walk it hurts - i.e. when the toes bend. So after a few days of comfy shoes and no relief I went to the clinic. Doctor told me that my bone's being stressed, and I need to stay off my feet or it could break.

Awesome. 

So in the nature of "not walking" ... I limped to an appointment I had a couple blocks away from me downtown this morning. I wore my hair like this. I never ever wear buns in public, so it felt pretty cray to do.

And because the wind has decided to attack the city, my ears were sodamncold and my big scarf helped. I wore it like this to keep warm, and it was fab. Thank you scarf, you have served me well over the years. 

Now I'm back home. I just finished making a slow cooker meal and now I'm rocking out to Snow Patrol's If there's a rocket tie me to it (my favourite song of theirs...uuughh god it's sooo goooood). 

In the slow cooker I've got a sort of beef stew, but I definitely didn't follow any recipes so wish me luck. Seriously, I am not a fancy cook. I need it.

What are you up to this fine sunday? Do anything fun over the weekend!?

RETURN OF: THE COFFEE DATE.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Well mostly ladies.

Do you remember our coffee dates? Well, last time we had one was back here when I made all you jealous of my Easter candy stash (I just made myself jealous looking back).

Well, now that the cold weather has returned, I can start drinking coffee again without getting the sweats. For reals.

This means, return of the coffee date!

Actually today I'm drinking tea. It's called Alpine Punch from David's Tea. It's part of their winter collection, but I'm lucky I still had some left-over from last winter. It's a rooibos tea with apples, almond flakes and some coconut. Sounds wacky, but I think it tastes pretty fruity and awesome. I put in a bit of maple syrup as a sweetner and it's good to go!

Yesterday I got my hair chopped off. You'll still see a few outfit photos in the queue where it's longer, but soon, my friends... Yeah okay, maybe 3-4 inches isn't a big deal but it's cray for me. It's above my boobs now! Oh god, I just said boobs on my blog... Moving on.

My parents got me some new fuzzy socks for my birthday. I've been wearing them all weekend. They're better than slippers, I swear. It's like walking on clouds when they're new!

Yesterday I went to the mall with a plan and a list. I had a bunch of things to buy for myself that I've put off (oh hello winter, yes I will need snow boots soon, I am aware). But you know what? I only completed about half my list. Half! That's pathetic. And I didn't even find winter boots. Why are they all so gosh darn expensive?! Worst part is, the longer I leave it, the busier Christmas shopping is gonna get, and THEN I'm fighting people.  :\ 

Happy Sunday, hope you're all having a relaxing weekend!

Another coffee date with moi.

Welcome to another instalment of a coffee date with me! Here are some random things going on right now:

My friend and I are doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred just for fun. She started and I decided I'd take a break from my usual workout routine and join her. I'm doing day 5 today; only 25 more to go!

To counter all the wonderful effects of this 30 day shred, I have 500 lbs of Easter candy to get through. I should be thrilled, except that I still have some Christmas candy left..

This is my favvvvvourite Easter candy: panned eggs. I'm the only person I know who can eat these. They're 100% sugar, but in my opinion better than any mini eggs or eggies on the face of the earth. YUM!

Last coffee date, Kat from A Second Glance asked what I do first thing when I come home from work. This answer is two-fold: 1) go to the gym, on my gym days (every 2nd day). If it's not a gym day, I do 2) this. I blog, read blogs, check Facebook, Twitter. Every social media outlet is checked. Not addicted...kay maybe a bit.

Kat also asked what my favourite smells are. Well, lemme just say any of these: campfire, really good cologne, freshly baked cookies, coffee & leaves/fall.

What have you guys been up to recently? 

Got any questions for me? Ask away!

Coffee date #3... Things are getting serious.

Right? Isn't the third date the make-or-break-it sort of thing? If you pass date #3, you mean business? No?
Whatever.
Welcome to coffee date #3.

I will answer some of your questions from our last date, and then I'll ramble as usual.

Emily of Tinfoil Tiaras asked me what my favourite guilty indulgent snack was...

These. These are my favourite guilty indulgent snack. Side note: I know these photos are mirrored and I'm too lazy to correct it. Anyways, at least they're dark chocolate, so I don't feel AS bad. But I have some of these every night. Probably doesn't help that the bag is Costco-sized...

Melody of Happiness & Love asked when I'm coming to the NY area. Well, Melody, it will happen when this happens: When I get ...

Again with the darn mirrored photo... When I have more money I'd LOVE to go back to NY. A few years ago I did a NYC trip and it was awwwwwesome. But it's expensive :(

I've been getting some comments on my iPhone case. I got it from an etsy shop called Scribbles and Stripes. I wanted something a little funky, especially for my (at the time) new iPhone 5. The store sells cases for iPhone 4, 4S and 5 and they rock.

You know it's Sunday when you actually take the time to make a proper breakfast. Weekends are amazing.

This morning I made french toast with Nutella, strawberries and bananas. Is it weird that I didn't make coffee and we're having a coffee date? Should be more like a "breakkie date"...

Either way, I bet I just made you jealous.

Until next time! If you have any other fun questions I'd be happy to answer!
Hope your weekends have been stellar. I get to go paint now. Shoot me. But not actually.

Our second coffee date.

Since our first coffee date went quite well, I figured we could have a repeat today. 

You know, cause I'm drinking coffee and my computer is on my lap.  

And I've got nothing better to do on a Sunday.

Gilmore Girls. This has been my life these last few weeks. 

I got all of the seasons for Christmas and just started season 5 this morning. 

It was my favourite high school show, and I'm loving re-watching it. 

So who invented adult acne?! We were supposed to be done with pimples when we grew out of teenage-hood. No matter what I do, when one goes away, another one decides to attack. 

Attack, I tell ya. 

Frig.

My dog thinks he's a lap dog. He likes to climb on me when I sit on the couch. 

Today, I took a spot on the recliner chair and he can't sit on me. 

He's confused and can't figure out why.

Also, you are very lucky enough to experience my bed head this morning. 

Isn't it sexy? It's pretty awesome. 

Also that face. Isn't that face sexy?

Do you guys have any questions for me for our next coffee date?

That is, if you want to have another coffee date?

Ask away and I shall answer! Maybe.

Coffee date with me!

While enjoying my morning coffee, I figured maybe we could have a coffee date!

I went to the gym earlier and now I'm chowing down on a fried egg sandwich. Because it's protein. And because I don't think I eat enough protein. 

Truth is I don't really like eggs.

Also I got a new shirt. This one's got a bit of a story behind it. 

But all you need to know is that every time I see a kitty I can't help but squeal "kitty!"

If I'm with people I don't know, they think I'm crazy. 

If I'm with my friends, they keep walking. Also thinking I'm crazy.

I've been texting my friends this morning. You know, cause I'm so popular. 

I found this on the table. There were two of them. 

Two 1-kg bars of chocolate. 

For $6.00 each. 

They're not mine, but I might steal one.

Think my parents will notice?

...Now my coffee is cold from talking. 

What's on your agenda today?

Until next time, lovelies!
