Baking and Movies

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was one great day! I met up with a friend and we made some delicious paella and we made a honey coconut cake which was really yummy! While eating, we watched BBC's Emma <3 <3 soo good :) I think it's placed first, next to Pride and Prejudice now. :) Jane Austen is good :D Which is a good solid few hours of Saturday. Next I went to pick up my little brother from home and we went to my aunt's farm for dinner and more movies :) We ate pizza and we watched The Forbidden Kingdom and A Knight's Tale. A Knight's Tale I have to admit was pretty funny ^^ So today I woke up, (surprise, surprise!)  and I baked a chocolate peppermint cake which I couldn't resist and is now in the fridge setting. By it had set in that I still had some homework to finish...and eekkk went my vocal chords... So so far my weekend has been pretty fantastic!!
At the moment it is November 27 and I am very surprised that we have only had 2 small sprinklings of snow, like icing on a cake so far! It's almost December and I am wanting some snow now!! It's about time, I do want a white Christmas, not a brown one! I hope you all had a good weekend too :)

Eclairs and some snow :)

These are some photos from Iqaluit!!

So it looks like I may be traveling a bit before my Japan trip!! Super excited, but it'll still be after this year is finished. I may be visiting relatives in New Zealand and Australia and England... :D Only 23 more days until Christmas break! A little stressful but mostly exciting..! I've been craving some eclairs, but because it's been so cold (-18 today...brrr..) I haven't been able to go. Dad right now is in Iqaluit, and it's warmer there than here!! (Calgary) how unfair is that!! I wanted to go, but he was gone for an entire week and I couldn't miss that much school. I want to go and see the Northern Lights and go do some dog sledding and tourism stuff up there...oh well maybe next time! He sent some photos to me and it's soo pretttyy!! He stayed in Cape Dorset and Halls beach...very pretty! Although, I am also very excited that ski season is almost here! Time to go to the mountain and shed some powder!! :D We've gotten a little ground covering here at the moment, and it's really cold, the roads aren't too icy though so that's good :) However I do think a little more snow would be nice to make up for how cold it is, there is no point in having cold weather without the snow. I'll try to update again soon :)

Oh yess, here's a picture of just a few cranes :)
