I had so many plans for the weekend — I was going to do my taxes! plan our next vacation! do the laundry! see our friend liz’s new apartment with a view of the East River! Get started on the mosaic tile tabletop for the kitchen! Make headway on a reupholstering job for our beautiful, but red-wine vulnerable, white silk couch!

OK, i managed to do some laundry, sort of. the bag of clean but wet delicates is sitting in the bathroom as i type, waiting for me to hang. taxes i’ve avoided all weekend. but we did see liz’s beautiful and large new apartment, and had dinner in park slope with our friends Dan and Melanie, seeing their new apartment and checking in on Melanie, who is due with their first child in May. the vacation planning is in-process. But the mosaic is untouched, and the upholstery is where it’s been for the last two months: in pieces folded up in a pile next to the couch.

we did take a nice walk in the sunshine Saturday morning. And this morning, we slept in a bit, then went to the gym and played three games of co-ed beach volleyball. i had so much fun — i felt so healthy jumping around in the sand. and luke and i enjoyed playing together. of course, it helps when we win, which we did, all three of our games!

ugh. now, back to the laundry and taxes.
