I was telling a friend that I was learning how to be guileful because being truthful wasn’t working for me – when suddenly I had an enormous epiphany – I haven’t been truthful at all lately. Another friend told me she is always worried that she might sound – god forbid – needy if she is truthful and/or even worse vulnerable. I told her I so agree – the thought of being perceived as needy…
Loca plays bad dog good dog pell-mell with me all the time. I had to cover up the holes she dug in the yard (AGAIN!) and then she can be so good when we are doing our lessons as evidenced below – her sit/stay is perfect.
November 5, 2007 In the name of love I willingly forgive and forget all harm done to me.
The US delayed setting back the clocks this year by one week and maybe that is why it has been the freakiest time change I’ve experienced. I can’t get right with the difference – last night at 6:30, it felt like 11:30. This morning seemed to have lasted forever as if I was moving in slow motion. It was great that it was light so early, but unsettling that it grew dark so quickly.
I went to Juan’s with neighbors to get a taco and decompress from the weekend. We talked about qualities in a person that we like. I recited my top two – someone who makes me laugh and who I can be proud of. We don’t know what it is that makes a person funny or makes us laugh – but we know that in this life – as sweet as it is – laughter is…
S and I had a pre-race breakfast here this morning before walking to the cemetery on Metairie Road for the 5K Run Through History sponsored by New Orleans Track Club. I woke up in that spriteful way – it was 5AM – but really it was 6AM – but no matter – I had plenty of time to get the dogs taken care of and walked before we headed out – I was excited to…
Last night I went to preview the new restaurant opening on the Carrollton and Canal corridor – so far we have a lot – Wit’s Inn came back after the storm, better than before. Then the noodle house Doson opened. Then Rooster’s made a try but then soon Metin had the restaurant and opened Hot Burger recently. And now Arabesque on the same block is opening to the public this Thursday. A lovely, intimate restaurant…
Moosey came by to visit yesterday and we had Turkish cay and pumpkin spice cake with some slices of fresh cantalope. He talked to me about his business and we figured out things he could do differently at some of his restaurants. He’s a bad boy, no doubt, but he has always had this mysterious charm that gets me everytime. I’ve come to accept him for who he is and enjoy his company without expectations.…
I went out last night and we were having just normal conversation, and one of the girls, who was having her period, responded so nastily to something I said that I jumped back as if a snake had come out of nowhere and bit me. Hormones are a bitch. Yesterday, at lunch my male friend was rueing the loss of his libido at 51 years of age and saying he missed the hormones that used…
Great article in the NYT on Besh. A friend recently was telling me that he had suffered through some bad service at August and another friend of his had also. I still want to see for myself as I haven’t been to August in a little bit of time only because my new found circle doesn’t seem to be hip to dining out on the high end. Personally, I don’t want Besh to be Iron…
