Breathing Time

I cherish my weekends. I always have, but I love them even more now that Scott and I are both in school, working, and probably busier than we should be. All good things, but sometimes it's easier to go through a week and forget to stop and breathe - to look at each other and really talk, to check in with friends and catch up, and to just enjoy the little things and be totally present. That said, the weekend is when I feel the most "present" with Scott, my friends, and all of the parts of my life that don't involve school, work, or running around. I get to sleep in, go to the grocery store leisurely, sit around and watch re-runs of my favorite shows, sit on the porch and study, play around with Facebook and listen to music, take walks, see friends for lunch, watch football games with people and eat terribly, and bake cookies. 

This weekend, the highlight was probably Friday. Got out of class early, went to Live on the Plaza where I got to just hang out with two wonderful friends, one of which we hadn't seen in a long time. We got to hang out, look at cute and artsy clothes and dream of being adventurous, and be silly. That led to VZD's, where we listened to lovely music, people watched, and laughed some more...which obviously led to a 1am trip to IHOP!!! Fabulous...I haven't done the late night IHOP thing since college, and it was so fun to just be ridiculous and eat pancakes again. Hannah captured a quote or two from the night here. Good times.

It's Sunday and almost time to gear up for the week...but that's okay, because I got to breathe, so I'm good to go. So, here's to weekends!
