Lazy and lovely
July 6, 2004
 Rama plays Sungka in Mom & Dad’s lovely backyard, this lazy 4th of July weekend |
Other weekend indulgences: Reading comics in Griffith Park, a delicious afternoon nap, an IKEA shopping spree, barbecued ribs and mini ice cream sandwiches, Shrek 2 at the local theater (courtesy of free movie passes) and Pass the Pigs, a new favorite
How did you indulge yourself this weekend?
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
I want to learn playing Sungka.
How I indulged myself this weekend.. well, one might say that after my boyfriend and I split up on Friday night, I indulged myself in self-pity. (read: typical female rituals like taking long warm showers, facial sauna’s, scrubs and massages, all alone, reading Pablo Neruda’s saddest poem again and again).
I didn’t set the alarm Sunday night and let myself sleep to my heart’s content on Monday morning. I literally woke up with a smile on my face. Fabulous.
i played boggle for the first time since i played w/you and rama months ago. it was so fun! miss you xo
hello! i love pass the pigs so much it makes me squeal like one. a pig that is. wonderful!
spent saturday morning teaching my kids how to make desserts with graham crackers. seeing them amaze themselves is so rewarding. they couldn’t believe they could create something delicious. we can all be delicious. :-)
this weekend? hmm… Im going to the jogging field near my homestay. Its time for me to say goodbye to my thick thigh :P
my weekend indulgences: old friends coming together to just laugh! karaoke revolution, speed uno, singaporian films, palms springs and their natural hot springs, chasing fireworks, homemade jamaica cooler, tuba (coconut wine) from the Philippines, drumstick ice cream and more food – thai and spicy, new zealand mussels, spring rolls, vietnamese omelettes, 7 layer dips, pancit and lots of korean bbq ribs. my tummy is still full from this weekend.
Oh how funny, you guys call it Sungka, we Indonesians call it congklak.
I stayed in bed a lot. It was a fantastic time.
I indulged in eating cookies, reading a young adult novel, enjoying the air conditioning, and listening to lots of new music. :)
And I think another language calls it mancala. I love the game.
i peed in the pacific
I ran 8 miles, wrote an essay for class, did 5 loads of laundry, saw “The Hunting of the President” and watched the fireworks over the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Wow we almost had the same weekend. I had went to IKEA for some shopping spree as well, watched Shrek 2, a lot of naps *laughs*, more shopping downtown, and went out with friends for drinks. :)
I haven’t seen Pass the Pigs in a LONG time! I forgot all about it.
My husband Billy, one-year-old son Jacob, and I went to Boothbay Harbor, Maine with some of my relatives. We had a cottage on the bay. Billy & I went scavenging (is that a word?) for sea glass during low tide. I felt like a little kid again. We ate more seafood in one weekend than we had all year, snacked on Oreo ice cream sandwiches, and played Scrabble at night. It was bliss.
