Mournings.

I love listening to my iPod on the way to work. It really gets me pumped and ready in the morning, and it also makes me forget about the massive hills that I have to walk up on the way to the office. However, I've recently moved to a small town and listening to an iPod while you're walking is a bit different. When I walk by people now, they're usually interested in smiling and saying "hello" or "good morning" to me. Having grown up in Toronto, this is a strange and new concept. No one was usually interested in smiling at me or saying hello... and truth be told, I've never been interested in smiling at anyone either... at least not in the morning. So, for now, I'll just watch the mouth of the person walking by. If they smile, I'll smile. If they say good morning (or that's what their mouth looks to be mouthing), I'll say good morning... but I'm keeping my earbuds in.

Hermione Looking Finey Part Deux

OH EM GEE, Emma Watson. Bold move, but I think it'll pay off.

You def don't look like Hermione anymore.

Will Burberry still use you? I hope so. It could be FEE-YASS.

As someone involved in fundraising, I must say - Barack's team is on point. I know the graphic is impossible to read from here, but click on it and take a look. Trust me, you'll be impressed.

Reading Challenge Update

Ok... I really need to get focused, because I've got under a month left to read 3 more books. I've got 5 books on the go right now and that needs to stop. However, I once had 3 books on the go, and I finished them all in a short amount of time. It's all about focus and dedication.

Here's what I've got on the go and what I think so far:

• Smart Women Finish Rich - this book is AWESOME! I've learned some tips and tricks about my finances that I'm so grateful for already! However, the author suggests that you read and re-read sections of it before moving on, so I'm taking a break from the book while I read some others, and then in a few months I intend to get back to it! Another note about SWFR - it is SO great as a young professional to be figuring out these financial skills so early on, BUT some of them aren't applicable quite yet, so I'm sure it'll act as a reference guide over the next 10 years, too.
• The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank) - I started this a month or so ago and kinda took a break for a bit. It's an important read though, and I'd like for it to be part of my final 3 books.
• The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got That Way - this has been on my bookshelf for ages, which is surprising because of how much I've always enjoyed reading it (this is my 3rd time trying). I think I've made it further than I ever have before, and I plan on finishing this first of the 3 I've got left.
• The School on the Hill - this book is a work in progress. No plans to finish it ASAP.
• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Could this one even count? It's like my 10th time reading it, but I wanna re-read the whole series before the movie comes out in November, so I'm starting now. I'll see if I want to include it in the challenge... maybe if I'm desperate after finishing the two others. We'll see!
  

You make my dreams come true!

I have so many days like this.

TIGHTROPE!
