Church Time

Last night I went to mass for Santa Lucia patron Saint of the Blind.
Now I'm not a religious person - I like to think of myself as more of a spiritual individual - but I did enjoy myself. My young cousins on the other hand did not.
It reminded me so much of when I was younger and dragged to church every Sunday with my mother. I hated it. And it probably has something to do with my current dislike of organized religion. But this got me thinking about time.

When you're young, time seems to stretch on forever. You can't wait for the next day to come and you feel like it always takes an eternity to get here. Maybe that accounts for why they find church so excruciatingly long? As an adult on the other hand, time just flies. There are never enough hours in a day to accomplish everything you plan to, and you dread the next day and the additional tasks it will bring. The hour one spent in church is nothing more than a blip at this point and seems far less boring. You listen to the stories, and the time passes quickly, rendering it far more tolerable.
Does that make sense?

What I wore to church last night...

Blouse - Vintage (mine since 2008); skirt - Smart Set (2010);
tights - Hue (2010); boots - Spring (2011)

Grey & Brown

Neutrals week continues!
Nope, I haven't forgotten, I've just been so freaking tired lately that all I want to do when I get home is sleeeeeeeep.

It seems that no matter how much I get, I could always use more... does anyone else ever feel like this?

Anyhoo... Tuesday was Grey:

tee - Esprit (2011); cardigan - Jacob (2011);
pants - Max/Miley (2009); boots - Thrifted (2008)

And Wednesday was Brown:

tee - F21 (2011); cardigan - Jacob (2008); skinnies - Smart Set (2010);
boots - Sirens (2010)

I'll be sure to update my closet tomorrow... but right now.. you guessed it! Sleep!

BT & The First Snowfall

I'm really confused.

I live in Canada, so you think people would be used to the crazy amounts of snow we get every winter, right? So why is it that for some reason, come first snowfall, everyone just kind of forgets how to drive?

You should see the number of cars in the ditch... hilarious... until of course one spins out and comes your way.

And no, I didn't wear this today... heels, tights & short sleeves do not mix well with a first snow fall! This is from a few days back...

dress - Dynamite (2011); tights - Hue (2010); belt - Dynamite (2011);
heels - Aldo (2010)

Keeping: tights, belt & heels
Debating: this dress, I've only worn it once before now.

And once again... no "Ways I've Worn" because as I've said, this baby's only been pulled out once before! Hmmmm, it's a good thing I'm doing this challenge!

BT: Weekend Fun & A Love Affair

SWAMPED!

Or at least that's how I feel at work lately. It's only Tuesday and I already feel like I've worked more than a week. I have a feeling I will be in serious need of vacation come Christmas.

The little bits of fun I've been having in between are welcome changes. Last Saturday we had a lovely dinner at the Best Friend's place out in Woodlawn, followed by drunken "Just Dance" on the Wii. If you haven't played yet, you have no idea what you're missing. You look so ridiculous trying to mimic the avatar on the screen you can't help but laugh at yourself :)
Last night the BF and I went for Indian at the East India Company on Somerset - by FAR the best indian food in Ottawa, and they have buffet so if you're new to the experience there's lots for you to try. I'm in love with their Veg Korma. I asked it if it wanted to date, but apparently it has a lot of suitors and wasn't ready to settle down. That's okay, as long as it has time for me at least once a month.

Still keeping up with my Challenge too :) I'll EVENTUALLY have a spreadsheet - but that requires free time.

cardigan - Dynamite (2010); blouse - Smart Set (2010);
skirt - Dynamite (2010); boots - LimeLight (2009)
