oh ya, it's easter!
I think I realized it was Easter about 4 days ago... funny how when you don't have some big family or dinner gathering around a holiday, it can easily sneak up on ya! But about a week ago I had planned to have brunch w/ Eric and his sister Natalie who just moved up to the city.I invited my darling Lyney-loo (cuz I knew her & Eric would have lots to talk about with all their yogi-meditation shtuff), and Eric invited Ali, who invited her pal Leslie - and next thing you know we had a fun little Easter morning brunch crew! yay!
Upon Eric's request, we hit Cafe Gratitude. An incredibly *new agey* place that the 19-year-old soul-seeking-me would have LOVED, but this morning I was like "damn, no egg's bennie, huh?" :/ I'm not sure I'll go back.. but I suppose it's 'neat' they got their whole deal goin on... all positive & stuff :). I do love the whole "you create your reality" mindset... and really their food is incredibly fresh... uh, considering that's what they're all about. It's all ORGANIC, RAW food. And when you order, the meals are in I AM statements. So this morning, "I AM GREAT" and my peeps were everything from PASSIONATE to MIRACULOUS. Ya, no fatty omelets there with a side order of home fries. :)
It was great to see Ali again... and finally meet her friend Leslie who is just moving to the city, too. Ali writes music reviews for TinyMixTapes, and is (apparently, although she has yet to be making enough money to support her habit) a frequent show goer and music lover as well. Eric knew we'd hit it off, and so we went to the Scissor Sisters show awhile back, but hadn't seen eachother since.
It was fun to see everyone and meet Leslie & Natalie. Happy Easter, everyone!
