☆ Reading Wednesday: Somewhat in the middle of reading a poetry collection, Calling down the sky by Rosanna Deerchild. I say "sort of" because I've kind of put it on hold for now, since I'm having difficulty focusing. It's very strong poetry and I really love her style (it's, hmm, I guess you could say it's both sparse and conversational at the ( Read more... )

☆ Today was relaxing. I didn't do much. It's probably for the best. Walked around a bit to enjoy the weather, did some windowshopping... found a lovely little cafe that I've passed by a lot of times, and I wish I'd gone in sooner, because they have amazing sandwiches and their coffee is wonderful.

( Fudge! )

Someone brought in carrot-and-oat muffins from Tim Hortons the other day and man, were they delicious.

I WANT TO MAKE SOME. ... Well okay, after vacation. But I do want to.

Maybe this one... It has a lot of carrots in it, which sounds good to me. It requires a food processor but I honestly don't see why an electric mixer wouldn't do. :Va But I'll ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm constantly hungry these days. WHYYYY. I'm always famished by 10 and even if I eat something then, I'm starving again by noon. I've been eating breakfast at 5, same as always, but for some reason it's just not lasting.

It's been getting awfully cold these past few days. Winter autumn is coming. Maybe that has something to do with it ( Read more... )
