20.

Pretty solid playlist for driving. 

Knows what I like. Made just for me from someone special.

Getting closer. 

20.

My new bed is f****** amazing. I literally have to jump up, it's so high. Madi can hardly get up. Went and bought brand new sheets today too. Feeling like bedtime will be an even more enjoyable experience. My cute little virgin bed. 

Up next... New winter coat.

I'm realizing that Canada Goose jackets are completely overrated and overpriced. Excited for Black Friday. Shopping purposes only, of course.

Soulmate.

One of the many perks about having an animal is that they are happy to see you anytime you come home. Even at 5am.

There is no argument or anything!

Just purring and cuddles.

Soulmate. 

Weird evening.

Numero Quatro.

Thought out my next tattoo.
Just a matter of where to put it. I would like to put it somewhere unique like my last one.

Today was a day of new ideas. It's been a good day.
Dreaming is so inspirational.

Good Day.

That time of the year again! 

Buying tickets for the nutcracker . One month away. Very excited. 

Countdown for other fun events:

25.

Sometimes all you need is a little perspective. 

New!

It's always wonderful to fall onto my bed after a long day.

In a week I'll be falling onto my new bed! 

So long overdue. Out with the old, and in with the new. Mattress shopping was fun :)

Bought the hardest mattress in the store, could be taken as a sexual reference, and could be true as well.   

Maybe it will help my back problems.. They are getting worse. Going to stretch and go to sleep. My weekend starts now! 

Evolving.

Sometimes I surprise myself. 

I thought about it today about how consistent my life is, but how I am personally evolving without realizing it. There are many stressors that don't exist anymore, and I'm content living in my reality. Sure, if I want to be a pessimist, I could say that things *could* be better, grant you. But considering I am not a true pessimist, I see that I am maturing and can awknowledge that things *are* pretty great. 

Unfortunately, this isn't coming out as clearly as it did when I realized it. 

I guess I'm just trying to say that I'm maturing enough to appreciate what I have, and that things can be imperfectly perfect if I let them fall into place. Also, that I don't need inconsistencies all the time to get by (depending on the situation) and I'm okay trusting people that I know, feel and believe, love me. 

There's a significant difference between being with someone that's *in love* with you, and being with someone who claims they *love* you. I think once you have been with both, it's hard to be with the latter. In my evolution of life and love, I am realizing that I definitely deserve this and won't be caught accepting anything less.

This is a very rewarding feeling. 

The walls I have put up for so long are slowly breaking down, and I consider myself lucky. 

Maybe this winter will be different than all the rest, and I will be the grinch no-more.

Cheering Up.

Every now and then, I get lonely or sad. But I just use the good ol' internet to find things that make me happy.

Like this cat with eyebrows.

Or this elephant playing soccer (my new computer background).

If this doesn't work, I look through some of my most favourite moments of my life, and start to plan my next trip.

Thinking... short warm holiday in January/February. Then a longer trip in the spring... THEN Europe in the summer.

Reminiscing.

Those days when you want to go back.
That view.
That person.
That moment.


Alas, I now eat like an American.

The Rainbow.

Unfortunately, my mom rarely visits my dreams. It's only once in a while, but it's like we are together again. 

This time, her sight was starting to get really bad but wanted to take me for a drive in Calgary. The weather was rainy and not very nice. 

All of a sudden, we are near our old house in Mount Royal and I yell at her to stop the car. She pulls over and I run around the side to get her. She hits my car door on the sidewalk but I don't care. I hurry her along, she can't walk very fast. I tell her to look up and we are standing at the end of a rainbow.  It is so bright, so magical, and we just stand there together and watch in silence. Other people start to flock towards it too, but we were there first. It starts to fade as I try to take a photo, but can't capture the moment. The rainbow is gone. 

How ironic.

Life is strange and unfair sometimes.

Sherlock.

You know you have an addictive personality when you cancel your plans all weekend to sit at home and watch Sherlock. If you want to get lost in a show that is intelligent and multi-faceted, then this is the show to watch.
Plus, Benedict is beautiful. This guy is worth $245Milion at the age of 37. Must be doing something right.
