I have been smiling since I woke up this morning… isn’t that strange? I’m on the train to work right now, and I’m still smiling. Let me tell you what I did this weekend, and maybe you can help me decipher the mystery behind the smile:
Friday: worked from home. Did laundry, cleaned up the house, watched movies, went to Friendly’s for dinner with my love.
Saturday: Woke up at the crack of 9am to cram for the Math MTEL test. Took the test in the afternoon. Got back home to Bertucci’s and movies. Practiced piano for a whole hour. Fell asleep on the couch.
Sunday: Woke up (still on the couch) at the crack of 8:30am. Borrowed neighbors’ SUV to go to Home Depot and rent a Pressure Washer. I spent the rest of the morning cleaning the back deck, front steps, front rock-wall (aka playing with squirty water). At 2:30 I cuddled up to a nice soft fleece and some pop corn to watch the Spain vs Netherlands World Cup Final (GO SPAIN!). Fell asleep on the couch again. Woke up at 8pm to make copies of my passports so I’m ready to get them renewed today at lunch. I also prepared a skirt “outfit” to wear on Monday. Went to bed at 9:30pm, wrote in my little (physical) journal, and went to sleep.
Monday morning: woke up at 6am, had breakfast on our newly cleaned deck, raked a little bit in the back yard (just a couple of minutes), showered, and got dressed/moisturized as I watched The Devil Wears Prada yet again (for the 6th time in the past week). Made it on the 7:25am train to work.
I don’t know what it is about that movie, but it really takes me to a different world. I should review it at some point. Actually, I’d really LOVE to read the book. I guess I’m just waiting until things calm down a little bit. I’m on a break from school right now, but it will start again in 2 weeks for just one more week and I’m DONE. After that, I have a couple of weeks of travel for work, and then I have to go full throttle on the basement renovations. I should actually be doing that right NOW… anyways… too busy to make reading a book my priority, as I would like to.
Whatever the case, I’m so happy right now. I am wearing a well thought-out outfit, I did something different with my hair, and I have plans for today: renew my passports, have lunch with friends (if they are available), and MAYBE do something this evening… although I haven’t really decided that yet… it’s kind of wacky and totally out there, and it’s not that close to my house… so I don’t know if I will… it really does sound kinda crazy… but I have the feeling I would like it. I don’t know… I’ll let you know what it is if I decided to do it.
Ok, I’m about to get to the station and lose wi-fi signal. Have a GREAT day!!!
