November 22, 2010 to sum it up
weekend = amazing.
why?
friday day: a spectacular misty, rainy, foggy hike. nature woos me. always.
friday night: fun shenanigans with friends involving some adult beverages and children’s games. think uno and cranium. and silliness. lots and lots of silliness. and early morning baking adventures. and late morning kisses and confessions with a certain boy whose name starts with the letter k…
saturday day: cafe gratitude with my mama. wonderful food, soul-soothing company. we spent a good hour and a half chatting over our late lunch. i realize more and more just how lucky i am to have the parents i do.
especially when the first night of hanukkah present comes a little early:
can i describe to you in words the excitement i feel over this book? i don’t think i can.
saturday night: a short and lovely close at work (with said boy!) followed by a long and lovely night paired with a bottle of wine, apples to apples, and friends. and more kisses. lots more kisses.
sunday day: mid-morning brunch with boy followed by a trip to REI for NEW CLIMBING SHOES. gorgeous gorgeous climbing shoes. happiness spilled into the late afternoon and a three mile run turned into an unintentional, complete zen 10k. then family dinner. and lots of laughs and good vibes. which was washed down with two hours of rock climbing in my new gorgeous shoes with gorgeous boy.
sunday night/early morning: i am an idiot. i got boy’s car towed. karma karma karma. the universe smacked me in the face big time. 255 dollars and a monumental lesson learned later the boy and i had a big, big two hour conversation outside of the towing place regarding us and the future. to sum it up: he’s in a good place. i’m in a good place. we’ll be in a good place. we’re taking it slow. i am incandescently happy. (and a jane austen fan).
oh, and i’ve settled on my tattoo idea.
really though, are you surprised? not sure as to where i want this but it speaks to me and has since the moment i saw it on my first solo adventure into cafe gratitude earlier this year.
so even though it’s raining and all signs point to gloomy, i can’t help seeing the sunshine.
how was your weekend?

Zoe! I have lots to say, so here it goes:
1) That tree is crazy, but so interesting and lovely. I love the green moss.
Haha! I need to find a good recipe to make for you, but I will hopefully do it this week.
2) I want to hear more about the boy!
3) Funny thing about the car being towed. My boyfriend just totaled my car last week. He’s not hurt, thank goodness, but it’s really disappointing and we had to have some serious discussion too. Now things are all better, thankfully.
4) You did some baking, huh? For me?
5) Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. I like that you are so happy. And, kisses are ALWAYS nice. Especially from a boy you really like.

Huba huba hotstuff. Of course you totally deserve this. You focused on getting yourself together and making yourself happy and now your life is so amazingly appealing that people want to be a part of it.
And I can’t wait for you to get your tattoo. I just told my parents about a tattoo that I secretly got a while ago. Scary, but very exciting.
