introretrospection
it's been a pretty exhausting week, full of sleepovers (awesome) and dinner plans (delicious) and final exams (over!). and managing to squeeze in some tv time in between, because who wouldn't want to look at this picture of perfection as often as possible? and even beyond that, it's been a really good, mellow couple of months.
of note: moving out of my home (temporarily) while construction goes underway, a fun-filled faux-abba concert, passing my final driving theory test, acquiring the perfectest poster ever in the entire world, the most delightful brunch at maison ikkoku, being one of the oldest attendees at mickey's magic show without a child, a full week of classic disney princess films (and dressing like them, which is possibly the best part of all).
and the entire week especially has felt like it's been about taking chances and basking in warm friendships and receiving all the unexpected surprises, though not all of them were necessarily pleasant. i bought a hanging chair this week for the newly constructed pavillion in our backyard, and i've been reading books (and buying them) and finishing cross-stitching projects started years ago and then left aside. it's just been sort of amazing all round. and then today wound up being the perfect culmination of that, from getting the most awesome ninja turtle gift from nickietang to wrangling mcdelivery on a friday night, to meeting stephoosaurus for lunch this afternoon and visiting missporcelain at her flea market, and then blowing a ridiculous amount of money at captureinsanity's book sale, to spending the evening curled up in my new chair catching up on some reading.
i was going to (finally) get around to posting about my adventure in italy this october, but i think i'm going to go to curl up in my feels and enjoy the night instead.
