Quick Update on Recent Adventures

Oh hey there! I'm posting twice in one year! Golly!
Just a quick update on recent happenings:

1) My car broke down recently. Yep, it just stopped working whilst I was driving it. Thankfully it stopped right outside of a client's house and the dad was able to fix it for me. That was an adventure and a half involving a trip to Canadian Tire and time spent learning how to replace part of a battery cable. Good times.

2) Took in the adventure that is the annual Sunday School Picnic this past weekend. My sister and I spent approximately 1.5 hours filling water balloons on Saturday night...and then spent approximately 2 minutes watching them all burst as they were thrown wildly at unsuspecting victims on Sunday afternoon. Please see photo below of balloon-filling adventures.

3) Attempted to make eggplant parmesan with my roommate (she did most of the work...). Don't think I really like the taste of eggplant. See photo of completed product below.

4) Am currently very much enjoying a bowl of strawberry rhubarb crisp made with rhubarb from the market, topped with homemade custard...yummo!

5) Took in perhaps the grandest adventure of late, last weekend when I went to watch my friend compete in a kickboxing tournament. I went into this adventure expecting the intensity of a highschool volleyball tournament. Boy was I wrong! Yikes. These people are fierce. Intense. Scary. Ripped. And any other word that comes to mind when you think of people beating up other people. My friend was really awesome! She has all the fancy gear, the gloves, the robe, the shorts...the skills. Yep, it was really fun. Complete with screaming announcers, pep talks from coaches between rounds, medals, crazed fans, the whole nine yards. So much fun!

6) Took a break from all that intensity on Saturday night by sitting in the park all afternoon Sunday, reading a great book and soaking in the rare bit of sunshine and warmth!

That's all from here for now.
