brunch at m. henrietta

Mmmm…

Here’s our order of sweet potato flapjacks from both angles before we devoured them:

That’s fluffy sweet potato hotcakes layered with maple mascarpone crème, roasted pecans and drizzled with a light sorghum molasses. Step aside plain pancakes!

A well traveled Jeep

…I want to meet you.

You must have some seriously fun, interesting and incredible stories- and I think we’d make a killer road trip pair!

hey hey hey!

I’m here, had a great Thanksgiving with friends this year, still lots of buzz and work for BLR going on behind the scenes and a bunch of goodness to be updated this week- finally!

update

I’m currently spending some very important time with a friend who’s going through an unimaginable traumatic loss. If you’re visiting here and wondering where my regular posts are, know that I’m using my BLR time to be with that friend right now.

2012 is coming fast and furious, so watch for the launch of the next phase of Blue Lollipop Road.

connecting

Ever have those conversations with friends that include “We really need to talk more and make time to see each other.” ?

Now is the time to do it.

click around a bit eh?

As I work behind the scenes of the next BLR project, you’ll notice I’m moving some pages around, adding updates, photos and more. I like to switch things up to keep them fresh and shiny. (Like glitter of course!)

Have you ever clicked on the “i” above in the middle of the photo reel above to read about where and when I took each photo?

I don’t like to use terms and words like hate, despise, etc. because I try to choose a positive and hopeful mindset about everything I can, but I have a confession; I REALLY don’t like the cold. I mean I totally suck at it. I’m living in Chicago right now so that doesn’t make much sense, I know. I’ve never dreaded a season more than I dread the frigid temps I will experience these next few months, but I’m determined to embrace it and be a survivor! There’s a method to my madness for being here and a reason for everything- even torturing myself through the brutal misery of The Windy City winter. So I will keep my goals in mind as I cuddle in and do my best to stay cozy warm while I enjoy all the amazing sights, sounds, people, places and things around this awesome city.

this just in: i’m human

I know. Alert the presses. Probably one of the hardest things I have ever admitted.

To say I have been running on all cylinders or burning the candle at both ends for years is an understatement. In fact, if you Googled “Balls-to-the-wall” (I’m so classy..) right now, I’m sure there’d be a photo of me there waving like a poster child for that saying. I’ve relished in the momentum and madness, I love a seemingly impossible challenge and I’ve previously believed I could be and do anything in 2. 5 seconds.  Well, I reached a spent point a few weeks ago:

site maintenance

Blue Lollipop Road will be doing some behind the scenes work and site maintenance from 11/1- 11/9.

Thanks for being patient while we take care of some business!
