Take a back road

Bridal shower cake - 7/10/11

My first cake with Mummy's help.

Top two tiers lemon cake. Bottom tier, vanilla.

Stormy drive

Kishan picked Arti and I up from the Springfield metro. On the way home, we had the windows down and the music up. It's one of my favorite things in the world. Usually, I drive around aimlessly, either alone or with Arti but having the three of us there was awesome. And tonight, to top it all off, it started thunder storming. A dangerously fun ride home! Haha.

We made it to Taco Bell (yum!). This has been Arti and I's ritual whenever we come home from Baltimore. We go straight to eat there and then home.

Oh, Taco Bell is wonderful. And so are storms.

Let's do lunch

When I was younger I would hear people say, "let's do lunch". It sounded like such a magical thing. Meeting someone in the middle of the day to talk and catch up. I remember when I started saying it. Let's do lunch. And yes, it was as magical as I thought it would be!

I like the idea behind it. You do lunch with someone because you truly want to see that person. You want to catch up and engage in conversation, and if time and schedules permit, this meeting can extend late into the afternoon, even evenings. You meet them in broad daylight, so you can really see them. And when you leave, you feel that much more connected. No, it's not like breakfast or dinner. It's lunch.

And its truly something when afterwards you can say... That was good. Let's do it again sometime.

Jack of all trades, master of none

I have a new plan. And the plan is to not really have a plan.
