Had a delicious, glorious weekend, as is normally the case when I get to bask in perfect temps and sunshine, drink mimosas on a patio, nap, and also hang with my friends. The only thing that would have been the cherry on top would have been to have a lover in my bed, but I guess we can’t have everything we want, now can we?
Am I obsessed?
This week, in addition to dodging the drama at the office, I’m working on the following:
Packing List for Italy: As you know, I’m taking an extended weekend over the Memorial Day holiday and heading to Italy with my friend, Maria. She and I have decided that we both need to pack lightly and carry on so that we can be extra flexible and movable. Of course, I’d always planned to go this way, but I’m dealing with a pretty high-maintenance woman here. As you also know, editing down what to pack is probably the hardest part of planning a holiday. At least it is for me. I want to be cute yet comfortable. So does she. We met yesterday for Italian coffee at this cute little place close to me and determined some of our itinerary (including strolling the streets, drinking cappuccinos, eating gelato, soaking in the views…), and tried to figure out our packable wardrobes. Not as easy as you’d think! But guys, we are EXCITED!!!
Determining My Next Hairstyle: Want to know a secret that’s probably not a secret? I’ve said it here before, but I’m always embarrassed to admit it – I cut my own hair. I don’t completely understand why I do this except for the fact that I don’t have a hairstylist that I love. Over the weekend, I saw a girl in my building who has the cutest, blunt-ish long bob with waves and bangs, and I just gushed over it as quickly as I could before the elevator doors shut. She had just enough time to tell me the name and location of the salon (well-known salon), but I didn’t catch the name of her stylist. So, I spent a good portion of Friday night on Instagram stalking all of the hairstylists at this particular salon. I found a guy who’d posted photos of styles he’d created that I LOVED and booked an appointment with him two Saturdays from now. That will give me time to come up with many, many photos to show him. I want a very long, blunt-ish hairstyle with bangs that I can either go wavy or sleek, depending on the mood/situation. I will have a fresh new style for Italy. I am super excited!
Dating: Eh, I don’t know why I do this to myself, but last night, after my Walk & Talk with Athena, I popped back onto Bumble and found myself bumbling away with introductions and texts and the like. I ended up making two dates for this week. One, tonight and another, Friday evening. I have absolutely zero expectations, but then again, maybe I should at least give ONE fuck, right? After all, I think that some of the problem stems from the fact that we are all (all of us on these damn dating apps) so ambivalent about dating. Let’s put it this way: I’m curious about both of these dudes. Let’s see if they actually come to fruition!
Whelp. Time to get shaking!
