Quiet Weekends.

As much as I enjoy entertaining, socializing, and going out, quiet weekends at home are my favorite. Didz was busy with schoolwork, and I was busy doing a bit of design work for a friend's project - we would distract each other, motivate each other, I'd proof-read his paper, he'd critique my designs. We watched two movies - The Artist and Beginners - both were really good, but I especially loved the silent perfection of The Artist. One day we ordered take-out, one day I cooked. We drank coffee, tea and wine, and went to bed early.

Here's just a glimpse....

I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing weekend, too! 

*a HUGE thank you to Alena who has revolutionized my world -- I now peel squash with ease thanks to the unbelievable vegetable peeler she sent me... Seriously, you guys, it's the best.
