Sure, it's been over a year, but a lot has been going on. Stay tuned, I'm going to get this thing revved up again.

Happy Newish Year!!
Better late than never, eh? I haven't posted on this thing since September! That's so sad. But really, I have an excuse. In the past few months, we have been super busy looking for a house! To buy! And we BOUGHT ONE! It's actually a condo, but still. We move in at the beginning of February and I'm already counting down the days till we have a place of our own. Super psyched. I'm as psyched as this penguin:
Just in case the video doesn't embed here. (the video isn't showing up on my screen but I am on a completely ancient and pathetic computer right now.)
Anyway, I've been in Ontario for the past two and a half weeks over the Christmas holiday but I am going back to Alberta tomorrow. I can't say that I'm really sad to be leaving everyone again because I'm seriously so ready to start preparing for the new place. I have to start collecting boxes to throw stuff in. I have to start throwing stuff in boxes. I have to buy a couch and a dining set and a dresser because our condo will be very empty without those things. I have to start imagining the decor!
I'm kind of thinking I should do a couple of New Years Resolutions. Not that I ever keep any, of course:
1)Eat more vegetables, less crap
Okay, sounds good enough to me. I've been figuring out recently that cooked vegetables will not make me throw up. Unless they're rotten because fresh veggies in Fort Mac don't exist. I've been eating nothing but total crap lately because of the house-hunt and then Christmas, so this resolution is a must-do.
2)Sign up for a nightschool French class
I used to love French when I was in elementary and middle school, but gave up after grade 9 when that witch of a teacher YELLED at me for giving the wrong answer on the first day. It's one of my biggest regrets. Not only did it close the door to many cushy government jobs, but I feel that not knowing more than one language just limits you when you want to travel. The boyfriend and I have actually been talking about doing this for a long time now. So probably not this semester but the fall one we will take a French course at the local college. Je ne parle pas l'espagnol. Or French, either.
3)Start playing with InDesign again, and learn Dreamweaver
Cause those programs are just cool and, like French, can improve my ability to get a cushy government job, especially in PR.
4)Clean up my damn room
On a REGULAR BASIS. Since my room in my new place will be MUCH bigger than any of the shoeboxes I've been living in for the past five years, I will FINALLY have a place for everything. 2011 will be the year of organization, feng shui, zen, chi, nirvana and decorative baskets.
I guess four resolutions is enough. Don't want to overdo it now, right? Notice I didn't say anything about weight loss and exercising. The reason for this of course is that if I resolve to lose weight, it is a scientific fact that I will NOT lose weight. So it's best I just leave that alone and pray that my consumption of more veggies and less crap will lead to a side-bonus of weight loss. Darn, I think I just jixed it.
Till next time!

Culinary Genius strikes again!
Here's a little secret about me: I LOVE to cook. It's a more recent passion, but a passion nonetheless. I'm not even that good at it yet! I bought several cookbooks the other week from The Tattered Book & Coffee Shop in Fort Mac, and I've been reading them nonstop, picking out which recipes I would like to try. I've been baking cookies, making delicious pastas, and experimenting with herbs and spices. I'm usually a recipe girl but I like to throw in some variations every once in a while, just to make it more "me".
Well today, I made something delicious WITHOUT a recipe. I am actually shocked that it turned out as well as it did! I wanted to make some pancakes for Chris, but I wanted to do something that was a little bit special. I thought about throwing in some chocolate chips, but I did that last time I made pancakes. The only fruit that I had in my fridge was a bag of apples. What can I do with apples and pancakes? And then it hit me: I can make my own syrup!!
Being completely inexperienced in the art of syrup-making, I sort of just started slicing and peeling an apple until I had a ton of really thin slices. I then proceeded to dump them into a pot and poured about an inch and a half of water into it. I added cinnamon and a TON of brown sugar and let it come to a boil. This is when I began to get concerned, because it was basically just apple slices floating around in brown sugar water. It was not very syrupy at all. Then, I looked into the cupboard and found corn starch! I added only a bit more than two teaspoons of it and stirred it around a lot, and it thickened right up into a perfect syrup consistency! Just before I served this wonderful-smelling syrup, I poured some of my pure lemon honey in, just to give it a bit of a citrus kick. MMMM the smell was divine.
The final product:
Considering that I did not use one legit food measuring instrument during this entire adventure, I'd say that this turned out rather well! The syrup was light tasting, and really fresh on account of the apples and lemon honey. I wonder how long it would keep in a jar in the fridge? I like the idea of making my own syrup from now on instead of buying preservative-laden syrups from the grocery store and maybe experimenting with other fruits. It's kind of tough to avoid those kinds of things in Fort McMurray, when most of the food has to be packed in preservatives just to make it up here in once piece. But I'll keep trying...

