Green

Now with my new relationship status, I am feeling more myself than ever- and loving it! Yesterday we went to Vancouver, and my sister and I went in to Chapters bookstore and I was looking around and they have a bunch of books about living green. They were super interesting and under $10 each. So now I'm trying to convince my parents to let me control the grocery budget every month and try to turn our family to organic and green products for the same amount we pay for groceries or less. Seeing as I work in a grocery store I can normally get a good estimate on how much things will cost. Anyways, hopefully they go for the idea.

As for the fact that I'm happier than ever, I can't really explain. I just feel like I have more time to do the things I really love and complete all the little projects I've been meaning to do for some time. Yesterday I bought some headphones so I can finally listen to my iPod again instead of just playing it in the car. 

Well, I'm off to work today from 11-7 and I'm also working the next 3 days, and I don't mind at all. It's time to start appreciating all the little things again, or else they'll pass you by..

Refreshed

So I know I haven't posted in a while and that's because lately I've been fairly busy. I've been working more hours lately and on Friday went shopping in Seattle. It was so much fun! It's funny how even that little bit down the border things are different. For example, the gas pump I used was super confusing, it had some long coil thing at the end that you have to push in hard to start pumping. Also, their gas stations are liquor stores as well, or at least the one I went to. 

One of the coolest things I saw in the States was Plato's Closet, it's a sort of consignment store but has really, really nice clothes. I got a pair of Charlotte Russe pumps for ten bucks! Also, we visited the Pike Place Market and it was amazing! I loved all the fresh produce.

So anyways, life is busy. Tomorrow I believe I'm going to Vancouver for the day and then I have to work four days straight. But I can't complain, I'm loving every second of it!

Waiting on the sun

ps- That first picture is taken right by my house.

Happy, happy, happy!

I am newly single (my choice), and am on my two weeks Spring Break! While everyone is jetting off to Mexico or Palm Springs I'm stuck here in this little valley. BUT, I have come to decide that it's not a bad thing, it will give me plenty of time to relax, work, and get all that stuff I've been meaning to do done. 

So far my mom has had to have surgery on her hand, because she broke it falling on the ice a few weeks ago. This led us to Victoria on Saturday and I spent 11-7 at work yesterday. Later on today I'll be heading out to Victoria again just to look around. 

So far so good!

Everything happens for a reason...

Mount Washington, where I'll be this weekend! This week has been great and also kind of stressful, I can't wait to just get away for a few days!
