Yes, it's true. I have favourites.
Last year was my first year working in a school office. I was given the opportunity to "hire" some student assistants to watch the phones so that I could take a lunch break, being the only administrator in the office.
A couple of the students were hired because they needed a chance to help out the school and learn a skill, however a couple were hired because they wanted to work in the office.
One of these office assistants was my "favourite". Right away I was amazed by this student; intelligent, confident, lovely, happy. At the end of the school year I was sad to see her go off to high school. I told her she could always come back and volunteer, and that if she ever needed a reference for a job, to please use me.
She has been volunteering with a teacher in the school and continues to visit regularly.
She was in today, and I was in a meeting and missed her when she came in. I was coming out of my meeting just as she was leaving and she was writing me a lovely little message to say that she was sorry to have missed me. :) She just brightens my day, and she made me grin from ear to ear.
She is only 14 years old, but I look forward to seeing where her path takes her. I joke that I'll vote for her as Prime Minister one day. Yup, she's that good :)

Caramalized Bacon
Yummmy! My Saturday morning was a smorgasbord of wonder and deliciousness!
Food is something that often makes me happy. Nothing make me happier than new and delcious ways to serve food.
The girls and I headed out to a restaurant in Toronto called Starving Artist. I was told is was a waffle place and I kind of thought "meh", but the birthday girl really liked it so I went with the choice.
And am I ever glad I did. OMG what a fantastic meal and amazing restaurant!!!
The owner is running the little galley kitchen. He is friendly, happy and answering all of my questions about the delicious looking food coming out of the kitchen. The servers are a lot of fun and everyone is so easy-going and relaxed. Changes are easy to make. This sign makes me smile.
The Americano is properly made and tastes great...and the food...OMG...the food! I will let a picture say a thousand words (a couple of pictures).
My meal...a Monte Cristo sandwich made with French toast waffles and a salad w/ avocado. (with a piece of caramalized bacon..yes, bacon, on the side).
Cheddar and chive waffles
Delicious dessert waffles
Eggs Benny w/ avocado instead of ham
If that doesn't make me happy, I'm dead! :)
With Love
