Life Is Good

Yes, I love the food out here... who wouldn't love sushi on every block, fish tacos, and pure fruit+ice smoothies? Not to mention spinach+veg burritos, spicy pad thai, and yummy lamb kabobs? Too bad I've stopped eating flesh... I do miss the taste of lamb.

But, odd as it may sound, there was still some food from Muncie that I found myself craving. Oh, they have Taco Bell (fresco-style steak tacos... but again, no flesh) and Long John's (mmm... fish & chips) but what they don't have anywhere in this city is the selection of frozen veggies that spoiled me in Muncie.

Dunno why... szechuan veggies? Nope. Teriyaki veggies? No way. Peas w/no butter? Nada. Roasted potatoes? Unh-uh. It's even rare to find broccoli and carrots in a herb dressing. So my staple diet of rice+veg has been non-existent out here. Bummer.

But today, on a whim, I stopped by yet another grocery store and nearly peed my panties!

I totally forgot why I was eating frozen veggies in the first place, and that place was that I couldn't find my London staple diet in Muncie. Imagine my joy when I found exactly that- all the way here in Vegas!

Noodles, salmon, broccoli, spinach, red peppers in a light teriyaki sauce... Thai green curry, noodles, and prawns... szechuan noodles, salmon, kale, peppers... all prepared fresh with no preservatives in steam-cooked microwavable containers! Whee!!!

Even found freshly made lentils, crab cakes with mango salsa (a favorite from Baja Fresh), and yes, teriyaki veggies.

It's the simple things in life that bring such pleasure... eat well, live well.

Later that day, I was hit with a revelation... I have not been this happy since London! I'm healing, I'm becoming the woman I've always wanted to be, I'm surrounded by great people, I'm loving life, I'm having fun, I'm even going out on a date tonight! tee-hee!

... and it only goes up from here!

Already, Bradly is telling me how wonderful LA is... cute gay boys, the beach, 78 degrees, top down, wind in hair! Malibu Bradly!

I am so grateful and thankful for the changes have come... I love my life!
