Made It through Day 2, War on Sugar

I may have passed the sugar bowl, but I did eat a fair amount of white carbs, and would like to change that. Good night.

TCOY

1. 7 a.m. support group. Felt a little groggy and incoherent but so glad I went. Step toward wisdom, balance and inner peace.

2. Walked with Sug to the brook behind Anne's and Mark's house. Sat and meditated. They have kindly said I can go there any time. So pretty and calming.

3. Made quiche with freshly shucked corn, arugula and thyme.

4. It was Girls' Night Out in Upper Montclair and I met Elly and Anne there. Fun! Beautiful things at Pink Bungalow, Rabbit Rabbit, Barbara Eclectic, Sweet Home Montclair and more. Loved Mary Marino's pop-up jewelry shop at Wade Maxx Art & Framing. And everywhere, platters of cheese, crackers, fruit, dips and cups brimming with wine, lemonade, ice water. Raw veggies, tempting bakery cookies [which I resisted]--and even pâté at Barbara Eclectic. Great raffles, too. Best perks: Gift w any purchase at Rabbit Rabbit [pretty scarf I gave Elly]; free $5 coffee card w purchase of 1 lb. Java Love coffee; and at Pink Bungalow, 15 percent off a $36 Lilly Pulitzer mermaid pillow with white pom-pom trim, which I've been eyeing for a while. Good to see Anne and Elly. Love our town.
