All day long I worked my butt off today. I came home from work, and started to do more work. At seven thirty, It hit me, I was hungry. For weeks, my creativity has been a bit stifled. My cooking has been boring. I lost my inspiration.
Tonight, I had a break through. As I was reading my workbook it talked about the importance of nurturing, of taking care of yourself, and also allowing others to take care of you. (The latter is a very difficult concept for me.). I realized that by working myself to dust, I was not taking care of me. I put the manual away, and decided I needed to find a relaxing comedy, and quick.
I got on Netflix and scrolled down the list of movies. Boring, Boring, Boring. No thank you. Finally, One stood out amongs the hundreds of comedies I'd already seen and wasn't in the mood for, a classic- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
I'm a girl! I wanna have fun!! I thought to myself. And so I did. I started the movie, and like magic ideas came to me for cooking- a sweet and savory BBQ salmon filet on a bed of pasta with citrus and garlic sauteed veggies, with just a dash of cheese and home made white sauce drizzled over the pasta. For a moment I worried. Had I created a balanced dish? Was it too many flavors?
No, it was perfectly balanced, tangy, and refreshing. If only I wasn't too tired, I would make some dessert. But after a sleepless night last night, I think its best I go to bed early. Me and my Nicky had a great FHE, and I think we both had some fun.
