Day Thirty-Six: November 25, 2012

I’m finding great and quick breakfast ideas on Pinterest and I love it! 

Banana, covered in peanut butter, rolled in cereal. Brilliant.

Day Thirty-Five: November 24, 2012

What did I do today? Absolutely nothing. Well that’s not completely true. I did visit the grocery store where I proceeded to spend $100.

When you live in a small town ANY outing is exciting. I particular love visiting the grocery store. I set aside a significant chunk of time, allowing myself to walk the whole store at glacier pace. I sometimes even walk the aisles two or three times . . . just to be sure I didn’t miss anything. I used to worry about spending so much at the grocery store but when I’m only using half a tank of gas every three weeks, it’s ok to indulge a little.

The rest of my day was spent relaxing. I watched The Grinch, I took a bath, I drank some wine and of course, I cuddled with my bff Blue.

Day Thirty-Four: November 23, 2012

Hands down, best meal I’ve made since I moved here. Pineapple ham, delicious. 

Day Thirty-Three: November 22, 2012

I covered a story at the Cochrane Curling Club tonight. There are maple leaves hidden under the ice all over the rink. What’s more Canadian than that? 

Day Thirty-Two: November 21, 2012

Time to get FESTIVE! We decorated at work today. Snowflakes and lights in the windows. Garland hanging from the from the front desks and I even put up a tiny tree in my office. 

Day 30-31: November 19-20, 2012

I basically spent Monday and Tuesday doing a lot of work. I worked 10 hours both days leaving little time in between to do much else. I do, however, have some more photos from the weekend that I’d like to share with you. 

This photo reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. It’s like she’s following a path and what’s beyond the barn door is unknown.

I love photographing trees. I don’t know why. Some people might find them boring. They don’t move, there’s no action. But I find them secure. Representing something sturdy and powerful. There’s always something unique that draws me to them. For this tree it’s the red bird house that belongs to it. 

I also have a thing for reflection shots. There’s a double meaning for this photo. There’s an actual reflection in the water from the surrounding trees which I love. The other type of reflection is where you capture a person reflecting. Looking out over a body of water, a mountain, a field, a piece of architecture, etc.

A personal moment caught on film.

Day Twenty-Nine: November 18, 2012

Today was the best day ever. We went to the Polar Bear Habitat in Cochrane and we did see the polar bears but we spent about an hour and half taking photos in the Heritage Village.

Here’s Ganuk first … if you’ve been following the blog you’ll remember that I covered a story about Inukshuk’s big debut at the habitat. Ganuk is Inukshuk’s son. Alright now that you’ve seen the bears…

… cue epic photo session. Bridesmaids.

How the timer caught a candid moment is beyond me but thank goodness for it.

Pretty much describes their relationship. Love.

This perfectly describes their friendship. They love each other really though. 

Thank you so much for coming girls.  It was an amazing time and I love you all very much!

Day Twenty-Eight: November 17, 2012

My girlfriends came to visit this weekend and boy did we ever have some good laughs. I honestly don’t think there’s a better thing in this world than laughter. It makes you feel better when you’re blue or sick, it relieves stress, it stops you from worrying and it brightens everything around you.

Our Saturday night consisted of eating a lot of deep fried food, napping, drinking, more drinking, dancing, drinking and more eating. Typical.

Even though it’s blurry this is the best photo. It makes me smile.

Day Twenty-Seven: November 16, 2012

Today was just the most beautiful day in Cochrane. It was cool but the sun was out, the skies were blue and it was a perfect day for walking everywhere in town. It was a great way to end off the week and prepare for the weekend and for my very best girls to come visit!

Stay tuned for crazy, epic, girly photos to follow!

Day Twenty-Six: November 15, 2012

Today when I left my house my car was covered in these perfect, tiny round balls of snow. They literally looked like the fake styrofoam snow.
