after the preschool science fair...

teacher: yesterday, when the winners were announced and your group did not win, what did you feel?

student: happy.

teacher: really? you're happy even if you did not win?

student: yes, teacher.

teacher: why?

this is exactly what she answered...

student: because it's not about winning, it's about doing your best.

(this girl is only 5 years old and used to have issues with her being overly competitive.)

yumMagnum!

this thick bar of silky vanilla ice cream on a stick,
embraced with pleasantly delicate and crispy
Belgian milk chocolate coating,
made me so up and about til 3 am yesterday
while i was working on my children's portfolios.
got the classic first.
will try almond and truffle later.
yum!
