So Much Accomplished

What is better than a weekend when you get a lot accomplished? The range of accomplishment was outstanding as well. Friday and Saturday nights out with friends and Sunday with the family (including my parents). In between parties, sports, crafts fairs and reading my book a bit. Some highlights included…

Reading an article in the NY Times today on The Gap. I am a fan of The Gap and when people

were saying they are dead, I defended them and said~ nope they just had the wrong people there for a little while. Gap is back.

I was convinced by my friend to help her purge her closet. Most of you are thinking~ wow I   could use that.

Most people aren't really up for the task. Most people also don't have the shopping problem my friend has. She needs me. Even her mother quit on her. I love her and we laugh about it. We tackled ONLY knits and sweaters (bagging a lot to give away and leaving only a handful of ” I am not ready to give that away” items). This was just one shelf~ I swear to you one shelf of knits. I

c

ould not even count how many black and white tanks she has.

The good news is we laughed and laughed (especially as she has a habit of buying in mulitples so every time I found something I looked and found its brothers~ always in black, white, oatmeal or grey~ I love the consistency.) This is one of the after pictures:

LOVE THIS.

After years of hype and conversation about Friday Night Lights I finally watched the first episode~ and then the next one. Accomplishment.

Saw these amazing cool (though very loud) cars going down the street today in NYC.

  

I loved this maize and blue window in Satya… Go Blue

I think I have time for one more episode….
