Back to the Classics*
I heart Mozart. More specifically, I am in love with Symphony No. 40 in G Minor. I had kind of forgotten about my passion for classical music of late and have been mostly listening to mainstream music. However, the other night as I decided to vent on my piano keys I pulled out my classical music and started flipping through the pages. I haven’t played it in AGES, so I began with the classics–Pachelbel’s Canon (Canon in D), Hayden’s Surprise Symphony, Fur Elise, and then I flipped to Mozart. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about this piece… and I used to know it so well that I could play it by…

The Meeting* (Chapter Two)
I last wrote about the very first time that M and I saw each other. Tonight I’ll tell you how we actually met several weeks later. So. In the weeks that followed after the dance I saw the (future at this point) Hubs around, but as I hadn’t actually met him, and didn’t know any of the people that he associated with, we hadn’t met. Now this is the part of the story where my cousin (Lil G) and M’s best friend (Too Kool) love to take credit for our marriage. You see, in 2002 Too Kool was called to serve a mission in Colorado for two years. As his…

Snow Mountains*
So I promised that I would post pictures of the massive snowfall we had on the weekend. This one was actually taken by my mother-in-law and is just SO much better than the ones I took! Snow banks have taken on a new name: snow mountains. Let me introduce you to Toby, their dog… if you can find him. haha! These next ones are of my balcony / parking lot. Out balcony had NO snow on it Friday morning. Now there is almost a foot. This was after the big John Deer tractors had to come clear out the parking lot on Sunday morning. Everyone was absolutely snowed in. I…

Taken Aback*
I first heard this on perezhilton.com and was really taken aback. I’m not really politically-minded; I believe in the freedom of choice (including one’s lifestyle) and I believe that the following statements by Sally Kern are closed-minded and unfair. I do believe thats she too has the freedom to take a stand on homosexuality, but to put forth statements that are now being labeled as hate speech by many that are offensive and hurtful is just wrong. I don’t know. Take a listen HERE. She has released a statement that she stands by what she said. Thoughts? Shop Girl*

Not in Florida*
Ugggggh….. snow. Snow snow snow. Most of Southern Ontario has been absolutely blanketed in a thick layer of sky vomit. It started a little bit last night, but came on in full force this morning. Unfortunately, my university (and many others) had planned to have their Open Houses for prospective students today. I had to go in to man a booth for my position at school, and of the 1000+ that had RSVP’d, about 100 showed up. Needless to say, it was a sloooooow day. haha! Thankfully we (the Hubster had to go in for his job as well) were finished by 1pm and made it home as they eventually…
