the perfect monday goes a little something like this
Woke up to some glorious sunshine today and was escorted by my lovely mom to the airport where I indulged in my "airport only snack of choice" - a Cinnabon. YUMMMMM! It is only consumed when I travel so as not to completely shock my body with sugar on a regular basis. After a 2.5 hour nap on one of the smoothest flights I've ever had, I was greeted by the cutest baby in the world and her mom, my fabulous dear friend Pooneh. Aaahhh... what a welcome. After some really good pastrami and goat cheese on rye (don't knock it 'til you try it, yo) and a chocolate croissant (yes, i'm allowing myself to eat anything I want this week) we lounged for the afternoon, enjoying some excellent conversation, lavender earl gray tea, sunshine and warm SoCal weather. Oh, and a couple of Star Trek TNG episodes on Spike TV. That rocked!
Now, having just watched mom and baby fall asleep - a glorious and precious sight to behold - I am basking in the warmth of the love and hospitality of my friends and I am reflecting on the important things in life.
Oh - baby just woke up! We are about to chow down on pasta and possibly slip into the heated pool for some relaxation, maybe watch a movie.
Ah, Monday.

How dare you mention heated pools and buns slathered in cinnamon,butter,and sugar in a Chicago November! Well, guess it isn't so bad since it's been in the 60's. BUT,If you would have raved about this in late January shoot, I would have to pelt you with cinna-buns and throw you into a pool!! It's cruel and unusual punishment to excitedly tell people in cold weather how great your vacation in hot-ass weather is going. But, since our weather is so mild, I am wishing you the best of times out in the California sun. Oh snap, if you find a nice hoola girl for me out in the pacific, I'll totally pay you back for the incured cost of bringing her home,thanks!!!! Keep us updated!
