books on tap

there are a few books i really want to read, but just can't - not right now anyway. so instead of reading them, i've decided to think about reading them so i won't forget which ones they are when the craziness stops and i have a finally have a chance to sit down and read something i actually want to.

a few of the books on my list:
- left neglected (genova)
- the glass castle (walls)
- eat pray love (gilbert)

some of these have been on my radar for a while now, but i just haven't gotten the chance to get to them yet. i'm almost certain there were more, but i can't think of them right now. yah, it's been that long.

dream rangers

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.) :)
