far far away.

what a weekend.
a long, drawn out, lazy weekend.
lazy, because we intended it to be that way.
my body felt like it went through the ringer this week, {thank you, ballet}
and i was craving some much needed down time with lovebird.
we almost spent every waking moment together,
minus lovebird's hours at work.
it's in those moments when you realize that
doing nothing with the one you love is far better than anything else.
it's as if you drift off into this land that seems to only exist rarely, due to 
the perplexity of life's busy schedule. 
however, when you do drift off... 
it's complete bliss.
lovebird and i managed to have a weekend of that complete bliss;
which included puppy shopping, barnes and nobel reading, lunch dates,
cuddles sessions, a tasty sunday dinner, back tickles and a long nap time.
sometimes i wish i could just permanently move to this far off land;
but, then i remember that reality is a good thing-
being busy is a good thing;
hardly seeing lovebird during the week can even be a good thing,
and running place to place, from thing to thing can be a good things too...
because it's when life grants you those moments 
of nothingness with the one you love,
it's then, and only then, you truly appreciate that land of far off bliss. 
our weekend was blissful.
we "flew" back from this far off land last night and hit the 
ground running with another full week of business ahead! 
the thrills of life are endless;
and thank goodness those moment of bliss are infinite too. 
the secret is: 
to embrace them when you get the chance. 

how was your weekend!? 
xoxo

  9. Thats such an honest and truthful post. We sometimes become wrapped up with the day to day goings on and forget that it's actually very productive and necessary. My life seems as busy as yours, but like you say busy is good. Weekends are great to kick back and switch off that alarm clock

  12. Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! I spent most of Saturday cleaning. Funny how much time it takes to clean a little apartment! Sunday is always fun day - church, dinner at friends' house. :)
