fantastic weekends like the one i just had feel even better because they’re so full of activity and good company, they just seem to stretch on longer than the average old weekends you’d just call ‘okay’. we capped madilyne’s visit off friday with a fun trip to the roost during which we took eachother’s pictures pretending to drive some stranger’s gargantuan convertible — do these people not expect this to happen when they leave the top down overnight, parked right there on the curb? then saturday’s gorgeous sunshiney afternoon prompted driving to amoeba and lunch with music up and windows down, and later a nice stroll up melrose because we just couldn’t get enough. tried to grab some shoes but wasn’t inspired by the wall of tired puma/adidas offerings, so i made a pilgrimmage sunday instead to the old trusted favorite and grabbed some gorgeous new grey & white vans. my feet love me right now. my stomach should too because i got the most excellent key lime milkshake ever right afterward with jess; if you’ve never been to cafe 50s you are missing the boat. and you do not want to miss the delicious milkshake boat, brother.

most of the rest of the time was spent with the unbeatable meghan, who i can’t get enough of lately. we caught the passion saturday which i will hold off commenting on until tomorrow, and then watched the oscars with a nice little crowd last night. i noticed myself throughout simply turning and thinking that yes, i actually do get to take this wonderful girl home with me — how great is that? and realizing that just that little thought is one of the best feelings ever.

so, yes. good weekend.
