Friday Reality + A Few Links.
I woke at 4am once again to the sound of raindrops against our bedroom window and the ache of severe jet lag. Both my pounding headache and the sweet sound of nature made me realize instantly that I’m back in the land of reality.
After spending an amazing two weeks abroad creating, brainstorming & dreaming with close friends, I’ve returned home to a plethora of exciting upcoming projects lumped together with the sheer mania of continued home repairs. We still don’t have a functioning kitchen or bathroom and there are boxes and boxes of stuff in every corner of the house (you are correct in assuming we haven’t even started unpacking yet!). Working from home in the midst of a full remodel is no small feat let me tell ya. I find myself engaging in constant daydreaming just to escape the harsh reality that life is a bit of a mess right now with no end in sight.
It has been a bit challenging to balance home and work life lately and Fridays these day’s don’t feel like Fridays much at all. With Saturdays and Sundays spent fighting the crowds at Ikea, repainting walls and attempting to make just one room in our home “livable” weekends feel like a whole lotta work these days. Looking forward to the day when we can just enjoy the beauty of homeownership, but in the mean time I’m just gonna keep channeling those quiet afternoons people watching at a cafe along the streets of Paris.
In the midst of returning home to the real world, a few links around the web that caught my eye this week:
1. Embarrassed to admit it, but I watched
2. If you aren’t already watching this show it’s a must. I’m so addicted and have been for years. Revenge has never been so entertaining.
3. So excited to have my own chance to navigate the NYC floral markets for a fun dinner party this month with Anna.
4. If I could have one thing for my birthday next week, it would be one of these amazing classes. Too bad their all sold out through AUGUST!
5. Ummmm seriously, how did I not know about
