Saturday Ambitions

IF I wasn't going away for Thanksgiving Weekend - This is where I would be on Saturday:

BAKERS MARKET

The Vancouver Bakers Market is back for the second year in a row.  Running from Saturday October 2nd until December 11th, it will run every Saturday for the next 11 weeks from 11am to 3pm.  For full details go to www.bakersmarket.ca

but don't be fooled.  I'm not interested going to eat.  I'm going to "inspect".  

That's right.  I'm not naively tricking myself into eating pounds of cookies, cupcakes, pies and cakes.  No no, I'm genuinely interested to see if I can "compete" with these other amateur bakers.

Because if you didn't already know, i'm secretly aspiring to be a baker!! (details to follow)

I have a secret

I love breakfast for dinner

I am mildly psychic

My favorite part of every magazine is the personal stories.  Cheese-Ball Alert!

I love powerpoint

I read my horoscope everyday. and if my horoscope says I will have a bad day, it dramatically affects my mood.

I wish I could meditate

I am painfully insecure 

My biggest pet peeve is people who swallow loudly

I think about my dead dog Abbey everyday.  I miss her.

What are some of your secrets?

You... Only better, happier and healthier!
