1. Why does it take twenty-somethings so long to grow up?
2. Every dark chocolate bar is equal to every cup of espresso...marvelous.
3. My favorite breakfast includes a croissant and cappuccino.
4. Murakami's Norwegian Wood was the last book I read before Ash Wednesday.
5. I am SO glad that I finished report cards, comment cards, math checklists, letters of recommendation and reading a colleague's National Board Entry this week.
6. An immaculately clean house would make me feel better right now.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing 1 Kings, tomorrow my plans include flying to Naples, (Florida, not Italy) and Sunday, I want to have coffee on the patio with my family!
Find more Friday thoughts here.
What a beautiful place this is, your picture... I sure like to see a caption though. Here I am above the 49th parallel with snow and sleet and wind and ice... that's my weekend. Florida sounds like Italy to me. Have a great read and enjoy your family time, Bellezza! Look forward to your post on 1 Kings.
ReplyDeleteWow! Busy week! I finished report cards too this week (and am now on Spring Break..wahoo!)
ReplyDeleteHere is my Fill-In
I love that picture - what is the building and where?
ReplyDeleteI'm on holidays today so I actually didn't want it to be Friday because I return to work Monday.
These are just some beautiful condos in Naples that I captured on a walk...I don't have the address, nor do we stay there. :)
ReplyDeleteThe limo's in the driveway, to take us to O'Hare airport, so I'll visit you all when we come back a week from Sunday. Blessings on you, friends.
Enjoy your trip. I love an imaculately clean home too - sadly it requires work on my part most of the time. This weekend I traded housework for a bike ride. How was Norwegan Wood?
ReplyDeleteYou're already off to Naples, but I still have to say . . . best bet is to marry off the kid. Then, the growing-up part is his wife's problem. We're leaving ours in capable hands and hoping for the best (wedding bells forthcoming, this summer!) Have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteyea for spring break!! Have a wonderful time in Florida!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a marvelous trip! Enjoy the quiet and the coffee and the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love having a clean house... I don't feel guilty reading that way.
A trip south, how lovely. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletegreat picture and please, please have a coffee for me in Naples!
ReplyDeleteCan I come? Naples, FL is lovely.
ReplyDeleteEven Naples, Florida sounds great to me right now. I hope you have a blast!
ReplyDelete1 Kings? As in the Biblical 1st Kings, or is there another book that shares the title?
ReplyDeleteSorry I am so late; busy weekend! My answers are over at The Philosophy of Chairs.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time in Floriday! And as I'm still a twenty-something for a few more months I"m not sure I can answer your #1. Still too many things to experience to feel "grown up" but I get closer every day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a lovely time with your family. I can't wait to see some photos when you return.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite breakfast includes an Americano and a fresh-baked scone.
I, too, love an clean house, but I get even more satisfaction from an afternoon out on the bike trail. Can't. Wait. To. Buy. My. New. Bike!!
Sounds delightful. And don't worry about that non-immaculate house. So much more on your list that matters much more. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBlack Coffee fresh cut Bread toasted with Butter Honey & fresh ground Black Pepper. Love the picture, we had an attempt at spring here, now reverted to wintry, Have an enjoyable experience.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Naples myself this week, and it is lovely here! Perhaps we'll meet at the bookstore or on 5th Avenue :)
ReplyDeleteI am late to comment--but it is Friday, again!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, Bellezza.
