Super Sunday!

It's really lovely when you can turn a day around. I woke up this morning and felt very...yuck. Mi esposo is finishing the wiring of his cousin's house, so Uma + I were home alone. Unfortunately neither one of us could sleep well. She kept waking up and looking at the door and I couldn't wait to wake up from my few restless hours of sleep.

I did wake up in time to listen to one of my favorite shows on NPR, The Infinite Mind. It's an incredible show that explores the science and psychology of our minds. Well..today's show was on HOARDING AND CLUTTER.

If you've been over to our apartment the last few months, the connection is not lost on you.

I obviously don't suffer from OCD (despite loving the show Monk). I did, however find a few troublesome traits, that I decided to work on - immediately.

I started to organize my workspace - my fabrics and leathers, patterns and cording. Not so bad, actually. The real issue will be working on my papers. Remember when I mentioned that I recently found a packing list from the 1990s? Well, that's not really gonna work for me anymore. On the show, author and feng shui expert Denise Linn, outlined a few steps to decluttering you life. You know what I think?
Shit, I have a lot of work to do.

Anyway, I did have a great business meeting with our financial advisor guru and we're furiously working on our website. In the meantime, the Holiday Cards are up on our etsy site.



I love them, they're the Mid-Century Holiday series. I took this picture on the fly, so it doesn't even begin to do the cards justice.

I also gave Uma a much needed bath. Right now, she's wrapped up in her towel on her "cloud" as mi esposo calls her bed. Cute.

It's actually nice to have some time to blog and work. The past few weekends were a bit of a whirlwind. We went last Friday to see one of the lovely and talented Anne Akiko Meyers perform at Lincoln Center. Any time we can see Anne play, we try to make it - we're always emotionally drained and awed after her performances. As a special treat, her sister and our best friend Toni (I only have a few best friends, but they're worth their weight in gold) was in town from Colorado!

The next night we went to see Maurice play at the Makor (part of the 92nd Street Y). As usual he killed it. My father and his girlfriend joined us. The show was funky - heck I even got up to dance. Yes, it was after my Citron + tonic and it was darn good!

Even yesterday, Laura + I checked out Casino Royale. The new James Bond film - as a fan and a critic...I loved it!

So, I'm happy to have a home-y Sunday. Working and writing and maybe even working out (if I can drag myself down to Crunch).

Have a great Sunday darlings!
