Good morning!! Yup, you read right…good morning!! It’s 7:23 AM, and I’m up. No, it’s not for any reason, I just felt wide awake. I also thought you might want something to make you smile (no it’s not my post itself, but rather a video). :) Kristi, thanks for forwarding this along to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWUrj22pRD0&feature=fvst. Dancing, yet another universal language! You think he was really in all those places? I hope so ’cause it was really cool, and the song is my new favorite song. I put it on my phone, and I’ve listened to it five times already.Â
It feels good to be up early! I think I just might get done all the to-do items on my list…imagine that! I’m looking forward to lunch with Paloma at Olive Garden (mmm…soup, salad and breadsticks, here I come!). I’m also looking forward to a yummy dinner of gazpacho. I slaved over the blender last night to make it! Actually, it’s easy to make aside from seeding the tomatoes. I dread that part. Does anyone have any special tricks on how to do it? I’ve tried squeezing them out, cutting them out…it’s never a pretty sight, and nothing seems to work perfectly.
Keeping on the whole food theme, since Dr. Orloff gave me the go-ahead to be around children, I gave myself the go-ahead to eat my favorite non-pasteurized cheese. :) I’m sure he wouldn’t mind! I treated myself to some delicious manchego cheese yesterday, topping it off with oven-roasted tomatoes from the Whole Foods olive bar. I missed that yummy flavor combination!! I learned to love manchego when I studied in Spain, where I disgusted all Spaniards by pairing it with coffee. Now that I think about it, that is pretty gross.
OK, well, I’m off to take a shower and start my day at a normal hour. This feels good! I don’t think I’ll be making a habit of it, but it feels good! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there!!!
Love,
Julie
