hooray! *patpat*

I would like to pat myself on the back for a moment: Today, I actually got off my butt and made phone calls to find out where the practice rooms at BU are. Not only that, but I got in touch with the right guy, found out what I needed to do, did it, and then played a tiny bit. (Note: muscle memory is amazing stuff.) It was fantastic! This wasn't a huge task, or anything, but I'd been putting it off because it was never the thing I most needed to do. It wasn't ever really in the top ten. And yet: I did it anyway! And it was fun! It was actually super extra fun because the conversation went something like this:

Music dude: Okay, can I have your ID?
Me: Sure! Here you go. *hands over ID in which I have green hair, not the current purple*
MD: And you're with the, ahh, you work for the school of, um, Management?
Me: Yup!

Apparently I'm not the average business school type.

BUT SO! Now that I have patted myself on the back for completing a pretty mundane task, it occurs to me that I don't hear people pat themselves on the back for stuff nearly often enough! What have you done recently that you wouldn't normally crow about? Sorted some books? Taken stuff to Goodwill? Mopped the floor? Tell me about it!

Coconut like shredded dried coconut? I have a weakness for 7 layer bars (http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1910,158178-233206,00.html)! And you're exactly right about how procrasinatable that kind of task is. I'm actually amazed I did it so quickly. :)

Mmmm, seven layer bars.

This is going to sound weird, but add it to bran muffins.

Alas, 7 Layer Bars would be redundant (even if - especially if - I left out the nuts). The bars I made could be described as 5 Layer Bars, slightly stirred: shortbready bottom layer, butter/sugar/coconut/choc top layer.

Take a stroll over to my LJ (harimad) to see what I'm thinking of making with the sweetened shredded dried coconut.
