Day 3

Yes, I've been putting this off. My excuses are as follows (in descending weight);

1. I've been busy doing things that have made me question the notion that anything can be fun.

2. Technically, I was supposed to spend the next few months planning and start blogging early June. I got excited and wanted to get a jump start. Much more on my blog agenda this summer.

3. Lately, I've given up procrastinating as a whole, this excluding leisurely activities. Since it's my blog, and I have no deadlines, I may very well exercise my right to drag my feet every so often.

My Aunt Pierrette, Marriette and I are the only ladies left at art class, as usual. Sometime around ten, Marriette decides she is in need of an artistic cleansing. My aunt and I are hearing "bubblebath", "glass of wine", and "foot massage", followed by an artistic brainstorming and, eventually, a new painting. Marriette, however, has something else in mind. She takes her shoes off and proceeds to remove her socks. We start to shake our heads but she is persuasive. A few moments later, the three of us find ourselves yelping as we tip-toe barefoot in the snow-covered yard outside the art club. 

Day 2

It's 10pm and you're craving a DQ blizzard. Problem is, you've sort of been doing this thing called saving your money, and ten dollars here and there add up. Furthermore, you know as well as any just how easily a treat can become a habit. What, then, are you to do?

This is a sundae I made with the following ingredients.

> The last scoop of vanilla ice cream

> Pecans I picked from a jar of mixed nuts

> Milk chocolate chips

> Nesquik

> Sprinkles 

> Skor bits

I should mention my obsession with miniature things. I'm partial to things that are smaller than they should be (in most cases). 

 

Day 1

      
        This is a picture of Zack and I at a furniture warehouse. Zack, Shanel (who took this shot) and I spent the afternoon testing out sofas and mattresses at various stores. Soon, what had started out as a purely recreational outing turned into the quest to find the most comfortable mattress in Sudbury. After a long and strenuous few hours of rigorous physical activity, we painstakingly came to the conclusion that Tempur-Pedic beds are, though ridiculously priced, unrivalled when it comes to comfort and pressure relief. The photo shows us lying on a Serta, our number one pick (The Serta won out over the Tempur because it was as affordable as it was comfortable).

It ain't the end of the world.

So the money's tight. Really tight, for all of us. But that's our fault; for working like students and spending like the established. It's cool though, because the tighter the money, the tighter our belts.

University's done for the year. Summer's coming. Will we suffer? Nah. It's a little thing called thrifty entertainment, and it starts Monday.
