what are you doing this weekend? + zadie the cat

happy friday, friends!

what a week it's been--today i looked at an email i wrote on monday and was thought, "didn't i send that two weeks ago?" things have been particularly busy at the office, especially considering we have a company-wide four days off in two weeks--everyone's scrambling to get things done. plus, there've been dinners with friends, extracurricular projects and, now, a new addition to my little apartment.

that's right: zadie the cat came to live with me last sunday! i wish i had a good picture to show you, but she was so shy until, like, yesterday that i haven't gotten any great snaps. here's a not-so-great one (ok, it's terrible, but at least you can see her); you'll be happy to learn that, although she's still scared of oscar and is adjusting to my apartment, she is the cutest, cuddliest, sweetest little thing you'll ever meet. i'll take better pictures this weekend. this blog can always use a cat-themed post, right?

so aside from spending time with the felines this weekend, i'll also be celebrating a new friend's birthday on saturday night and, hopefully, getting some exercise (i started spin classes again this week and they are amazing!) and doing a deep-clean of my apartment--it's about that time, especially since i'm preparing to go on a little vacation soon. going to the farmer's market would be nice, too.

what are your plans for the next few days? whatever they are, i hope you have a perfectly sunny, summery weekend. see you back here on monday.

p.s. my best friend jenn is moving across the country today for a new job--huge congratulations to her! she's one of the kindest, smartest, strongest people i know--the kind of person who can empathize with the best of them but also has no qualms about telling it like it is--so i'm positive she's going to completely kick ass. xoxo to you, jenn!
