leave the house today

because i'm not sure if i will.

the plan was to sleep late. window shop a few stores at utica square. hit a movie before noon. shop and cook a few treats for the fam rock band get together tonight (tapas style meatballs and brownies from scrizatch). (and pray for no media calls on the event today).

instead harp and i woke up at 7:30. eyes wide open. i'm on the fence about the reader. and what do i find on cable but a 24 hour marathon of the show i got obsessed with in late summer 'Spain...On the Road Again." i've made many of you watch the trailer. and i'll make you again. this makes me happy from head to toe. i think because i love to travel yet haven't in many years. i want to be gwyneth paltrow. to cook like mark bittman. to have mario batali as a friend. and be as hot as claudia bassols. i want to be cool enough to be on this road trip.



even though this series aired on oeta / pbs we didn't get it here. so i had to download them each week on itunes. then watch them on my crappy computer. and with 13episodes i just couldn't keep up.

so, you should probably leave the house today....because instead of writing something wonderful like bittman, cooking something scrumptious like mario (unless the meatballs turn out bomb), work out for two hours like gp or....just be hot like claudia....i'm making a pot of coffee and parking on the couch for 6 or 8 hours.
