"It's been one week"

A few snippets from my week...

• When planning a 'Mad Scientists Laboratory' themed house warming, it is entirely possible to purchase dry ice over the counter. Provided, that you prove to not be a bomb maker, you can walk straight on out of the shop with it. However, one does question whether all the safety/worry precautions are worth it for a little spooky fog.

• It is also very possible to survive a fourteen hour day at uni, so long as you down a large coffee at the seven hour mark. But, if you haven't had a coffee in say, 8 weeks, you probably will get the extreme jitters. Life's a trade-off.

• I felt quite old on seeing my god-daughter sport the same alfalfa-styled "pony-tail", that I once did when I were a wee one. 

• When I was sick, naturally I was off hot drinks which had milk in them. My friend Erica, got me on to hot blackcurrant. Ever since then, I've been all over it. It is now my crack.  

• It is uni crunch time, three assignments and one final in-class test in the next two and a half weeks. I am loving it! 

• I am on the hunt for a tried and trusted cinnabon or cini-wheel recipe. If you have one, please holla at me!

•  I found out this week, that next week I will be receiving a gift. A fantastical gift at that. No, Brad is not planning on a game/guilt gift combo. A very good friend of mine, has been working on a piece of art for me, it is complete and with the framer. I can't wait to have it on my wall, and to show you all. So lucky!

• This week Cordon bleu beef schnitzel has taken the spot of new favourite meal in our household. We often serve it with steamed broccoli and carrots and roasted herb potatoes. It is the business.
