it's been a nice weekend.

yesterday: it started with meeting a friend for the first time. a blogger friend. i told her a few weeks back i was going to travel to meet my grandparents, and since they live in the same town, we decided to meet at forever21 to chat and act like teenage girls whose goal in life was marry justin bieber {this is a hypothetical scenario, mind you}. we were so nervous at first; i was shaking and looking for her face every minute, and once we got there and we hugged {i impaled her poor tummy with my camera twice} it was as though we knew each other all along. technology is nice, no?

i bought clothes and we both bought ice cream and discussed the book we're writing {details before the rapture, promise}, and made a very pointless vlog that we're sharing with you soon.

today: i woke up late, if you count 9:18am as late because i do, to the smell of meat sizzling in the oven and barbecue sauce heating through the open windows. the morning was lazy, spent lounging about on the couch and checking emails and begging for ribs and potato salad, and a small lesson of square dancing for the grandparents. i played with grandaddy's ever-so lovely film camera and sifted through his records, took some photos. thank God the day isn't over yet, because i plan to make myself a sundae and watch some downton abbey.

but, dears, whilst you are enjoying yourselves in relaxation, remember those who couldn't spare a moment to catch their breath while fighting for the safety of our fellow Americans. if you're wondering about my speech, it's all downton's fault. that show is good, really good. matthew and mary forever!

{pea ess: photo-less, i know, but blogger is being rude and saying i've reached my photo data limit. help, or i'll die and be of no use to tabbey cat. and no, you weren't supposed to understand that reference. although i'm sure captain america does.}
