It’s my life, don’t you forget… *
It was a day out. [A day in!] Rob and I decided that we needed an adventure, so we wandered to NoDa and wandered around for a while… we had a quick and light meal at Cabo’s Fish Tacos [they have lots of other stuff too, and a great atmosphere!] and then went to the Boulevard Gallery for a quick gander… then of course wound up at Amelie’s French Bakery. I’m writing this entry from there while sipping on some excellent coffee and recovering from the chocolate mousse cup pictured above. Seriously… a 24/7 bakery? Sign me up. I love this place.
We also managed to just miss a TORNADO that hit Cleveland County on our way out… wow. Hopefully our apartment will still be there on our return. *meep*
The weather’s been steady-on rainy, Springtime-a-riffic lately, and my freshly seeded balcony garden seems appreciative. I already have some mesclun mix seeds a-sproutin’ and my small herb plants look healthy and happy. I love being a gardener, and I’m really hoping that I do well this year, so that we can add the veggies of my labour into our meals.
To add a little depth to this post, I have been both riddled with Deep Thoughts about my direction in life, and driven with the desire to fine tune some slacker aspects of day to day existence. I will elaborate more as I firm up plans, but let’s just say that there will be more cooking at home and Xiane care-taking to come. It’s something that I’ve been neglecting severely, and I deserve better! I’m the only Xiane that I’ve got, after all.
Have you made new plans for your future lately? Anything that you’ve been wanting to improve in your life? I’d love to hear all about it!
*thank you, Talk Talk!

That bakery looks amazing. I really need to get back down to CLT one of these days, and preferably a day that doesn’t involve roller derby.

It is a totally awesome bakery, and it keeps MY hours! How cool is that? If you come down here for a visit again, you and I should definitely go – even the regular food there is amazing. Yum!

I have taken up Tai Chi. I seems to be improving my back little by little. My plans include letting go. I am starting with the physical things that clutter my life and take up too much time.
I have a flower garden going. My veggies are still grown at my mom’s house. I have been getting my hands dirty this spring.
I would love to plan a visit to see you sometime.
*HUGS*

Seems like an excellent plan Maya! I’ve been working on letting go too. It’s hard, I’m such a pack rat!
Also trying to figure out if we’re moving to Omaha (Husband’s job, potentially) or IL (Husband’s Masters program). Right now it’s a toss up. /sigh

I suggest cooking with jicama. I just tried it , after hearing every other chef on “Top Chef” talk about their jicama salads and what not…it’s delicious! I’m on an adventurous cooking kick…maybe we should trade ideas?
