\"cupcake\"
\nI treated myself to this scrumptious cupcake from Frosted in Long Beach after a tiring client meeting two weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a quiet Sunday evening. Rama’s working in the office<\/a>, and I am sitting in our comfy chair in the corner of the living room, waiting for soup to simmer and pizza dough to rise. It has been a lovely weekend filled with family, friends and simple pleasures.<\/p>\n

We braved the traffic Friday night to go to my parents’ house where a delicious dinner and four tivoed episodes of Project Runway<\/i> awaited us. On Saturday, my dad and I made breakfast side by side, blueberry pancakes, bacon and eggs. Mom and I saw a chick flick<\/a> while Rama went for a swim. And we had an iChat date with Ricky, Brooke and Calder, my 2 1\/2 month old nephew. There was a lot of cooing.<\/p>\n

Last night, Rama and I had leftovers sent home with us by Mom and Dad, watched the end of Mad Men<\/em> and the beginning of Saturday Night Live.<\/em><\/a> We split a package of Smarties, shipped from my cousin in Canada.<\/p>\n

This morning, I met Sab at the farmer’s market. I bought two bags full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and she bought cowboy boots. Afterward, I picked up Rama and we went to the other side of town to see Christine’s<\/a> ordinary sparkling show in Venice. It was anything but ordinary, and it was so good to laugh with Denise<\/a> and meet another local artist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I sit here with aching feet and flour on my shirt, I feel so content. I have nothing big to celebrate and I haven’t had any earth-shattering revelations, but all the little things have made a world of difference. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
