one thing about wellies

Today I was having some trouble deciding whether or not I should wear wellies (hashtag firstworldproblems).  On one hand, it had rained overnight and the ground was still damp.  On the other, the sun was coming out and didn't look like it planned on bailing anytime soon.  In the end I chose my wellies.  See, the thing about wellies (that sets them apart from my other boots) is that they don't limit the possibilities of where I can walk.  Do I love my black suede boots?  Absolutely.  Can I wear them walking through the muddy grass?  Not if I want to be able to continue wearing them.  My wellies, however, allow me to be a little more carefree on the walk to class/work/anywhere.  It doesn't matter if I step in it in these things.  So I'm taking the shortcut through the puddles.  My wellies have my back ;)

One day last week my boyfriend and I were eating lunch and watching Life of Mammals (can I just say I love David Attenborough's voice?!  I find it so relaxing).  We were watching the segment about cats where a cheetah sneaks up on and hunts a zebra without it knowing when we looked down and realized our cat had stealthily snuck up and was licking the remaining mayonnaise from my plate.  Kitty had something to prove!  It's not just the big cats you guys.

Today was the quintessential autumn day.  Sunshine with crisp cool air, crunchy leaves of red and orange.  What other way to spend it than wandering around the downtown until remembering you parked at a meter and by now it has likely run out?  So of course after class I headed down to grab a coffee and check out some shops... and somehow I ended up eating delicious pizza with my favourite guy.

Did you enjoy your Friday?

Happy weekend!

This past weekend was kind of awesome, for several reasons...

Having a massage appointment that made me feel SO much better!  Hello sitting comfortably again.

Discovering the goodness known as eggs Benedict.  How have I not known about this until now??

A (self) manicure that has lasted 3 days sans chip - thank you OPI top coat.

My boyfriend renting The Hunger Games movie for us to watch and him loving it and looking up the release date for the second and making me tell him all about the second book.  

Also, he took me out for STEAKS (nom) and then surprised me with tickets for us to go see The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which he knew I really wanted to see but didn't think was coming here due to its limited release (and it was such an awesome movie)!  

I hope your weekend was equally wonderful :)

Happy Monday everybody, here's a song for you to hopefully start your week off right. I'm off to attempt a new chili recipe.
