Folklore, accents and slippery flowers: My life

 I went to the Post-Secondary fair yesterday. I almost got left behind by the school bus, but realized the room was about three hundred kids short before it was too late.

Now I get to shuffle through a bunch of universities' attempts to steal my soul. Woot for trying to make decisions.

And did you know that you can major in Folklore at Memorial? I kid you not.

Oh, and here's my Halloween costume, made out of a flower shaped sleeping bag:

The trick-or-treaters found me sitting in a chair directly in front of the door, dressed as a flower, blasting dubstep (especially this little ditty) and attempting to keep my laptop from sliding off my lap due to the slippery fabric.

It's beginning to look a lot like... Christmas?

My coffee cup, which appeared in my office this summer. I liked it so I took it.

My deck this morning.

 People have begun mentioning Christmas shopping, winter coats are in stores and the first snow has/is falling. Winter is nearly upon us.

Yeah for mittens, socks, tea, hot chocolate, blankets, scarfs, knit sweaters, Christmas music, trees, fresh snow, coziness and snow days.

Neigh for bulky coats, -15 degrees (C) temperatures at the bus stop, shoveling, snow banks, bulky boots, slush, ice, getting out of bed in the cold, February, winter weight, and inconvenient blizzards.

I find myself being excited about winter this year and I don't really know why. I want nice, flaky snow. I want to wear my growing second hand sweater collection. I want to curl up under a blanket and watch movies. Usually I have more an attitude of disdain of cold temperatures.

What do you guys like/dislike about winter?

Halloween decorations, anyone?

Oh, how I love my nerdy family. My brother made this and brought to a contest at school. He didn't win anything, but still deserves honorable mention.

I have costume, from the 'Bed and Bath' section of Value Village, but I have to make a few adjustments. I walked past it and it was just too good an opportunity to miss.

Love, -J-

This post is unrelated Tuesday.

Today, I colored three coloring sheets with crayons.

I drank coffee for the first time in a week.

People kept touching my hair for some reason.

Guitar lessons started back up and realized that my guitar strings are rusty.

I witnessed a formerly homeschooled kid, Kaelen, try to open a combination lock for the first time. She then had to be taught by Moriah, who had to learn the same skill last year.   

I need to make my costume for Halloween. I can't decide between a bedsheet ghost or a swallow carrying a coconut (a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference). Decisions, decisions.

My life is so entertaining, especially on Tuesdays.*sarcasm*
