not quite sure how a bank fits into this video/message, but oh well - i still like it.

cute squirmy peanut

today i held the cutest little one month old boy.
he was sleeping, but then he became super squirmy.
turns out he was making a poo, right in my arms,
and when he was finished, he smiled.
and then he went back to sleep.

...and i gave him back to his dad, haha.

what a cute little boy. :)

snow day

today my school was closed, my off-campus meeting was cancelled, and i got to stay inside and not go to hamilton.

all in all, a good day. :)

new year, new beginnings.
happy new year everyone! :)

cooking corner: acorn squash soup

there is no better way to warm up your taste buds on a cold, wet, autumn evening.
p.s. butternut squash soup also does the trick (and is just as easy to make). :)

term four academic, done.

i can finally exhale the breath i had been holding in the last two weeks of this term. honestly, this term has been nothing short of tough with having to deal with a whole bunch of stuff both related and unrelated to school. needless to say, it's been difficult. i'm so glad the academic portion of this term is over - now i just need to wait and see how i actually did. and get through my placement.

good grief. i never thought OT school would be this hard.

term four, no one likes you.

we were told, by the second years last year, that term 4 was the toughest term in the program with regards to the workload. well, turns out they were right.

i think this picture accurately depicts how everyone in my class is feeling right now:


good thing we only have to do term four once.

happiness is...

walking down the street on your way home when all of a sudden you have an urge to look up to your condo to see if you can find your unit and you see this: your husband on the balcony waving down at you like a maniac with a huge smile on his face.

that totally made my day...and made me quicken my step so i could get home and hug him just a little bit sooner. :)

p.s. can't believe we've been married for a month already!

back to reality

school starts again tomorrow. ughh.
goodbye summer, you were fun while it lasted.
(p.s. august 2010, thanks for being the month ever.) :)

book nook: the lovely bones

the lovely bones
alice sebold

this was the second of the two books i read on our honeymoon. the first book i finished was masquerade, the second book in the blue bloods series, and it was...a typical young adult fiction book about vampires, haha.

anyway, this book had been on my list of books to read for quite some time so i made sure to pack it to read while lounging on the beach during our vacation. (side note: reading beachside is one of the most relaxing things to do.)

the lovely bones is told from the point of view of the main character, suzie (a girl who was murdered early on in the book). basically the novel follows suzie around 'her heaven' and as she follows her family on earth as they try to move on and live their lives after her death.

while the idea behind this book was unique (or at least i've never read a book quite like this one before), i thought the plot was a little strange at times. while some parts were pretty good, others were just plain weird. all in all, i'm glad i finished it so i could cross this book off my list, but other than that i found it pretty ehhh - it wasn't one of the worst books i've ever read, but definitely not one of my favourites either. i guess i didn't really get the hype surrounding this book, but that's just me - a lot of other people liked it so don't take my word for it. :)
