so tired... but in a good way. this has been such an awesome weekend, i'm really bummed it has to end!
friday was a suck day. lots of meetings in the morning, made 1000000x worse by the fact that i had a raging headache and my face was flushed. have no idea why. but i was so miserably uncomfortable, when my one afternoon meeting got cancelled i headed home to work from there the rest of the day. got a ton done, and finally managed to muffle the headache a bit towards the end of the day... by the time 5:00 hit, every fiber of my being needed to be sitting in a pedicure chair, getting my legs massaged. i'd had such a stressful week, i just needed to be taken care of for 90 minutes. i emerged from the nail salon a bit more relaxed, which saved jack from having to deal with me being a stressball.
saturday morning i was up super early to clean the house and do some last-minute grocery shopping for a get-together with some of the philly peeps. i'd planned this over a month ago, to have everyone come over so they could see my gorgeous weeping cherry tree in full bloom... not only did the tree hold onto its petals for the occasion (it's raining petals in my yard today, so we juuuust made it), but the weather was a spectacular 80 degrees. it was a perfect spring day, and so amazing to spend it with loved ones, eating and drinking and celebrating birthdays and laughing. oh, and hooping! can't forget hooping! :)
the last of the peeps left around 8pm... by 9:30 jack and i were both snoring in front of the TV. we're such party animals.
slept like a rock last night, with the cool spring air flowing through the open window. aaaaaaahhhhhh. spent today in spring wardrobe mode -- i did my laundry, switched out all my winter clothes for my spring ones, and hit the mall to get a couple of colorful accessories to perk my wardrobe up a bit. now i'm ready for bed after so much running around!
i hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend as well... now let's see if the good vibe continues through the week!
oh -- and a few photos from yesterday:
