Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that makes me happy: Hearing from all my peeps on my birthday.
Something tasty: So many tasty things this week, but i’ll have to highlight our Saturday lunch at Sweet Basil in Southern Pines. It is a delightful little restaurant, lunch only, and everything is superb. This time i tried an Indian-chicken-curry-with-mango-chutney soup that was absolutely divine.
Something from the bridge table:I think defending well is one of the harder things to learn in bridge, and this is where the more obvious differences are between good, experienced players and those who are less so.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: Made it through another year.
Something i am reading: Namaah’s Blessing by Jacqueline Carey. The final book in the latest Terre d’Ange saga.
Something happening around the house: Getting the house ready for guests.
Something i am thinking: Lance and i are talking about doing a 10-day Juice Fast/Feast. We watched a documentary named Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead that was particularly motivating. In the movie, the guys consumed nothing but vegetable/fruit juice for a full 60 days. Not sure i could do that, but 10 days seems do-able. It’s been on my Goals list from the beginning.
Something i am looking forward to: A visit from Mom & Dad Shull this weekend. It is a tradition that they visit each year toward the end of July for our birthdays. We’ve got a few interesting things planned.
Something i am hoping: Safe travels for loved ones.
Something random: I learned what a pencil skirt is.
Something planned: I need to take my car in for an oil change, which will usually leads to a surprise large expense with my 10 year old car.
Something captured: This week i was one of the lucky winners of an online auction of these unique banner bags. The proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake County. The bags are made out of banners that previously were displayed on the light poles around campus. I love it! There are only 10 of them.

Hey Audrey!
I just watched that movie on Netflix a couple weeks ago. It really makes you think about what all of this processed dead food is doing to our bodies. Good luck on your juice feast. Also, a good resource while you are doing this would be Steve Pavlina’s blog. Just Google Steve Pavlina Juice Feast.
Also, I have been loving your posts about the A Song of Ice and Fire books and Game of Thrones tv series. I am finally committing to reading the third book on my Nook. I have started it several times. Now that I am a couple hundred pages in, I can’t wait to finish it. It starts to really pick up. Happy late birthday!
