taking stock {of june}

June, you've been an odd bird. You've thrown me some curve balls along the way, but I could never say we weren't buddies. Let's take stock...

Dealing with having a sore back...not fun!

Hoping to go on a little long weekend staycation.

Discovering new towns and restaurants in the lovely North East.

Realising that I have to be more patient and that things don't happen right away.

Finding it difficult missing my besto's wedding. Darn back injury :(

Missing out on being a bridesmaid at the above mentioned wedding.

Watching Celebrity Masterchef. Loving this season!

Eating lots of homemade Chinese food, thanks to O!

Drinking lots of freezing water with lemon in my new Essie Button Costco cups!

Making fruit smoothies.

Listening to O planning climbing lessons...lordy!

Hoping O doesn't fall down!

Trying to stop taking my painkillers for my back...they make me snoozy and sick.

Figuring out how to use my DSLR (still!).

Loving listening to O making plans for my birthday next week!

Waiting til the weekend to see my lovely buddy Caroline & her husband!

Attempting to get through about 5 blog posts after my hiatus this week (darn painkillers).


{the card above was one I gave to O for our anniversary. He is most definitely the ketchup on my chips! ♡♡}

 

 

life lately {taking stock}

The last few weeks have been both tough and brilliant, at the same time. I've written this post what feels like a million times and then scrapped it. But in the end, I decided to publish it, sometimes the difficult ones to write are the best. This week I've been faced with lots of decisions, good and bad. Anyone who knows me, knows I hate making decisions. So, it's been a long and tiring one this week. Let's take stock...

Trying to decide whether or not to take a job in my old field. Is that taking the easy way out? Or is that being sensible?

Wanting to try the Purple Pig. The burgers and sides look seriously drool-worthy!

Realising that sometimes it's OK to put yourself first.

Loving Oscar even more for looking after me these last few weeks.

Continually being surprised by people.

Receiving a tax rebate...hells yeah! Treats for Lou and Oscar!

Drinking the new Hornsby's Cider, summer in a bottle!

Deciding what to do for my birthday...three weeks left of being 32 :/

Marvelling at the wonder that is controlling YouTube on my TV with my phone and iPad! Seriously, what is this magic?!

Thinking how lucky I am lately.

Admiring Kiefer Sutherland in 24.

Regretting finishing the second season of Orange is the New Black so quickly.

Sorting what I want to do. With my life.

Buying new dresses and water bottles (a la Essie Button stylee).

Coveting this Marc Jacobs bag. Oh my!

Hoping that I make the right decision.

Needing a holiday.

Attempting to keep everyone happy and inevitably failing.

Hankering after getting married soon.

Wishing I had a crystal ball to see into the future.

Eating a lot of curry and Nutella. Not together...

Disliking rubbish people who suck out your soul.

The above beautiful photo was taken down on the Beaches in Toronto. Oh how I wish I was back there!
