My friend JG introduced me to a fabulous new pedi place last week. Way nice staff, comfy setting, and a top notch pedi. I got a super deep purple w/a teeny bit of shimmer/metallic in it, which is interesting for me, but which JL suggested and looks awesome. Love it!
Fall is in the air..the leaves are beginning to change, the air is crisp in the mornings, and it's dark when it used to be light early and late....we've bought one bag of chili, but need to get another one while the roasters are still in motion. It's a little hot this year, which means lots of flavor and heat enough to warm us up in the cool months ahead.
Monday...it was hard to get up today, harder to come into work, but now things are smoothing out and I'm feeling a sense of early productivity and accomplishment, though I don't want to jinx myself with this...we'll know later on, but some big projects seem to be moving along very very well..yay!
Everything else nonsensical....Ok, I'm done with Private Practice. I watched about 1/4 of it last week, and finally said, 'Nah, this just isn't for me.' It felt liberating...as I'm currently connected/addicted to more shows than in a very long time. Jettisoning one won't hurt a bit.
The weekend, was beautiful. Got out for a long run on Saturday, noticed how the colors are beginning to change, and how the general feel in the air is shifting into fallishness. We had dinner with our friends KD and LD, whose wedding we went to last year on the day daughter hurt her knee...on Saturday night, and tasted Torta Rustica for the first time...which is a heavenly Italian dish similar to lasagna only made with phyllo, and baked in a springform pan. Ricotta, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers...yum. Amazing dish. Amazing company. Lovely dinner. And KD served cheesecake drizzled with ganache and topped with fresh raspberries for dessert. More yum....
Sunday was about nesting. Laundry, reading (finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, thanks JL!), working (projects galore, not enough time to address them all), then finally enjoying a new meditation area Hubby created down in the garden. It's beautiful, with a brick wall enclosing bamboo, a cool buddha statue and a small zen garden complete with a tiny rake and sand...We sat down there last evening and enjoyed the new addition, a glass of wine, then took pictures to send to the kiddos. Cannot figure out how to actually get the pics on my laptop right now, but will somehow work through that silliness.
I made a few promises to myself, and to Hubby this weekend. Meditate more. Reestablish the strong yoga practice. Practice being really really present more often. Regain perspective on life/work balance.
I'll keep ya posted.
