This Magical Life

It's time you found out about my magical life.

I do lovely things like attend Sunday afternoon tea parties. 

We had club sandwiches, chocolate chip scones, mini apple pies (the best crust I've ever made. I think it was because my ice water actually had ice in it.) and creme brule inspired tarts with strawberries. 

Hope and I were invited to my friend Natasha's home for this tea party. We had Orange Blossom Rooibos tea and Chocolate Mint Rooibos tea. Seriously, if you aren't on the rooibos train, you need to get on it. Fall is a lovely time to start drinking tea, in case you were wondering. 

Once the afternoon started to think about changing to evening, we set aside our delicious treats and took a walk around the neighborhood. We saw lovely fall foliage, dogs, and people playing cricket. We were a bit chilled by the time we got back, but we were greeted with a warm fire near the tea table,  which gave us the courage to carry on. We each had two more cups of tea and pretended to eat at least one more delicious treat. 

Once the sun set we realized it was no longer Afternoon Tea, but Evening Tea, which is not a thing we have ever heard of, so we decided to stop. Also, I might write a book entitled, "An English Tea in America: Proper Decorum For a New Age and Country," or something like that. I mean, I have time to write a book. All I'm doing with this magical life is attending tea parties and such. Well, let's just call it research. 

Fly By The Seat

Sometimes I'm a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of girl. Most of the time it leads to wonderful and delightful things, but recently it has also ended up quite expensive.

I was walking to the L with a co-worker, and as we passed a French restaurant she said, "Oh, french onion soup sounds really good right now."

I looked at her and said, "Indeed it does! Want to get some?"

So we did. And it was delicious. It was delightful! It was wonderful! The setting, the company, the food! All the food! Yup, that's right. I decided on a whim that I would eat french onion soup for dinner and ended up partaking in a three course meal. Oh well. It was amazing. It just cost more than the nothing I was going to spend at home eating my roommate's leftovers.

Career Change?

I was chillin' in one of my classes, when my teacher says, "Myriah, you should become a stand up comedian!" (I don't think she was being sarcastic...)
So, after much thought about quiting school, moving to L.A., and just pursuing my career on stage, i decided that i might as well duke out 6 more months and maybe i could put, "Willing to do amateur comedy routines at board meetings and around the office," on my resume.
I think that is the best idea i've had in a long time.
