So if you are not from Texas, we actually had some what of a "cold front" come through this past week and God blessed us with sensational weather on Friday. You trod begrudginly out of your apt door as usual to expect the freshly makeuped face to be wiped away by natures washcloth and then this amazing crisp breeze hits you and all you want to do is dance..... ok so that was a bit novelsque i agree but i did want to stay outside as long as possible!!
So Friday i decided to be a bit ballsy! i just want to do something... though i love to be creative and artsy i just cant stand to be cooped up in this house all day long. i need soooommething to do! i put in a job app about 2 weeks ago so i decided to give them a little facetime to add to the app. i drove to the employer, introduced myself to a couple of people, completed another app (cause sadly i waited a little too long for that last one), and just let them know i was a friendly, available applicant. Even if nothing works out there i still felt empowered having made myself do that
so after that i knew there was N-O way i was going to stuff myself into the apt for the remainder of the afternoon.....afterall, why waste one of TXs very few nice days inside! so i decided i would find me a nice park, read some books, doodle, people watch, explore, and just cont. being ballsy by going somewhere new all by myself in my new city!
i landed only a few miles from the house but in a park/residential space that was so cool i felt like i was in another state! It is a park in Addison that boasts loft style apts with stores underneath, a big main park, theatre, water features, NICE public restrooms, and mini hidden parks at every turn! and of course a giant blue scuplture to top it all off!
heres where i settled for my first hour of reading and watching...nestled in a nice shady spot where i could still hear the water rushing from the fountain and the cars go by around the loop
i then decided to look for hidden parks amongst the apts... while walking i actually felt like i was in Seattle from the looks of the place and THAT made me extremely happy! for my next location i found a quite little place inbetween some buildings
all in all i think i "parked" for about 4 hours... read about interview skills, doodled a bit, made some new doggie friends, watched some people play some odd catching game, walked the neighborhood, and enjoyed the beautiful day!
after that i went over to see Brent and Erin at Crate and Barrel and join the crew for Happy Hour in uptown ;P it was a great finale to the week!
