Well today I met with a composer friend of mine. She is writing a children's opera based on fairy tales, but incorporating themes of rising above abuse and violence. It's an interesting concept and today we really worked through the libretto to make sure her wording was concise and age-appropriate. We met at First Watch in Kansas City. First Watch is not my favorite establishment, but they do have an amazing salad, Pecan Dijon. I highly recommend it: salad, grilled chicken, carrots, avocado, pecans, with honey mustard dressing.
Tonight for dinner I baked boneless chicken tenders (...maybe "shaked" them a bit too). I am splurging though tonight with yellow cake with chocolate icing (my childhood favorite). I have to break in my new Kitchenaid Mixer I received for Christmas. I feel I should name her....Julie...because I would never be so bold to actually name her Julia. The cake is cooling now and the house smells lovely.
I successfully drove past golden arches today and scoffed at them. Looking forward to next week when school resumes, and thus my regular schedule starts again. I think with having to focus more on school and homework that I won't be so bored and reclusive. I'm thankful for a wonderful school schedule this semester...only going to class Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. A four-day weekend every week will make for a happy Starving Artist.
All for now. I must now ice a cake. Thanks Julie. ;)
