My Dear Friend,
It's a quiet evening here at the house. I am enjoying myself by writing and listening to A Charlie Brown Christmas. I know Christmas is over but I love listening to the sounds of a piano.
Happy New Year! I like when a year ends and a new one begins. Yes,
of course, I create new resolutions every year and also on my birthday. I won't entertain you with my new resolutions though.
However, I would like to share how my first few days of the New Year have gone.
January 1: I attended the Raiders versus the Chargers football game with my fanatic football fan boyfriend. It was a beautiful sunny day. The raiders lost which was a disappointment. My boyfriend is silly and I enjoy the time I spend with him.
January 2: I met my great aunt for the first time. She is sweet, quick on her feet, petite and welcoming. It was humbling experience. My sister and I are hoping to make ritual visits. My sister loves me so and I delight in her company.
January 3: I had lunch with my dear friend at the Chop Bar, a place I have been dying to eat at. It was utterly delicious. I had a garlic pork panino with braised pork butt, kale, chanterelle mushrooms, Holy Cow cheese on Acme herb slab. We also went to the local Blue Bottle for a decaf latte and a dark dark brown chocolate cookie to share. My friend is generous and is a foodie.
January 4: I spent the day at work. In the evening, I went to a friend's house. Although she was sick, I sipped on some beet kvass as we chatted away. I really enjoy chatting with her because she's quite inspiring, caring and loving.
It's a pretty good start for the new year.
Good luck in 2012,
My-Linh
P.S. I purchased a small desk in attempt to bring my
art studio together. It's still a work in progress.
