Perfect Weekend

I had absolutely the perfect weekend last weekend. I didn't have any morning obligations so I was able to wake up whenever my body wanted me to, I found a beautiful dress on super sale for an event I have coming up which also allowed me to spend time with one of my closest girlfriends (always a bonus), I got some laundry done, I was able to clean the house...it was just good.
Sweater Dress: Brand unknown ($11.50)
Boots: Aerosoles via Piperlime (giftcard)
Sleeves and socks: Target ($10.00)
Tights: Target ($5?)


Whilst shopping I was wearing this thrifted sweater dress which I'd found only a couple of weeks ago at Crossroads Trading Com
pany. I do enjoy that store. The boots were worn as much for comfort as fashion since I knew I'd be doing a fair amount of walking from shop to shop on State street. The just-this-side-of-chilly weather had me donning my trusty sleeves which are really socks that I cut the toes out of. Very handy for large sleeves that don't want to go in a jacket. Plus when it got warmer as the day wore on I was able to simply take the sleeves off.

On Sunday, G had a "thing" in the morning and I needed to work on some invitations for a holiday party my girlfriend (I'll call her V) and I host each year. This year it's a joint venture with the event planning company V created (and with which I am involved), VKH Events (www.vkhevents.com), but that just means that our own little party gets a little fancier and will see itself on the web site come January. So I hunkered down on the couch to watch romantic comedies and make invitations. That's a great day to me, to be sure.

Without G there I needn't worry about using eggs or dairy in my cooking (it's an allergy of his that keeps us from eating them regularly), so I whipped together this little treat for myself for breakfast. Organic spi
nach and potatoes cooked in a little olive oil on the stove top along side scrambled eggs with a little fresh Farmer's Market thyme and salt and pepper. Coffee and OJ on the side. Yurm.

And, also this weekend, our youngest, Thoven, found the joys of the bathroom sink. He's a beast but we love him. Here. Have a picture of our cat in a sink.
