Oh. My. God. I'm living IN the mountains these next two weeks. Not on, not near, not at the base of, but IN. THE. MOUNTAINS. It's beautiful. Everywhere I look: mountains. And it's like 10-15 C here. There are just no words....
Also, I'm living in a hotel. Hotel Europa, to be exact. It's in a village called Madonna di Campiglio, which is essentially just hotels.
You know, I started this post 2 weeks ago. I'm finishing it now. I'm exhausted. The Dolomites are beautiful. It was cold. Somehow "I don't agree" turned into "I don't like green" and we're still not sure why. My kids did Phineas and Ferb as their final show and it worked out okay (or as okay as it can be when you give an orange group the script on Thursday).
ACLE has no more work for me, so I'm "stuck" here for 17 days. I'm going to Baiardo until at least August 6th with the plan being that I'll bus it to the beach in San Remo every day. After that, I'm either doing a Contiki type tour in London for 5 days. Or I might go to Munich to stay with a BNL friend. Or I might make different plans with someone I meet in Baiardo. Who knows? I sure don't! Isn't it exciting (and kinda terrifying)?
I miss my friends, I miss my family, I miss my dog, I miss my bed.
Ciao!

Happy Easter!
Not a huge blog today, just a few quick things.
1. If you haven't heard it, please try to look up Rabbit and the Resurrection by Barenaked Ladies. FANTASTIC Easter song!
2. I wonder if anyone in my family will remember I'm lactose intolerant and not serve milk/cream/cheese based dishes?
3. Happy Zombie Jesus day! Try not to eat too many chocolates in one sitting :P
Edited to add: Here's a video that I made of the BNL song I mentioned in #1

Cleaning my room, part three
I'm inspired. I've got my laptop in my room, blasting the new Barenaked Ladies album All In Good Time along with the rest of my mega awesome iTunes library. I've got the new Chris Moore book Bite Me on my bed, in case cleaning gets too unbearable. I've got a bottle of water at my side and the determination to finish my long dresser.
Want to know what I've found so far? Notes from the summer class I took in 2008,
the USB key I used in CEGEP (graduated in 2007), a chemistry textbook (the last time I took chemistry was 2005), some sheet music from my high school band (played sax!), directions to a new store, it just opened (in 2004), two pattern packages for sexy dresses, scrabooking crap, half a dozen books and CDs that belong to my ex friend's ex boyfriend. And I haven't even looks IN my drawers yet to see what kind of clothing I've got in there. My prediction: bras in like 4 different sizes that don't even come close to fitting me anymore.
Most of what I just mentioned is completely useless to me right now, except maybe the pattern packages. They're for "plus" sizes, so I must have already been fat when I bought them. As you can tell
from these pictures, the dresses are super cute. I just need to commandeer a sewing machine and, perhaps, some time and I can maybe make a dress or two this summer...
Maybe not this summer, actually. Two summer classes and a trip... I'll be pretty busy. Better than being bored all summer, I guess. It's not like I can get a job, as a university student with a job waiting in September, no one is going to hire me for 45 days during the summer. 45 days where I'd be unavailable on Sundays and weekday afternoons from 1-4pm. Nope, not getting a job. Not happening!
On another note, I also found 3 pairs of sunglasses. Couple that with the two pairs I just bought and the four pairs I keep in my basket in the washroom and, well, I've got a lot of sunglasses. They're my main summer accessory! I can't wear red sunglasses with a pink shirt, I can't wear pink sunglasses with an aqua shirt, I can't wear my big green sunglasses other than on St-Patrick's Day and wearing the same black sunglasses get boring. Here's where I need your help, dear faithful reader(s) (I'm still not sure I actually have more than, like, 4 "faithful readers lol): How should I store all these sunglasses? They don't have cases, so telling me "in their case" is not a valid suggestion. My current thoughts are either in individual ziploc bags in a small drawer in my dresser (provided I can clear a small drawer) or in a basket on my dresser. I'm not liking the basket idea too much, because I'll lose space and they'll get all dusty and eww.
So, leave a comment and let me know your opinion. Oh and let me know if you want the scrapbooking crap :P
