This is my photo of the day...

I get really excited for Christmas...like, realllly into it...but before I become quite infatuated with that holiday I get slightly fanatical about Hallowe'en. I am a Fall girl after all. I think it's the combination of it all. Autumn, the colours, the scents, the food, the whole she-bang...so before I start going Fall-kerrrrazy...which I am going to start doing even though it's mid-August I am going to take a moment and share a Winter-esque photo of the day. 

Now you may be wondering *WHY* in "SEVEN HELLS" {hahah, like what I did there Game of Thrones nerds?} am I doing this in the ass-end of Summer? 

Well...because last year nothing felt like anything...Hallowe'en didn't feel like Hallowe'en...Christmas came and went...it was really disappointing for me. I couldn't get into the spirit of anything and it really made me...forlorn. Especially Christmas...even though I decorated a bit earlier then usual I just didn't get drawn into the spirit of the season and this year I really want to do that. I want to bake, I want to share in the enthusiasm, I want to go to the parades, I want to dress up for Hallowe'en, I want to go to Fall fairs...I just want to participate in all of it as much as I can... 

I am not going to go ballistic in day to day life right *now*...like, whip out the Fall decorations just yet, but I will begin sharing some Autumnal recipes and pepper the blog with some Halloween'y things and Sugar-jar is in for some seasonal craziness for sure. ;) 

And Christmas won't start November 1st...but maybe the 10th... ;) 

Now, I am not by any means a "Winter" girl...meaning my body doesn't do well in cold temperatures. I am not sure what my parents were thinking when I was in my Mom's belly, they should have picked up on my telekinetic powers telling them to either stay put in Italy or move to the Caribbean, but anyways...

I think I might need to invest in a temperature controlled bubble this year ~ but I must admit that a wintery wonderland does tug at my heart strings every Winter season and I really do hope that Mother Nature doesn't do what she did last year, which was +11C all throughout December...

I want some snow on Christmas Eve/Day.

Nothing beats waking up to a blanket of snow and just how quiet and peaceful the world can be on a crisp Winter's morning that lie's dormant. 

This is only the beginning...

Just another day...and it'll be Friday soon.

So today is the last day of exams for students and it is going to get quiet here next week. Real quiet. When I worked at the old print shop the last week before holiday's were brutal. Meaning just dead quiet, because a lot of people take an extra week off before the holidays to do their shopping, get ready for their families, etc. 

Which won't be too bad at the same time because I will be able to bring Lou'e in and it'll be quiet for him. 

Anyways...today I pick up Travis' Christmas gift and I hope that he really likes it. 

I also have to begin all my other Christmas shopping! This weekend is going to be a busy one and I wish it wasn't. I wish it were quiet and lazy! But that ain't gonna happen. Lol. 

Maybe next weekend? Highly unlikely. 

I am just ready for 5pm already! I have a bit of cleaning to do and then some studying as well...I want to finish my first subject and move on to the next. Lots of work!

Anyways. I am going to quit rambling...because I was on a role, stopped for a minute, got pissed off at something...and now I have totally lost my train of thought. 

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday!!!

I think this next issue is out. I MUST get it. Kate Bosworth looks GORGEOUS on the cover. Ugh.

My little baby.

This is on the car ride home. Me and my little Lou'. Every time I see him my heart picks up the pace a little. He is my angel! :)

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Okay, so...I have had the most weirdest headaches the past 2 days, so very random...hope they go away...poor Travi is also sick! He woke up {outta nowhere!} with a full blown cold!! Poor guy. He works hard and he needs a rest. I hope that he has a wonderful weekend this weekend because the last few haven't been great and we have been so busy. 

Tomorrow it's supposed to rain in Toronto so maybe it'll be a lazy one filled with studying, movie watching, vegging out and blogging. :)

Anyways!
Here is a photo of the day and I am thinking of doing a "30 day challenge" of sorts...which is usually done on Tumblr but decided to do it on my blog. Which by the way, I have a Tumblr account so if you haven't already check it out than go to Sugar-Jar. Lots of gorgeous and inspirational photos. :)

I am obsessed with food. Food is on my mind 24/7 ~ so I think it is a good idea to look into a career or go to school that has everything and anything to do with food. That is why I'm taking Holistic Nutrition through the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. So far, so good. I am enjoying it immensely  even though there are a few things here and there that I'm stumped on, I can power on through as someone told me today. ;) 

So what better photo to choose for photo of the day then one that is fashion & food related. 

Here we have Raquel Zimmerman ~ I just found this pic on a random USB...but I am pretty sure this is from an issue of Vogue. 

It reminds me of Food Network's Chopped.
