May to-do list!

image source

With (almost) a whole three weeks of no work ahead of me (and hoping it won't be more), I decided to take advantage of all this free time to do everything I have been  putting off because of lack of time.
So, here is my list!
  • Get my car checked - I am doing it today!
  • Ask for my unemployement check.
  • Buy and take care of plants - I want at least basil and rosemary, plus lots of flowers for my balcony and may be thyme. Sage would be lovely too (now I am thinking roasted chicken with potatoes and a touch of sage... mmmhhh....).
  • Take pictures of all the clothes and shoes I have set aside and I want to sell - and of course list them for sale.
  • Have a blood test - I have been putting off this for sooo long! I hate going places without having had my breakfast.
  • Go buy my veggies at the weekly farmers market! We have one every thursday.
  • Take lots and lots of pictures. The town and the valley ae so beautiful this time of the year. Everything is fresh and green.
  • Go visit a high school friend I have been in contact via fb, but whom I haven't been able to see yet. I'll make plans soon.
  • Study music. Then study some more.
And, last but not least...
  • Go to Venice!!! My cousin, who works and lives there, has invited me. I am going on the weekend of the 14th. Can't wait - last time I went was such a long time ago! I want to take so many pictures, it must be beautiful this time of the year.

Taking Stock

Image
  After a long hiatus, I decided to start writing again... I don't expect anyone to really be reading, but I just love so much going through my old entries, it's a sort of treasured diary. The image above was taken on April 25th (bank holiday here), during our bike ride at the Aqueducts park in Rome. Such a beautiful day! So much has changed since last time I wrote here, I don't know where to start. So I start by taking stock! Making:  eggplant pesto. As requested by my girl, who loved it last summer. I stopped doing it during the winter, as eggplant were not so good, but husband found some nice ones and as I write they are in the oven. Drinking : water and more water. The sparkling one, thanks! Watching : videos (youtube and instagram) on home and food organizing, fitness, and, of course, makeup. Love Love Love Johnny Ross ! Reading : Minimalism , by Gwyneth Snow. Will need to start applying the suggestions, though! Enjoying : working from home 3 days a week. Makes me even

BDIB - Arm Party!

Image
  This is my second time participating in the Bloggers Do it better series.  This time, the theme is " Arm Party ". And I am glad Kristina had this idea, because it pushed me to take out and wear my bangles...  I wore this outfit - it's an exact repetition, so I didn't take pictures.  And here is the arm Party! I bought the six striped bangles during my trip to Corsica, 20 years ago. They are six like the letters that compose my name.The brown one is from a store in Buffalo. The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!
