it's been a really long time since I've been able to say I had an amazing weekend, start to finish. not that my weekends suck or anything - but I usually work saturday mornings, and don't do much else. there's nothing wrong with that, but for the first time in a really long time i could answer the question "how was your weekend?" with "it was amazing!" (ironically, it was the first time in a really long time that no one actually asked me that question on a monday. go figure.) reasons for extreme fantasticalness are as follows:
- i did not have to work at huntington on saturday morning, which meant no alarm to wake me up. blissful.
- watched some highlander and napped the rest of the day.
- met up with eric at the florida music festival that night. got in for free, too - without any effort on my part. sometimes it pays to be a cute girl.
- ping-ponged the ends of wall street, listened to some good music - and some not-so-good, but such is life - and laughed a lot.
- i was coming off the worst anxiety attack i'd had in years, and wasn't sure how i'd handle the crowd and chaos. turns out that, in general, when eric's around, i'm good. i am so invested in talking and laughing with him in the moment that i don't really notice anything else, so it doesn't bother me. being with him just makes my soul happy.
- sunday i met jen, chris, sandy, and the kidlings for fun at the magic kingdom.
- i love being aunt karen. it is awesome to be loved like that. gray was so excited to see me he bounced up and down and he literally shook with excitement. granted, he also reacts that way to seeing mickey mouse and riding a train, but whatever - i'll take it.
- i miss jen a lot - she really is my "fake sister". luckily her real sister and i get along great too... i have so much fun with both of them.
- chris's cousin and her family joined us half-way through the day - they were excellent people and fun to hang out with.
- left the kingdom around 10, completely exhausted but centered and happy.
