soul mates.

i know it’s from eat pray love but it’s one of my favorite excerpts from a book i’ve read…. “What’s got you all wadded up?” he drawls, toothpick in mouth, as usual. “Don’t ask,” I say, but then I start talking and tell him every bit of it, concluding with, “And worst of all, I can’t stop obsessing over David. I thought I was...

May 18th

One of those out-of-the-ordinary days that made sense of the slew of ordinary days. New York had a way of doing that. Every now and then the city shook its soul out.

(From ‘Let the Great World Spin’ Colum Mccann)

while unpacking

today while going through my last two bags of random things i found my polaroid camera. i have three shots left already loaded in the camera but one lone pack of film to go through. i think i should save the shots for when it’s really important, when the moment is just right. knowing me though, they’ll be gone in 10 minutes after a glass of wine or two.

my daily happiness

miranda and i share our graces with each other each day, it’s a way to remember the small things for which we are thankful…we both fell behind in the past few days and here’s what she had to say about that… “I’m behind, and even tho it’s been a shitty few days, I thought I’d send some graces—makes sense anyway, since the point of these graces...

second guesses.

i think there’s a term for this feeling and i’m pretty sure it’s ‘cold feet’…

Yet it reminded me right then of a brief love affair, the kind you have when you are about to move from a familiar place to somewhere new, and you begin a romance with a built-in expiration. And when the time comes for the affair to end, you are sad but grateful because having had someone who understood you perfectly in that moment helps you to walk into the uncertain night and toward that unknown...

sage wisdom from jamie oliver

He dressed the salad, which he filled with fresh herbs, tossing it with his hands. Then he threw frozen peas into the pan with the pancetta. Two women who work for him moved in and out of the kitchen, talking on cellphones. “The key to life is to surround yourself with lots of women,” Oliver said. “Men would just lie to me. Girls say, ‘Give me half an hour and I’ll find out.’ They’re intelligent,...
