Increasing my Timmys intake

Some people look for a crocus.

Some people wait for Wiarton Willie.

Others wait for maple syrup festivals.

But I know the true first sign pointing to the end of a Canadian winter.

Wee hee! It's back--Tim Horton's Rrroll Up the Rim to Win--that special time of year when I trebel my caffeine intake so I can get, what else? MORE COFFEE!...Oh yeah, there are doughnuts and biscuits and muffins along with other things like a barbeque, $1000 and a SUV, but it's the free coffee that keeps me going.

Tee hee--okay, so far I've not won anything this year with my three coffees (it's early--only the first day), but maybe I'll win something tomorrow :) and yes, I know I could do the decaf thing (WHY?) or I could get their tea (but not their steeped tea--that stuff is just WRONG, I don't care how much they spent to convince me that an xth-generation tea master told them that *that* was how tea was supposed to taste--I'm not the only one who has a problem with it, there's an online petition), but if I'm doing a winter drink, it has to be their coffee..hmm...I wonder if I can get a cup if I buy and iced cap--must ask the gals at my office Tims about that...oh..and if I did win the Toyota SUV (as environmentally unfriendly as it is), I'd take it (and probably sell it for something a bit better on gas)...unlike the Aztek they offered a few years ago--that was like a LeMans on steroids and twice as ugly...

Ummm...why are my hands shaking like this?

cheers!

    Best of luck, Jasmine! I hope your shakes stop long enough for you to rrroll up a rrrim! And yes, the Aztek was truly hideous; talk about a car/van/truck (not sure what it was) that looks like it was put together through consensus by a committee. Ewww.

    Jasmine,

    I'm with you all the way! I shall be rrrolling rrrims until the cow's come home.

    It's funny because today I was having a conversation with someone about whether or not people actually win all those prizes ... hmmm ... true contest or marketing ploy???

    Oh well ... good luck!

    Hi Tania --I always feel sorry for people when I see them in Azteks in RL...I figure they won them or something.

    Ivonne: A little from Column A, a little from Column B. It's a great marketing ploy. I heard that someone at my office won one of the larger prizes last year.

Thanks for stopping by.

I love visitor reactions but not anonymous notes, comments which went one round too many on the spin cycle, part of an inflammatory campaign, or those best left for the compost heap. And yes, comments left by "content marketers" are spam, in my eyes and will be dealt with accordingly.

The recipes I post have worked for me, but if you've had problems, I'll do my best to help. Attacks based on results because you've not followed what I've posted (changed ingredients, cooking methods and/or quantities) won't be posted.

In other words: be kind or constructive, not libellous or smarmy.
