Stuck at the Office

When I took that long weekend off from work, I would go to bed very late. My cousin and sister and I would stay in bed giggling like 12 year olds in a slumber party and it was so much fun. I feel so much younger lately and I don't know if that's a good thing.


During that long weekend I;
  • Went home at 6 am on one "night"
  • Tanned.
  • Spent time with family
  • Drove a total of 1000 km (how many miles is that?)
  • Felt tiny
  • Laughed out loud
  • Sincerely smiled
  • Found a generous bonus in my account!
And now I am at the office- proud of my tan line, my hair a shade lighter and I am missing my friends. My best friend left to this place yesterday, and the day before my(and my best friend's) ex from around 4 years ago left to Spain, I had been spending a lot of time with him so I am missing them both this weekend.
Yes, my best friend and I dated the same person; they got together less than a month after said ex and I broke up. It's a long, long story but I love them both to bits.
I can tell you about that some other time if you'd like to know.

It's the last day of the work week and I find myself wanting to go home and read. But that's only the realistic solution.

Ultimately(and far from realistically) I want to;
  • Be in Paris.
  • Go on a felouka ride along the Nile
  • Buy a whole new wardrobe
  • Lose 5 kilos
  • Get a great big hug
  • Be in Basata with my friends
  • Get extensions since I have no idea how I would look like with long hair
  • Bake cupcakes
  • Have weekend pancakes tomorrow with tons of maple syrup
How is everyone doing?

Gah. This makes me want to take a needed vacation. And I think it's good every now and then to forget being "grown up" and act little - I don't know of any better way of doing that than sleepovers with a sister. How perfect!

Who doesn't want to be in Paris?! And consider yourself hugged girl. We all deserve a great hug from time to time. I know I do. :)

You won't believe this but me and my friend also dated the same guy (who by the way was my best friend's brother) :D They started dating 2 months after me and him broke up and even though I thought it might all be strange cause all of us were friends, it actually was pretty much OK :) I'd love to hear your story on this ;)

And I can 100% relate to your "want to" list. I also wanna lose some kilograms, and I am in need of a big tight hug and even though I can't give you a real one, I hope this virtual one will help a little *hugs tight*

If you happen to do the hair extentions, don't forget to share photos with us ;)

I also want to buy a whole new wardrobe! *swoon*

And of course it's good that you feel younger....responsibilities and work can make us seem way older than our years, so if you've a chance to be carefree, grab it! :)
