list no. 2 : 10 things

1. 10 amazing, (and cold), minutes in Griffith Park and up at the observatory before my hair appointment Saturday morning.
2. 9 instances of extreme procrastination today when faced with packing.
3. 8 weeks until A goes on a week long class trip to the mountains and M and I have our first, proper vacation alone since she blessed our lives. 
4. 7 episodes watched in a handful of days of Downton Abbey. I'm officially hooked.
5. 6 bags of clothing gathered this weekend as we continue to purge what we're not using.
6. 5 pounds of unwanted holiday weight gain, I'm trying to not beat myself up about. (10 days of sitting in a car combined with potato something at most meals will do that.)
7. 4 days in NYC begins tomorrow.
8. (Almost) 3 hours spent in the movie theater Saturday evening with M watching Django Unchained, which we loved.
9. 2 bag limit for my flight tomorrow, I'm determined to carry my luggage on and to not overpack!!
10. 1 photograph included in a photography exhibition in NY, (yay!), the reason I'm traveling this week.
