[having a chocolate chip cookie and coffee for breakfast]
in about an hour my lovely one will be landing in india, and i've been quite the global voyeur keeping track of his flight path [technology is amazing!]. i'm filled with anticipation just thinking about his arrival. to me, landing in a foreign country is an experience like none other; i was never able to fully articulate the power of this feeling until a friend directed me to pico iyer's pitch-perfect description of those first few moments in "the thrill of arrival".
this weekend i'm freshening up my line of children's stationery, and of course, i'm feeling a little lonely... but also excited for the fresh pieces of inspiration that will no doubt flow into artsyville soon from foreign lands. happy saturday to you all :)
UPDATE: i just noticed there's no landing gear on this plane. now that would be an arrival to remember.

aw.. my lovely is away this weekend too! Right before we leave for vacation!! Hope you have a great weekend- a chocolate chip cookie is a great way to start :)
(myself... I'm having a cherry frosted pop-tart!)
awww you must be missing him already. i hope it all goes ok for him over there and that he copes well with the malaria pills hallucinations :)
have a nice weekend!

k: oh, a frosted cherry pop tart - (why do they even have the unfrosted kind?) yum...
t: thanks! i hope you enjoy that well-deserved weekend :)
Now that I'm back home I have to catch up with your posts...
For how long is he going to be away? You sound like you can handle it fine; me, I'd be walking up my walls if husband was away for too long...
:)
oh esti, i'm already on the ceiling! but i have a few handy coping mechanisms that i'm sure will surface on a future post. good to have you back :)
i hope your girls will keep you happily busy to occupy your thoughts while he's away.
i really want to see your stationery and hope you share with us very soon :)
*sigh* India is so far away. I hope he isn't gone too long. Skype, if you haven't already tried it, is WONderful.
I didn't know you made stationery! I did a little of that in New York and miss it. I would LOVE to see your creations. I'm sure they're heavenly!
I hope you do make it to Japan one day. The bread here is to-die-for. So incredibly fluffy and soft. I had chocolate bread for breakfast, myself. Another co-inky-dink! You know you have your blogging buddies if you get too lonely. :)
no landing gear.....aaaaaagggghhhhh
This is beautiful! I love the boldness and simplicity of your pictures - and they bring a big smile:-) Wonderful work!
wow, you're all doing a marvelous job of keeping me company! thanks!
and welcome linda sarah :)
Wow - sounds like an amazing time - have fun!
sending you big loves while your love is away!!
oh aimee, this is such a good reminder. i'm in such a funk today, and it feels like it'll last forever-- but you just never know what will come, do you? so great!!
awww, I hope he'll be back soon. I bet you miss him! My other half will be away from tomorrow too. I'll be missing him too!
