Gathering Ye Rosebuds While Ye May

Know what a good weekend feels like?

• When you have extra money in the bank (there is a silver lining to losing one's checkcard -- you can't spend a damned thing until your replacement comes),
• The pretty underthings *(NSFW) you bought (husband and his dislike for lacy/see through etc. things be damned) come in the mail and your
• husband seems a little...miffed when he sees you putting on said underthings when you're getting ready,but you go ahead and
  
• wear them out to lunch under a dress you forgot you had (but it still looks perfect and put together), and feel both rebellious and pretty (which makes for fun waiter-flirting at the restaurant).
  
• You spend an inordinate amount of time in the toy section of World Market with your friends, playing with the musical instruments featured, and end up buying something silly (but are elated despite its goofiness). Plans for a Rock band including an accordion, castanets, maracas, and vocalist ensue.
  
• Play with makeup and find a decent foundation color;
  
• Manage to cook dinner (albeit late) and it come out quite good (husband even brags on it at work);
  
• Start a new piece of work, and still have it with you on Sunday night to mull over.
  

Not bad...not bad at all.
