makes me a little bit stronger
Posted in About Me, Activities, Books, Fresh food market, Life, Literature, Personal, Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by EramblingsI gotta say I was the spitting image of hotness today when I ventured out after dinner to get water in my tank, bermudas, striped fuzzy socks and slippers. I mean a real sex pot. I was about half way there when it occurred to me I probably looked like I got dressed in the dark.
This past weekend my parent’s and I created the most delicious breakfast with some of the incredible foods we picked up at the fresh food market. My mom and I went to two in one day. Not planned, but she didn’t find what she was looking for at the first and we just wanted to go to the bigger one to begin with. I have been in heaven, drowning in fresh fruits and vegetables. I even found this really cool ring made out of bamboo. I just love the experience of going to the market. The people, the atmosphere, the dogs, the smells and sounds. It is all so wonderfully delightful.
This guy was so artfully dressed, I just had to take a pic. I just love his suspenders and the feather in his hat just makes me smile.
These have to be the most beautiful sunflowers I have seen in so long. I should have bought some, but I was too busy taking pictures. Don’t they just scream friendly and sunshine. One of my favorite flowers because of their simple cheerfulness.
And the CUTEST puppy EVER?!
Here’s a pic of the breakfast we made. Check out the veggies in there - broccoli, peppers, cheese. We paired it with toast dripping with jelly - oh wait just mine was dripping with jelly. My dad makes the absolutely best omelets and egg sandwiches ever!! My niece keeps saying how he needs to open a restaurant for them. I was thinking he should call it Bampy’s Bad Ass Breakfasts.
I have been living up life. Truly enjoying myself. It keeps amazing me how wonderful life is when I live in the moment. It really is like having my cake and eating it too. Simply breath taking. Funny how I always thought time would slow down if I lived in the moment, but in reality it speeds up. I am always trying to breath in the moments as they are passing. I think I will always be one of those peeps who thinks about the future, planning ahead, but I am now able to look in the past and see how far I’ve come. I appreciate my history so much more all the while relishing in the now.
Work has been keeping me busy. I am finally feeling more like myself. Kicking ass and taking names. Most days at work I feel like a fucking queen. I leave thinking - that was so awesome! I love days like that. I am hoping for a promotion, but (surprisingly) I am okay to wait because I know that it is inevitable. I am doing a good job and I know it. I am really enjoying the people I work with too. I picked up a sequel to The Five Love Languages and it includes how to apply it for work relationships. Seems to be working.
I have been a reading fiend lately too. I really have to choose between blogging and reading. I can’t seem to figure out how to do both. I read Nora Robert’s newest book Vision in White. I just got sucked into the romance of it. Ironically too, I was intrigued by the wedding business seeing as how our family did quite a bit of that with our business. I picked up a book the other day (ack! feeding my habit) that was too good to pass up - Francine Prose, Reading like a Writer: a guide for people who love books and for those who want to write them. Other ones I have read lately are American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld (oddly very similar to the political events during Bush administration) and Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Naht Hanh.
I have been having a blast going out with friends and grabbing a beer after work. Who knew I liked beer? I am definitely a darker, heavier beer lover, but I have been tasting them like wine to find the ones I like.
Father’s day was very fun though my dad and I celebrated it a week earlier because my gift to him was a baseball game. We ended up taking my mom and a girl friend of mine. My dad laughed because he said at one point my friend and I were both talking so fast that we were talking at the same time. It was great to get out, catch a game and drink a beer. I had so much fun. I felt like I cheated my dad. Like giving a guy lingerie for a gift - really the gift is for the girl, I mean she gets to wear it, y’know?
