i would call myself an extrovert,
but lately, my newest phase of life has given me lots of space to breathe.
lots of time to myself.
lots of time to sleep in,
lots of time to enjoy things like meals.
well.
this week has been different.
so many random meetings and lunches and parties,
...........i found myself absolutely drained by yesterday afternoon.
physically and socially tired.
feeling socially overwhelmed was new for me. 
but i'm getting so used to a slower pace and i think my body was liking it.
yesterday when i finally had a slice of time to myself,
i went to the post office (favorite!) to mail a disc to a client,
and then saw that the south pasadena farmers market was happening.
walked around for an hour,
and got lots of vegetables-----
a heart-shaped berry tart,
and some flowers.

and see the rug?
craigslist,
$100,
absolutely in love with it.
its called a sweater rug.
the world thought it would be impossible to buy a rug with a $100 budget,
but i did it. proud of myself. :)

coffee table,
$10,
thrift shop called treasure fair in pasadena.
i see shopping as a way to exercise faith.
i love waiting for the right items.
these are completely right.
