i survived the dentist visit and other weekend things.

it wasn't so bad. i must've maintained my teeth better than the last time. but i really hate those drills. ugh. the sound is just the worst. {getting chills just thinking about em now}

it's miraculous though how the day cleared up for me after this visit. so bright, sunny and cheery. does that happen to you? {enter sneaky smiley face here}

we squeezed in a trip to goodwill where i picked up some more frames and a beautiful wire basket style single wine holder thingie {am i doing a good job describing it?} -- i think i may put one of my milk bottles in it with pretty flowers. think it'll look nice.

we also spotted a beautiful piano for $200 that i wanted to take home with me. i literally walked around goodwill saying "piano", "piano" under my breath the entire time. unfortunately we don't have room for it in our apartment now so we didn't get to bring it home with us. {darn it!}

you know, i once had those butterfly in my stomach moment playing heart and soul with yangkyu at columbia university. we were there to teach some students how to play poongmul {or korean traditional drums}. during break i went over to the piano and yangkyu came by and we played heart and soul together. we weren't dating. just friends. but i liked him. i was 22 and it was one of those moments where i immediately went home, called up my best friend and gushed and squealed over it. to this day i sometimes look at him and wonder how we ended up getting married. {enter warm smiley face here}

we also spent some time under the blanket with our space heater watching non-stop sister wives. i always thought of myself as open-minded but i didn't realize how much judgement i had going into watching that show. sister wives is addicting and surprisingly warm and mind changing. 

hope you had a wonderful weekend!
