Things have been a bit crazy but I can’t say I’m lacking in variety socially.
I spent last weekend apple picking with girls from work (nom apple cider donuts) and brunching with a new-found friend, after which we perused the booths at a local bridal show. The day was so fun we decided we didn’t want it to end and nibbled on Italian appetizers while getting a late afternoon drink at Papa Razzi in downtown Wellesley (if there can be considered a downtown Wellesley).
This past weekend was spent celebrating one of my best friends birthdays at a deliciously down-to-earth fete that consisted of great food, endless drinks, dancing and something I do quite badly, bowling. Her lifelong friend brought her the most gorgeous and delectable birthday cake, I can’t say I remember what was in it but I do know it rivals my favorite Snow Queen from Rosie’s Bakery in Brookline. The following night what had been planned on a two person girls night became a much larger after drinks affair which was nice.
I was accepted as one of Yelp’s Elite Reviewers which excites me as I feel it somewhat validates my talent to capture my visit to a venue, whether it be restaurant, spa or boutique as I experienced it almost completely.
My significant other continues to help me grow in a way I never imagined possible. There are a lot of people that question the possibility of marriage, vowing yourself to one person for the rest of your life. I was certainly one of those people, but I never thought I’d encounter someone so poignant, deep, worldly and selfless. I don’t expect people to understand what we have or the way I feel about him, in fact most people express a great deal of doubt when I speak of my feelings. I do not allow it to frustrate me (for more than a few minutes) and at the threat of sounding smug, I feel sad that they’ve never felt what I do, or they too would understand instantly.
I dislike that much of the time the smallest tasks take me the longest to complete. Health insurance enrollment, ordering new contacts, refilling a prescription, retrieving my bike from its post where I left it in the hallway of the building where I work. How can I be so organized and on top of things at work that I allow the most mundane tasks linger unfinished?
I’ve failed thus far in my beginner culinary foray but this doesn’t bother me, I’ve been devouring book after book, shopping and dipping my foot into new activities like participating in a fantasy football league, more online shopping and finding the perfect, small and thoughtful gifts for P.
Now is the time I’d love to begin planning next summers vacation but I don’t want to do so prematurely. More later, happy fall.
XOXO
