#194/365--No Way


Some friends and I tried to go eat at Pho King Way today--it's one of those places that you just have to see...but when we arrived, here's what we saw:


and so...we went to...


...which turned out to be pretty good...

Pretty funny.

#192/365--Dark as Night

It's the night sky.
Really.
New Moon tonight.
I'm imagining laying outside somewhere in the country,
looking up at the stars--there's millions...no, billions of them-
for miles around.
The breeze is blowing, you can smell the grass and the summer heat.
Breathe it in.

#190/365--Journals

This is a stack of my journals from the past 5 years (excluding my current one--which is on my bed right now...).  I pulled them out to reread some of them.  It's amazing how the emotions and memories can come back in an instant...to see where I was, where I came from...where I am now, as a result.  I can't say how therapeutic journalling has been and still is for me.  Cathartic is the word, I believe.

#189/365--Only an Asian Restaurant

As we were driving by, the name caught my eye.  At first I was like...wait...a....second....and then I did a search for nearby restaurants really quickly---and sure enough...there it was.  I sure wish I had turned around and taken a picture of the actual restaurant.  As you can imagine, all the funny things that you can say with a name like this were popping out of my mouth left and right.  Quickly, I had Lauren post it to my facebook.  I think I laughed about it for at least a good hour.  Lauren even posted it to her facebook.  And then.  The guilt hit.  Here I am as a parent, encouraging my children to use such a word...and yes, even though it's NOT THAT word...it's still THAT word.  So, I apologized to my kids and we removed the picture from our facebooks. 
It's funny.  But...in an adult, appropriate setting.  (And I'm still laughing as I read the name of the restaurant...heehee.)
Lunch, anyone?
