things i loved last week

sorry this week's list comes a bit late. i have been busy hosting visitors and readying myself for my trip out west. i leave tomorrow...eek!

things i loved feb 4-10

blue moon



in all my months of dieting, filled with pint and bottle of flavorless, light beer (or wine. mmm) i forgot how wonderful this earthy belgian white ale could be. it is so smooth and easy to drink, when faced with a cold pint with a slice of lemon or orange, i have trouble keeping up with my fast-drinking beer-chugging friends.

wine & cheese

i'm sorry to make this all about alcohol this week, but i had a lovely evening out with a friend at one of my favorite wine bars, enjoying a wonderful bottle of red wine and a pretty good selection of cheeses, followed by a beautiful, sweet, bubbly glass of pink champagne. and since i have not had a night such as that since december, i had forgotten how much i like all of those things rolled into one.

i am currently working on a story for work about the impending "economic downturn." now that i have emerged from it, i seem to think that i was experiencing a sort of "downturn" of my own, brought on by the winter doldrums and my 25th birthday. i slagged through january (although i did have a fun trip to vermont) and i have made it out okay.

i have no doubt my san francisco trip will be full of nights drowning in red wine and cheese, and i am looking forward to nothing more than that. the thought of pink champagne will get me through the endless (and scary) flight.

happy travels!
