Hey guys! I have an itch to post something but the blog I've been working on isn't ready yet so I thought I'd just go ahead with another update of mine. I do enjoy my little updates. I like to think of them like the golden foil wrapper of a Ferrero Rocher before you get to the chocolaty goodness. Vanity aside, I had quite an eventful weekend full of absolute perfection and class.
Generally, my Friday nights consist of me at home buried nose deep in my laptop updating and or doing something else involving my blog or Facebook. But this Friday I decided to shake things up and go out for a change. The plan was simple: exercise our demons from the week by getting dressed up and going out. The night was our oyster and I had full intentions of rocking that pearl as an accessory. I was going to through caution to the wind and just go with the flow for once. Turns out, "going with the flow" is more like white water rafting, pulling you every which way and very unpredictable. My original plan was to just sip on cocktails with friends. But I ended up catching the last dance at a wedding reception and going to a midnight breakfast with work friends Autum Vose, Jeff Williams and Matti Archuleta. Pancakes, random moments and catty conversation. If this was what being young and care free was I had no complaints. It was two in the morning when we all had our fill and finally went home. Before going to bed I had a glass of wine with a friend who had come in from out of town. It was two hours later when I finally said goodnight to the world and fell asleep blissfully unaware of how perfect the night was. It was the first time in a long time that I stopped being who I was and just lived in the moment.
My Saturday night was spent with Lauren as we celebrated her birthday. She didn't want to do anything flashy or extravagant so we had a cookout and played a fierce round of "Apples to Apples". But what I found particularly interesting was her new undefined man friend. They were so comfortable with each other that they didn't need a definition. After all she had been through with her ex it was nice to see a smile on her face and a new light in her eyes. We had cake in the shape of lips with pink icing with a white herpes sore on it seeing how Man Friend wasn't too skilled in writing "Happy Birthday" with icing. He was attentive and sweet and out to make her birthday a special one. Judging by her body language, it was perfection at it's best.
A drama free weekend is exactly what the doctor ordered. It's funny how we sometimes take them for granted and get caught up in the stress of our weekday lives. Maybe just for a moment, even an hour, let's not think about anything and just live in the moment. And as we brave the dry almost unbearable at times heat during this Summer season let us all keep one thing in mind: Life's too short.
Xoxo.
