Friday 7 Quick Takes (vol 33)

1.


Alan is taking me to my first NBA game tonight! The other night he commented, “How sick is that this will be your first NBA game and you get to see the Big Three?”

I excitedly agreed but totally had to later google who the Big Three are. I knew only one by name and only because it was such a big stink when he left Cleveland for Miami.


LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh

I feel very blessed for the close friends I have. I feel beyond blessed to have my bestie as my surrogate sister. Earlier in the week I commented to her crabbily that I finished the last of my dark chocolate orange bar and wished I had some chocolate on me. Shortly after I walked away from my office for a bit to come back to a delivery from an Austin cake ball business (aptly named Austin Cake Ball). There were chocolate balls and (wait for it….) DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE BALLS waiting for me!

What did I do to get so lucky to have such sweet people in my life?

We had our annual work cocktail party this week. It was my first since last year I missed out as I was still working an additional night job. Apparently they have a longstanding tradition of the ladies taking a photo sitting primly on the love seat in the ladies’ room. I don’t know about the previous years, but we did not sit very primly on that tiny love seat.

I love Steve Martin as a writer and am reading my fourth book of his. I loved this line: “In spite of their odd beginning, he was deciding not only that Lacey Yeager would make his life wonderful, but that her absence would make it tragic.”

I want to be with someone who thinks the same of me.

My nervous smile:

I wanted to come up with a clever DJ name for myself to use as a caption for this photograph. Everything I came up with sounded cheesy.

Alas, I’d never be cool enough to pull off being a DJ.

This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ pizza for breakfast ♥ Board Game Night ♥ surprise deliveries ♥ free dessert at our downtown sushi joint ♥ doggy kisses ♥ making friends at food trailers ♥ food trailers

Question: If you were to choose a DJ name for yourself, what name would you choose?
