my headache is gone. sorry for my absence. i took a break from computer screens. i had a couple days off from work, and decided that possibly the cause was too much fluorescent light and computer screens. it may not have been, since the headache carried on until saturday, but it's gone now. thanks for the advice!
this week promises to be mellower than the last few which is really nice. over the weekend, i had a couple spa treatments done--facial, reiki, vichy. they helped too. the funny part: molly doesn't lick faces for the most part, even if you ask her to. when you are sad, she will lick your tears, or once in a great while you get a random surprise from her. the facial i got was organic and food-based; it smelled just like apples, in a mouth-watering way. when i got home, she kept licking my face! it was so funny. i guess that's proof positive the products were super food based.
we need to get moving on some wedding stuff; we've been a little stalled lately. we need to book our plane tickets and lodging and send save-the-dates. i think we've both just been feeling so busy lately we have no energy left over for wedding stuff (it seems we trade days of late hours/busy-ness). on friday i spent part of the afternoon making one of my childhood comfort foods for dinner: my mom has this recipe for homemade mac and cheese (and also chicken and celery and pimiento) that i had been craving. since william has been taking the lion's share of cooking, i thought i'd kick in and share a family favorite. it turned out like mom's! i was pretty proud. then william had to work late, and i fell asleep on the couch around 7 pm! but when he got home we had dinner anyway.
this weekend though, we did one of our favorite things: just bumming around town together on a sunny afternoon. we hit up the st. paul art crawl, and i bought a photo i really love from someone showing in the same space william did. we stopped by one of our favorite vintage shops and i bought some small glass jars too. they're bright blue and have these cool bubbley tops. i'll post pictures--we finally found our camera charger--hooray!--so there will be photos to come, just not tonight since it's getting late.
overall a good weekend, although the crappy weather that persists does nothing for a girl's mood. it's been dark and rainy and cold and crappy, and i know it's just the way it is, but i'd like a little more sunlight.
clearly i'm in a little bit of a blogging rut tonight, so i'm gonna cut bait.
