the honest chronicles of a 'granola' twenty something girl/lady/woman/lunatic, paired with her insight (right or wrong) on life's predicaments. all posts inspired & written in the nighthawk hours, in which she cannot sleep. sleep is for the weak. live. love. laugh. sleep later.

vegan "v"hursdays.

i don't like meat that much. i can easily do without it. i DO love cheese & would possibly sacrifice my life for it. so how does a cheese lover vegetarian become a vegan? slow and steady wins the race. some people believe in meatless mondays...i prefer vegan "v"hursdays. join me in this endeavor.

I have a problem.

MIA from this blog for almost a year in deutschland...apologies. i return to my beloved westcoast to catch the end of summer. AND WHOOPS, moving to toronto. how did that happen? after living in england, ontario, germany, and victoria in 5 years...it has only come to me now that i may be obsessed with moving. or perma running? you choose.

first world problem.

biggest pet peeve of the moment: german keyboards. at a first glance...they look normal. so you think, "YES! i can just type my life away". but no. this is a lie and can be proven by the fact that this small paragraph has taken me about 30 percent longer to type than on my lovely canadian mac. so what´s the difference you ask? isn´t german technology usually ahead of the game? well other than small punctuation differences and a little bit of this (€) and that (ß), the annoyance lies in the placement of the Y and Z keys. they are swapped. who knows why. if you do know, please let me know.

i get the kids in bed for naptime, i clean up the mayhem of toys downstairs, and i sit down with a cup/pot of tea to write. sadly, the frustration towards my fighting keyboard usually annoys me to the point of clicking. clicking on things on pinterest. but hey, things have been worse.

meteorology.

you can't complain about the heat and then turn right around and complain about the rain. we are all guilty of this, but it must stop. it is bringing us all bad karma. choose your heat genre and stick to it. i think one of the main reasons we discuss our constant discontent with the weather, is the fact that it is the easiest conversation starter. "nice weather we're having eh?", "ugh it looks grosssss outside", "looks like the clouds are rolling in, i heard it's supposed to be a good weekend though!". ludacris. we really need to find more thrilling topics to discuss in our daily lives.

life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. so love the people who treat you right and forget the ones that don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. if you get a chance, take it. if it changes your life, let it. nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

squishing my life.

i am forced with the dilemma of packing my life into a 55lb bag for my little jaunt to germany. there are so many issues with that previous sentence i don't even know where to start. adding additional pounds to my baggage, easing out at around 70lbs, will cost me around $200... sooo i am quite inspired to fit it all in the 55lb bag of death. i see it as a challenge. a challenge that i am quite certain will lead to at least 5 breakdowns by the end of the month, many of which will end in tears and me flopping into piles of clothes and useless "stuff" that i own, and creating a snow angel. if i do this right...i expect everyone in the airport to wonder where i am going, as i will be wearing as much clothing as possible from a bathing suit, all the way to my parka and possibly at least 3 headbands. maybe i'll create a trend. or i'll be tagged as the ultimate hipster? people love weird outfits these days.

beer flush.

i have one beer and im blushing. half a glass of wine and i look like i just ran a marathon. a shot of tequila and i'm in full on sweats. people think i am wasted by the time i'm at 4 pints, as it looks like my cheeks are about to explode off of my face and attack them. thank god people get beer goggles so this ball of heat that is myself, cannot be seen clearly. positive side? i don't have to spend a lot of money on blush.

miss you.

it doesn't matter how someone says it. in what context or tense. if someone says they miss you. it is warming. it makes you feel good. if you miss them, it also brings a strain to your heart, but this can sometimes be compensated and eased by the fact that they miss you too. three simple words: i miss you.

lucky duplicates.

can you only make a wish at 11:11? or does it still work at 2:22 or 4:44? if you wish twice a day at 11:11, does this make your wish stronger than if you wish every hour on the duplicate? then of course there is 7:11 and 9:11. do you go to 711 at 7:11? or just on june (7) 11th (11) because that's when they give out free slushies... if you wish on 9:11, will you end up in an ambulance?! superstition galore. i'll wish on every hour and just make sure to knock on wood, lift up my feet when i go over railroad tracks, hold my breathe in tunnels, and hit the roof when i drive through yellow lights.
