Mash Up!

Today I was meant to go to an all day ringette tournament in a small town. I didn't want to go. I wasn't feeling good and the thought of being cold in a rink seemed like the worst possible idea. The last week has been so busy and I really needed to have a day to rest and settle. I felt guilty, though, for letting my team down. Do you ever do that? Over commit and then realize that you won't be yourself and won't be able to give your best to others if you don't take some time away?

Tonight was my friend's Champagne birthday party. We had avocado chocolate cupcakes, bacon-wrapped cherries, bacon chocolate chip cookies with maple glaze, veggies, fruit pizza and delights. We listened to Girl Talk and Norwegian Recycling. It was pretty fun! It's nice to see all my friends in one place. A lot of us used to work at a bookstore until it closed. We all have such different lives but it's nice to catch up.

Today I'm thankful for clean floors. It's such a delight to walk around on hard wood floors and not pick up little bits of grit on my toes! Makes kitchen dancing that much smoother... more smooth? Um...
