The Little "+"s


Kudos to K & R for this idea.

+ Two shifts on Surgery this week. Smiling like an idiot, because it's what I'm supposed to be doing.
+ New standalone Starbucks. 
+ Sleeping in this morning.
+ Late night cuddles & laughs with the siblings.
+ Going to watch Oz The Great And Powerful with Sister. Realizing it's a kid's movie.
+ Sunny weather and spring.
+ Hanging out with 1st & 2nd & 3rd year nursing students. Unite!
+ Dressing up for a banquet.
+ Fun lifeguarding shifts. 

Life has so many pluses. Why focus on the negatives???

No. 283 - Six Things Sunday


  1. Somehow between home, the library, and the pool, I lost the book in the picture above, which is really unfortunate because I wanted to see how it ended. My hope is that someone picked it up and realized it was a library book and returned it, so I don't get charged.
  2. One of my favourite things to do on a rainy day is read. It's just so fitting.
  3. I have been loving the "green" in Fort McMurray. It is just so sudden and vibrant. 
  4. The DJ at the pool last night was good times. A mix of dubstep and club style with a few hits thrown in.
  5. Happy May Long Weekend! This weekend brings back lots of memories of traditions back home such as the parade and inter-congregational church service at the Rec Centre.
  6. This morning is a pancake morning. Yep, yep it is.

No. 268 - Go A Little Crazy {or Neon}


Check out the awesome neon nail polish I got recently! I needed some fun colours in order to match my spring/summer mood. Brother suggested I paint each nail a different colour, but I think I was already risking enough reputability just wearing neon nail polish. Anyways, I went for a bright green in the end.

No. 260 - A Little Fall of Rain


Eponine: Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius.
I don't feel any pain.
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now.
You're here, that's all I need to know.
And you will keep me safe.
And you will keep me close.
And rain will make the flowers grow.
Marius: But you will live 'Ponine, dear God above.
If I could close your wounds with words of love.

Les Miserables is one of my favourite theatre productions (that and The Phantom of the Opera). In preparation for the movie coming out in December with Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Amanda Seyfried, I have been listening a lot to the soundtrack. I think my favourite song from the play is A Little Fall of Rain sung by Eponine and Marius. Eponine is my favourite character in the play, but also the saddest. Anyways, the rainy weather today reminded me of the song. Here is a cover by Nick Jonas and Samantha Barks (who will be playing Eponine in the movie) at the 25th Anniversary Concert.

No. 238 - La, La, La


The birds came back today. Spring is near!

Also, a verse from today's devotions.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through 
our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 2 Peter 1:3.

No. 231 - Frolicking

It felt like spring, so we took a walk the other day.
It was beautiful.


I jumped in puddles with my red rainboots!


We stopped in Home Hardware.
That pig is a BBQ . . . yes, a BBQ . . .

. . . that cost $2,199.99!



I am so ready for spring!
