monday magic

there's something sacred about a long weekend.  

particularly long weekends that involve mondays off from work.  

don't ask me why... but i definitely prefer a monday to a friday off from work.

today proved to be one of those perfect mondays off. 

here are some components that added to the serenity of the day...

**waking up to this delicious punim waiting for me in a text**

good morning, olive! 

you little stunner you, in your arizona sweats and ducky shirt!

*(punim = yiddish for face)*

*an outta the blue email from my dream-job-arts-organization 

asking to discuss my future (jigga wha?!)...  

*a wicked-hard-perfect yoga class 
spent with one of my dearest friends.  

not to mention, a soundtrack that consisted almost exclusively of 
phoenix, radiohead, and the beatles... heaven

for those fellow yogis out there, imagine starting your class with this:

and wrapping up your practice up with a shavasanah listening to this:

mmmmmhhhhmmmm...

*nesting, cooking, and working throughout the afternoon 

in a kitchen that feels like this:

ultimate yummmmmmy monday off!

*i know that vid for phoenix is annoyingly hipstery 

but i do love how perfect and silly summers in bk can feel... 

embarrassingly, wonderfully, that video manages to capture some of the bk/summer vibe*
