We went to Amelie for dinner in New Orleans tonight, byt it was closed, so instead I looked on foursquare for places and saw Carly had liked a place called NOLA. We went and got in. I ordered a salad that was absolutely amazing. Thw lettuce was mixed, it had pistachios and goat cheese and a basamic dressing that was just fantastic. I didn't want it to end. I could have eaten it the entire night.

Chat - 2 minutes
It's really a little thing but it makes me happy to chat with friends outside work in the middle of the day. Sometimes they get me through the day with their fun updates and random questions and little quirks. Sometimes it takes them a while to get back to me, but when that chat box lights up light blue with the green button lit up, I get excited. It's best when the chat is closed and the anticipation can be felt while waiting to see what is said. Sometimes it is so monotonous and non-exciting, but sometimes it is a fun comment or question or just knowing someone is there paying attention.

Beef - 2 minutes
Having just come from a sushi place to the butcher across the street, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted for dinner, but I did know I wanted it to be substantial. I had a rough day again and was just tired of everything. Looking at the menu there weren't great veggie options anyway, so I decided to get the beef short ribs with gouda mac and cheese. I hadn't had beef short ribs in a while and the last time I had them when I was really craving them, I didn't so much enjoy them. This time was different. The meat was absolutely perfect and the au jus was amazing. I split the meal with a friend and she enjoyed the larger portion of meat, but that was just fine. The beef was so tender it just fell apart and the mac n cheese was creamy and tasty.
One word: Remember
You ever have those times that after something has ended or a friendship has evolved you start to remember what was? Like that one time you did that, or went there, or read that, or had a conversation about that. It's weird how so many things weave their way into a life and when that friendship evolves or changes. You start seeing that person's name in books or on signs. Their favorite song comes on the radio and every time you show up somewhere, you remember the last time you were there with them. It's been happening to me all the time lately. Mostly when I least expect it. Yet it has still been that. And I can't say it's all been bad. There are times I've remembered that I thought I'd forgotten. It's amazing when you get so introspective. I think I'm going to try and write them all down sometime. Even if they are just one a at a time. They are worth remembering, even if those were good times and they are over for now. They were still fun while they lasted.
