Almost at the end of my Friday Night

All in all I feel great about my Friday night spent reading. It's been a long while since I've been able to set up a night like this for myself. My parents don't get that when I read I don't want to be disturbed and constant interruptions (not of my own accord) are just bothersome.

So I made a pot of Orange Pekoe/Green Tea poured myself a mug. Light my opium incense cone and WOW the smoke! I had it beside me originally but I'm not a smoker in any capacity and the incense was too much. So it ended up being moved to a TV tray further away and under the ceiling in order to get the best smell around me without inhaling directly smoke clouds! Huzzah! First win of the evening!

I thought that it may have been a tough read for me, I love my Fantasy novels, I love my Victorian Novels, I am loving my Canadian novels...this was going to be something new but I had gotten a taste of Hunter S. Thompson's writing style in October and something intrigued me. I am not as confused as I thought I'd be in this novel about drug use and trips. And for a girl that is trip-free since she's drug free. I think that's a WIN too!

However, I'm no fool to imagination and all the fun that comes with it. So I'm really rather enjoying Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and am excited to see where it takes me.

The tea turned into some Skinny Tea from DAVIDsTea and then some Raspberry Green Tea. All excellent and enjoyable choices.

I also encountered a random text message from someone I was not expecting-someone I met over a month ago and just figured that was that. But, once again animal instincts prove true and another WIN for the night. I will leave that as it is. Nice and vague.

Now since the break-in last summer I've been jittery so the tv has been on in the background. Criminal Minds that I've already seen just for noise. Shrimp has also been an interesting character this evening and such a bundle of love.

I'm ending my night by uploading and emailing my friend her photos from her trip (for which she had to borrow my camera hers lost in the mess of moving).

And to end:

Hallucinations are bad enough. But after a while you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip—the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality itself is too twisted.

My Friday Night

About to start my Friday night and am very excited. This is what it consists of: tea, opium incense, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Will update later in the eve.

Those moments that make you smile...

As I discovered fairly quickly, living at home means that I have to report to someone again and means that I gain weight. Tasty treats are right on hand...and if they aren't usually Dad is willing to go get them if you make a passing comment. SIGH. Yes, I live a hard life.


But in all seriousness, I have put on a few pounds that really need to come off. I've been working on it and constantly exercised since being home but sometimes when stress abounds so do the pounds! I've finally gotten to lower my stress enough my hormones are chilling out and I'm getting back to feeling "decent" which is excellent!

I think part of this progress is that I can get a few sets of stairs in each week now that it is warming up. The cold air actually hurts my chest and so not enjoyable. I like enjoyable workouts, it means I'll keep doing them.

This all leads to me doing the stairs Saturday afternoon and running into an older man (okay, he was probably "old") with a a cane on them, slowly walking up. I figured he had just done some stuff downtown or was heading to something up on the mountain. But no! He was walking the stairs for fun! He had his cane and the stairs are metal with holes in them so not the most forgiving but he just kept on trucking. It really made me smile.

Food for thought...

The Adventure Continues

So another epic adventure in Hamilton today. On my last one where I got my wicked $5 hats, I had noticed that we missed a new vintage store on Ottawa street...or rather I hadn't noticed it before. The Button Pushers!

Today, I got to go into this store and I walked out with some pretty great finds!



Fabulous Summer dress, $16



$20 Jackie O! I am in love.

Romper Time!

This morning I decided to just check out Forever21 on a whim. See what they were doing lately. Maybe head out there and get some dresses but I was happily surprised to discover an entire page of ROMPERS. ROMPERS ARE BACK!!!!!

People don't love rompers. I'm not people and I love Rompers!

Now, that is not to say they can't be done terribly. I've seen it. I've lived it. Ooh sigh.

However! Rompers are sexy, sassy, cute and fun when done correctly. Pick a style that is a right FIT for your body. Try them on before you buy them! Make sure they aren't too short. Too low. Too tight. Too BIG! (You don't want to look like you are wearing a sack!).

Rompers can be worn very casually or you can go out to the clubs in them! So many varieties!! They are light and just as easy as dresses but sometimes you just want legs!

Take a look at some of the styles Forever21 has to offer right now...

Red Stripes.




Very Casual. Potential Beach Cover up?



Let's go party!




Happy Romping!

April Fool's!

I had a great adventure downtown yesterday to get my haircut. Wonderful cut! Just what I needed for Spring. Light and airy.

I then ventured to Ottawa Street with my mother where I was lucky enough to enter Molly's Back Porch...(I believe this is the name) Antique store.

SCORE! I got two wonderful hats for $10.

Here they are:



Made in Italy!



Very Alice in Wonderland. At least I feel it is.

Very excited to wear these. Hats are another one of my favourite things. That is no April Fool's.
