8 hour flight. Straight from Edmonton to London. I. Hate. Flying. I hate that it’s impossible to sleep, I hate that there’s nothing to do for hours on end and you can’t move & it gets incredibily boring. I hate motion sickness, & I hate the way my head always feels like it’s about to explode from the pressure. However, my goal for this flight was to be chill about it all. So no tears,...

So I packed today. (& I’m not flying out for another day & a half? woah!)
I’ll be gone for about 4 months. First to Italy, for 3 months of University in Tuscany, with weekend trips here & there, just to keep things exciting. Then I have 6 weeks to go… wherever the wind takes me around western Europe, I suppose.
But more on that later. This is about the stress of...

“Does anybody know the True Meaning of Christmas?”
(Clickie the title for a video. I promise it’s not Charlie Brown. It’s a couple years old so the numbers may be slightly off now but it’s still one of my favorites. GO!)

No one laughs at God in a hospital, No one laughs at God in a war No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor. No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests… No one’s laughing at God When it’s gotten real late, & their kid’s not back from the party yet. No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably...
"Love Actually, is, all around."
Love Actually is an awesome movie to watch around Christmas. It’s filled with a great cast, & it follows many different stories which conveniently intertwine, somehow, in small ways. Plus most of it is just so damn cute! Also, sometimes you feel all teary & sad but the most of the time you laugh because hey, they’re all British & therefore thier jokes are hilarious,...

If all my recipes were illustrated in adorable ways, I would probably be even more inclined to spend all my time cooking/baking than I already am. OM NOM NOM.

Alright, you have to click the title for the link.
A group of History teachers got together & made music videos for historical events to the tune of popular songs, haha. They’re just really silly, but hey, they are significantly better than anything I could do!
ex. The Tune of Bad Romance: “La-la-liberte, E-e-egalite, Fa-fra-fraternite… French Revolution!”
or, to the...

“Sand is overrated. It’s just tiny, little rocks.”
I don’t want to try to describe this movie, or sum it up because I fear I might ruin something important. It’s complicated to explain. But suffice to say that for some absurd reason, I just love this movie. I regret not owning it because I just really want to watch it right now!

“I said goodnight to the moon, I said goodnight to the mush, A red balloon… & a great green room… & a brush… I look out, on the waves. I’ve been stuck here for days and days. On a ship you made, with your magical ways.. & your love (I was born in a little white blanket I was born in the middle of a mountaintop) Oh que sera sera, Whatever will be will be....
