This heat in Connecticut these past couple of days was just insane. I don’t like it at all – constantly sweating and this humidity that does not let one breathe. I am exited for the change of season, fall, cooler weather, Halloween all this good stuff. I will miss the long hot summer days of course when it gets really cold but hey… these days were just insane and not comfortable anymore. This summer was definitely one for the books! We have been traveling since July 11th to Martinique/France, the U.S. and Canada. But as I said, it is time for a change. Change is good, wanted and needed.
Here are some things we currently love:
- What we drink: Well, being married to a Frenchi this is usually easy – Red Wine. I am totally into Médoc these days. Then again, gallons of water with lemon and cucumber. For my son: Water mixed with apple juice – his all-time favorite!
- Working out and practicing : Me: yoga and meditation every morning after I wake up.No excuses! And consistently practicing how to improve my writing. My son: Practices Yoga with me. So cute. He tries.
- What we eat: Me: Salads and healthy vegetable stuff; usually Tomato and mozzarella salad whenever it is so hot outside. My son: Anything pasta or rice – mostly plain – he does not want anything added. (WTH?) Then again, I made my own pasta the other day which turned out great and we enjoyed it with Gruyère on top. So simple, so good! [I will share the recipe soon]
- Reading/Watching : These days: Reading: Subliminal by Leonard Mlodinow, The Quiet American by Graham Greene and Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. Watching: Anything Woody Allen: My favorites are Annie Hall and Manhattan. My son: Reading: Where the wild things are and the Very Hungry caterpillar. Watching: Peppa Pig and Maisy Mouse in English.
- Traveling/Thinking: A big dream came true. We finally bought land in Canada so I am looking forward to starting the projects there as soon as possible. Also, I am excited about the ton of traveling and writing about it all I will be doing. Canada, Congo… our journey continuous….
Have a great weekend.
