Lucky Day

It's my standard weekly get-together with my good friend Lucky that makes Friday my favorite day of the week. 

We usually spend a few hours at Panera -- love their broccoli cheddar soup served in a bread-bowl, but I love the company even more. 

(Do they have Panera in every state or is it a Florida thing?) 

I am sure I have more to be thankful for in this life than I realize, but few things do I appreciate more than my friends. I truly have the best friends anyone could ever ask for and I can't even begin to put in words what Lucky's friendship means to me.

Well, thank god it's Friday, the weather is awesome today and I hope everyone has a great weekend. 

 

Until next time,

Deadline met, taking the day off

Well, the insane amount of workload I've taken on this month has rendered me completely MIA from not just the blog but most other areas of my life. But quite honestly, few things make a well deserved and long overdue beauty day feel as guilt free and relaxing as the satisfaction of having beaten a deadline, coinciding with an amassing pile of unused gift certificates waiting to be consumed.

Loving the silver nails!

Until next time,

Agnes

 

Mornings in cafes

By the way, and for the record: as much as I sometimes wish it was the case, drinking coffee is not the only thing I do all day. 

It's just that due to my good friend and steady coffee companion, Ernie, 

(a former photographer whose recent camera purchase engendered an unforeseen extent of photographic industriousness), 

my morning coffee runs have become the single most over-photographed segments of my current existence. 

Other people's pictures fascinate me... the way they see the world and all that.

Ironically, I happen to be Ernie's default photographer for when he needs stuff done, but I am pretty sure one of these days he'll wake up and realize that enlisting my services was a total waste of his money -- there really isn't a thing I can do that he can't do better.

Until next time.

Work work work

God I've been so busy with freelance work I completely forgot about the blog. The company for whom I have been doing design work is so awesome and as I love doing what I do so much, I tend to forget everything else. 

Well, January is half gone -- how is 2012 treating you?

Are you keeping up with your New Year's resolutions? One of my resolutions is to pay more attention to detail and invest more of my attention in the "small things". You know in a 'take time to smell the roses' kind of way, spend more quality time with my friends and people who inspire me, wear my fancier clothes more often, slow down at dinner time (candle + music + fancy plates), you know, things like that. 

Was experimenting with red lipstick the other day. Not exactly headline worthy news, I know.

No particular reason (other than my resolutions), just didn't want my body mis-representing me all day. Woke up feeling so fresh and energized yet looking so tired -- hence the industrial strength primer, under eye concealer and blush. I don't think red lipstick is for me but primer+concealer+blush (and anything else that takes ten years off) are my new best friends. 

Have a great week everyone -- I am off to perform my standard morning routine (Starbucks with my friend Ernie) then disappear into the week and hopefully finish up some work by Friday.

 

Until next time.

three dog night

90% of all conversations seem to revolve around the weather today. 

I am off to Walgreens for an electric blanket, fire wood and maybe a flu shot.

Until next time,

Agnes
