This weekend I spent a superfun weekend in Philadelphia with my dear best friend from college. She recently moved to Philly, and this is the closest we’ve been geographically since graduation, so I was very excited to finally make a visit up 95 to see her. Unfortunately, the pouring rain on Friday prevented me from getting there on time for our dinner reservation, but luckily she had pizza, wine and OnDemand waiting, so we caught up and relaxed before falling asleep on the couch.
On Saturday, we woke up for a yummy breakfast at a nearby restaurant and trekked out to some craft stores to pick up supplies for our Saturday afternoon project. We were making “trifecta board”—motivational posters filled with things that remind us to be mindful of our spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing. We spent the whole afternoon shopping, cutting, gluing and crafting our boards. It was a lot of fun, and maybe I’ll figure out a way to show you all a picture of mine (even though it got in the way of a little merlot accident so the right side has an artistic purple streak). Dinner on Saturday was Italian deliciousness and then we had drinks with some friends. Most importantly, we made some late night Rice Krispy Treats (per my request), and we fell asleep with sticky sugary fingers. This morning, we had a delicious French toast brunch and then I drove home. I’m so thankful for such a close friend that I can always count on for fun, a touch of ridiculousness and good old-fashioned girl time.
Tonight I’m relaxing and watching Sunday night TV. Laying on the couch alone watching fall television has been making me miss my Pittsburgh roommate. She is the queen of TV, and for the past two years, she’s planned our TV schedule out by the night. I’m a little bit lost without my roomie, and I’m missing our Sunday night routine desperately. I’ve enjoyed living along these past nine months, but it’s nights like these that are making me lonely for a roommate. We’ll have to see how these next few months ago and figure out what to do when my lease renews in February.
(Sidenote: I’m watching Pan Am right now (I know, I know…instead of the Steelers) and I’m absolutely in love with it. Still mad at ABC for cancelling Brothers & Sisters, but at least they replaced it with something almost as fantastic.)
So anyway, I’m gearing up for this week. I’m hoping to have a little bit more structure over my evenings. I had to give up working out a few days last week because of a strained muscle in my ribs, but it’s feeling much better tonight so I think I can start to take it easy again. I also have several errands to run: returns at Marshalls, pick up my new eyeglasses, pick up roughly $100 worth of dry cleaning, grocery shopping and I’m in desperate need of new bras. (I’ve had a stray underwire poking me in the chest for weeks. It’s time for new ones.)
Goodnight everyone! Hope you’ve enjoyed TV preview week!
To new Greys, Housewives, and all the new shows,
Lia