Finally, pictures of my townhouse!
I've been living in Fort McMurray, Alberta for a little over three months now, but I haven't posted any pictures of the place where I'm living yet! So here are some pics that I took a few days ago when I was in the mood to clean and wanted to celebrate my efforts with a photo shoot.
For those of you who are trying to figure out the floorplan based on my pictures, it is a split-level townhouse that is basically five floors. The bottom level is the basement, which is actually the way we enter and exit the townhouse most of the time because it exits to the underground parking. I didn't take pictures of the basement because it's just a laundry room with a closet for our coats.
Up a small flight of stairs is the living area with a wood-burning fireplace (can't wait to use it this winter!) and access to the backyard patio.
Up another flight of stairs is the (ridiculously small) galley kitchen and a dining area that looks over the living room. Around the corner from that is a powder room and the actual "front door" that no one ever uses except to let air flow through the house.
(how cute is this kettle? It makes the whistling noise and everything!)
This is the lovely (*snort*) view from my kitchen window. All the townhouses face each other with a big concrete slab in the middle. The whole complex was built essentially as a work camp for Syncrude or Suncor back in the 70's. Obviously they didn't think that oil workers needed to look at anything other than industrial materials 24 hours a day.
Up another flight of stairs is the linen closet and one of my roommate's rooms which is technically the master bedroom.
The top floor houses my room, another bedroom and a full bathroom. Annnnnd since my room is oh so clean, here are some pics of where I sleep:
(I went book shopping this weekend so my shelf is a bit fuller now)
I love my duvet cover and shams. The colours are so cute and I love the embroidery.
Oh no! My poor shoes, idly waiting on the bottom of my closet for my ankle to heal so I can wear them again!! A few weeks back, I rolled my ankle in a hole in a field and tore a bunch of ligaments. The bruising and swelling is gone but I have no flexibility in this ankle now. That means I can't point my foot enough to get it into a high heel without it buckling. Hopefully this isn't a permanent thing because I would be so cross if I could never wear heels again.
One other thing I would love to share with you is this beautiful book I picked up from a used book store in Edmonton:
!!!
How awesome is that?? I love the book's cover, it's so pretty. I can't wait to read it. Most of the books on my shelf haven't been read yet because I always buy a few at a time and I buy more before the other ones are finished.
Well there you have it, my humble abode. If the weather is nice in the next couple of days I think I'm going to take a stroll around my neighbourhood and snap some photos of the pretty foresty goodness for your viewing pleasure. Hope you all enjoyed!

The Final Quiltypost!!
Huzzah! I have finally uploaded the pictures of my completed quilty! I'm so proud of it, it is so pretty! And considering that it was the first time I had ever used a sewing machine, I think I did fairly well. Unfortunately I was not able to bring it with me to Alberta but my mom is taking good care of it and will ship it to me soon. And now, without further adieu, I present to you my Alpha Phi t-shirt quilt!
TA-DAA!!
Each square on this lovely quilt is a t-shirt that I either purchased or received throughout my years in Alpha Phi Women's Fraternity at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. I am so glad that I have something to remember all the events and themes by, in a way that can be saved rather than stored away. I totally cried when I finished it.
I used the toga that I wore to every toga party during university as the trim on my quilt.
This project took much longer than I thought it would (I still blame the first sewing machine, grrr), but the results were well worth it. So there it is, ladies and gentlemen, my Alpha Phi quilt! I'd like to give a great big thanks to everyone who has read my blog and supported me through this process, you're all truely wonderful. I'm excited to always have a little piece of sisterhood with me.

And what a haitus that was!
Welcome back to my blog, ladies and gentlemen! For those of you who did not know, I moved from Hamilton, Ontario to a little place called Fort McMurray, Alberta, a few months ago. So please forgive my lack of posting lately, as it has taken quite a while to get all settled in to my new accomodations. I also did not have a computer until last week. I'm living in a rather cool townhouse that is ugly as heck on the outside but pretty hip on the inside. It's a 5-level split townhouse and I'm up on the top level. I counteract all the exercise from climbing those stairs with lots and lots of ice cream :).
Pictures are coming soon. And by soon, I mean as soon as I take pictures and upload them onto my computer. I also have pictures of the final product of my blankie and I'll get them onto this blog as soon as they are uploaded as well. For now, I just wanted to make this quick post to let you know that I am in fact alive and doing well.
Check out my new layout! For some reason, I never could get the layout working well on Blogger but I'm digging this new "template designer" thing. My blog looks a lot neater now and I'm loving the bookshelf background. One day I'm going to have a library that is full of books like that. This past weekend I went to Edmonton and bought a real old-timey looking copy of Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Super excited to read that and it looks so pretty on my bookshelf.
Take care!
Monica.

