Jim's Cafe - Wednesday 19th April

[Innocent Forever]

Hey all,
How was your weekend? What worked out well, what didn't and how did you deal with it?
I was sitting outside the cafe, wondering where Tuesday's cafe was, I thought I'd just join when it's really Wednesday (the AM counts as a new day, right?) but, seems like there was some renovating going on over the Easter weekend and it was closed. I've nicked @Freya 's key again (shhh, don't tell) and returned it immediately. The heating is on and I'm bringing mint ice cream. Whenever anyone else gets here (once someone decides it's actually Wednesday perhaps) they can get some food. Everyone should bring one decoration, and one food/drink.
@cgh0991 will play us one of his new presentations
@Rockclimbinggirl will prepare a play with @Acy
@Petal and @nico_justnico will create poems
@brknsilence , @Fell Mor @dtc and @Jonathan R. will sing a song each
@Acanthi @walkerbait95 @JacsMom and everyone else will see to tagging a lot of people to come and say hi.

The challenge for today is, hmm, to share something challenging that you did (whether or not you were successful).

 

[Jonathan R.]

I stood up to my boss on a matter of practical importance. She disagreed and said no.

 

[dtc]

It's Wednesday in my part of the world, biggest challenge today was trying to think of what to write in asnwer to your challeng, and yes I failed!

So glad there are no pictures of delectable foods posted here yet. Not good for a fatty who needs to diet.
I hope the fact that I am having a hard time coming up with something challenging doesn't mean I never did anything challenging. I will keep pondering.....I will say that I learned how to make fully jointed teddy bears. They are not great bears, but I can make them.

Wednesday here too, i found it challenging to admit i'm struggling again and tell somebody

Hahahahaha... this made me laugh

 

[Acanthi]

The past few days hace been bad... I had a breakdown on Monday and I'm just so tired of everything. Everything.

On the otherhand, I'm sort of a language professional and I do freelamce work. Just had a potential customer indignantly tell me I should take tuppence for a lot of work. I said "No, this is my minimum charge, I can't do cheaper. I won't take the job if you still insist I go lower." not sure if it worked yet, he's still liasing with his bosses. But I'm glad I stood up for myself. All hail the small victories

Well @Acy will be doing most of the work since I will be busy writing a math exam.

I will bring oranges.

 

[nico_justnico]

For the café, I brought ingredients for making mojito's (the only cocktail i can make, but i am good at it)
and for the challenge: I managed to wake up before my alarm went off (which is a miracle since i had to get up very early today)

Did you just put chocolate chip cookies on your "healthy" menu, @Innocent Forever? That's awesome.
I didn't do anything at all this weekend. I watched that stupid giraffe have that baby on saturday. Fought with the wife a lot. Went back to work monday. Yup, that's about it.

Hellllllooooooooo???????? They're oatmeal raisin cookies and they use apple sauce for half the butter/margarine, so I think it counts as healthy. For those who aren't into raisins there's also those with chocolate chips but oats are healthy, no?

 

[Acy]

Good morning! Happy Humpday to all!

I'm doing a play with @Rockclimbinggirl who is unavailable because of an exam? Hmmmm...sounds like a lame excuse to me, Kate. (jk) Please give me the oranges and I'll make sure they are placed on the counter with the other goodies.

My weekend was challenged by a virus + allergies - lots of sneezing and coughing. In spite of that, I drove the hour and a bit to my sister's to see the family and have Easter dinner.

As far as snacks go, even vegans and vegetarians can eat this healthy lamb dish:

Hope everyone has something good happen during the day!

 

[Fell Mor]

I can't sing. Not even a little bit.
