my break: part I

before work starts, i have 10 days to spend doing whatever i please. this is how it began…

day 1, saturday: 

• cleaned the entire apartment – bathroom, kitchen, wood floors, & windows. [to some this may not seem relaxing, but i had been waiting to do this for over a month!] 
• helped robby finish up his thesis [yay!] + took it to get printed at kinko’s.
• had dinner at long bar  - salad & calamari.
• went to a friend’s new condo to part-ay!

day 2, sunday: 

• robert made chocolate chip pancakes for us for breakfast [you can get the great mix here].
• picked up robby’s thesis & drove it to palo alto [where his professor lives to ensure on-time delivery].  
• had lunch and shopped a bit in palo. love that cute town so much!! [some day i will see a classic christmas film here.]
• dinner at the blue barn in the marina, san fran. the weather was just so absolutely perfect that we sat outside & absorbed the sunshine.

day 3, monday: 

• made homemade biscuits for breakfast. ate with apricot jam [my all-time favorite!] + orange juice. 
• wrote some overdue thank you cards that had been patiently waiting for me to finish finals.
• brought robby lunch at work. [he now officially has a master's degree - he deserves it!!]
• did a little shopping with some birthday gift cards. [spent entirely too much time looking at cute knickknacks in anthropologie!]
• went for a run.
• dinner with stasie & robby!
