How beautiful was the weather this weekend? Fifties and sunny, I wore dresses and light jackets and went sock-free, and it was glorious.
I also repeatedly forgot my camera this weekend, which I suppose goes to show that sometimes, life is meant to be captured more by words than a camera lens.
So, a weekend of pluses and minuses, though happily more on the positive end.
Plus: Gazing at the gorgeous Alice in Wonderland costuming and coveting the red, white, and black dress. Also, sneaking nearly everything from the Whole Foods salad bar into the theater, along with a container of chocolate-coconut balls.
Minus: $14 movie tickets.
Plus: Unbelievable weather affording long random strolls around the city, just because.
Minus: Getting all excited to use my Groupon for half-off organic groceries with free delivery, only to discover that there are no delivery slots available until March 24th. Sometimes, New York makes me sad.
Plus: Girly catch-up over multiple glasses of grenache blanc at anotheroom, a dim little den that serves only wine and beer. Perfectly complemented by an evening that made me want to cool off with glasses of white.
Minus: Skip ahead if you are bored by yoga-speak: for some reason, my lower back is super tight, and it took me nearly half a class to manage to successfully arch into upward-facing dog. Forget about bow. Slightly pathetic yoga – though I did hang out in crow and an advanced tree arm balance for a while, so all was not lost.
Plus: Not wearing boots all weekend, for the first time since…November? My flats [however worn they may be] were so happy to see daylight.
Minus: Union Square Trader Joe’s on a Sunday at 5 PM. Thankfully, I had fabulous company to help ease the insanity.
a vegetarian burrito with mole sauce, accompanied of course, by a mimosa.
Plus: Brunch at Crema, aka the classiest Mexican food I’ve ever had. Though they were out of the dish I originally wanted, I was quite happily stuffed by the meal’s end, and I may have stayed chatting with my brunch partner for an hour after our plates were cleared. I am so good at dining.
Plus: Sisterly commentary on the Oscar red carpet. [Plus: Rachel McAdams and Sandra Bullock. Minus: Zoe Saldana and Charlize Theron - which is sad, because I like Charlize.]
Happy Monday, everyone!

I’m sure there was a minus or two during the weekend, but they’re hard to remember with such beautiful weather.
Sounds like you had a jam packed weekend! And seriously took advantage of the sunshine which in my book is equivalent to 3 pluses :) The best thing about this weather was I finally got to open up my porch door and let some fresh air into my apartment! Ahh the little things
This vegeterian burrito looks divine!
I had more minuses than pluses.Plus was definitely getting more sleep than usual, and finally getting my cat to cuddle without him begging for food.
Minuses: bad body attitude, my mom being angry and frustrated at me, and cold cold weather

I really like the phrase, “sock free” for some reason.
Plus: Alice with Ari’s family!
Minus: Going to that dark and twisty place…
Minus: A teaching exam I had to take.
Pluses: A beautiful drive in the country with my beau, followed by lunch at a cute little Moroccan restaurant.
I think I’ve been to “The Other Room” before, it’s in the West Village on a fairly residential street, right? Very nice ambiance, I liked it.
Pluses of the weekend: Getting my hair done, running outdoors for the first time in months, wearing light jackets, gobbling up as much of Central Park as possible, strolling with my chums, trying new types of cuisine, and immersing myself in a new novel.
Minuses: Stepping on the scale, not a good idea at this time of month.
Pluses: Seeing Alice, sneaking in cinnamon popcorn and homemade raw cashew cookies.
Minuses: Being to busy thinking about the upcoming week to enjoy the weekend.
XOXO

Sounds like you had a great weekend!!! We had gorgeous weather too, and yesterday had a high of 659! I got to wear flip-flops for the 1st time this year, YAY!!! A little boy at work asked me “Why are you wearing flip-flops?” with this confused look on his face and I said “Why not?” He had no response.
