Texts From Dog

As I have just finished another exam and my final one isn't until Thursday, I decided to reward myself and do nothing all afternoon! It was a good way to spend the day, I watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother, wrote a poem and then found THIS!! 


What is THIS you ask? Well, I will tell you! THIS is only the most hilarious thing I have seen in a very long time! THIS is now my reason for living! (Sorry friends and family! You have been replaced by this blog) THIS is Text From Dog! {INSERT EPIC MUSIC} Ok, I just did a YouTube search for Epic Music, and guess what?! It is really is epic! So play this song and then go back and reread this paragraph, it flows nicely with the music. 

Back to Text From Dog. It is blog that features this guy has received from his dog. I was actually laughing so hard I was crying, just ask Paige! I was cackling in my room so much she was actually starting to laugh as well. This is my favourite one so far.

I am now going to attempt to clean my room as it is getting hard to walk from one side of the room to the other without tripping over something. 

And that's the way it is - Walter Cronkite 

(I am looking for a catchphrase, any suggestions? Since the one above has already been taken, I need something unique and witty, like me. Tell me your suggestions in the comments!) 

Photo Challenge Catch Up

I was so happy because I took all of the pictures I needed to take over the weekend and I was going to catch up and feel great. Reality: I left my camera charger in B-ford and my camera was out of batteries. It was quite depressing but now I am going to post the pictures from the weekend and everything will be great. 


#3. My neighbourhood 

Living where I do is something that I know I take for granted. Growing up living on a small hobby farm is an experience that has positively shaped who I am today. There were so many options to chose from when deciding what to photograph that best represents my neighbourhood, from the farms all along the road, to the creek, to the beautiful forests but I ended up choosing the nature trail. My neighbours generously donated a large portion of their land to be made into a nature trail for everyone to enjoy. This picture not only represents the beautiful nature in my neighbourhood but is also a representation of the wonderful people I am lucky enough to live near. 


#4 Bedside

Compared to the other bedside pictures I have seen for this challenge, this is nothing special. But here we go anyways: 
- a lamp
- unscented hand cream that doesn't make my hands break out with eczema
- medicated cream for when my hands do break out with exzema
- Tylenol because I have had a bad headache these past few days
- Kobo covers, depending on my outfit of the day I change the cover [not actually!! I just have two awesome colours that make it hard to pick one]
- Kobo light
- A light thing with a scented shade which should probably have been changed a long time ago
- a bell, Paige has the same one and we have bell ringing competitions every week or so [not really, but doesn't that sound epic?!]
- Valentine's M&Ms that I should probably eat
- random paper clip and sticker for character


#5 A Smile

I had so many ideas for this picture but since March 5th was my darling baby sister's birthday, I figured this would be so appropriate! Happy Birthday Jennifer!!! Your smile is adorable!! 


And now I am caught up! It is a good feeling!

Valentine's Day 2012

Valentine's Day was on a Tuesday this year so the weekend before was when we decided to 'celebrate'. I have put celebrate in quotation marks because I am not really sure on my feelings surrounding Valentine's Day. Half of me believes it is a silly Hallmark holiday that has been blown completely out of proportion. On the other hand, I was really pleased with the flowers and chocolates that I received! Double standards here, I know. It was a fantastic weekend and I even took some pictures!


Saturday
Kirk came down and we went skating with Paige. It was the first time I have been skating this year but it was so much fun. I only almost fell down five times or so, which I am very proud about.

Then we met up with Emily and Kelly to go bowling. As it was cosmic bowling, the pictures did not turn out so here are just a few from the night.

Sunday
Flowers + chocolates = happy Katelyn! 

I also made Valentine's Day treats for my class, which I will blog about later because this is already a long posting. What did you do for Valentine's Day? 

New Books, 2012 edition

Once again the Scholastic Book Fair was the only reason to get up this week! I am been feeling quite sick with the start of a cold, my throat was awful yesterday. So it was wonderful to have the book fair to look forward to. 


This year I was not able to get to the book fair until 11:30 because of class. I was very surprised about how little was actually left! All of the teacher resources were picked over but there was plenty of picture books to buy! 


This morning Paige and I decided to go first thing to see if they restocked their shelves and they had!! I was so pleased! I bought a lot of wonderful teacher resources that I am so excited to use some day. 

{Please forgive me for the messy collection of pictures, it was incredibly hard to arrange them}

As a side note, I am feel much better today! I am not sure if it was the billion glasses of water I drank or the overall pleasantness of buying books. Either way, I am feeling better. Last night I also became extremely productive around 10:30 or so and I am hoping to keep this productiveness rolling today. Next week is a pretty dreadful looking week but then I can 'relax' until March. 

I feel that the concept of relaxing while being a university student is something that I was to focus on later. So my question to you* is about relaxing. What wonderful tips for relaxing and de-stressing have you heard about or swear by?
