Bits Of My Weekend
As always, you can click on the photos to read (possibly) more info on flickr!
The weekend started with us in a bit of a grumpy rut, I will admit. Just one thing after another not going right (though there was a tornado threat, which was exciting/scary.) But Sunday Billy made us get up early early early for our run, and we tried out the new park across the street. We missed our run last week for the first time, and I forgot how amazing it feels. Well, later on, not in the moment (blazing heat, while nuts to run in, makes you sweat off toxins like I never knew possible). We were energized after this, and cleaned our going-to-hell-messy apartment, helped each other finish projects, and I went and got my haircut when Billy went to work. I got caught in a crazy rainstorm, but something about it felt amazing – me on Saturday wouldn’t have handled it. I came home (with a very free neckline) and kept my ass kicking up – the temperature FINALLY went below 80 – made tons of necklaces and finished little things I’ve been putting off forever. I turned the a/c off, opened all the windows to let the breeze in, and watched the sunset. It doesn’t always work out like that, but sometimes when you get up early and grab control of your frustration and restlessness and tell it you’re not taking it’s shit anymore, it does wonders.
Also, I saw Inception again. I never see movies twice in the theater, but it’s just that good.

Inception was such a good movie! I’m glad I went to see it even though I was going to be freaked out a bit afterwards :D I’m not much for scary/intense movies…
Also, I love that nail polish you have pictured above! What a fun color!

This is perfect.

The only thing I did not like about Inception was the way they styled Ellen Page’s character (Ariatne?) — everyone else, in their dreams, wore sharp suits and MC wore beautiful gowns — why is EP still slubbin around in hoodies and cords?! I understand she’s a college student, but still … I think she got shafted!

I have been trying to talk my boyfriend into seeing inception again, I feel like I want to see it again now that I know the end! I had a similar busy Sunday after a failed Saturday, Im glad you got to open your windows and let your frustration go.

This was a great read, I’m glad you turned the weekend around and owned it. I need to do that, i can feel the frustration/procastination spiral building… I think a good workout will help me too :) A thunderstorm would also be appreciated!

Ditto about Inception being that good. And ditto on the geranium nail polish. Cept I have it on my hooves, not my claws.
Also, the haircut *rocks.*

I’m a fairly new reader of your blog, so I’ve only experienced maybe a couple “bits of my weekend” posts. I wanted to share how wonderful I think this idea is, for memory’s sake. I’m a bit of a sentimental, so the blog that I have has been a bit of a way for me to see growth and change in myself. I like that you’ve found a way to encourage yourself to reflect. Maybe a small personal goal? Take photographs to savor little bits.
