It's been a long time since I have blogged. But, I think this is the best time to start since I'm
a. engaged which makes me extra reflective
b. moving to new york in a few months which makes me extra reflective
c. it's the new year and that makes me extra reflective
so hear are my present tendencies; my present adventures:
my birthday was yesterday! this is me doing some of my favorite things:
- get up and notice that the sun is shining just for me
- make a delicious tofu scramble with fresh asparagus, tomatoes and peppers
- have a dance party in sunshine yellow pants
- change pants and head to my massage (courtesy of my fiance), which is a dream come true
- have lunch at aladdin's eatery (rolled dawali pita and hummus)
- walk over to world market (if you join their explorer club they give you $10 on your birthday) and buy dark chocolate, stationary, a sympathy card and a bag of little candles.
- walk over to borders to pick up "letters to a young artist" by anna deavere smith.
- contemplate whether i can rightfully consider myself "young" anymore, while waiting for them to look for it. they don't have it
- decide i could still consider myself young
- drive over to anthropologie. (if you get an anthro card (not a credit card) they give you 15% off on your entire order in your birthday month, and a necklace with a little birthday candle on it.)
- smell all of their candles. (it comes down to almond biscotti and white chocolate mousse)
- buy the white chocolate mousse candle.
- drive home.
- sing some songs (i'm trying to find a good pop ballad)
- go to community group where we talk about dreams (we're reading Genesis 37 and "go go go Joseph" keeps looping in my head)
- celebrate my birthday with my community group and two vegan cupcakes from Fritz! (I didn't even know they had vegan cupcakes... trouble)
- drive back home
- find a perfect parking spot!
- skype with faraway fiance, while burning my new delicious candle
- fall asleep looking at his handsome face...
