simply beautiful
sublime is the only word for the world outside today. the temp is at 51 and the wind is still. From the back of the house four trees hold five nest and no leaves. At the top of each of the trees is about fifty birds yapping at eachother. Sitting with me is a bowl of Ox tail soup. It is the kind of day where every sense is alive.

better like this?
Something grand about waiting tables is that it makes me into a hoarse with blinders. When I am waiting tables, I get all this time in the middle of the day when I cannot think about anything but what is directly in front of me. So when I come home the article I read about elephants holding tender feelings cuts me much deeper then if I’ve spent the day thinking. It is so nice to everyday take a little break from whatever has recently plagued me because when I return from my eight-hour vacation I can write. For months, I have not really been writing but only trying. In other jobs, I never have the same level of immediacy that I get with serving. I crave the relief of not thinking about anything but someone else and their food.
Plus, I have food lust.

Hedonistic Christmas
This year
No gift giving
Yes, in the Davis household this year it is hedonistic Christmas. We are all to spend on ourselves, wrap the gifts, and then open them in front of the family on Christmas day (SO all of my presents will read For/From Hope). The beauty you do not get things you don’t want and it is cheaper. The downside…stop your judgment…as if we were celebrating the true meaning of Christmas anyway.

work//wok..r u ready?
Stubble ‘pants’ McMubbles took over three hundred pictures and of those 300 about 1/3 have me with my hands on my hips. Was I unhappy or disgruntled? No, but I look shiny. The rest of the pictures were blurry landscapes of cow butts, temples, ex-pats, rooms and JB looking like he did not want to have his picture taken.
We discovered a new weight-loss menu that includes soup, spring rolls, and bread. This diet will become famous and all the kiddies around the world will enjoy its dietary wonders. Every time that we ate of the soup,…the soup…was different…but it had the same name. This new diet will be great for travelers and smarty pants that want to say ummm and hmmm.
The best part of the trip:
Boddie pretend to be a rich Norwegian art historian
OR
Boddie repeatedly saying ‘inside voice’.
Toss-up.
