Bits Of My Weekend
It’s not that I intentionally broke my goals. I just set way too many plans for myself without realizing that a person cannot schedule something to do at every hour of the day for an entire weekend and expect to do them all! But for not doing the two things I set out to do: go to a museum and a restaurant alone, and for spending so much time with wonderful friends – it was a very independent weekend. Saturday I had an epic day with my friend Lauren – I met her and the Brooklyn Flea for the outdoor opening weekend and we ate and shopped our way through it for hours. Hot damn they have AMAZING food now!! I haven’t been since they first opened. I would go just for the food now. Then we headed to the city to see, yes, Hot Tub Time Machine. Don’t laugh – it was awesome. If you can embrace your inner 16 year old boy, you’ll be good to go. Then we headed back to Brooklyn for an incredible dinner with other friends at Rye. If you go, promise me you’ll have the meatloaf sandwich.
So after such a long, exhausting day I slept in way too late on Sunday and realized I’d made a complete mess of the apartment somehow. I guess when your neat freak boyfriend is out of town you let your recovering inner-slob relapse. I spent the morning cleaning and slightly dying of allergies and realized I only had two hours before I was meeting up with Jenny in the city and I was so dang tired, going to a museum sounded like the last thing on earth I wanted to do. So I grabbed a sandwich and sat in the park on the water and made necklaces and napped a little. But! It was alone! And honestly just going to the park alone is sometimes a struggle for me. So, while I did break my goals, it wasn’t because I was scared, I just didn’t have time. I ended the weekend with Greenberg (bleh, we both agreed that Ben Stiller’s character was intolerable, but the main girl was The Best Ever and we want to see her in more movies) and dinner at Trailer Park (because I didn’t properly eat myself to death this weekend?)
I had such an amazing weekend that I don’t regret not being able to accomplish my goals. Next time! Also, while I had a good weekend and being able to blast Joanna Newsom and watch New Moon without eye rolling, I’m very glad to have Billy back:)

I love your ‘Bits Of My Weekend’ posts. Your photos are always great. Simple snapshots of the little things. I know this sounds cheesy but it’s pretty inspiring.

Isn’t it exhilarating to know you’re capable of existing independently? Recently I took a whole day trip alone and, while it was a teensy bit scary, I loved it!

Hee hee, is Wendy asleep at her food bowl?
I love doing things on my own: going to the library, walks on the seawall, cafe lunch, etc. Sometimes it’s really nice to not have to talk.

I am coming out of hiding to leave you a comment at long last. Maybe because your weekend bits were especially good.
First, lovely breakfast. I love how you plate your food, even for one. The food just tastes better, right?
That orange nail polish is exactly the sort of mood I’m in.
Cute Peter Pan collar.
Did you buy an owl? I have my eye on this: http://www.premiumsteap.com/p-251-owl-mug.aspx
Yummy berry bar.
Love your oxfords. I haven’t been brave enough for bare legs- yet!
Have a nice day.

I agree with you about Ben Stiller’s character in Greenberg and about Greta Gerwig. She is totally awesome and I dig her. You should watch Hannah Takes the Stairs. Also that last kitty pic is adorable

Lovely pics! Would you mind sharing the names of the nail polish color you’re wearing in pics 3 & 7? I’ve been looking for nail polish in that shade for a while. Thanks!

Feyi – the 1st is a coral color from maybelline (I think it’s called really coral, or something like that) and the second, which does not show up right because of the reflection of the sun, is Essie “tart deco” – it’s an almost fluorescent pink/peach.
