from fajitas to cake to ale and back again

Time to catch my breath.

The wedding celebration/reception was amazing. We danced, we cried, we ate yummy cake...it was better than Cats. WAY better. My entire family was here and they seemed to have a great time, and just that made my year. I will not soon forget all of us on the dance floor getting jiggy to the Talking Heads' classic, Once in a Lifetime.

So now it's all about refocusing. I have been so off the healthy eating wagon these past two weeks that I fear getting back on is going to take some monumental work, but I can do it. Winter is kicking in, so I'm carb-ing up...I can feel my body craving bread, pasta and the like. Last night a somewhat stale jalapeno cheddar bagel warmed for 15 seconds in the microwave was pretty close to edible Nirvana.

Something about marriage makes me feel invincible. Open to so many possibilities. I married such an amazingly kind, generous, funny, talented, gentle, beautiful woman. I feel so lucky. Love deepens, love blooms. Hoaky as it all may sound, I remain the blushing bride, and hope the color does not fade from my cheeks for a millenia.

Here's to the future...good health, good lovin', and the neverending warmth of friends.

Now where's my lunch?
