After a glorious week
of near summer temperatures,
sunshine
very few clouds
in the sky
we had
a
WET
weekend.
Friday
I got to head home early
but it was so overcast,
so its going to rain any sec,
I decided to head home
vs
doing a little wandering.
There are some
Tom Otterness sculptures
(not this one, this was in front of the TimeWarner Ctr a few years ago)
outside a hotel on West 42nd St
that I am itching to snap
they'll be there next time I have time.
Saturday
I headed to see John
at
Sam and Chris Salon
he did he usual magic
See how important beautification™ is?!
Next it was home to grab ToonMan and the BIG camera
We'd Googled
directions to the
TWO
waterfalls
in Central Park
I was psyched.
ToonMan and I
would hop a bus
(a concession to his continuing recovery)
and
get some good shots
But
when I got home
he was sitting at his iMac
still not dressed
he said something
like
he hated being a spoil sport
the weather didnt look at all enticing
I said
I was used his being a wet blanket
and
settled in to read
I read a very good well written well plotted mystery
13-1/2 by Nevada Barr
who writes a mysteries set in the various National Parks and feature Ranger Anna Pigeon
I had sort of grown bored with them.
I am not sure how I discovered
13-1/2,
its possible I read a book review
tho I didnt remember it at all
as I opened the e-Book on my iPad
The afternoon and my disappointment melted away
as the story unfolded
I wont give much away by saying
there are twists and turns that will surprise
even the most clever reader
I was so sure
I was right about whodunnit,
then
I wasnt
I finished it in one sitting!
Check it out here.
Sunday
more rain
but
there was sunshine
at
Polished Beauty Bar
my friend Autumn co-hosted
along with
Susan and Micki Nam of Polished
a Stella and Dot jewelry party
that's Micki's husband Mark holding the door exiting party-goers.
Polished is so popular with clients
that they hold
birthday or bridal shower or kiddie parties there
the
Dot and Stella event
followed a morning birthday party.
To be cheery
despite
what the humidity did to my hair
to celebrate
a new pair of JBrand red skinny leg jeans
I got my tootsies
like
this
Glad to hear you had a good weekend Daryl! There's just something about nail polish that makes everything right in the world!!
ReplyDeleteNo way your weekend was a wash..
ReplyDeletesounds like you got a lot accomplished one way or another.
Stormy here, but I ventured out
shopping.
Wow, that's a lot for one weekend. Let's see the new red pants with the red toenails.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that first shot almost looks 3-d.
wv: raturewi. If you were to raturewi-kend, what score would you give it? Sounds like about an 8 to me, pretty good.
Fab tootsies. Can't remember the last time I spoiled my toes.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you turned grey and gloomy into a restful weekend.
Fab macro. Glad you shucked off the wet blanket, You are so good at finding the sunshine. Haven't read NB in a long time.. will pick this one up, thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteWe had record rainfall over the weekend, but are finally expecting a few days of sun (in a row!!) this week. Love the toes!
ReplyDeleteI spent Sunday in my car waiting and waiting and waiting for my hub's plane to be able to land. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteSomeone was telling me about Nevada Barr. Then they added, "but you're better." Hell-lo, ego stroke! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose toenails rule.
Ah - a nice rainy weekend for reading. Sounds perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteGREAT photo at the hairdresser, and fascinating toes! Wish I had fun like that. The rain just washed out my two softball games, so I sat around like a slug and ate too much.
