A busy weekend led to a busy day. But I do feel recharged and inspired with some fresh ideas and dreams. Could this be a result of longer days and a few extra sun beams are charging up some brain cells… Or possibly a thrift store find got me excited… or a party mood got me recharged…. or maybe I’m listening to something that gets me lost in my own daydreams…
So this is a little blur of what happened over the weekend and today. I feel good and happy today and these events and things probably have something to do with it…
a little party for a sweet 1 year old
lots of laughter of little kids and grown ups too
hanging out at big sisters
leaving my husband to watch the Superbowl with his friends at our house
missing the travelling little sister (remember the one who’s in South Asia and Australia right now)
still at the sister’s, stayed up late talking once the kids crashed for the night
had the worst night of sleep ever, on the floor, but I’ve recovered just fine
packed up for home at noon leaving the kiddo for an extended stay
stopped at my favourite thrift store and was greeted by 50% off sale
yeah. a thrift store sale and a day of mom-freedom
brought some beautiful textiles home – I think I’ve just decided that one more room is getting a makeover
once home, I came back to find remnants of hubby’s party; the typical – pizza crusts, nacho chips, beer bottles and red wine also (fancy)
a surprise waited for me though
this whole cd by Gotan Project
so I’ve been busting some tunes the rest of the day (while working)
I’m so busy working on some fashion catalogues with summer product.
yeah – a promise of spring after all….
and daydreaming of what to do with this beautiful throw I just brought home (and a few more shopping bags of some thrifted finds)
now take a listen to these beats and see what I mean – this music will just take you far away
not to mention how lovely to listen to with your Valentine… keep that in mind as the 14th is almost here….
– ohhh and I’m trying to get used to having red hair!
How was your weekend?

Sounds great. So much going on. Did you say red?
We had a quiet lazy weekend but lovely nonetheless :)
so much happening on your end. cool.
I am loving this music video. it’s beautiful
birthdays really do lighten up life, don’t they?
How lovely to be able to browse thoroughly at a second hand store.
I normally have my kids with me at second hand stores and I pass them random toys every few moments so I know how nice it is to take your time and relax about it.
Chelsey,
I know what you mean.
Me alone – shopping? Never happens ;)
But aside from this lucky day, I do have 1 night of the week that I leave the bedtime chores to my husband and do some shopping therapy (that’s when I can go and kill a few hours at a thrift store, or even just sit with a cup of tea at the local Chapters and flip through magazines. My husband has one night like that also during the week. It keeps our sanity in check! ;)
