Inspirational Quote

This morning I got a great email from Sean that included an amazing quote which I wanted to share!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Nelson Mandela

I want to take him home!

Today at lunch Sarah, Katie and I went to the Washington Street Kennel and looked at puppies. I instantly fell in love with this adorable golden and want to take him home so badly!! Isn't he cute??

I think he is saying.... "please take me home!!"

playing (afterthought - shouldn't have sat on the floor in there considering I saw another dog poop on it 10 minutes later)

kisses!

such a cutie! I want him!

Crepes & Crepes!!

In honor of Mardi Gras (and in keeping with our $20 lunch tradition) Sarah and I went to Crepes & Crepes today for lunch. It was one of the most delicious meals I've had in a long time!

This was the savory crepe I had, it was basically a margarita pizza in a crepe!

Since it is fat Tuesday we also decided to share a Nutella crepe & got it for free thanks to our witty waiter.

I can't wait for my next Crepes & Crepes experience, only next time it needs to involve wine!

Friday Sushi

For the past few weeks I have been Sushi obsessed and a pattern has been forming. Pretty much every Friday a few of us at work go to sushi for lunch. Usually we go to this place called Chopsticks but today we went to Sushi Han. The roll below is a California roll with spicy tuna on top! Delicious!
