until next time.


The sun set on the last few hours of our weekend while we sat by the beach in Santa Monica  after a relaxing weekend full of late night desserts, spin classes, catching up on our DVR list, barbecuing with friends and holding many cups of warm coffee.  If only weekends lasted longer and weekdays left time for the more important things in life (like late night stops at the bakery to pick out a chocolate mousse, and lingering in bed before a morning cup of coffee).

How do you say goodbye to a weekend you're not ready to leave behind yet?

two of my weekend favorites: biking and lots of coffee.

My weekend will include lots of coffee, developing some pictures, hopefully getting out on my bike, reading, returning a pair of shoes that just aren't working for me, a Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday with friends and maybe a nap (or two).


What are you doing this weekend?

rainy day.

Can't I just go back inside?

I love rainy days.  Rainy days at work, not so much.  As a kid I lived for snow days, and sometimes I lived dangerously on the edge. If I thought there was even the slightest chance it might snow enough that night and school would be cancelled the next day, the likelihood I would study for Mr. Mill's French test went down at least 50%.  I woke up 10 minutes early to listen to the bus report on a daily basis in the winter, even though I never took a bus to school.  If the buses were cancelled, I took that as a sign that I didn't have to go to school either (though it was tough selling my parents on that idea no matter how much I promised to clean while they were at work).  I liked school, but nothing was better than an unexpected day off to kick my feet up on the couch and indulge in a guilty pleasure (which may or may not have been "Passions").  I prayed for snow days until the day I moved to LA.

Since this is pretty much as bad as it gets in LA, and no one seems to know what to do when it rains anyway, can't we all just have the day off? Can't I just stay home, curl up on the couch with a book, a cup of coffee and a guilty pleasure or two?
