At the park. New “real” posts soon. Feeling better! (Taken with Instagram)

We didn’t get a chance to do too much for the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival, but we did stumble across a good afternoon to be in Fed Square. Starting with free hot dogs & ending with a free screening of Jiro Dreams of Sushi we got to spend the evening chilling in bean bags wondering why we can’t find moments like these as easily back home. *Sigh*

Had a great time catching up with my family this weekend. It was only one day with lots of driving but heading to Muskoka to pick up itsnomers & then drop off her brother at camp was well worth it. Love our fam jams, especially when they take us to pretty fun places like this.

Went shopping yesterday & this was hanging in the middle of my local(-ish) mall, Eatons Centre. Happy Canada Day!!

My brother shared this beautiful gem of Engrish with me last night. 

“Really is inconceivable!”

I just love how this stainless steel soap explains itself so clearly. Tilt your head & have a laugh at the wonderful phrasing.

I saw this & I didn’t know whether to smile or cry.

“We were born in the North Pole. But my hometown is disappearing now.”

PS Owls & bunnies are born in the North Pole? hmmmm.

A few days ago I was finally able to go back & visit WDW. It’s almost been a year since I worked there & was so excited to go back. Decided to fit as much fun stuff as we could in a matter of one day. Also, two of us were celebrating Graduation & ended up with an impulse Mickey-earred grad caps. We got as many notices as we spent dollars on the caps & decided that that alone made it a worthy purchase.

So how do you celebrate Graduation & a Disney reunion? Ice-cream for Dinner!

If you haven’t gone to grab the “Kitchen Sink” of ice-cream at Beaches & Cream on the Disney Boardwalk, put it on your bucket list. Six scoops of ice-cream, a whole can of whipped cream, brownies, angel food cake, chocolate bars, Oreos, bananas, & a can of cherries! (The cherries were in a bowl themselves since I was the only one that wanted them. I think I ate twenty maraschino cherries that day…)

It was delicious & amazing! The plate of fries we grabbed were a good salty mix to the sink too. However, we ate a WHOLE lotta ice-cream & treats for three people. As you can see, we felt a little wonky afterwards.

Spent the day walking along Satellite Beach in Melbourne FL. Minutes after these pictures were taken, a wave came well above my knees with no warning. My butt was soaked! I almost lost my bag to a wave as well. Pretty strong ocean, but very fun the walk along.

Went to a Flea Market in/around Melbourne, FL today. Found a place for food & had two options. Deep fried Oreos or frog legs.

Guess which one we decided to eat? Seriously delicious & so worth the trip. I can see myself craving these again in a little while. The cookie gets cooked so well it becomes soft & gooey just like the icing. So so yummy.

PS Happy Easter Everyone!

Update: Somehow my older photos disappeared from tumblr. Here’s a new pic instead!

Home. Jack Darling Park/Rattray Marsh. Spring 2011. 

Can someone please explain to me what this means? It’s not red anymore, so it can’t mean stop. Come on Toronto, why don’t we paint a clearer picture?

Wings Night! Bring on the Black Mamba dipping sauce!

Hanging out with my GH school gang. Last time me & Spooner were here we took an epic pic closely resembling King Kong & Ann Darrow. This time it was a little more pleasant. Lifeguard meets King Kong. (I was prepared!)

I wish I remembered what this book was called. Definitely made me smile. Funny part is Bowie never helped Sara escape. Oh well. Guess they got the answer wrong either way.

Godzilla is attacking at IKEA! 

Yup. This fabric is totally at IKEA & I couldn’t help but document it.
