happy friday to me.

i'm currently sitting in my favorite coffee shop, finishing up a latte and panini, fresh off my first workout since amelia was born, and feeling like a whole new person. Mister Man took little one to his mom's house while he did errands so i could have an afternoon to myself, and while it's always tough to be without her, once i am i remember how lovely it is to do something for just me. those moments are rare nowadays.i miss being able to go write in a coffee shop. i miss being able to run to the gym whenever i want. i miss the feeling of thinking about what i want to do that day, instead of what i have to do. so this is just a blissful afternoon for me.

a few other things happening that are making this the happiest friday:

...getting a phone call from work with some really good news. i'm feeling so much better about going back and where my life balance is going to be. more on that later....making plans with this lady to exchange real life hugs and catching up over coffee....blushing that miss ashten thinks highly enough of this post to share this little blog as her blog of the week. it would be pretty great if you went and visited her, and then read and shared that post of mine, because it means a lot to me where i'm at in life right now....packing for our trip to florida! i'm so thankful that i get to bring my daughter to a place that means so much to me and our family. i'm already counting down the days until she takes her first plane ride, sees the ocean for the first time and celebrates thanksgiving with us!...hanging at home tonight with my little family. as much as it's nice to be on my own once in a while, they are the lights of my life and no amount of crying+teething+sleeplessness will change that.

i hope your fridays are just as blissful as mine feels right now, smooches to everyone for your weekends!
