WHAT IS LOVE?

The other day my friend Ping's 5 year old son turned to her and said "Mummy, what is Love?" but you know in Chinese..."Just a kiss on the cheek is enough to tell me you love me". i thought that was super cute. AS A 20 something year old living in the city obsessed with SATC it's easy to get caught up in the meaning of love, and how many 'true loves' you get, and how to make love last and all that bull shiate. Maybe it should be just as simple as a kiss on the cheek. Our lives are complicated enough without defining and analyzing every moment and emotion. I love a lot of things, for instance, I love long runs, the first sip of a soy chai late, the comforting feeling of warm sunshine, laughter of my friends...having those in my life is love. or bliss. or whatever.

Long weekends are fantastic. Fantastic because when I get off work on a Sunday night after working a 40 hour weekend, my friends are eager to go out, and not tucking themselves into bed ready for the work week. This weekend I enjoyed a night out with the new boy, my long lost schools friends and my new work crew at the Pogue. I had a real lovely time, spilling my wine all over myself, showing off my new baby pictures - cervelo p2sl, and catching up with my peeps. And after a lazy Monday morning I combined forces with the boy, the ex, and the other ex's friend for a friendly 40K bike ride. Nothing like bicycle riding to bring people together.
Oh, and I may have found my new favorite restaurant...magic oven. gluten free rice pasta and pizza dough, vegan cheese, organic fair trade coffee...and a sandbox in the restaurant...well some people would call it a zen garden, but ya know, who's to say climbing in and making sand castles isn't ZEN?
