Where do weekends vanish?

So the weekend flew.

How does time vanish? It feels like someone has turned it into liquid and poured it down the drain. It disappears that fast!



So I sat back and took stock of what I did and where it all went.  I realized that mine had been a pretty packed one. I think if your weekend is packed you should be allowed to take Monday off.

I swear I had intended to! But come Monday and I was drowned in work. I did not even look up upto  three thirty. (When my children come home from school--that is when I stop working)



Let me tell you what all I did over the weekend.



I watched a play on Friday at Alliance Francaise Bangalore. It was called 'Cheating cheaters' and was by Masquerade, a  Chennai based theater group.



One of my closest friends had called me and asked me to go and watch if I could. Her son was in the play.  Of course I made it. Front row seats too. He was brilliant! I was so proud of him.

I have carried him as a little baby (so many times) and watched him grow. My heart really filled with pride to watch him give a stellar performance as an adult. He later told me he was so happy I could make it and I told him how proud I was of him and my friendship with his mother.(It is a friendship of thirty years! I feel blessed to have her in my life)



On Saturday, I executed two card orders. But I cannot show them to you yet, as they haven't yet been given out to the intended recipients by the people who ordered them. But I can share with you, two other cards I made.

This one was for a eleven year old girl--my daughter's 'bestest friend'.

"Mama--make the BEST possible card ever," my daughter ordered.







How could I NOT oblige? For all I know this might be the foundations of a friendship which will last a lifetime for her. (Like my friendship of 30 years). 



Needless to say my daughter loved it. So did her friend. Nikita's mother said this one is going to be framed!







Here are a few more cards I  had made earlier.

On Saturday as well as on Sunday I also shopped, which is usually an activity I hate doing.

But  this time it was fun as I had some very efficient personal shopping assistants who also double up as my fashion consultants. They tell me what looks good on me and what doesn't suit me at all or makes me look fat :) Yeah, they are very honest like that. Sometimes a bit too honest for my liking :)

But they are almost always right.And it helps that one is a male and other a female. I get a balanced opinion you see :)



And then, I also read two books.  (yes, TWO!) :)

I read a lot. At any given point in time, each room in my home will have a book I am currently reading. I cannot be without reading.



I read Lynne barret lee's 'Out on a limb' (it was only an okay read. I am a big fan of her writing though). I also read 'The Power' by Rhonda Bryne.



Currently I am reading  this one:







There is only word for it--BRILLIANT! (Both the illustrations as well as the writing).



What did you do over the weekend? Where did yours vanish?

Movies? Plays? Books?



Tell me! I want to know :)
