I like things in 3's...morning, noon, night, / days, months, years, / past, present, future...nice complete packages. Good things come in 3's, or is it, good things come to those who wait? No matter, both apply. I've been waiting to start this blog for a long time and here I begin with my very, very, very first post...sweet!
Beginnings
Michael and I just finished lunch at 'Plate' (great name for a restaurant) in Ardmore. It was only a month ago that I noticed these big white letters on the windows of Sweet Green, a little cafe across the street from where we're standing now.
Intrigued, I got closer
and closer
They were resolutions!...an entire window full of sticky notes written by patrons, all proclaiming their hopes and desires for 2012. Personally, I no longer make New Year's resolutions, not that I don't have my own crazy rituals, but I do share with others the great sense of optimism and anticipation that comes with the start of each new year and for the promise that lies ahead.
Here's one that shares my view...
While I didn't write it, I've colored it, and started to make it happen.
Middles
Middle of the day...my middle (waistline)...we're off for dessert. Chocolate cookies, cakes and pie, my favorite sweet is frozen yogurt. Philly has a number of places...Tutti Fruitti, Kiwi, Phileo, Yogurt City, Scoop Deville and Sweet Endings. The Main Line has a few that I know of...Kiwi, Whirled Peace, and this place...
Oh so fun it is! Grab a cup. It's all self-serve. You control the taps (handles). You control which flavors, how much and how many. When it comes to toppings and hot fudge sauce, that's where I lose control...double yum!
Not only are these places fun but cute as well.
So fun has hot green walls and hot pink chairs, neon colored plastic spoons and cute little characters like this about the place.
Word is a frozen yogurt place is coming soon to my neighborhood, in Jenkintown, at Noble Square. It will be called U-Swirl and since we have zero frozen yogurt places in the area, I am swirling with delight.
Endings
After a day of eating and fun, I chose to flake in my favorite spot...in front of the computer. I found this playful site called Contact Sheet where you can create a ransom note of your own. Try it here. Here's mine...
It worked!...a perfect ending to a perfect day.
Before exiting, I leave you with this question...
Are you hoping to begin something new?...already in the middle of something?...or just looking to wrap up loose ends? Share one or all of your 3's.
May all your beginnings, middles and endings be sweet ones.
