Barb's Bistro

Good morning!

Whoa! Daring shoes, Amanda! I don't really remember you as a high heel girl (maybe that's because I only saw you dressed up for the classroom) but am impressed that you can wear them! More so I am stunned that you are not ailing from some combination of heel spurs or bunions or hammer toes that would prevent you from doing so. You go, girl. Love the bag! Shoes and bags: a girl's best friend. I heart shoes and bags.

I thought I'd write this morning before I get started on my brunch for one at Barb's Bistro, and also so that I might get back into a daily, morning writing habit this vacation. I have been able to click some things out lately but have been distracted--understandably, I think. The holidays--first Thanksgiving, then getting ready for Christmas, then Christmas itself-- become a priority for all of us. Anyway, I hope to write a little more over vacation since I'll have the time--at least until W comes down next week.

The Patriots play at one and I have a bottle of champagne in the fridge so I'm going to have a fairly typical Sunday as I mentioned above--brunch and mimosas. Only I have no school tomorrow, which makes today entirely different. After the game I won't be thinking about what outfit I'm going to wear and what I'm taking to lunch tomorrow. I won't be worrying about what papers I might need to correct or what I have to photocopy first thing in the morning as soon as I walk into the building. Yay me.Tonight I would take up an invitation (should one come my way) to visit with someone, or might even tackle a project or two.

I think I heart vacation more than shoes and bags. Maybe not. But the three might tie today with mimosas and brunch...

I hope you have another great day. I loved reading about your Christmas and am so happy knowing that you are in a good way, surrounded by those you love and enjoying the spirit of the holidays.

Love you,

Barb
