With Love...: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea

This week was very easy going and I just enjoying my time. I have cooked and baked lots, which I really enjoyed, and it ended in some delicious treats for my family and I. I have also been reading, just one book "The Pillars of the Earth" a thousand page novel so it is taking me some time to get through it. I love just being engulfed in a book and forgetting about your own life. And its like a free movie in your head! I have been taking advantage of the wonderful, sunny weather and been outside swimming in the pool and out for a couple runs. So pretty much a lazy week.

Although, I did have a play date with a little girl named Alice when her mum came over to put a decal on my wall (Picture below!). She was very energetic and always had something to do. And was fascinated by the various fairies scattered around the house. She was definitely wearing her bossey boots, as most 3 years old do, but with much babysitting experience I didn't mind to much and enjoyed a day of swimming (in the very cold pool), trampolining and watching Beauty and The Beast (twice). A very busy, and enjoyable day.

I am sort of jealous of my friends going to university, falling back into a school routine. I do like school, well, learning the interesting things, and socializing and becoming best friends with the teachers. And I love having a routine, knowing what is going to happen in the day, where you're going and what you're going to do, so simple. Although, I think I will be scary not going back to Westwood, but going to a much larger University, knowing few people. It's a great opportunity to meet people and study things you actually want to study. That is what I am most looking forward to, taking the baloney classes I may not need, but am totally fascinated in. I am still not sure where I am going to school, and that decision is still months away, but I know what I am going to do, and am looking forward to it.

But, to keep up with my university pals, I have gotten a library card and have borrowed a couple books of things I am interested in. Just protect my brain from turning into mush. I got a book on World Myths, which is super neat to read about the ideas people had in the past for why and how things happen. And learning about ancient civilizations and how they lived, so cool. The other book I got was one on the universe, with incredible pictures of outer space. When I was little, I was fascinated with outer space and wanted to be an astronaut, needless to say that dream died out. As well to keep me smart, I've been watching the documentary channels for informative shows (okay sometimes I include Pawn Stars and Storage Wars) but have watched some really cool documentaries on bears and life under the sea. Through watching these shows, it makes me want to travel and take pictures of all the beautiful things the world holds. I've seen a lot of beautiful things on the TV screen, and want to see them in real life now and be able to capture pictures of it.

Finally, I think England is getting to me, I am drinking English Breakfast Tea more often, and even "needing a cuppa". But I am still being made fun of and corrected for saying "dollars" instead "pounds", ohhh still so much more to get used to!

Sooo, I was trying to super glue some little fairies back together, the glue got all over me. I quickly tried to wash it off, but it just spread around. This is my hand after, with much washing, a hot shower and nail polish remover.
No luck, cool new look?
