Yesterday I was having a little bit of a rough morning. You know...just one of those days, and just when I thought things couldn't get worse, everything got better! I had two awesome things happen to me in a span of 5 minutes.
1. My friend Katie texted me that she had Red Sox tickets for the game that night and invited me to go!
--------and then---------
2. I checked my email and found out I was a finalist in the Wild Harvest Breakfast recipe contest! My recipe was selected to be a top 5 finalist.
I was so happy! It just reminded me that good things do happen, and to never let anything get you down too much, because you never know what awesome opportunity is waiting just around the corner! :) Your luck can turn around in an instant! (p.s. positive thoughts rock, and I know that was corny)
I quickly showered and went back into the city to meet my friend. For me, Red Sox games mean Fenway franks and soft serve in a mini helmet. No trip to Fenway is complete without them! Although this is my favorite food option at the game, they recently added some healthier choices, which I think is awesome!

Since I'm just not a sports person, I rarely watch what's going on in the game and just go for the atmosphere and the food. I still love going to games, and always have a good time, especially with friends!
This game happened to be really boring, and I'm not just saying that because I don't like watching sports! Only one run was scored. I think we lost, but I can't be sure because I left halfway through the 9th inning to try and beat the rush to the t.
Such a fun night! I love doing things on week nights just to make the week go by faster
Now on to the #2 exciting thing. I can't believe my messy falling-apart omelette was selected!
Ahhhh! I'm actually kinda embarrased that this picture is up on the website for everyone to see:
Can you even call that an omlette?? Oh well, I guess it's the taste that counts!
I've never come this close to winning a contest in my life, so this is a really big deal to me, especially since the prize is so sweet:
"The winning breakfast will be announced on August 18th, and served at HLS. The recipe creator will receive a $500 gift card to use at any SUPERVALU store, including Albertsons, JEWEL-OSCO, Shaw’s, ACME, Farm Fresh, Cub Foods, SHOPPERS, Shop ‘n Save and Hornbacher’s."
The other finalists are:
I wanna say "Good Luck" to all the finalists!!! I can't wait to see who wins!
P.S. Don't forgot to enter my giveaway for the Maggiano's Gift Certificate, I'll pick a winner on Monday. :)
