my willpower.

when i woke up feeling too chubs for my clothes, when my train went express right before my stop, when one of our front desk computers was unusable (due to a porn virus, i kid you not), when i was dragging at the gym, when i made kale and potato soup (from scratch!) instead of just snacking on cookies all night—all day i’ve felt like crawling back under the covers, and i haven’t given up or given in. i’m just thankful that i’ve gotten to a place in my life where i know how to kick the mean reds when they do show up.

scenes-from-my-hood:

this is the tea-set at a bridal salon in san mateo.

oh love. oh love love love so much. those colors. and those details. oh goodness.

a super-duper clean apartment (thanks to an afternoon of elbow grease and a boy who has a way with a swiffer), fruit cobbler soft-serve from momofuku milk bar and friends to share it with, a quiet evening at home after fun-but-late nights on thursday and friday.

friday traditions, including: sleeping in, bagels and coffee on montague street, catching up on project runway, going to the gym, and lazing around the apartment. also: dinner plans with one of stephen’s old high school friends tonight, and probably a fancy drink or two.
