I had such a great weekend! Possibly the best one I've had in... months, if not years, maybe. And I can hardly explain it.
We got so much stuff done...
FRIDAY NIGHT
- We bought/ordered our wedding rings
- Had a nice dinner out
SATURDAY
- Finished and mailed the shower thank-you cards
- Prepped the invites to go out Tuesday
- Spent about ten hours on our movie
SUNDAY
- Shopped for our weekly produce at the farmer's market
- Updated Target registry and bought table number frames and unity candle holder
- Updated Crate & Barrel registry and purchased toasting flutes and cake-cutting devices
- Enjoyed a lovely lunch at our favorite Indian restaurant
- Worked two more hours on the movie
- Took a snuggle-break
- Cleaned the house
- Made a nice dinner
- Ate with and hung out with EH1812.
We both feel rested as though we... I dunno, went to a spa, or spent the whole weekend lounging. We're in great moods and continue to have this strange bound of energy... and this is following a week where I was so stressed and frustrated that I was angsty-crying girl almost every night.
There are two possible answers.
One, time expanded and the reason we actually got all of this done is that we had, in fact, experienced the equivalent of two weekends.
Two, that our recent creative activities suit us. Last Thursday, a friend of Tom's came over to get his input on her short film (in progress.) After I made a small comment about filters, she invited me over to critique as well. What followed was the crazy-ease of tag-team creativity between Tom and I... he'd suggest something, and then I'd build on it, then he'd build on that, and by the time we were done, her movie was on a much better track. It reminded us that, although we both have good jobs that we enjoy, we'd really only ever be happy storytelling-- specifically, storytelling on film. And that we should be working towards that. Working on our wedding movie has only increased that happy feeling. And that, friends, is why I think our weekend seemed so long. Because, creatively, our recently-dry wells had been refilled.
