Michigan Left

Hello!

Last night, the girls and I checked out Arkells and The Darcys at Petit Campus. The room was full but we still had enough room to dance! This was our third time seeing Arkells and they were better than ever. We only caught a few songs from The Darcys, but what we heard sounded excellent. Check out some songs from Arkells and The Darcys below:

Michigan Left - Arkells:


Don't Bleed Me - The Darcys:


They surprised us with this song as part of their encore:


Have a great week!

A Whole New World

Hello!

I've been quite the busy lady since my last blog post. I went to Florida for a week and spent 4 days in Disney World. It was SO MUCH FUN. I haven't been to Disney since I was a kid and I didn't really remember much of it so it's like everything was brand new. Pretty cool. We spent the first four days doing absolutely nothing but relax and swim.

The ocean water was bloody freezing but we figured we went all the way to Florida, we were GOING IN THAT WATER!  Then we ran back to the condo where there was a heated pool and a hot-tub.  Much better.

When we were in Disney we managed to do all 4 parks in 4 days.  It was madness and by the end I wanted to cut off my own feet but it was so worth it.  We went at the best time too. There were no lines for ANYTHING so it was sweet.

   

Since then I've come home to cold, snowy winter in Montreal.  It's definitely been a tough transition from shorts and the beach but at least we are almost in February! 

Have a great week :)

Song to the Siren

So I missed my last blog and had to face the awful picture my awesome bandmates posted...

I don't have anything exciting this week, so here are a bunch of songs I rediscovered listening to a mix CD I found in my car.


Fun fact, that song was written by this guy's dad:




Have a great week!

Mamma Mia

Hey!

Hope you're all having a great weekend and keeping warm! Despite the icy Montreal roads, my mom and I ventured downtown yesterday to watch the musical "Mamma Mia" at Place des Arts. In case you aren't familiar with the musical, it tells the story of a girl in her twenties trying to find out who her father is. She reads her mother's diary looking for answers and narrows the search down to three men - all of whom she invites to her wedding. I won't say any more for fear of spoiling the story!

The best part of the musical? The fact that all the songs featured in it are ABBA SONGS! Who doesn't like a little "Dancing Queen" and "Take a Chance on Me" from time to time? I forgot how much I enjoyed ABBA until hearing the songs live :) Here are some songs featured in the musical that'll hopefully get you dancing!

Dancing Queen:


SOS:


Here's a song I wish they would have incorporated into the musical:

  

Anyway, if you have a chance to catch the show, I would recommend it! Have a great week!

The Good Ship Lollipop

The holiday week has come to an end and I can't breathe.  It's wonderful.  It was a week full of eating, drinking, sleeping, seeing friends and family and baking goodies for all events and people who would take them.

Here are some things that I am especially proud of this year:

Candy Cane Cheesecake                                  Red Velvet Balls covered in White Chocolate

               

Oreo Chocolate Balls                                    
                    

 My cousin brought a giant cannoli to dinner!        My Christmas "Candy Cane" Nails

Finally, it is the start of a brand new year, and while I'm not one to make crazy resolutions, my goal for this year is to actually use all the amazing cookbooks I have (I tend to get lazy and use google, make a recipe and then it disappears forever).  I've started writing some of my own recipes and transposing recipes that I've made onto little cue cards for my own little collection of my favourite recipes.

Any crazy resolutions?

Have a great week :)
