In other culinary adventures...

I made the foolish mistake to try my hand at making homemade perogies this weekend. (Yes, my posts have recently been about food, but that's all I've really been up to!)

Not foolish taste-wise because they turned out to be really great. Just foolish in not really comprehending just how long of a process it is!

Anyway, just wanted to share as I am unabashedly proud.

In other news, Lou and I are going to a preview screening of the film Killing Bono tonight complete with Q&A with star Ben Barnes and the film's director. So that's something cool that's unrelated to cooking...

Martha Stewart's got nothing on me!

Random post.. but I've spent most of my day doing a bit of baking.

And just felt the need to share the fruits of my labour. I made pizza buns as well as cinnamon buns. Huge sense of pride? Yes. Kinda nerdy? Absolutely.

This is for Auntie Christine. Who I'm sure would appreciate this.

Long time no post. I doubt anyone even reads this anymore!

Thought I'd give a bit of an update, despite not having really done much since I've been back from Christmas.

Work is going really well and busy as ever. I've started working on a new client portfolio and am now handling all of Disney's accounts. Keeps me on my toes because there's so many different products within the Disney corporation. And I'm not complaining, you all know my feelings on Disney! I'll be busy right up until I leave as I've just seen the May workloads, and they're not small!

I've been to Wales again - though this was at the beginning of February. It was a belated birthday celebration with some of my girlfriends. It was a nice weekend away with lots of fun times.

Apart from that, I really haven't been up to much!

I'll be coming back to Canada with my family at the beginning of June. I've been spending most of my free time researching what I'll be doing upon my return home. I'm looking to move to Toronto, so that will be a new, exciting adventure for me. It will be very sad to leave London though I've got some time to come to terms with it....

I leave you with a photo because this post would be rather boring without it!

Love you all x

And that's the way the cookie crumbles

Last night, my string of Christmas parties came to an end. We had our company party and it was amazing! The venue was so cool - set up much like a ski lodge. Food was amazing. Great music. And amazing company.

All in all, it was a good way to close out the media Christmas season.

Now I get to start the real party - my trip home!! I can't wait to leave tomorrow - this time tomorrow, my flight will have been in the air for half an hour!!

See you all very very soon. x

I Heard the Bells (whiskey) on Christmas Day

Oh Broadcast. How I have a love-hate relationship with the parties we put on.

I had my 2nd Christmas party on Tuesday - the infamous Broadcast one. It was a very fun night but it got a bit too silly, mostly in part due to shots.

I'll leave you with a few photos. I've got my 3rd and final Christmas party tonight, the Carat company party. Going to take it easy. But on the bright side, I don't have to be at work until noon tomorrow. AND THEN, only ONE sleep until I come home! I'm beyond excited but I still don't think that I've processed the fact that I'm coming home. Still have to pack.... so much procrastination.

Love you and miss you all, and can not WAIT to see you.

Around the World in 6 hours

We're full on into Christmas party season now. I don't know where the time has gone! Firstly, can't believe it's already December. Secondly, can't believe we're almost half way through December. Work has been a whirlwind. Early closedowns, lots of campaigns... just trying to keep my head screwed on.

On Wednesday, I had my first Christmas party of the season. It was our floor party. Lou organised the whole thing. The theme was Around the World and was a costume party. We all dressed up as different citizens of the world. I chose to go as Cleopatra. It was an awesome evening and loads of fun!

Here is a photo of me and the rest of my team. As you can see, everyone put in a lot of effort!

I'm coming home in 8 days! This is what's keeping me going. Next week is going to FLY by. It's very busy, work wise and socially. Tuesday is the big Broadcast Christmas party. Wednesday I have a lunch with the J&J team and one of the contractors. Thursday is the Carat party. Friday is radio drinks. And then Saturday, I leave!

The best part of Friday next week is I get to sleep in! With the floor party, everyone was allowed to come in at noon the next day - apart from TV, mostly because we have early closedowns to deal with. So to be fair, we get to come in late next week. Friday will go by so fast!

I can not wait to come home for a White Christmas!

Love you all x

Alrighty homies, not much to report.

I've been busy doing normal things - work, social outings, etc.

Work has been really good - I've been exceedingly busy but handling it all very well. I feel like I'm starting to get a real handle on it so that makes me happy.

I am, however, really looking forward to Christmas!! It's less than a month until I'll be flying home. 27 days in fact. I can't wait to do some Christmas baking, have my Mom's Christmas dinner and see all of my friends and family. It's going to be amazing.

I think missing Christmas last year truly made me appreciate it. Not that I've never appreciated Christmas, but when you miss out on it - you really realise how important and special it is.

It'll be nice to have Christmas in the new house - I'm sure Mom is happy that I'll be there for the 1st one!

The next few weeks are going to fly by! I've got at least one work related social outing a week until I leave. My Outlook calendar has been filled with lunches and Christmas parties. They're all going to be a lot of fun and will surely only make the time go by faster. This week I have a curry lunch with Sky TV and then SmartClip (tv online) will be taking us out for cocktail making lessons.

Anywho, love you and miss you all. See you all very soon! x
