I completely forgot about my fondness for maple syrup until yesterday. The mister and I went out for brunch and I ordered french toast. Three huge, thick pieces and a little bowl full of syrup. I keep picking at the leftovers. gah. We had such a fun weekend! It started on Friday with a free screening of Kid Blue at the weekly Cinematheque Film Series at Brown, run by our new friend Colleen (who was accompanied by the talented painter, Buck.) Then a late dinner and drinks with said new friends, where it was discovered that during their time at RISD they lived in the building where I was born?! What the--?
Magically, after little sleep, we managed to get ourselves over to the farmer's market before it closed. And then to the gym. Also magic. Then a yummy lunch with my parents followed by Mad Men episodes, crocheting and not much of anything else.
Sunday, we resolved to hang up some art work. We promise to do this every weekend and it gets eclipsed by laundry, or dishes, or watching The Office. We procrastinated by going to brunch (where I got the afore mentioned delicious french toast.)
While waiting outside for our table, I absentmindedly pointed out a large dog walking by (we have a serious case of large-dog envy.) It, insanely, happened to belong to one of my very best friends from grade school who I haven't seen in years. She just got married! To a chef! She has a huge dog! And she lives two blocks away! After exchanging numbers, she had to run, but I spent the whole day grinning about it.
We did get around to hanging up art, mostly in the living room.
Its coming along.
Plus, we even did laundry. But left the dishes till today. Actually they're probably still waiting for me.
I know I missed the last Cricket Thursday. With all the election excitement I failed to take the photographs early and then Thursday was filled with rain. --Making it a very dark and icky day for photo-taking. It'll be back this week!
