The Weekend

This weekend has been full of productiveness. Pretty sure that isn't an actual word, or maybe it is because it didn't get spell checked...

What I mean is, the weekend has been productive. I scanned all of my polaroids today and I am currently cropping the scans and straightening them. Went with my sister, our basically adopted sister (her best friend) and our brother to dinner for lil' sis's 18th birthday! Sheesh has time flown by. I was six when she was born. This is crazy. She's 18 and moving to Alabama in less than a month! I'd be devastated if 1) I wasn't planning on heading to Tennessee before her four years there are up and 2) if I saw her more.

Saturday I finished fixing up my resume and sent it to several people. Then looked at photography skills. This week I read 3... yes THREE books.

I also finished


All of them were fantastic. All for different reasons. Fifth Avenue, 5 a.m. I read in one night because I just couldn't put it down. It is the story of Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote and the little black dress. It's that and a whole lot more. It is a definite must read for anybody who's seen Breakfast at Tiffany's and liked it or has an appreciation for Audrey.
Perfect Fifths and Queen of Babble were quick reads for fun. They were my easy-peasy but oh so great escape books that both has little lessons that made me think.
As for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, I don't know what to say other than I was soooo wrong the first time I picked up the book an couldn't get into it. The story pulled me in and wouldn't let me go when I picked it up a second time. The story is so honest and without apology. Gorgeous book.

So all in all this weekend (and this week it seems) have been pretty fulfilling outside of work. I'm going to keep with this habit of doing things and reading books and crossing things off of the "need to do" list as well as the "25 before 25" list.

I'm pretty content tonight.

Hope your weekend was relaxing or productive like mine!

p.s. If you are looking for some music to listen to I currently recommend The Silent Comedy (from this good ol' town of San Diego) and Marina and the Diamonds (not from anywhere close to here).

That is all. Goodnight!
