Things & Stuff
Just some tunes I’m listening to as the weather’s heating up in Austin. Happy Monday!
Breakfast: soy mocha.
Lunch with S. and A. at Beets Cafe (raw food paradise): zucchini hummus with veggies and flatbread.
Kale salad. So fresh and yummy.
ELT (eggplant, tomato, lettuce, avocado on flatbread); sweet potato chips, delicious sauerkraut). Somehow I didn’t take a photo of the chalupas, which were my favorite.
Dessert: chocolate “cheesecake” and a brownie. Holy smokes, the cheesecake was fabulous.
Dinner: scrambled eggs with gruyere, toast with butter. We ran into Tyson Cole the other day at Central Market, and he said he’s on a gruyere kick. He recommended it with eggs, and I have to say, it’s lovely.
Dessert: homemade chocolate chip cookie. I had one of these as my afternoon snack, too.
Can I eat at Beets Cafe every day? K thx.
Dear Coffee,
I think our relationship has moved to the next level. I’d like to see you every morning, if that’s okay with you.

Dear God,
I am overwhelmed with all the happiness you’ve been giving me lately. Thank you for sending all these bits of goodness to me – I really needed them.

Dear Husband,
In the past few days, you made me breakfast, lunch and dinner; you moved furniture around so that I could have my very own desk; you did the laundry, scooped the kitty litter, and took out the trash; you went grocery shopping with me and carried all the heavy things on our walk home; you made me laugh and massaged my shoulders and kept me calm. I am so lucky to have you to spoil me rotten. In return, tonight I’m making champagne cocktails and chocolate chip cookies for dinner. Enjoy.

I didn’t manage to photograph full days of eats, but here are a few things I’ve eaten recently at home. 🙂
First of all, thank you all so much for all of your wonderful comments on my post about the book! I am so grateful for your support – I can’t believe people are already ordering it! I appreciate it so very much.
Yesterday I turned 33, which doesn’t feel much different, but is still a great birthday, nonetheless. It was such a wonderful day:
Today was somehow just as lovely, with new friends, new projects, and lots of smiles. I feel overwhelmed with happiness – I actually think tonight I need to just lay low, read a calming book, go to bed early, and calm down all the flutters in my heart. I feel so very blessed today. I just want to savor it.
Oh, also, I added links to where you can buy the book on the sidebar, as well as a stream of my iPhone (Instagram) photos below that. It’s kind of fun to have a place to keep those little iPhone moments!
