live in colour




I have this new obsession with avocados. I blame the grocery store for putting them on sale. Somehow in my mind I have classified them as a breakfast food and every morning this week I have had half an everything bagel with plain cream cheese and avocado. It is delicious. I suggest you try it. Although according to my friends and family I eat strange food combinations regularly so maybe this only sounds appealing to me? Oh well, more avocado bagels for me then.

I have a job interview at Subway today. I'm not getting a lot of hours at my current job and with the summer coming up I am going to have more time to work and rake in the cold, hard cash so I want something that will offer me more time to work. I don't think I'll get it because I might subconsciously sabotage the interview due to the face that 1) I HATE working in the food industry, 2) It's the Subway in the mall and I don't like the mall and the preteens who hang out there 3) Some days I can't do the whole "customer service" routine. I'm moody and apparently you can't get an attitude with paying customers. BUT, I do love Subway and I heard if you work there you get a free 6 inch sub everyday and I mean a free veggie sub everyday? Kait like.

I don't know if it's the spring fever in the air or what but I am feeling annoyingly optimistic lately. It's a nice change. I want to go walking in the park, drink ice cold lemonade, ride my bicycle on a breezy day, read a book in the shade, listen to Carole King in the sunshine, wear out my library card and watch Gilmore Girls everyday. Life and seasons change and for once it doesn't scare me.

I am feeling very Food Network lately and my goal is to cook a great meal once a week. This week I did vegetarian chili and it was SO good. Even my family who are serious carnivores loved it. I've had it probably everyday this week for lunch because I didn't expect the recipe to make such a big batch. At least it was a big batch of deliciousness. I'm thinking about starting a recipe/food blog. If I do I would definitely call on you guys to be contributors : )

I officially want to say goodbye to winter. I love thee. You were especially good to me this year with freak snow storms and especially crisp, cold air. Until next season dear friend.

My new header is a photo I took for an ad for Twinings tea in my communication design class. I'm doing a print ad for magazines and I'm still fine tuning my tag line and what fonts I want to use. My teacher really liked it and she talked to me about what career I wanted to go into and I told her graphic design. She thinks I should pursue advertising design because I have an "eye" for it. I'd never considered going into advertising but I do love this class and the whole science behind advertising is really interesting. Although at the same time I hate advertising at times for what it does to society but some companies I really respect for their ads like Dove, Mac, and Starbucks. Anyways just something I've been thinking about and probably just bored you with.

I want to know:
Will you miss winter or am I the only one who likes the cold?
Will you try my avocado bagel idea or did you gag a little reading about it?
Do you mind my habit of random questioning?

You know I think you are the coolest kids in town : )

Oh, Kait! I just love when I come home to new blog posts of yours.

I do love winter, AND the cold, but I'm ready for sunshine. Playing n00bie amateur/paid photographer is less fun in the cold. And I will try it! And no, idon't mind it. I think you're cool.

Advertising. It always made me nervous.

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE THE HEADER----wonderful. :)
i heart winter so much, its much more interesting. its silly but sometimes i hate the heat and sun. winter nights are much more fun.
hmm the bagel sounded random, but random is always good! plus odd food choices make the world go round! :)
I LOVE QUESTIONS.
and you and your blog!
LOVE.

Love the header.
My friend works at subway, she gets a free 6-inch eveerytime you work. Pretty cool deal?

soulmeetsbody said...

to answer your two questions:

I like the cold because I can wear my sweet zip up hoodies all the time...
and it can be normal. I like to wear them in the summer too, but they're hot and its weird. you know?

and also the weather here (in KAN-ED-HAH) is so random sometimes.
I won't miss driving on ice /snow and being afraid of sliding into a deep ditch.

I'm curious about the avocado bagel thing, so do you eat the avocado separately? or do you like mash it on the bagel?

I eat bagels every morning with herb & garlic cream cheese. THE BEST. sometimes on top of a cheesy bagel, which is just like cheese overdose?

ah well

wow, we are on the same wavelength. I've been obsessed with food network, and i recently started a hodgepodge blog involving food.
and i love love love avocados. but they are oh so hard to find for me because i've picky about how they have to feel and their texture and etc etc.

idea: avocado on pizza. that's pretty much how i ate up the last batch we had. deeelicious.

natalie said...

I love the new header too :D

I've never really had avocados before, but I shall definitely try that combination! And yeah, I don't know if I'd want to work in the food industry either, but free subs are pretty tempting... As is vegetarian chili! A food blog would definitely be awesome.

I will and won't miss winter. There are things about it I love and things about it I hate I guess!

I think I'm quite looking forward to summer. I've literally had enough of the winter, and want to wear all the pretty dresses that I've stocked up on.

Good luck on the job interview!!

asunlitday said...

I'm also a fan of odd food combinations, and I think your avaocado everything bagel sounds delicious! I just might have to try it out.

Thank you for giving a name to something that I've always been curious about; advertising design. I'm definatley going to look into that! (:

Hmmm. I will slightly miss winter, but not really. I like for for December and New Years, and then it can just leave haha.
