deep breaths...

sometimes your day is not going to start off great (it will take you a little under TWO HOURS to get to work because trucks flip over).
sometimes you will have to work with people that are completely fine with making you do all the work (and you will do it all - and do it WELL - because that is just in your nature).
and sometimes you won't get to spend just one weekend with your best friend in MONTHS because you both work too hard.

so then sometimes you just need to stare at pretty pictures of far off serene places (like Milos island in Greece) and make a mental note to go there someday because, oh man, you will have earned it.

have a beautiful weekend

i finally have a weekend at home! my biggest goal is to completely clean our apartment from top to bottom. busy schedules in the past weeks have really made this place kind of terrifying (like college boy apartment bad...) so i'm hoping to make it all shiny and new again today. (my life is so glamorous right?) other plans include: dinner with friends, more work on new fall pieces for the shop, reading, and relaxing.

hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

have a relaxing weekend

(aren't these sculptural knits by Nanna van Blaaderen to die for? i recently found them via pinterest)

this week felt very hectic and there was way too much going on most days, so i am most excited for the weekend to finally be here! tonight bryan and i get to celebrate the end of the medical year with a night out on the town with a cocktail party on the waterfront and then dancing! what to wear, what to wear...

then on saturday i'll be in hyper cleaning and packing mood - dear lord if anyone saw the state of our apartment! sunday we head out for a wonderful week away! don't worry though, i have actually prewritten and scheduled blog posts so there will be some rambles up on here to keep you all occupied ;)

what are you up to? hope everyone has a good one!
