I'm Late!

I feel
 a little 
like 
Alice's Mad Hatter 
racing about 
shouting 
I'm Late, I'm Late
sorry 
but
some 
Mondays are busier than others
 so some Mondays
 I hustle to get things work related done
 before
 I can head over here

 here I am 

that rain I whined about in Friday's post?  
never happened  
well
 it happened 
but
 in a window of time
 before and after
 which 
I could have gotten any number of things done 
and 
didnt
 tho 
I did get my beautification started earlier

 the threat of storms
on a Friday 
apparently 
chased away more than my plans
 to go walk the Mosaic Trail 
my darling Sandy
 who blow dries my hair into obedience
 on Saturday mornings
 texted around 4:30 on Friday
 to say 
wanna come by now?  
I did

Not only did Nicole give me a amazing shampoo/scalp massage 
Sandy bought a bottle of Malbec 
we sipped as she styled
 I might need to switch my appointments to Fridays

 Saturday
 I slept in a bit
before 
going to Polished for my mani/pedi 
I called first so I didnt confuse anyone by showing up a day early
 the rest of Saturday 
was spent hanging with Toonman and the cats 

Sunday 
I got down to the East Village 
a walk on Mosaic Trail was not in the cards
but 
a return to Fishs Eddy
brunch with a dear friend
 was

  Jess and I
 met a long time ago
 on a soap opera chat board
 it turned out 
we worked near one another
 had a lot in common
over the years a friendship has grown 
 through
 her marriage to Joe
 the birth of their son Harlan
 visits to their Brooklyn apartment 
before they moved to Austin, TX 
where Shane was born
 Jess and Joe with the boys come to NYC every summer to visit family friends and me  
I got to spend some great face time with Jess
 at 
ABC Carpet's Pipa restaurant
 after that 
we wandered ABC's main floor 
oh boy 
could I ever get into trouble

 a necklace called my name 
 Jess shouted louder
 'step away, step away, think about it from over here' 
I didnt buy it 
she tried to convince me that I was creative, 
could take a jewelry making course 
make my own
 Did I mention Jess is extremely creative?
 she is a amazing 
she started making onsies for friends having babies 
turned that into a mini business with an Etsy shop for a while 

I digress

later in the afternoon 
she texted me
do not buy the necklace
she'd found beads
 just like the ones 
on the ABC necklace 
and
 she had gold wire 
she's going to make me a 'knock off' 

So 
all in all 
a good weekend 
despite 
not getting the photos I wanted

thanks for tagging along
its always more fun with you!


I did get one photo
to share with you 
oh 
if you look closely you'll see a water tower!
