Days go by and still I think of you...
Yesterday I took a walk for lunch. I left my brand new loft, hopped into the talking elevator and went down 7 stories to the street where I was greeted ever so warmly with the beauty of a spring afternoon.
I walked from Cold Storage to the City Market, being as it's a simple 5-minute walk from there. And I started to browse the shops on my way to Cascone's for a tasty brunch style meal. Sadly most of the stores are not open on Monday's, but the City Market Coffeehouse was. So I went in and checked it out.
What a cool hole in the wall sorta vibe. It's small, with all brick around. A woman was in the back corner roasting the store's beans -- always a plus. And there are two stories, one above and one below, that allow for extra seating. And since there is free wi-fi access, if I get a little bored in my place, I can pop out for a nice cup of a fine brew and work there.
Needless to say, I didn't make it to Cascone's. I stayed there and got a Club sandwich and an apple for lunch, just soaking in the mood -- this urban mood.
There are so many places I want to check out, and I love all the ones that I've come to enjoy so far. The Chinatown Food Market is a place I plan to frequent quite, well, frequently. And it's right across the street from Cold Storage! *grins*
Honestly, I feel like a fish-out-of-water, but I love living downtown. I have access to a great many things that I didn't before, and I feel like I'm actually a part of Kansas City. I'm no longer a distant Johnson County boy.
I am a professional web designer, living in a loft in downtown Kansas City. How friggin' cool is that?
Still...I miss some things about Kansas. Namely the woman I adore, Pandia. My life is going so fast I can harldy hold on, and her life is engulfed in finishing school, so we rarely see each other. I miss her so much. The time I get to spend with her is so precious right now, I'd give anything to take the hour I spent with her last night and make it last forever. That hour was gone in the blink of an eye.
I do get to see my girly this weekend. She and I are having dinner with my mom when she comes in town on Friday. Saturday morning we're all going to breakfast at the City Market Coffeehouse. Shh, it's a secret. They don't know yet. But after that, the lovely Pandia and I will spend the rest of the day downtown, doing whatever the wind implies.
I love her. I can't wait to see her. She's the thing that keeps me from freaking out about life. As long as she can sit there calm and telling me everything will work out, I know my insanity is simply that, insane.
She's my favorite.

My friend, the professional webdesigner that lives in a loft downtown. I gotta tell ya... that fits a lot better than being a professional webdesigner living in an apartment in JoCo (or in a house in Roeland Park) ;)
Congrats on your move and your new cultural, official Kansas City digs. I still need to come see it all. I'm still hoping to work out Sunday Poker Night (Casino Royale style - love that movie). I bought Big Fish today, speaking of movies (another favorite).
And speaking of favorites, girls that are favorites are great! Especially the ones that make the world go 'round when all it seems to be doing in bearing down on you, and make the world stand still when it's going all too fast :)
Here's to favorite girls!
we're going to visit those lofts today. i was looking on google and found this blog. reading your entry made me want to go even more!
