things i have learned recently

• nest shopping is FUN (although i suspect it will get stressful when decisions must be made)
• when i don't run, i really miss it (and it's only been 5 days)
• dairy queen blizzards continue to rot my insides (that was just a confirmation)
• eharmonising is FUN
• if you back into a parking stall at the calgary transit stations, the park plus ticketing system can't get you
• my sister gave me a day at the spa for my birthday and i had forgotten until i tidied my room and found the card, she's the best!
• all my years of defending canada as not being as cold as people assume it is was all for naught as it is bloody cold and i am sick of having to brings scarves with me to cut the chill
• i didn't love the book Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones, i felt it was rather sad and i am not sure if that was my own mood reflecting on the story or the story reflecting on my mood
• opi's nail envy really works. pricey, but effective at strengthening your nails and preventing them from cracking or breaking
