Lots of happy moments this weekend; I'll list them here.
Friday
- I brought no work home this weekend. It was freeing to walk out of the building without my work laptop. I will be on task and working hard all week to meet my deadlines, but just the thought of a relaxing weekend made me happy.
- C. and I have been dating for six months now, and I'm so glad to have him in my life. He's in many of my happiest moments. I drank my first martini with him, I had my first good sushi experience with him (more on that later!), and he's introduced me to many of the movies that I "lost" back in the nineties. He's the first person that I want to tell everything, and he always keeps me close. So glad I didn't cancel our first date...
- C. and I stayed up until 2AM on Friday, watching American Beauty and the Accused, in front of the fireplace with all the lights turned out. He understood why I cried at the end of American Beauty, and we talked about the movie until we fell asleep.
Saturday
- C. made me coffee and we went online to research the movies we'd seen the night before. I love talking about the movies we watch together just as much as I like watching them.
- I was watching an old episode of Everyone Loves Raymond, and Marie (the mom) brings over a six pack of bottled Shasta Club soda. I had to laugh; I just bought and blogged that same exact soda earlier in the week.
- We ordered in Chinese food, and C. came over with the Series of Unfortunate Events movie because he remembered that J. wanted to see it. J. was watching on the couch, with Jasmine perched on her side and purring away.
Sunday
- When asked to list words that described me, J. said "funny" and "caring" as her first two word choices. I said, "do you really think I'm funny?" and she said, "you're always making me laugh, and C., too."
- I read a great book on leadership today. I'm hoping to put some of the principles into effect in my leadership role at work. Although I can't control everything at work, I can be a good leader for my group.
- I found an adorable summer dress at the mall. Although we are under a severe winter storm watch tomorrow, I am warmed by the thought of summer's arrival.
Love,
Rachel
