it's been a long time since we've had a weekend off. no parents expected in, no family obligations, no weddings to attend, no friends to host... paul and i are really looking forward to having a nice relaxing weekend to ourselves. i was afraid that we wouldn't be able to enjoy any weekends in september, but luckily we're able to squeeze in one before the weather turns. september is ideal for ithaca. the temperature is moderate, the sun usually shines, the wind gives us a nice breeze, and the leaves start changing colors to paint such a beautiful backdrop. i've taken some spectacular pictures of ithaca in september before, and i'm hoping this year will yield the same.
with the whole weekend free, paul and i are almost at a loss for ideas. what do you do when you actually have time on your hands? normally we'd watch movies and make smores, but with the weather so perfect outside it seems a shame to waste it indoors. maybe we'll go pick apples at the orchard. or go see the stars at the observatory. hit the farmer's market to go see the weird dude with the rickshaw gives free rides to kids (you'd have to see it).
unrelated things?
i had my first paranoia/worry dream about the wedding last night.
it's so bad - i still have over 600 days until the event.
but luckily, paul and i have taken care of a couple of crucial things this week that will hopefully ease my mind. we've insured the ring and the apartment, finally (and now i won't have to be worried about every sink that i see) ... we made plans to sit down and make a budget with his parents... we've taken dresses/suits to the drycleaners so we have something to wear for a wedding coming up in two weeks...
it's so weird how little tasks such as these relax me. paul says it's because i'm a constant list maker and it makes me feel good to have things checked off.
if i'm a constant listmaker, then i'm also constantly adding things TO the list... so why would checking things off here and there necessarily make me feel good? the number of "stuff to do" remains the same.
i don't know.
it's a mystery to me.
