It's Friday, yay! My goal of completing five workouts this week has been accomplished and I couldn't be happier. Because they're done, sure, but mainly because exercise is a mood elevator unlike anything else. If I can keep this feeling firmly in my mind, I will be able to keep the momentum going and get my strength and stamina back up to speed.
I just finished a lovely lunch of soft boiled eggs on toasted Ezekiel raisin bread. I know people poo-poo Ezekiel bread but that raisin bread is so satisfying and delicious. Mmmmm!
What are we eating at Shady Dame this weekend? Tonight will be a picky-nic of fresh figs from the farmer's market with goat cheese and prosciutto along with olive tapenade that Lisa has been raving about. I met the tapenade lady earlier this afternoon, her name is Anita and she's lovely. She gave me a little tub of her homemade boursin cheese to sample. I can't wait to try it. Some of my Italian favorites will make an appearance, sausage with peppers and mushrooms and pasta e fagioli which is pasta with a sauce of garlic, white beans and tomato. Sometimes you just have to have your soul food.
I'm going to catch up on my magazine reading (the pile has swallowed the coffee table) and start a new book this weekend, The House on Tradd Street
On Sunday evening I'm heading the monthly Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Brick and Mortar event at Harry's Whole Foods in Alpharetta, GA. It's such a fun event, think a fashion show party only with perfume. There will be great company, fantastic perfume to sample and purchase, courtesy of Black Phoenix and some fabulous snacks courtesy of Whole Foods. If you're local to the Atlanta area, come join us this Sunday from 5pm-8pm.
It's just gone 2pm, so like Young MC I have to bust a move. I want to finish the laundry so I can watch the premier of Project Runway I recorded last night. Have an amazing Friday and MAKE IT WORK!
