Scenes From The Weekend

My weekend was exactly what I needed. A bit of creativity, some fruitful productivity, and lots and lots of lounging around. After work on Friday, I spent a couple of hours in my former neighborhood in the city (Union Square) to sit in the park and browse The Strand Bookstore. I hadn't been in a few months and think I more than made up for it. When I got home later that night, we lit candles, brewed a a pot of tea and enjoyed a cozy Friday night in watching Netflix.

After sleeping for 11 hours (that's nearly double the amount I usually get during the week), Saturday greeted us with a few errands; first to the AT&T store because my blackberry finally gave out, so I gave in to my upgrade with a new iPhone, and then to the craft store to pick up supplies for an upcoming project. I spent the rest of the afternoon staining a wooden tray (the result of which, I actually dislike, so oh well), reading, and updating my budget for the next several months (not so fun, but necessary...the hair pulling photo represents my "oy vey" state while in the process).

Sunday was characterized by requisite graduate writing, a lazy home-cooked brunch and later, dinner, and (wait for it), more relaxing. We went for a walk in the afternoon for some coffee and to pick up a $25 chair I found on Craigslist. What do we think? Keep it as is or paint it?

I'm quite the homebody, especially as the weather turns, so this weekend felt wonderful. How was yours? Any tales of grandeur? Delicious meals? Funny stories? Do share :)
