five senses sunday + monday

See.
-The Sunday morning ambiance of Antidote as we placed coffee orders to-go.
-What looked like cherry blossom trees in our Church's neighborhood. Is this even possible in Houston, TX?
-The [overpriced] visual feast that is Anthropologie. Johnny agreed to five minutes. I only purchased a small, white ceramic container with a cork top. $4.00.
-New art on my desktop - "It's Teatime" by seasprayblue (also on my Etsy wish list).
-Our bottle brush tree is blooming.

Hear.
-A little bit of Aradhna and The Welcome Wagon en route to Antidote.
-All bias aside, our Church's musicians are something else (I often catch my toes tapping together as I kneel at the Communion rail).
-Harley "talking" - he wanted to play with the nasty old shoestring. In the meantime, I heard Milo rummaging around the pantry where he ought not to have been.
-A really wretched Oscar montage - a supposed tribute to the Hollywood musical. Among the participants were Beyonce and two of the High School Musical kids. No.
-Flipping on the radio to pretty classical music. But I opted for silence while folding laundry, to ponder how the heck to begin my next Curator article....

Taste.
-Sliced taro root cooked in coconut oil and sprinkled with Celtic sea salt.
-Seriously, Johnny knows how to cook a steak.
-A big bowl of salad greens topped with black olives, raw pumpkin seeds, crushed flax crackers, extra virgin olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
-Blueberries & coconut milk.
-Citrus spice green tea for an afternoon treat.

Smell.
-A coconut milk-mango soy candle. I might have to revisit Anthropologie sans Johnny.
-Roll-on coriander essential oil at the Kiehl's store (across the parking lot). Loved it, but I picked up the necessary eye makeup remover and splurged on my favorite deodorant instead. Tough choice.
-I'm thinking anything cooked in coconut oil smells good.
-Almost out of almond Dishmate. Say it ain't so.
-A new bar of vanilla spice shea butter soap by my sink in the bathroom.

Feel.
-Burt's Bees lip gloss in "zesty red."
-Amazingly energetic after two mugs of Enfusia yerba mate (look for my review here soon).
-Pleased with domestic accomplishments: two rounds of laundry, loaded the dishwasher, and dusted our book-laden bedside tables.
-Determined to meet this week's deadline a day early vs. a day late.
-Excited to see my parents, our friend Jenny (maybe Christine), and the Nasher in Dallas this weekend. I get to hear Johnny play drums for Donna Stuart, too. A quick, fun trip.
