Feelin' Summertime throwback on this gorgeous friday morning..

The Artichoke

I earned the title of artichoke over the many of conversations Stick and I have had about what we've both done in our lives. Me, from ring girl, to being in a band, riding a harley etc., I always kept him guessing about some of the crazy things I've done and peeling away those layers, hence the artichoke. I've always been curious about my family tree, which I've vowed to research. Without belaboring my post, I just learned my mom is an artichoke too. She just told me she used to love to act when she was a child. In Jewish theatre. Most of the time she played boys and during the bow she would untuck her long hair and the audience would then learn she was a little girl. She remembered a fond memory of doing a play with Molly Picon. She was the first and foremost star in Yiddish theatre. My digging has begun. I love my mom...the artichoke.

Thank you noodle goddess!

My laksa void has finally been filled.  After years of noodle depression, I have stumbled on a yellow curry noodle at Take A Bao that was simple sublime. Not an exact replica to the one and only Zen Grille, but pretty fuckin' close. I'm in yellow curry euphoria.  Yea..sometimes I'm easy to please, but we all know, this one was no small feat.

Beauty is as beauty does.

I'm feeling very Chopra'y lately and coming around this photo again reminded me of a quote I recently read. What a perfect day..


“Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real.” - Chopra

This is what the text will look like when we've decided to contribute some geniosity from our cracked-out brains.

We'll be able to post funny things like this:

i think we all fall into one or more of these categories.

And inspiring things like this:

be thankful, people! hee.

Anyhoo, I just wanted to put in some text and images so you could get a better idea of what the page would look like with an actual post. You can center your images, justify right, etc, etc.

Looking forward to playing blog with you all!
