Sunday are not really fun days. In my city, buses do not run on Sunday's, so most of the time I find myself inside (or, at work, rare, but happens).
Today, was a simple day. Due to stormy conditions everyone was stranded in the apartment, or rather I was. This is third storm we've had in March. You could say it's been an awful start to spring. And, in light of what I will tell you about the rest of my Sunday, this picture seemed fitting.
So, I decided that I would watch one of my newest favourite Disney movie's in light of the snow, rain and freezing rain storm outside.
Curled up my couch, in a relatively warm apartment.
I watched Frozen.
I also am stuck inside so that means making my own food, a skill, to which I am extremely impaired. But today, Sunday, is normally different.
Today was rather healthy, which is unusual.
Rice and some veggies!
All-in-all, Sunday's are days to make simple food that is virtually impossible to screw up and watch your favourite movies while you procrastinate all the things you are supposed to be doing.
On a side note, I hope that you all participated in Earth Hour!

Make every day a little more enjoyable.
I've discovered several things in the past month or so that help make every day a little more enjoyable.
I had to cover a really large bad word, thanks to friendly contribution.
Including the 100 Happy Days!
And Keri Smiths' "Wreck This Journal", though I am aware that this has been a phenomenon for awhile, I love sharing the new discoveries in my life.
I will start with my successful third day of #100happydays
Day 1: Nap time on Tuesday and Thursday are probably one really important reason why I'm happy. I start this day at 7:30 and end at 5:30, however, this particular day I went until 10:30. So a little shut eye is always welcoming.
Day 1-Part 2: Perfect eye lines are super hard to get and this day just happened to be one of the good days. Another reason to be happy!
This refreshed looked only possible by a cat nap and fresh shower.
Day 2: Snow day and the successful completion of work I kept procrastinating on.
Day 3: Coffee was the only reason I was awake this morning, and what about that doesn't make someone happy!?
Yes, I'm Canadian, so that ultimately makes me predisposed to happiness.
Day 3, Part 2: I won a free coffee off the coffee I bought, and won three suckers in my class for answering questions correctly, and, YES I am in university.
I've been embracing the challenge to see how long I can keep it up. I'm naturally pessimistic. So this challenge ideal, and it's working!
The other thing I mentioned was my undertaking of "Wreck This Journal"
I have several pages and activities from that book.
Each day, I try to make a contribution to this book. And at the end, I'm suppose to mail it to myself at a later date. To make a memory, and perhaps remind me, it's okay to be silly sometimes, and even happy!
Lastly, I encourage you to join these challenges. You can start the #100happydays challenge at the website above and you can buy "Wreck This Journal" at your local Chapters or Indigo!

This ones about food
I'm in the process of renaming my blog. Bare with me!
I've discovered that every odd time I have cravings for certain things. This time it's Caesar salad and any sort of ice cream.
Obsessed with DQ's red velvet blizzard.
Or any ice cream for that matter.
Bulk Barn is a luxury. I travel there to see all the lovely things I would like to cook/bake/fry. And of course get all the candy.
Starbucks has been another luxury of mine. And Oat Fudge Bars are something I really need to learn to make. As soon as I find a recipe I will post it.
I also made a worthy purchase of a "Wreck This Journal" I've already done a couple pages of it. And, GOODNESS LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE STRESS RELIEF.
And after I destroyed the pages, I found a place to have a nap.

Indian Butter Chicken Recipe!
I have a new recipe for you! Although, hopefully you've all heard about this delicious under-taking of food.
Indian Butter Chicken
What you'll need:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 bottle of VH Indian Butter Chicken Sauce (or a brand of your preference, there is lots out there)
- 2 cups of white instant rice
- Add your favourite vegetables. Sometimes I like to add Spanish oninons, yellow, red, and green peppers. (these are not necessary)
Preparation:
- You will place the chicken in the pan, with some butter and your perferred seasoning (I like seasoning salt), and cook on medium heat for 10-20 minutes - until chicken is no longer pink.
- Once the chicken is cooked, all the way through, take it out of the pan and cut the chicken in small/medium size chunks, and place it back in the pan.
- Take your bottle of Indian Butter Chicken, and depending on your chicken add the entire bottle into the pan. Lower heat, simmer-level 2.
- On a separate burner, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, (add some salt), and then add the rice when it comes to a boil.
- Place pot cover the rice for directed time until all the water is gone.
- Let cool and serve.
Makes:
2/3 servings

A day in the life of...
A figure since my blog is about a day in the life of, it should have more post about what I do in the run of a day.
Today is an unusual day. I'm on March Break from university.
So, I will tell you what I am doing and then what I should be doing.
Today, I started my day sick. Violently sick. Flu from hell sick.
So, I grabbed some of this newly discovered soy beverage that I am in love with.
Made a cup of regular tea and started on homework I have been procrastinating on for awhile.
I folded the last load of laundry I brought home. Lets just say I used a lot of my parents laundry soap.
Yep, at 20 years old I still wash my laundry at home. Broke gurl, over here!
This is usually later especially when I am back in the city. I get occupied with other things.
This time it was salmon. A rarity when my Dad cooks, but when he does it is amazing.
Usually I am not doing to much regularly. Procrastinating the work I have to do.
In affect, I've discovered just how boring my life is. Ha!
What are you doing during the day? Share with me your fun activities and I will try them!

Keep things consistent!
Is anyone still out there?
I've been seriously neglecting this blog mostly because I have not had much to post about. I switched phones. Making it harder to transfer my photos. I've also been busy, deciding my life.
- Illness:
* I've been super sick lately. I was in the hospital for a few days. Boo. But, I am feeling quite a bit better now.
- School:
* Midterms have taken over my academic life - but hey, it's that's time of year. Currently, I am on March (I was fortunate enough not to have a strike this year) and when I return, I have three more.
* Getting into psychology was a blessing in disguise. Now, just to figure out what I want to do with psychology.
* Bio-psych is where I am leaning. (possible university transfer)
- Work:
* I am still working at the job I told you about in my earlier post. Not much hours.
* Looking for a second summer job. (hint, hint guys!)
- Life in general:
* Being on vacation is nice. I'm using some of my time to relax but also using it to catch up on some work, getting ahead on things I know I can get ahead on.
* Leonard and I are still very happy. March is our sixth month together. Thankfully he still puts up with my craziness.
* I am making a commitment to get involved in things I like.
* Looking at an all girls sorority, and getting back into dance.
* I am also making a commitment to the blog. Because I would like post a lot more. Keep things consistent.
