Alright folks, I just have to say that I love snow! And will sound ridiculous to lots of people but I was getting so sad that we weren't getting much snow this year.
Well, let's just say that now I feel much better. Yesterday we had a huge snow storm. And by huge, I mean that they even shut down the university. Then I got up this morning and it was snowing again! Not a lot of snow, but snow nonetheless.
As some of you may know, I have to write a Nature Observation Journal for my Elementary Science class. Well, really, I have to draw one. Problem is, I can't really draw. Also, I live in the city so there is only so much nature to observe.
While looking out my window yesterday, I got a genius idea; I will take a sheet of black construction paper and photograph snowflakes to put in my journal! Here are some of the best pictures I got:
Beautiful, right? It is amazing the things that nature creates.
Alright folks, I had a snow day today! That's right, the university actually shut down. So I got lots done today; both serious and fun.
I finished a lesson plan for my Visual Arts class. Yay!
My friend, Ms. A brought me grocery shopping. I got lots and lots of delicious food.
Then Ms. A and I came home and we had a mini supper party! We made lots of delicious food. And listened to lots of Ingrid Michaelson.
First we made a chicken stir fry thing. Ms. A likes lots of cheese!
Whipping cream. I discovered that whipping cream by hand is harder than mashing potatoes by hand. It definitely took a long time...
Eventually it turned into this though. Success!
And then we made Chai Tea Lattes at home. It was delicious! We even added whipped cream on top. Yum!
Here is the dessert! Chai Latte and Strawberry Angel Food Cake. It was fantastic if I do say so myself!
It was a fantastic night ending with two very content friends, relaxing with mellow music. I definitely need to do it a little more often. Good friends. Good food. Good life. Who could ask for anything more?
It's Friday. And it's a better Friday than most Fridays because it's a SNOW DAY FRIDAY! So let's link up with my friend Amanda to share what made us happy this week.
- I ordered Wendy's for supper one day this week. I was so hungry and no matter what I ate, I just couldn't feel full. This made it all better!
I should get paid for this kind of advertisement...
- I received a textbook I had ordered used online. When I got the box, there was a little message written on it. It made me happy. Love the little things.
Isn't that just too cute?
- Spent Wednesday at the Science Center in town. We had so much fun checking out the exhibits and the staff was super friendly. Here is my attempt at taking a picture of our shadows on their "Shadow Wall".
I'm a pretty talented photographer, I know.
- Wednesday was also my mommy's birthday! Yay! I got to Skype with her and both my aunts at once. It was lots of fun. Like a mini family reunion.
- After my interview Wednesday, I made a delicious big breakfast. It was the best!
All the food groups! Go me!
- Thursday night, I did a presentation with my friends for one of our classes. That marked our being done two thirds of that class. Not even halfway through this term and we're finishing stuff up. To celebrate, we went for warm, cozy, happy beverages at Second Cup. I love these girls! Don't know how I'd get through it without them.

- Woke up this morning and felt kind of lazy. Started doing homework and found out my gym class was cancelled. Did a mini victory dance.
- My friend found this video. Could there really be a sequel? It's almost too good to be true!
- After the yucky weather with rain and everything melting, it is snowing a lot today. I am so excited to have snow again. The world looks so pretty! It's like it is dressing up just for me.
Ain't it purdy?
I hope all of you enjoyed your week as much as I did. And I love hearing about you and what makes you happy. In fact, your messages make me happy! So feel free to comment!
