Email - 2 minutes

Sometimes I don't know how I am going to react in certain situations. Today I got an email from a friend and just kept up the conversation through email for the entire aftrrnoon and evening. It isn't anything complicated or in depth, just normal banter. It makes me happy just that it happened.

Salad - 2 minutes

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.
