Sing-Song Sunday: One Big Unicorn by Gru (from Despicable Me)

I was watching Despicable Me with Peter today, so I thought the book that Gru wrote for the girls would be perfect for today's post! So adorable and funny!

One Big Unicorn by Gru

One big unicorn, strong and free, thought he was happy as he could be

Then three little kittens came around and turned his whole life upside down

They made him laugh, they made him cry

He never should have said goodbye. 

And now he knows he can never part from those three little kittens that changed his heart.

One Month. One Month Until I Gain a Bad-Ass Scar.

Pretty much how I'm feeling right now.

One month.

It's officially one month until June 25th, the day my head and neck gets sliced open and a piece of my hip bone is screwed into my top two vertebrae.

Sorry, I felt like being gory. But hey, it's accurate.

But I'll be honest here... I'm actually really nervous. I know that it's not strange to be nervous about a major operation, but I normally try to play it off and pretend that I'm not. Really, it's for my own benefit as much as it is for the people who I'm talking to who I don't want to freak out/make sad/annoy, etc. If I separate myself from those feelings enough, I can usually function. But when I start to think about it and reality starts hitting me, I have to wimp out and push it out of my mind.

Foodie Friday: Microwaved Meals in a Mug; My Obsession

Today was a "microwave meal in a mug" kind of day.

Actually, to be honest, every day is a good day for making a meal in a mug.

I have my go-to list of 18 Microwave Snacks You Can Cook in a Mug that I've used for quite some time now (so far I've made French Toast, Meatloaf, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake from that list, and I also used to make Brownie/Cake in a Cup a lot when I was younger though I can't remember exactly which recipe I used). But today, I stumbled upon a list of 10 more recipes I can make with a mug, and found one that I knew I had to try this morning. 

Let me take you through my little adventure!

Throw-Back Thursday: Sorry, Emma

Well, sorry Emma.

This picture always makes me laugh. I actually remember it being taken, even though I was probably only about 3 or 4. I was trying to help her stand up properly... by apparently strangling her. Toddler logic.

My favourite part is that my mum took the picture rather than prying me off of her. But I'm sure she did after... right?

Maybe this is why I have neck problems now... what goes around comes around?

I think I'm going to make Throw-Back Thursday a regular blog post category now. I don't really have that much of a background story for this picture other than what I just typed above, but I've got some good stories for other pictures so be prepared!

SO MUCH CHANGE

Hello (likely non-existant now) followers!

The theme of this post is change.

The one thing that apparently hasn't changed though is my lack of Blogging on here. Poo. Blogging is such an amazingly useful outlet so I don't know why I'm so bad at regularly updating. **Insert promise about Blogging more frequently now here**

Anyways, if this isn't your first time reading my blog (again, if anyone is even reading this...) you might have noticed that I've made MAJOR changes. I mean, spending 5 hours fiddling with HTML kind of changes. I still have some work to do, but I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks for now!

Back?

WOW, it's been wayyy too long since I last wrote.  This is always the problem I have with blogging - I'm so faithful and good at updating for a while, and once I start forgetting more, I just don't know where to start... so, I don't.  Ugh.  I know I've said it many times, but I'm honestly going to try to start writing more.  Even if it's just really short.

I don't have time to update on my life right now, but here is a quick (VERY brief) summary:

Who needs sun??

"To all my friends in Cuba: Pffft, who needs sun and warmth to have a good time in a bathing suit?? Pfffft, not me... pfffft, I'm not jealous... no, what are you talking about...

Btw the blizzard literally only let up for a few minutes, which is when this pic was taken. It's blizzarding again..."

Ahhh, being Canadian...

P.S. - If I was born a few months later, I would be there now too... =P
