Sunday Funday

 As my boss observed the other day I'm getting "funkier" as I get older.  I don't know if it's just the inevitable crazy cat lady thing starting to take over, or that I've only recently been uncovering L.A.'s hidden thrift store gems, but in any event I'm embracing it.  I spent today forming some new traditions in my new home: a new yoga studio, a new bakery treat, scouring St. Vincent de Paul Society thrift store for new (to me) things, watching movies (All Good Things), reading in the awesome backyard (which you don't realize how much you miss until you go years without one) and taking a long walk to see everything in my new 'hood...

Pretty boring stuff but the best thing about moving far (or at least someplace that thankfully feels far from Hollywood) is discovering all of your soon-to-be-regular haunts.  And sometimes the best way to get out of a rut is to scrap your old routine entirely and focus on the things that make you happy.  I've made it my mission to comb through every thrift or vintage store nearby and to eat my way through the new 'hood - being vegetarian really limits your options sometimes but my new area has a ton of restaurants geared towards veggies. I'm also obsessed with the Ecuadorian bakery nearby and their sweet "quesadillas" (pictured with pineapple coffee cake). 

What are some of your Sunday traditions?

Your Golden Girl,
