anyway, it's a rainy Monday morning but i'm coming off a very relaxing (quite overdue) weekend, so the bad weather and big fat workweek stretching out before me isn't getting me too down.
i left work on Friday at noon (a painful feat, lemme tell you) and met my parents in NJ, where we had a lovely lunch and then an equally lovely, early Mother's Day visit with Gram. as far as i'm concerned, she is about the cutest human being on the planet.
the rest of the weekend was spent in PA, where i ate, slept, shopped, obsessed over crossword puzzles, and found nirvana in my parents' hot tub, where i sat soaking for maybe 45 minutes Saturday night and would not have gotten out if it weren't for the fact that i hadn't eaten dinner yet. (i so wish i could fit one on my fire escape, because i truly believe hot tubs are the antidote to having to work for a living.)
anyway. my mama had a nice Mother's Day yesterday, despite the various kitchen traumas my father and i experienced (an ancient crepe maker and lamb chops that wouldn't cook were involved). but no worries: we all survived. and, between being in the "country" with all its green lushness, the hilarity that ensues whenever i hang out with my parents, and not having to think about work for approximately 6o hours straight, it really was the nicest weekend i've had in a while.
so nice i even feel motivated enough to update my blog. (try not to get used to it.)
