i’m always stoked for Friday (duh), but i’ve been especially excited for thissss particular Friday all week, as it’s the beginning of what i’m expecting to be an amazing weekend. so much good stuff going on! i’m headed upstate to the lake for the weekend, which is always one of my fave ways to spend time, but there’s a very special reason i’m traveling upstate this weekend…so let’s start with that.
*something i’m excited about: Christine’s wedding weekend in Saratoga!
one of the things i’ve been most thankful for since i’ve moved to NYC is that i’ve had incredible roommates, and Christine is my prime example.
Peter & Tink celebrate their birthdays together
we lived together for just over two years and became great friends, and i couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate her wedding weekend in the charming town of Saratoga Springs (one of both of our faves, and close to where i grew up). i’m just itching to get upstate and start the festivities for this amazing friend and lovely bride-to-be!

congrats, my darling, to you and Chad. wishing you every blessing and happiness in the world. ❤
*something fun from my week: a concert at Summer Stage in Central Park.
on Wednesday night i saw Gavin DeGraw and Matt Nathanson at Central Park’s sweet outdoor concert venue, Summer Stage.
Gavin put on suuuuch a good show — that boy seriously has one of the sickest voices i’ve everrrr heard. pure amazingness. i’m semi-sure we’re some sort of star-crossed non-lovers, as he grew up in the same area i did, lived in the same section of NYC as i do when he first moved here, and i randomly worked with his cousin when i lived in Colorado. oh, and i just love his music, sooooo, yeah. set the scene for a fictional romance, kids.
*annnd the bummer of my week: running injury. the.worst.thing. i have the exact same injury in my left leg as i did last summer/fall in my right. like, how does that even happen? shin splint/something my PT called “posterior tibial strain,” even though mine is higher above the ankle, more to the side below the calf. i managed 6 miles on it last night, but it was almost unbearable the first 2-3. and afterwards, well, forget about it. i’m limping like whoa. so basically, i’m taking things day by day and playing this October marathon by ear. there will be other races, and i’m not going to get crazy about it. if i’m not enjoying it and in so much pain, well, i can sit this one out.
*a lil lol. Uncorked Wine Co. in the West Village never ceases to amuse me with their street signage. humor is always appreciated on these NYC streets!
*inspiration, motivation, & just because i like.
amen.
Highs and lows of your week?
Fan of weddings? What do you love about them? celebrating friends/love, dancing, getting dolled up, cute dates…oh geeze i love it all.
