Let the Games Begin

It's about 7 days into exam period now and I am experiencing the usual symptoms of head ache and stomach ache that accompany the added stress to my life.

Yet somehow, these terrible days have brought back the fitness guru in me. I have made a fitness comeback. I have ran all the days of the week, and managed to lift weights of the weight you would have expected of me in my goodlife tonka truck days of last summer.
I attribute this success to the team player attitude of my housemate who remembered and took me up on our tye dye run.
Be seen. Be heard. That's how we did.

After this public tye dye display, I am now about one step away from becoming a "granola." If you're not familiar with this label, it's ok. I wasn't until reading my marketing textbook. Granola: an individual who is always finding ways to take care of the earth and their fellow citizens. Also likened to the hippie type.

Having finally learned how to cook and bake has added great quality to my life, in that I have another way to find stress relief during these terrible days.
I even invented something:

I shall call it "Katrina's Sweet Salsa Bread:"
1) Preheat oven to 220 degrees
2) Cut crusty bread (that you purchased at Thrifty's Dollar Days for $1) into as many diagonal pieces as you like
3) Spread margarine and then sprinkle quite liberally with garlic salt
4) Place in oven and complete a relatively small and simple task (like loading laundry)
5) Remove bread from oven and place fresh avocado (organic if you can) slices
6) Spoon (also organic) mango salsa over avocado slices
7) Share with your awesome housemates (but keep the best pieces to yourself of course)

I thought I loved the Victoria airport with all its scenic windows, but I think I now love Vancouver airport more for its free wifi - If not for YVR, I could not blog while transferring flights.

This is my first commute by air within the province.
Location:Sorrento (near Kamloops), B.C.
Temperature: 26 degrees.
Purpose: D&P Regional Meeting (and that's all the details I can share in confidence)
The timing of this could not have been any more perfect being the middle of exams and all - but I am truly blessed to have these life experiences.

I'm a little embarrased, as I am wearing a mint lululemon wrap. It matches too well with my mint City of Guelph tote. Oops! At least my D&P friend will spot me easily in Kamloops.

XOXO Perhaps I'll buy meself a postcard.
