I don't care what anyone says...



...I love my hair like this. How well do my nails and lipstick match the sweater eh?

On a slightly more depressing note...


The suitcase remains. I am a notoriously amazing unpacker- the minute I get home from any trip I've got all my toileteries put back in the bathroom cabinet, the laundry is turning and the luggage put back in the closet...yet I still haven't gotten around to this one. It's been almost a week since I got back from Vancouver and I refuse to believe I'm not going back out in a few days, or that I'm not hopping a plane to Winnipeg for a visit next week. 

It's been a rough few days but things are getting better. The sun finally came out today so that helps...

balcony off my bedroom

snow is melting!
back deck/yard, blue skies-finally
Also Joannie is spending the afternoon here doing her studying so the company is good!


When I feel like crap, I smile-editate. 

You know that song by Charlie Chaplin that Nat King Cole/Michael Jackson sang?


It's funny because while in the last few decades, everyone has been told never to cover up sadness and to cry if you're sad, let it out. But the advice in these lyrics-written in 1954, I like better. It actually works. The simple act of physically smiling tricks your brain into releasing endorphins that actually make you feel happier. Check out this article. So anyways, I sat and smiled and felt a million times better. Seriously, try it..after a few minutes I was like-in hysterics, it feels ridiculous but also fantastick.

Just like this..
