All things good...

By -
It's been a good couple of days despite the rain. My car that horribly fell apart pulling into my driveway is now fixed! Spring is this weekend, Spring break is in less than 2 weeks! Florida\Sunshine\Twins Baseball\Pool\Beach\Bliss.

The highlights of the past week included:


La Boheme at the MN Opera. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was funny and sad and sappy. Am I an Opera convert? I believe I just might be!




Last night T and I went to The Dancing Ganesha Indian Restaurant. We had a $50 Gift Card to use and we did not hesitate to use it. My favorite was the Chicken Keelgiri Korma, chicken chunks cooked in a coconut curry sauce with cilantro and chillies. We loved everything we ate, and we got a ton of food!



I also had two of these:


Mango Mojitos!

Gossip Girl is back... my horrible guilty pleasure that my 33 year old self watches without hesitation. I did not really like last nights episode. The whole Chuck finding his mom part is boring. Move on. What I really want to know is, When are they bringing the real Chuck Bass back? This one dresses too conservatively and is losing his edge. I'm Chuck Bass. Own it!

Indian food is my favorite kind of food.
But I can't relate to you on the whole opera and Gossip Girl stuff. I've never seen an opera and I can't watch tv shows with the initials G. G. Because G-G means wiener in Chinese.
Which sucks because I've heard good things about Golden Girls and Gilmore Girls.

I agree, Chuck is altogether too whiny lately for my taste. I do think his mother is up to something.

The finale episode at the hospital was amazing, the ones since then have not been as good.

I've never watched Gossip Girl...but I hear good things about it. Maybe once I finish watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager on hulu, I'll switch over to Gossip Girl. Wasn't it originally based on a popular book series?

Chuck found his mom?! Wait, are you talking about Gossip Girl, or our favorite blundering spy Chuck Bartowski from "Chuck"? HUGE difference!

Mmm Indian food. You just reminded me that in the 9 months I've lived in a new city, I have yet to try Indian cuisine here. Better get on restaurant.com!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
