Taking Stock

 


After a long hiatus, I decided to start writing again... I don't expect anyone to really be reading, but I just love so much going through my old entries, it's a sort of treasured diary.

The image above was taken on April 25th (bank holiday here), during our bike ride at the Aqueducts park in Rome. Such a beautiful day!

So much has changed since last time I wrote here, I don't know where to start. So I start by taking stock!

Making: eggplant pesto. As requested by my girl, who loved it last summer. I stopped doing it during the winter, as eggplant were not so good, but husband found some nice ones and as I write they are in the oven.

Drinking: water and more water. The sparkling one, thanks!

Watching: videos (youtube and instagram) on home and food organizing, fitness, and, of course, makeup. Love Love Love Johnny Ross!

Reading: Minimalism, by Gwyneth Snow. Will need to start applying the suggestions, though!

Enjoying: working from home 3 days a week. Makes me even appreciate the two days on site a lot!

Listening: Believer - Imagine Dragon


Bookmarking: Isa Welly's blog. Many suggestions and insights, and I find the articles on gut health very interesting.

Wanting: some more hours in the day to be able to accomplish everything!

Wearing: thrifted black cargo pants, on repeat. I also go to dance classes in them!

Feeling: peaceful, full of good energy!

And I am glad Kristina had this idea, because it pushed me to take out and wear my bangles...  I wore this outfit - it's an exact repetition, so I didn't take pictures.  And here is the arm Party! I bought the six striped bangles during my trip to Corsica, 20 years ago. They are six like the letters that compose my name.The brown one is from a store in Buffalo. The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!

Birthday thoughts.

Image
I am starting this post with a picture of me, cutting a cake, on Sat night, at the end of dinner. I had my sisters, parents and little niece for dinner, and it was a very pleasant evening. The day before I went to my ex' place, and took every last bit I had left there (winter coats, and other random stuff, such as a muffin pan, and the tablecloth you can see in the picture). This was one of the presents I gave myself for my birthday. The lightness of knowing that everything is done, finished and closed, and I don't need to have anything to do with him anymore. Then, for my "new year", I decided to be a tiny bit braver, and ask people to do stuff with me. I have always been pretty shy about it, because I have always thought if people want me with them, they'd ask me. But I have come to realize that others like to be invited and involved, too! So, I was talking to a colleague I am pretty close to, and we decided to book a vacation to Sicily together, with ano...
