timeout.

the weekend brings a certain kind of inner tranquility that is otherwise rare to find amidst the hustle and bustle of a long, activity-filled week.

it feels good to be able to kick off my heels at the end of the week and indulge in quality "me" time. in the past hour, i've given myself a face mask, painted my nails, downloaded the latest Gossip Girl episode and caught up on some blog reading.

later i will take a shower, wash the dishes and do the laundry. i might even find the time to head out for a quick spot of shopping or to just bask in the beautifully warm weather.

i need a break; it's all too much for me to handle.
