Season’s Greetings.

My Fall 2oo9 Semester has finally wrapped up!  I had an interesting mix of marks this semester.  I got an A- in Intermediate Accounting, an A in tax accounting, and an A+ in management accounting.  I must say I am glad it’s the holiday season, I worked my butt off this semester.  Come January I am starting the CMA Accelerated program.  Oh and of course looking for a job.  Oh what fun!

Anyways, this is just a little update.  I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season and a great New Year!  Bring on 2010!

Lemon Meringue

I used the Kitchen Aid mixer to whip up some meringue, and well my meringue wasn’t all I thought it would be. Now don’t get me wrong, it was delicious, but I’m saddened at how flat it turned out.

I laugh out loud at this post. I can’t believe I am stressing over a botched pie… in less than a month I will be head over heals in accounting homework. I will be lucky to even find time to make a lemon meringue pie! I am so silly!

Have I mentioned I love lemon meringue pie! Probably my most favourite pie in the whole-wide-world. Well that and key-lime and coconut pie.

Since we are on the topic of food:

So Not Looking for a Protein Power Bar
While I was out grocery shopping today I picked up a new nutritional bar to try. Over the last few months (instead of snacking on junk food like chips and chocolate), I’ve been trying to eat nutritional bars. So far, I’ve tried the Cliff and Luna bar. And to be honest I liked the Luna bar better than the Cliff. I found the Cliff bar to be to “protein-ish”. Well you probably have tried a power bar before right? Well I really don’t find those yummy at all, so after purchasing and trying 3 kinds of the Cliff bar and finding that they taste close to a power bar, I turned to the Luna bar. Now this bar was better. It still tastes like a power bar, but surprisingly the brownie one actually tastes like a brownie! So far, my favourite of this bar is the brownie one. The nut and chocolate one isn’t bad either.

Ok so back to my original reason for the last paragraph. I picked up some Larabar’s today. I read the ingredients and this time the list was rather quite short. Like I’m talking 3 to 4 ingredients short. The other two bars I mentioned had a long paragraph of ingredients. The Larabar’s contain ingredients such as nuts, dates, and fruits. I read on a website last month that this bar got rated high as a good nutritional bar… as in, it tastes good. So I will do an update after I have tried a few.

I’m so over today…

Thoughts:
I wish it was another day.

Work:
I start full-time work tomorrow. I think it will be a nice change from school.

Books:
On another note, I’m almost finished New Moon. The rainy weather has provided quite a bit of time for me to read. Also, rain chills me, to the bone and makes me sad. I’m cold alllllll day, it really sucks! Now if only I had a Jacob. Having a werewolf friend doesn’t sound so bad right about now. Seeing as though he runs a body temperature of 109. Talk about convenient heater huh? Ok, well that cheered me up a bit, I’m so addicted to Twilight. Anyways, moving away from imagination-land, I’m torn between who Bella should be with. I am heavily leaning toward Edward, but at the same time I feel bad for Jacob.

School:
ABC’s. Well not quite: I got all my marks back quite fast. Overall, for the whole year I got one A-, four A’s, and three A+’s. I am very proud of my work this year. I studied very hard (and I’m sure my friends and family can vouch for that!) and got great results. I am content with accounting, and I am excited to get my designation.

Accountant

I am studying really hard for finals right now but I thought I would drop a few lines.

One year is already behind me and I am one year closer to being to referred to as Miss. Accountant. So exciting!!

Warmth,
K

I promise.

Ahhhhhh my life has been non-existent… which means so has my blog life.

School has been keeping me super busy – it’s been non-stop studying for close to 3 weeks now.

It’s all good, as of 5pm tomorrow my life commences once again.

b.r.b. and xoxo

Valentines Day

For the most part, I am neither here nor there when it comes to Valentines Day.  I never hated it while single and I sure wouldn’t say it is my most favorite holiday of the year now that I have been taken for over 5 years.

The best part of the day is that I get to spend it with the person I love.  The main reason why I am impartial to Valentine’s Day is because Michael and I show each other love every day (or well I like to think so).

So this year we decided not to do presents and just went for a nice Greek dinner.  We went to this tiny place near his house on 17th, called Spiro’s.  I must say, I felt as if we dined with everyone else in the restaurant because it was so tiny and so packed!  Like wall-to-wall tables!  Off the bat, we did not get very good service (in fact Michael had to actually flag down a member of staff and ask who our server was, and she had no clue either – yes very irritating!!!!), but the food was excellent.  Good portions and (after actually ordering) not long of a wait at all.  If you ever go there you must try the cheesecake – it is to DIE for!

Oh another note, we are attending Armin Van Buuren in April at Flames Central.  So I am super excited for that!

I’m sort of all over the place in this post… so please don’t mind me.  :D

Onto the next…  I have officially kicked off reading week.  So I have a week to relax, or read, or study.  I hope to relax quite a bit and try to kick this cold that has been lingering for (it seems like) forever!!

xoxo

I hope everyone had a pleasant V-Day.

Unlike Beyonce.

Ladies, I want to empower you.  The gentlemen in my life… I love you, and please don’t take any offense to this.

My mom showed me a Sun article yesterday, and at first I rolled my eyed because well it’s the Sun…  need I say more.  I was busy studying so she left it on my desk for me to read and said “you were right all along”.  I Finally got around to reading it today.  Please, please, please read this ladies!

This article is what I live my life by, it always has been.

Not one single woman needs a man to take care of them.  We can do it ourselves!

xo – All the beautiful ladies in my life, I love you.

p.s. perhaps this is why boys are intimidated by me?  Haha.

The working life…

I am working over the holidays, which I am sort of regretting now because getting up at 6am to trek into the core when it is still dark and below zero is not my cup of tea. I was pretty miserable this morning and wished I could have just stayed in bed!

With that said, I have 5 days off for the holidays starting tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it too! And no, not for the gifts, simply spending time with loved ones is my favorite part! I am looking forward to some turkey too! Michael and I are attending each others dinners, so we will probably be sick of turkey by the time the new year rolls around.  As for New Years, we are going to Narah’s New Year’s Bash.  And then, back to school…

I cannot believe one semester has passed! Roughly, only two more to go, woo hoo! This semester was somewhat easy; although, my next semester I have a full course load and two accounting classes. Oh joy!
