this weekend was a pleasant one. a slow, steady, wandering one. it started late saturday, with a rush to catch the train after meeting the cutest puppy. it continued with bottomless chips and salsa, wearing green, dancing, walking through the streets. we bopped from friend to new friend to old friend, restaurant to bar to street side. until we ended the night on meg's floor.
sunday was sleepy and sunny and sweet. shelb and i woke up slowly and kindly and took our time getting to the subway. we brunched at butterfinger pancakes on garden omelettes, fruit gulps, and coffee in gangnam. we got lattes at a coffee shop in the back alleys of itaewon. we biked the han river and tried not to get run over near yeoido. we sipped green juices in noksapyeong while we waited for our grilled cheeses. we visited a small home shop and bought chili back in itaewon. then i raced to catch the 7:10 ktx back home. then the subway. then a taxi. (i love when i can get home in almost an hour, bullet trains are aaaamazing and subways that line up well are even better).
it was not an organized day, but it was not a chaotic day either. we ended up taking the brown line four different times. back and forth. around and about. it was a splendid day in lovely company. sundays are supposed to be savored, not devoured. absorbed slowly before the busy-ness of the week begins again. the calm before the storm. the last deep breath before diving in to another monday.
i will hold on to this sunday tightly.
