It was a wonderful weekend. It was fun to walk around and do exactly what I WANTED for a few days, instead of doing things I HAVE to do like pay parking tickets and buy gas.
We ate. I window shopped. I wedding shopped and planned. I gathered general inspiration. And imagined what life would be like if registering at Jonathan Adler were a real possibility. (Oh! Look at that chevron rug!) The weather was perfect. And to top it all off I got to see so many kind and missed old friends at church on Sunday (Hi Erin! And Tim Jost!).
It was great. And I feel like a person again. Someone who has an answer to how was your weekend other than "oh you mean the weekend where I worked and slept and the only staggering accomplishment was showering before watching Project Runway?"
I had a totally bad attitude about the trip when I was rushing on the Metro to Chinatown with major exhaustion and a head full of heavy work and wedding to-dos. And when I was on the bus and realized I forgot my headphones. But Saturday morning as I sat on a shady bench outside Shake Shack waiting to meet up with friends I felt gratitude for a life which makes such moments a reality. And when I was blissfully meandering the streets of SoHo stopping in paper stores and searching out the fabric store Purl Bee for Annee I was downright giddy. I even documented the moment by myself in a photo booth (with props! Ha can't believe I am admitting this).
Anyway, enough of that. Life is good. And luckily for me, somehow my subconscious knows how to push me to do things that are good for me (like go places and see friends) even when my conscious mind would rather sleep.
Speaking of sleep... Goodnight!

I love that you did the photo booth!! That's great and I need to do that someday just for fun. It sounds like you needed this and I'm so glad you got to get away!
