Best Last Day Ever!

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Today my alarm clock didn’t go off so I overslept. Then I got to the end of my street and realized I forgot my badge/keys. Then I got to the end of my street again and realized I forgot my laptop bag. But I’m not coming to work again until April, so it’s all good!

On Friday night I was told that the Tim Horton’s Hot Smoothies have 700 calories.

Last night I went to an engagement dinner for my friends Steve and Giselle. For dessert, Giselle’s sister had made cupcakes. They were in all different flavours: Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Frosting, Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Icing, Chocolate Cake with Mint Icing… And they were beautiful.
