Saturday Special

Yum, It's Saturday. Saturday feels like a "do over" day to me. It is the one day that belongs to you and only you. The one day where you can sleep in as late as you feel like, drink most delicious french press coffee and take your time getting ready for anything. The dog gets a nice walk to the local bakery, croissants get purchased, hello's get said to neighbourhood friends, and you are not worried about watching the clock at all.

The best Saturdays are when you wake up in a hotel room in a distant city, full of possibilities and far away friends that are near, if only for a day or two.

Saturday feels like a long, soft, wet kiss.
Sleepy yawns
movies and Thai food in bed
duvets and forign newspapers
espresso
bakery fresh croissants
book store
gin, tonic and limes
sidewalk with bits of leaves and seeds 
lawn mowers
cement slabs wet  and slick with fresh rain and
olives slippery and tart
french cheese
newspaper wrapped flowers
scooter rides in far away cities with friends old and new
more espresso.
hair pulled back, sunglasses on
You. You looking dashing. You with all of your confidence. You know who you are.
