Today I [heart] – The Farm

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I have a mini fascination with farms and life on a country side. I’d like to imagine that it’s a very relaxed, slow pace lifestyle without cell phones, internet, traffic, and general craziness of the city. Although, I’d be unable to survive on a farm without the internet… So, I’m imagining my farm with the internet! While I’m getting more into whole foods, organics, and watching all the chemicals consumed with food, farms come up more often. I’m turning into a modern day ‘hippie wanna-be’ and supporting local farmers and their hard work to produce good food! I think there are significant changes on the horizon from mass produced, tasteless, chemical filled greens and meats to healthier, better quietly ones. Come on Canada, you can do it! The inspiration for this post came from books on food, documentaries, and a new season of Project Runway : ). Potato sack cocktail dress anyone?

Random Wednesday – Boxes

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Tea, check. Computer, check. Music, check. Orange cape, check. Wait, scratch the last one. I don’t wear a cape while making blog posts! Just cause it makes me feel like a ‘lean, mean, blogging machine’ it doesn’t mean I have one. It’s not fleecy, warm, and superhero-y… I swear! Well now that we got our awkward moment out of the way, lets start Random Wednesday.

  • I can’t think with music on! I can do pretty much anything while music is playing, just not think, write, read, or run. Well the running things is due to me not being aware of surroundings, so it doesn’t really count. But the other three vitally important functions are definitely not friends with music. I can be reading the same page for an hour if music is playing, my mind will just wonder off. Wait.. that means I can think … hmm, just contradicted myself, maybe I should turn off the music! Let’s rephrase, I can’t do any productive thinking. In times of need my working environment goes silent, rain against the window helps the process! Cause who would ever have a desire to go outside in the rain and take some photos… Wait.. I would.. Hmmm.
  • On the prestigious number two this week is my desire to get a haircut! When my hair is starting to go flat on one side, and back is growing into a mullet wanna be, it’s time to chop it off. Hair, I have no sympathy for you! So the problem is that my hairstylist lady is ‘sick and it’s not known when she’s coming back”.  I hope she didn’t quit. That place have a reputation for hairstylists quitting on them. My last one walked out an hour before my appointment… I’ll be trying again tomorrow.
  • I looked around the room, and there it was, or better yet.. there THEY were. Boxes upon boxes.. of … boxes. How did I ever end up owning so many pretty boxes is beyond me. I keep telling myself that one day I’ll use them for something, still waiting for that day. Here is my tiny unconscious collection, and that’s not including all the tea tins!