Quiltypost #6- Almost there!!
I am SO CLOSE to being finished my blankie! Which is awesome, because I am moving across the country in just ONE WEEK, so the sooner I finish my blankie, the sooner I can start packing for the move. Priorities, I has them.
Here are a couple of teaser photos. Since the last time I posted pictures, I have sewn all of the squares together and then sewn those squares onto a pink quilt backing that has batting in it (to make the blankie nice and warm). The remaining steps now are to sew the ribbons of material that I cut from my old toga onto the edges of the blankie as trim, as well as up and down the lines of the squares to hide where I obviously measured wrong and have miss-matching corners.
Casper informed me that he would in no way make it easy for me to do work on the basement floor. He sat, rolled around, and chewed on my blankie every time I laid it down to pin it.
Pagan did too, until i distracted her with a much more fun BOX to play in!
Excess backing material has been cut away to reveal the beautiful shape of the blankie!
Next step: Create ribbons of trim from my pink toga. For around the edge of the blanket, I cut 3" strips and for the inside grid, I cut 2" strips.
Tomorrow, I'll be ironing the edges of the strips under so that they make ribbons with even sides. If time permits, I'll start sewing the inner grid strips. Hopefully I'll have this done by Wednesday!
I haven't had much time to work on my Ultimate To-Do List yet, unless you count my to-do list for moving. I suppose that would be a good start and you better believe I'll be blogging about that. There actually isn't a whole lot for me to do before I leave, at least nothing that can't be done after I get there. Everything is happening so fast. I finish my Public Relations course on Thursday, my last shift at work is on Friday, and then I have Saturday and Sunday to finalize preparations and then I'm gone on Monday morning. Sayonara, Ontario! Kind of scary, but exhilarating at the same time. Maybe it's how those people who all of a sudden sell all their things and go live in the mountains feel. I'm not selling anything and I'm definitely not living in the mountains but the idea of dropping pretty much everything and moving across the country is a bit too big for me to handle right now. I will probably have a massive freakout the day that I leave.
I really shouldn't be blogging right now. I should be studying for my test tomorrow morning or, better yet, SLEEPING. Oh yea, I am getting a horrible cold and I just know that despite my best efforts, it's going to get way worse before it gets better. Okay, I'm not in a great mood right now (9 hours at work in a mall on a P.A. Day will do that to you), but I'll be much much happier once my blankie is FINISHED!!
Goodnight!!

Quiltypost #5- Birthdays are good days to get stuff done.
I'm almost done my blankie! I have sewn all the squares to the backing, so now it's just finishing touches like the trim! I'm super excited to finally be done. I hope I can find room in my suitcase to bring it to Fort Mac!
I took pictures of the progress I've made today but I won't post it until it's all completely done. I'm also way too tired.
It's my 24th birthday and I'm going to bed before 10 pm. Don't judge me.

Someday...
I think the first thing on my Ultimate To-Do list is to visit Paris. I haven't even been off the North American continent before! (Unless you count the time I was pretty far from the coast of PEI for deep-sea fishing)
As I was reading my favourite blogs on Google Reader before class, I found this wonderful photographer's work posted on Design Sponge:
Marc Olivier took about ten years to compile photographs that depict letters of the alphabet throughout the city of Paris. If I wasn't completely in love with Paris before, I am now. Check out his work, he also sells his prints. I can't wait until I have disposable income so I can snatch up a bunch of his work. I would post a couple of teaser pictures on here except he very understandably has his work copyrighted.
So someday, folks. Someday I'll make my way to Paris, and I will visit every location where these photos were taken (if I can find them!). Dream big.
Have a great day!

Excitement abound! New life project!
So I watched Julie and Julia with my mom yesterday, and at first I was depressed because the movie made me want to blog but I realized that I don't really have much to blog ABOUT. I mean yea, I'm blogging about my quilt and stuff that makes me laugh but what about AFTER I'm done my quilt?
I've also been debating whether or not to make the move to Wordpress so I could have maybe a more sophisticated coded layout. I was talking about this with the wonderful boyfriend and we actually came up with an awesome idea for a new blog! I am going to create a massive list of things to do, see and try and I am going to blog about each thing I accomplish on the list! I googled blogs with this theme and surprisingly, there isn't really much out there with this specific purpose! There are blogs that post lists, but that's really about it.
I created my blog today over on Wordpress, but it is still under construction:
The List Goes On
How cool is THAT for a name?
Now don't worry, folks. I'm not abandoning this blog just yet. I will still be blogging here while I finish my blankie and find funny stuff on the internet, but The List Goes On will be the blog just for this specific project. It will also take a long time for the blog to actually get up and running because I don't even have my ultimate to-do list compiled yet! I have a list of lists to incorporate:
-recipes to try
- movies to watch
- books to read
- musicians to listen to
- museums to visit
- destinations to visit
- games to play
- alcoholic beverages to try
- miscellaneous things like random life goals and whatnot.
If any of you have ideas of what to include on this Ultimate To-Do list, please comment and let me know!
It's now 1:30 AM and I can't feel my face. Time for bed!
