First, Joe Drawsomethinged me an image of pancakes. And then I yelled, “Let’s go get pancakes!”
Friends, riddle me this: How many times does a girl have to eat the perfect three bites out of the center of a delicious buttermilk pancake to learn that even those three mouth-watering, delectable bites will probably send her on emergent trips to the restroom a scant few hours later while the Target pharmacist is trying to talk to her about getting all her meds to auto-refill on the same day of the month? I eat Paleo for a reason. And yet. Every. Single. Time.
Here’s what I love about this picture:
1. I haven’t yet eaten 3 bites of a pancake that are going to make me ill.
2. Joe’s hair. I mean, really.
Here are our shoes while we wait for a table.
I assure you, Joe does have another shoe attached to another leg just to the right, off frame.
And then, and I know this is really exciting for you all, I changed shoes a few hours later and put on these before we went out with friends:
You guys, I love these shoes. I really, really, do. They are orange. They are cork. My husband says they are sexy. Most importantly, I can walk in them and not fall down.
Also, they match the beautiful orange scarf I received while at Alt Summit from Jeannine Harvey direct from FashionABLE that is so near and dear to my heart. It’s a WinWinWinWinWin. 5 wins. Five.
The evening ended at Top of the Hyatt with friends where we imbibed cocktails and talked for hours and stared at the view. I love being able to see Emerald Plaza from up there (green rings far right in the image below).
Delurking after YEARS, because ohmygodyes! No matter how much I know (KNOW!) that non-paleo foods leave me certain I’ve poisoned myself a few hours later, that siren call of gluten and really good cheese will get me.
Really GOOD CHEESE! Jodie, you’ve named my other vice. I had to literally slap my own hand in Whole Foods away from a Cowgirl cheese wheel today. Thank you, me, for saving myself pain tonight. I think. Right? Right.
With really, really good crackers. Yes, you did the right thing. Sigh.
