"she is a beautiful girl"

  1. I shopped 'til I dropped. literally. we shopped all day up and down 5th avenue--it was great. but then we were both exhausted and took a nap before an amazing dinner (see below).
  2. still on the search for the perfect red, rounded toe, preferably leather pumps. come on new york, don't let me down.
  3. dinner at Arno was...bella e delizioso. zuppa, gnocchi alla pesto, sauvignon blanc, e cappuccino. words cannot describe how much I love italian food (again, see below).
to me, food has always been a pleasure unmatched by other things. I. love. food. as mentioned above, we went to an amazing italian restaurant. everyone was treated like a regular and the waiters were charmed by our manners and humor. the table next to us of older men walked in a saw me and the oldest man said "she is a beautiful girl--you all know I love beautiful women." politely, I said grazie, and continued my meal. this is just a glimpse into all the reasons I love italian food. it's complicated, though. I feel so fortunate that I am able to enjoy food. I attempt to practice mindful eating. that means enjoying every bite--how it smells, feels, tastes, looks, etc. enjoying food slowly makes me more appreciative of the blessings of really good food. to put it simply, I love food. end of story.
