it was a busy day full of errands.  lots o’ projects, lots o’ crafting, lots o’ planning. my day just flew by!  i was rushing to finish my latest craft affair, when i realized i needed to get ready to head out to andrea’s.  i wrapped up what i was doing {i promised myself i would finish when i got home…all good intentions} and was on my merry way to her house.

i traipsed across town to her place.  i was happy it wasn’t raining or else i would have reconsidered walking that far.  well, a good distance on foot {but super quick in car}.  i thought, why not get in some exercise?  a good, brisk walk does a body good!  i love listening to my iphone’s music rotation as i skip along town to a sweet beat {i’m really digging home right now}!

i finally arrive at her doorstep and knocked.  i heard oliver ask, “who is it?!”.  i said, “ollie, it’s thu!”.  yeahhhh, he didn’t open the door!  lol.  andrea came over and unlocked it to let me in.

she had made spaghetti and garlic bread {um, one too many rolls for me} for dinner!  we enjoyed our time together and drank some [sweet] vino.  ollie watched t.v. while andrea and i caught up on the latest insider news {wink, wink}.  after she put him to bed, she helped me with some of the techie bloggie stuff {thanks girl!}.

after chit chatting some more, it was time to go.  she was a bit worried that i was walking home late at night {so would be hubby charming…if he knew!}.  i know, any part of the city can get sketchy but [unfortunately] our area is a bit more shady, shady than other parts of this wonderful city.  therefore, i hid my messenger purse under my coat {baby got back!} and once again, traipsed as fast as i could all the way home.  boy, it was cold and windy!  i took only the main roads and voila, before anyone knew, i was home sweet home.  i text andrea and hubby charming that i was home safe.

so, i then nestled all snug in my bed for an abrupt night’s sleep due to that damn car alarm that went off every half hour until late morning {damn you car owner!}.  welcome to the lovely noise of the city life.
