leftovers

I love ikea! in fact, I just applied there (no, seriously)

so while I was there I just had to grab these cookie cutters. they were just too cute to not to!

and then I made some delicious cookies out of the leftover dough from christmas (hey! it's not groce. it was frozen)

next time I need to frost them too. I know they'll look just adorable with little frost faces and furs

the baked ones



(I'm sorry that every post lately has been about food. but what can I say. a girl gotta eat!)

never again



Happy Birthday Aralia







I made this. but listen. don't try it yourself. cutting cardboard sucks

this is why easter is my favourite holiday

real eggs filled with almond-hazelnutnugat.

om nom nom

my nap bud

oh good gully ain't she just so flipping cute!

I have this violet faux fur rug on my couch (because I can totally pull that off) and Darling likes to bury herself in it while I study (or ignore my books and watch tv. just kidding! burn the books and watch tv...)

talking about studying, does anyone have any good brain food suggestions?
I've been 'brain loading' with blueberry soup and avocados for the last couple of weeks, but it's kind of getting old... plus the child in me is not so entertained by the purple mouth anymore.

so tips are very welcome.

and happy first day of spring! oh I can't tell you how happy I am about the increasing amounts of light. makes me all jolly inside (:



the dog days are over

meaning that by tomorrow this time I'll never have to open an english book again in my life
(and that I have been watching glee non stop for the last three hours. purely to refresh my fluency in english, of course)

but mainly because of the whole test thing. because it's a big deal. huge to be exact
I mean it. huuugge

because here in Finland we have what we call ylioppilaskoe. it translates to something like 'over studies exam' ... maybe don't go ask anyone else about that. or they will tell you I'm a fool. (dang it. if I can not translate that how do I think I will pass tomorrows torture????)

so this is it. after taking english since third grade I will now get tested about everything I have ever learned in a big, final, crueling six hours lasting test.


these are my exam food. soda, smoothies and grapes. all label free. yes, our exam board is extremely anal.



yes. 

six hours

maaadddd

I'm a wreck already

but then it's over.

:)


well, for english that is.

next week, geography.

sigh

have you ever seen a racist?



the many faces of a racist



well then today is your lucky day!

after school I went to the fabric store

and the lady working there cut my piece all crooked



so I asked if she would do it again

and then she asked if I was picking on her because she was Estonian

.....

mmyes. yes I am. Because I'm racist like that.

(lady, can you see me???)



quick! kill! destroy!

was pretty much how I reacted yesterday when a VIRUS HIT MY COMPUTER
I was seriously freaking out. oh the terror.

but then this morning I opened it again, and it was gone!
A Christmas miracle folks, a Christmas miracle.

also, I need spring break to come back (actually we call it a winter break. but same thing) school is very lame at the moment. just kidding! it always is...

anywho, why I really want a break from school again is so I can go see this pretty lady

my moma. ain't she just gorgeous! (check out those eyes! fierce!)

well I miss her. boo for living far away!

also, we went trifting over the break, and this is what I discovered

o how I coveted it!
hats like these need to become stylish
