Energy at 7AM on a Monday



I woke up with my alarm at 7AM and among my first thoughts was "wow, I feel well-rested!"  Quite rare for a Monday morning, no?  
What was the ingenious alchemy of my weekend that produced this energy? It was probably a mixture of some of these elements:

Dancing to 80's music in comfortable shoes

Saturday morning tidying time. Yes it's true, I like to mop.

Going to Juan's 24th Birthday Bash!!!

Leaving Juan's birthday party early at 4:30AM, opting for some sleep instead of the sunrise.

Pancakes "picnic" for Sunday lunch, indoors, on the floor

Eating pistachio ice cream in the park 

Practicing Spanish by reading a children's book by Maria Elena Walsh

Randomly running into a friend I know from Costa Rica in the middle of downtown rush hour!!!

Purchasing my first winter coat

Finding a buy 10 get 1 free Sandwich card from Mr. Miga with 9 circles already stamped!

Today I am also finished teaching early, home by 3:30 pm, I have
 plenty of time to concoct the pea and lentil soup I make on a bimonthly basis to ensure that my diet includes a protein source outside of the frequent visits Leah and I make to Volta for 1/4 kilos of artesenal ice cream.

I leave you with a couple of pics from the weekend:

Looking like hooligans as we wait on the curb for Juan's pal Pico

you have an encouraging memory. encouraging because i really want to be better at remembering the details in my todays that make each day unique. without the details todays blend together into months or worse yet years and little is learned and consequently i don't change at all.

i'll start by writing down these pickup lines. oh i wish i would have known these in aspen. i practiced saying them to the gals i no longer see and they still got a kick out of them. twas a delightful thursday morning exercise.
