Experienced a right place, wrong time situation. If given the choice between Starbucks and Tims I always go for the Tims. More for my buck.
So today I decided I was going to try the Breakfast B.E.L.T. combo. Not only would I get a roll-up-the-rim medium cup (of H.C.), but I would also have a delicious twelve grain bagel to eat half of at the time (and the rest for lunch), but I would also have a trail mix cookie to eat immediately before my exam (so my stomach won't grumble an hour in - my greatest exam writing fear).
But... my H.C. did not come in a roll-up-the-rim mug. Why? Because the last one had been handed out before me.
Right place. Wrong time.
Also experienced a right place, right time situation. Woke up (from my regular Saturday afternoon nap) just in time to wash out my tie dye shirt - MY FIRST EVERY TIEDYE SHIRT. Made it at school on Friday under a tent being attacked by hail for a fundraiser for St. Vincent de Paul. I did the traditional cinnamon bun style, yet managed to create a spiral pattern. Awesome.
I think this one's going to become some sort of t-shirt dress.
I figured since I was washing out my tyedye shirt in the tub, I may as well handwash my handwash only clothes. I love Woolite. Definitely worth the extra money. Hoping they'll come out with green initiatives.
But handwashing is quite the process:
1) Fill tub with cold cold water and 1/2 cup of Woolite liquid.
2) Soak clothes individually for 3 minutes.
3) -go and check your email and send emails in between
4) Gently squueze out suds
5) Roll item in towel to remove excess water
6) Lay flat to dry (or hand from your bathtub like I do)
The first personal recipe I am going to share with you is my cantaloupe smoothie.
Light. Refreshing. So good. So good that I made one for Becca and Rob too.
1) Fill the bottom of your mini-blender with as many frozen cantaloupe cubes as you like. About 6-8 is good.
2) Add water until about 1/3 of the cantaloupe cubes are immersed
3) Add 2% vanilla yogurt (Island Farms to be exact) until just above the cantaloupe cubes
4) Blend!
5) Enjoy!
Finally today, a sunny day with a temperature to parallel it. It wasn't as cold as the last days have been! So it was time to take my picture for the Blush contest. Basically, until April 15th, Blush, one of my favourite downtown Guelph boutiques is taking entries for their contest. Blush ladies can coordinate Blush purchases and post their pic on the Blush website to win gift certificates to- of course- Blush! Just entered mine, and it should be on their website soon.

Did my best to co-ordinate what I had here with me in B.C.
But, could I actually pull this outfit off in public?
Very spontaneous attendance at a UVic concert tonight. Choir and Orchestra, Janos Sandor's (conductor) farewell concert after 15 years of conducting at UVic.
Turned out to be the concert my fellow ushers have been talking about recently.
Also turned out to be a great performance. The pieces were selections of the best operas for choir and orchestra.
The best musical performances, when I am sitting in the audience and not on stage myself, always leave me questioning the "What Ifs?"
What if I had actually continued pursuing music and wholewheartedly dropped the sciences and rowing to put the necessary time in to be as talented and skilled?
What if I was still singing in Symphonic Choirs?
What if I had the time to just keep playing?
What if I had not gone to tonight's performance. I would have missed out.
