Summer Scrapbook Saturday #2

This week in summary: sleeping. A lot. I am hesitant to admit that I'm the kind of person who doesn't get up unless they have to. I have finally caught up on all my emails, and that's important but makes no significant dent in the universe. We're cool with it. I did end up getting out a few times, but I forgot to take pictures of the actual events! I wanted to start this as an incentive to start recording my life a little more. I'll keep working at it guys!

1. I had to rearrange this collage to make the space bigger for this picture. Anyone who knows me at all know that #grilledcheesefriday is my thing. I have people Snapchatting me or texting me when they make grilled cheese. And this week, I made the BEST grilled cheese so far. It's pizza grilled cheese. I adapted a recipe from here and I'm drooling right now just thinking about it. I also hung out with a friend who came to town for the weekend, but I forgot to take a picture.
2. Remember last week when I said I had a friend who always has juice? This is it. Plus, we always drink out of jars there. This was my Sunday, and it was just so relaxing.
3. Yes, this picture is horrifying. Monday was a holiday in Canada, and my friend had a holiday/birthday barbeque. She also has a Ronald MacDonald head in her basement. I mean, that's a party right there.
4. Wednesday was chill. I recently got a new notebook for blogging, and I spent the day organizing some notes for future blog posts. When my sister came home, we had a little crackers and cheese snack and kept working together.
5. Tuesday was spent editing my book review. I also went to go see Pitch Perfect 2 with Marlee (again, forgot the picture)! I'll be honest, I did not like it as much as the first one. I found myself kind of disappointed.
6. I have no explanation for this. My sister and I goofed off and took a ton of pictures Sunday night. This is our essence.
7. On Thursday, Brianne and I made homemade Skor bars from this recipe. Needless to say, there are none left at this point. This is a very easy snack to make. It takes longer to heat the oven than it does to make the actual snack!
8. This is my favourite picture of the week. On Saturday, a couple friends came over for my dad's homemade pizza (the best anyone has ever had). It was a great night with some good people. I also went downtown for some drinks on a patio with Sarah. We had a great night, and it was a beautiful evening to be sitting outside.

Next week, I'm starting work, so I'll have a few more things to do. And I really want to put a bigger effort into hanging out with my friends. Have a great week!

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an incredible book. It’s something that really allows readers to understand ho
