Black beans and strangers

By
Today I am grateful for two things.

One. Twice in the past two days I have seen strangers being kind to me. I got a call from a man who says he saw my name on our website at work and had to call and ask if I was 'the Claire boozer of the Snitzer family.' This man's parents are close friends of my grandparents. He not only knows my grandparents but also named my mom and dad. He lives here in athens and works with our office through referrals a lot. Small world!

Second stranger: Lindsay, Will and I got back to her car last night to what looked like a ticket. Turned it over to reveal a note from a stranger that said she used to go to Camp Sunshine and now is a counselor there. She saw the license plate on Lindsay's car and had to leave a note. The bartender said she freaked when she saw the plate and was so excited. We had just missed her. I searched her name on Facebook and found nothing. Still pretty amazing.

Second thing I am grateful for is that I won't have to work next weekend and instead work (currently working) today. I was not excited about eating yet another veggie sandwich from the cafeteria...but someone was looking out for me because today was black beans and rice day. I love that day.



Last bit of funness from Claire's life: A bird pooped on my head last night. Don't have a picture of that...sorry.

Athens and artichokes

Today I am grateful to live in Athens. ITs a small community but a great one. One where little ol me can get into the newspaper twice in one year. I'm not too excited about the photo they chose of me but there was no caption so hopefully the banner herald readers will not know it was me. http://onlineathens.com/stories/080210/liv_689380630.shtml Tonight Lindsay Will and I made paneer spinach and artichokes that we dipped in butter and bernaise. So delicious. And very round: Toby was quite jealous. He had a few leftovers, though. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone Location: Normal Ave,Athens-Clarke County,United States

Risotto and Sonny Perdue

By
Today I am grateful that I woke up to Noel kissing me on the cheek as he was leaving. Today Sarah, Cheryl and I went to the ribbon cutting of the MCG/UGA Medical School Partnership. It was not as much hot as it was extremely humid...and I immediately drenched the dress that Julie gave me. I have never gotten so many comments about a dress before. I am grateful to Julie for giving me some great new clothes. My whole outfit today cost about 5 dollars. That doesn't count the underwear...but you can't count that because underwear is expensive. I love this great dress that Julie gave me, bottom line. This is a photo of Cheryl and I fake cutting the ribbon before the actual ribbon cutting.  I know my posts always involve food...but I love to cook. I found this recipe in a magazine and it was all about green food. Recipes for zucchini, pea soup and then this one were in the article.  Who can resist a big helping of spinach and goat cheese risotto made with vegetable stock and...

Today, I am grateful to have a best friend in my sister. Today, of all days, I needed her. I needed her not only to answer the phone when I called, but to actually predict that I would walk into my apartment to find yet another ticket from the DC Police for my car. She must have predicted that, because she assured that my incredible care package would arrive on the exact same day that I would break into tears because I'm so tired of paying for things related to my car. Let me just leave it at that with the car because this is a place in my life where I only focus on the positive. What am I grateful for. Just to give a little more background, I'm guessing most of us can relate to receiving care packages at camp. My mom used to surprise me with them. I never knew when I would get one. And, when they arrived, they were incredible. But, what I always loved the most were her letters. She would write more than a card--a story! A story that detailed the lives of my siblings ...
