Another beautiful day

What a good start to my week. I have two days of bootcamp workouts under my belt. I am feeling pretty fit. I have to leave those 100 calorie packs of snacks alone. The shortbread sandies...omg they are good for no apparant reason! I just might need rehab on those things. Lost a crown yesterday so headed to the dentist for an emergency appointment. Hopefully it won't hurt too bad. Feeling like Mary J Blige so..."Share My World".

Lisa and I at our first stop of my Taste of Columbus tour. The restuarant M located at Miranova Place. Cameron Mitchell outdid himself

New drink- Black Orchid martini. There is a black orchid frozen in the ice and I have no clue what the martini is made of but it is a new favorite. See all my reviews on http://vanitadiva.blogspot.com/

OMG the shrimp again appetizer was just phenomenal! The sauce is a chile sauce.

M restaurant-Cameron Mitchell

So today started my own Taste of Columbus. I did research and got what the Dispatch considers the top 20 restuarants of Columbus Ohio. First spot was M. It is located in the Miranova building downtown. Honestly up until this week I had no idea the place existed. It took me a while to find it nestled securely behind the courthouse. My daughter got lost as well and she is not as nice as I so she arrived cranky and fussing at the poor valet. We walked in and the mood instantly changed. The decor was just right elegant but comfortable. Michelle was our server at the bar. We met a great group of regulars. I started off with the Kobe mini burgers and Shiraz. Our bar neighbors were kind enough to let us try their martini that looked divine. It was a black orchid martini. It had a black orchid frozen inside a block of ice. I then had the shrimp again which is just insane. The chili sauce and the batter around the shrimp made me think of exotic places. This restaurant gets a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. I will be back.

At work

The first 48

What a difficult transition. Everything has changed. Only Jah can give me the strength I need. I have resolved to pack my tears away. I have cried enough for a nation. I can honestly say I feel loved. My friends and family have been so true. My phone though is dead and lifeless. There are some authors and movie writers that use the term "alone in a crowded room" I now know what that feels like. 24 hours to go to complete my first 48. How did I get here?
