Scenes From The Weekend


We mostly lazed about this weekend. A weird mood struck on Friday night resulting in a long, hard cry followed by a long, hard sleep. But damn, it felt good. On Saturday we woke with only an hour left of the morning and ventured to our favorite brunch haunt for a little something hot and a little something sweet. Hit the spot.


Closets were organized, groceries purchased, Mad Men season 1 concluded (I know, where have we been?). As the sunlight tapered off, we fixed a bread & cheese plate and ate it from a tray in bed. Man, I love Saturdays.



On Sunday morning, we walked the long way to the farmer's market. I felt nostalgic for the season even though it's still in full swing. Only two more weeks until Halloween, less than six until Thanksgiving, ten until Christmas. I feel like I've been living for my weekends lately, which worries me. The work week is always so busy and I'm struggling to find balance. One day at a time.

How are things in your neck of the woods? I'm aiming for a solid seven hours of sleep each night. A small but worthy victory if successful.

    A good cry can really help sometimes... I hope it did for you. As for living for the weekends? 100% with you, and need to get more sleep in the week nights. Let's see if we can both keep to it!

    Sorry you were feeling down?...but a good cry can be the best remedy sometimes. I'm also already feeling like the season is escaping me...going too fast!

    You know what? Tears are never a bad thing. It sounds like you got just what you needed this weekend after that big cry : sleep + relaxation + long walk + sweet treats. {Speaking of, I have to direct you over to my latest post because there is a photo of a macaron that I'm pretty sure will make you swoon... which is perhaps a way to help you get through a Monday, non?} XOXO

    This reminds me of the thought in Gretchen Rubin's book "The days are long but the years are short". For some reason I've been thinking more and more about it when my work day drags and I crave for the few short hours at home. I look back at the summer and wonder "where did it go??"
    Our lives are all broken down to weekends, birthday, holidays, anniversaries and other special occasions that we look forward to and we try to speed through the "fluff" or hectic time in between. It's art to truly enjoy every day and some days I'm more "artistic" than others. It's all good, as long you keep this thought in your mind.

    I guess it's the time of the year that makes us all nostalgic. You're doing just fine:-)

    I definitely find myself living for the weekends these days-work is just so damn busy it's sometimes the only opportunity to wash my hair, much less read a book or enjoy the day. Oye. We will find balance sooner or later.

    There's always Christmas break!

    I'm impressed. Also, it should be said that I eat 2-3 bw cookies per week. No shame.

    I need a regular sleep schedule again. I think I'm going to force myself up early tomorrow. Like WAY early. Maybe I'll accomplish a whole lot while I'm at it. I just can't help feeling like I have so much to do and so little time before I start the new job.

    I understand your desire to only live for the weekends. I think that's only natural. Lovely photos!

    Aww glad you had a good sleep after the cry. That does sound like such a nice leisurely weekend though. My favorite! I think we have to soak them up at this stage in life. : )

    P.S. I totally know what you mean for living for the weekends. I don't like it and it makes time go so much faster. You're right, one day at a time.
