it's days like these,

when i'm wearing my hair in pigtail buns, capri pants, a sweater, and slippers (to work, no less) that i can kinda understand why my mom wants to nominate me for tlc's what not to wear...

lame defensive excuses include, "but it's so easy," "they're comfy," and the all-time winner: "who cares?"

i'm so classy.

weekend retreat

here are some pics from our bible study retreat at the sister servants of mary immaculate retreat centre in ancaster. we stayed in a school (nun school?) that may (may not) have been haunted... either way, icons of Jesus, saints, mary, angels haunted every nook, cranny and wall space, which made for frightening trips down the long dark hallway to the bathroom...

we discovered our spiritual gifts and discussed way to apply them, played games (mad gab and headbanz were a huge hit!) went hiking, made cards, snacked, laughed a lot and slept little!

it was such a beautiful weekend!
