brunch


Brunch has officially taken over my culinary desires. The only foods I want are ones that I can eat for brunch. After all, what meal is better than a meal that you can consume alcohol at? 

WATCHING: DOWNTON ABBEY! At first, I thought, "This show is really going to blow. This show is going to blow so much that I am going to want to cause bodily injury to those surrounding me." But then... then I watched it. And things changed. Although this show centers around what I would consider 'white people problems' ("Oh boo hoo, we might lose this HUGE 3+ story estate home and have to downgrade to a tiny, 2-story country mansion, whatever shall we do????"), it still has kept my attention. Most likely this is because all of the plot lines have the same amount of time dedicated to them. That's what I like in my TV shows - symmetry. 

READING: "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb. I'm only at the beginning, but this book shows promise in spite of the fact that it was an Oprah book club pick.

LISTENING:  a 3-part mix cd I made last summer when I went to the beach with my friends. I'm ready for summer, I think. I'm at least ready to quit having the seasons fluctuate so rapidly.

WEARING: a teal cardigan, peach colored tank top, an infinity necklace from Tiffany's that my amazing mom got me, jeans, nude suede flats from Old Navy.

WANTING: I want Sunday to get here so that I can go to brunch with my wonderful friend Jill. We are going to go to a local brewpub where they serve pork belly eggs Benedict, and have a Bloody Mary bar. It sounds like the perfect end to a long weekend and a good way to satiate my current brunch obsession. And the Bloody Marys... I can never pass up a good Bloody Mary. I've never been before, but I absolutely cannot wait!
