Where do I go from here?
How does MY heart go on, huh???
My soul is physically exhausted from the excruciating joy I felt at Leo’s win on Sunday night.
I have waited for this day since I saw Titanic for the first time as a booger-filled 6-year-old. Everything about him enchanted me & I have never let go of that feeling. When Julianne called his name, I thought my heart might actually burst out of my chest. It was one of those hurt so good moments, ya know?? I screamed, I cried, I terrified nearby animals, it was just everything I dreamed it would be.
I also deserve an Oscar for making it to work Monday morning as a functioning human being considering the circumstances.

Question: I love chickpeas but I hate tahini and sesame in general, so I never tried hummus. Can you really taste those flavours?

Really?? What a shame! Well, I’ve never had hummus without the tahini so I can’t say what it would taste like. Will you give it a try sans tahini & let me know?? I’m curious!

I hadn’t realised it was the Oscars until everyone on my Facebook feed started mentioning Leo’s win. Ahem. Out of it, me?
Anyway. Roasted garlic! IT MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER. Seriously, if they’d put roasted garlic on his Oscar Leo would have agreed it was improved.
