We’ve made it to the second day of the new year! Hooray for us!
Yesterday was the first day in awhile that I felt like a human being. This means that I diligently sat at my computer listening to Perpetuum Mobile on repeat while I worked on finishing design projects from 2011. I’m pretty sure that listening to any piece of music on repeat for any length of time is a sign of deep neurosis. I’m going to look into that. Productivity felt so good.
So did eating…
I’m calling this the breakfast of friends because everything here was given to me. I know some good people. The egg from my friend Jeanne’s chickens. Fresh bread and clementines from bread master Sarah. And apple butter from my mom. I don’t care for runny eggs, I like them fried crisp in butter and well done with lots of pepper.
Christmas tree is still up, I’m thinking I’ll take it down next weekend. I just love the light, maybe I need to put twinkle lights up year round. The scrabble peace ornament is from my pal AshleyGee and it’s one of my favorites this year. Thanks Ashley!
Dinner was at India Garden in Blacksburg. Their chicken tikka masala is exactly what I was craving. It’s so sweet and creamy and perfect with naan. I emailed Josh earlier in the day and said “if I get my work done, we’re going out!” and out we did.
I love Indian food, there is no craving like an Indian food craving, I could eat this meal several times a week.
After dinner we went out to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo which was deeply disturbing and intriguing. I honestly loved the story, but there wasn’t a lot left on the table as far as torturous scenes go. Rooney Mara was fantastic though. Have you read the books? I’m equal parts scared and interested in reading them.
It’s so nice to start the year with a clean slate. I’ve cleared so much off my plate for the new year that it feels good to have time to write and be creative. Today I start back with Insanity after being off for two weeks. I’m looking forward to the endorphins and sweat.
