between two cups of coffee

Lately, I've been on a little bit of a caffeine fast (and I feel like admitting that on a blog whose title relates around coffee is a bit blasphemous!). In the past week I ended up having two cups - one in a moment of weakness, and one yesterday in a moment of celebration - and they felt like bookends to some amazing days in my life.

Bookend #1 - A Moment of Weakness
in the form of a Second Cup Chillatte

This past Wednesday I realized I've become something of a hermit who hadn't left the house in almost three days. So I took a journey to the mall - a little bit of a fresh air on the walk, and then letting myself get distracted by a building full of people and clothes. I was feeling nauseous and on edge - in a matter of days I'd be finding out if I got into teachers college, and I was wondering if I was jinxing myself by not really preparing any back-up plans in case I didn't get in.

Before I left the mall, I stopped by Second Cup. I was the only one in line and decided to order something cold - a Chillatte. Even though her co-worker was right next to her, the barista still wrote my order on the cup. When I got my order, I was surprised to see the cup read Chill. And for some reason, that word worked. I realized I can't control all the outcomes so, until I find out the results, I should just chill.

The Amazing Days in Between

Thursday was a day full of seeing The Boy, catching up with friends we haven't seen in a while, indulging in a massive burger + pint deal at a restaurant we've never tried before, and then accidentally getting a pitcher of sangria when I only wanted a glass (though the pitcher was awesome). That was followed by dancing in the car, and then picking out delicious candy from Bulk Barn to munch on. It helped take my mind off of things, and almost felt like a pre-celebration now that I look back on it.


Friday is going to be forever dubbed as THE DAY - not because it was April Fools Day (and it seems like a really cruel joke to give out offers of admission on April Fools) but because:

I GOT INTO TEACHERS COLLEGE!

I spent the wee hours of the morning hovering over a computer, just waiting - and I got into all three that I was waiting for results from. Oh, happy days! To finally be awarded the chance to become what I've always wanted to be ... ahh, made me happy that I decided to chill.

Saturday was full of more catching up with friends by helping out on a short film set and being a clapper which was a ton of fun, then eating yummy celebratory burgers with The Boy (my idea of healthy eating went out the window this weekend).

Bookend #2 - A Moment of Celebration
in the form of a Cinnamon Dolce Latte

And then Sunday was spent in Starbucks, celebrating mine and my friend's good news over a cup of cinnamon dolce latte and a deeeelicious red velvet whoopie. Followed by watching adorable videos, like a baby being scared of his mom blowing her nose. You must watch it.

I'm starting to feel like it's worth it to take little coffee breaks, because amazing things can happen in between two cups of coffee. /cheesy blog is cheesy

And a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who joined in on the Postcard Project! I'm so excited for everyone to swap and hopefully share on their blogs once they get it. And since I was so late in sending everyone their postcard partners, I'll send out reminders this Friday to anyone who hasn't sent theirs yet!

Now, I have to ask:
How was your weekend?
Did anything make it amazing? :)
