New Approach

Since I seem more pooped lately than usual, I thought I would try a new approach - instead of trying to rest up on the weekends, I would keep it busy (that's me sleeping on the train back from Dresden the other summer - don't really have any pics for this post). I'm a 9 hour girl, and manage to get close to that during the week. So this last weekend I accepted all the invitations put out there: Friday night I hung out with an old friend (clarification: he's my age, just knew him from long ago), his wife, and their friends - meeting a great group of new people. The combination of the end of a long week and having a great time (lots of laughter), I ended up drinking a bit more than I intended, so spent the night. They have a wonderful old farm house and a very, very comfortable/cozy guest bed.



I worked on taxes (a solo event, but no lounging around). Than met up with an old college friend, Joanne and her highschool friend, Amy. This is her match.com picture (she is going to kill me - but I'll switch it out when you send me pics from this weekend). Checked out a great nearby restaurant, Zocalo - really good mexican food. Went to the Burren in Davis Square - real fun people watching and catching up.



The next morning I went over to Joanne's mom's and the three of us had a wonderful Sunday brunch - cinnamon buns, french toast, quiche, fruit salad, mimosas, the list goes on. I even got my own easter basket with candy and colored eggs (I had one last night and I'm still alive this morning!) We went hiking over at the Audubon Broadmoore sanctuary - gorgous, over 600 acres. It was a beautiful day for exploring. Than ran errands and home again. But still, I'm tired.



I know what my dad would say - "you're not getting enough exercise", my mom would say that I have alot of stressful things going on right now (partly why I don't sleep well anymore), but frankly I feel like I'm in a rut. Even things I can control aren't working out: I don't have a good book that I'm engrossed in, I don't have a good knitting project going. The upside is that I'm realtively healthy (which reminds me I need to make several appointments - doctor, dentist, vet - for the cats), I have a great job, I have a great network of friends, I have a great apartment (which was reaffirmed by Amy this weekend - it's nice when people are jealous of your digs). Granted, there is no man in the picture, but I'm not the type that needs one, and I don't have kids which I want, but more in theory right now, than in reality. Which leads me to conclude that what I really need is a new haircut (ok, not the best logical progression, but it's an easy fix)!
