beachy weekend

I hate being so busy and stressed out. I have no time to breathe as usual.

So tonight, as I sat on my bed

and inhaled the yummy blueberry muffin scented candle burning,

I did things that will make me feel better.

I caught up on emails to dear friends

and began setting up some dinner dates.

I wrote some cards to loved ones.

I organized all my random stuff and tidied up.

I made dinner reservations for our college girls vacation next week

(and thoroughly enjoyed checking out the menus!).

And I uploaded my miscellaneous pictures from the weekend.

After a crazy week back at the office,

Friday night I headed to the beach

with some boys.

It was gorgeous

and just what I needed.

The ocean has that way,

of refreshing your soul

and letting things go,

letting stresses slip away

and bring you into the moment.

I love the smells.

Saturday morning the same boys and I

went into Harvard Square

for some errands.

I indulged in a cheesy breakfast sandwich

and the beauty of Cambridge.

Saturday night was fun shenanigans and on Sunday,

we returned to the beach.

I read and climbed rocks and

I admit;

I even enjoyed the freezing cold ocean water.

Two beach visits

in one weekend;

not too shabby.

Oh and of course,

with my mind ready to explode,

Friday afternoon treated me and an office girlfriend

to cupcakes at Sweet on Newbury.

I must say, the Pina Colada cupcake

did not disappoint.
