i'm thankful for ...

Last weekend we drove into LA (so sad that I have to say that) and had brunch at BLD with Auntie Erin/Tita.  Even though Amelia had a bit of a meltdown waiting for her food, it was such a lovely time.

 

I may have shown up for my dental appointment a week early, but the upside was taking myself out to lunch and doing a little shopping.

Our realtor (and now friend) Grace met me out a house with a vietnamese iced coffee in hand.  It was amazing and so very thoughtful of her.  I'm now officially addicted to Lee's coffee!

Last week I went downtown to meet girlfriends for dinner at Industriel Farm.  The food was delicious (farm to table), the ambience was perfect and the conversation and company were both insightful and hilarious.  But, one of my favorite moments of the night was walking down the street, at night, by myself.  Just me.  And I know it's cliche, but I rarely get those moments where I am reminded of who I actually am.  It was exactly what I needed.
