Find A Happy Place

So my happy Friday was followed by emotional Saturday. The week was overall challenging but Friday night was a bright spot. Apparently the universe was just taking a breather before continuing to make sure my week would not end on the happiest of notes. It all ended up turning out ok but I was certainly glad to see a new week. Ensuring that this would happen, I did make sure to visit my favorite cupcake place in NYC. Though I refrained from buying a full dozen (it was not easy) they did look so pretty in the box.

And if one more man in my life states that "men are simple" immediately following a display of confusing and complex behavior that makes astrophysics look simple, I do reserve the right to rip off his arm and beat him with it :-)

Happy Friday

It was indeed a very happy Friday both for being the end of a rather complicated week and a good day all on it's own. Too many late nights and being swamped at work made coming home tonight an evening I walked through the door utterly exhausted. Add to that an impromptu trip that I am heading out for early in the morning and it was a good night to stay in and get things accomplished. So what did I do? Of course I went salsa dancing!

It starts late enough that I could get home and get things done quickly. It was so much fun, as it always is. It's impossible not to smile when salsa dancing and there was plenty of that to see. As fun as it is to dance, it's nice to catch your breath and watch everyone on the dance floor. There were some amazing dancers and they are delightful to watch. The very cold night air felt good to walk out into. So while I was lucky enough to wake up with a smile, I am double lucky to be heading to bed with one!

What a Difference a Few Days Make

Last week was a very busy one with all kinds of stuff going on. Of course, we had a 50 degree day on Friday. It was really windy but such a touch of Spring. Then today, a foot of snow. Apparently Mother Nature needed to remind us it is still winter. And honestly I am happy for the snow so I can get some cross country skiing in this weekend.

It was nice to have a snow day today. It wasn't really a snow day but I did get to work from home. It took quite a while to shovel my car out. It may have been light and fluffy snow but dammit there was a lot of it! The photo is the view from my skylight, before it was completely obscured.
