10 things
Ten good things to get the weekend rollin’:
- playing dress up with veda. she likes to put on my gloves and wave her arms around. (I wonder if she’s mocking me.)
- happy accidents
- my friend shari sharing this essay again, which i loved.
- this video, which was passed on to me by my friend carolyn:
- finding a bright orange knit blanket at a thrift store for $5. using it to make tunnels in the living room for veda.
- feeling comfortable on the phone with my sister-in-law. (it’s not the sister-in-law part I’m uncomfortable with generally, it’s the talking on the phone part. I just don’t like it.)
- holding my sick girl as she slept last night… not getting much sleep myself, but feeling the sweetness of motherhood as I held her close.
- bowls of spicy chili.
- working on a personal project (the first one since I was pregnant) and not know if it’ll turn out or not… fingers crossed.
- yoga training this weekend. we’re focusing on back bends and i’m a bit nervous about how sore I’m going to be, but excited to soak it all in.

Have a good weekend, all!
hi there.
i like your list and am glad you enjoyed the essay again. you and little v are such cuties in this photo. i went to my yin yoga class this evening and thought of you. the happiest of weekends to you! xox

Great list, and I love the video! I had the wonderful opportunity to see Elizabeth Gilbert speak about the book, “Eat, Pray, Love” at an Oprah taping (actually, there was so much good stuff, she taped two shows that day with Elizabeth). She is so inspiring! One thing she said that I will never forget is when she was talking about having a breakdown and writing to recover from it, “I wrote a ladder of words to get me out of the hole.” Whenever you feel down, you can start to paint/create your way out of your hole. Have a great weekend!
What a beautiful photo of you and your little one!
sweet photo love the hats
Glad I’m someone you can talk to on the phone…somewhat comfortably…:) Call me anytime. Loved the chat. Excited to see you guys this weekend!!
