in this first week of this new year i wore heels and bright red lipstick. i drank peppermint tea, went back to exercise class, got out of the apartment more, gave thanks for the best girlfriends i've ever had, woke to a package with the most beautiful (and adult) wallet, and wore a new pair of jeans for the first time in six and a half years.
then i flew to cleveland, spent some time with family, and got to see one of the most spectacular women i've ever had the great pleasure of knowing marry the love of her life.
not such a bad way to kick off 2012.
