you just have to put things on hold sometimes.

since i go to school in the mornings + teach like a maniac all over town at night
and adam has meetings in the mornings + works at night (read: all evening and laaate into the night),
we have this window from 12:30 to 3 pm on tuesdays and thursdays where we can spend some time together.

lately this time has meant opportunities for a lot of list making and organizing
which,
don't get me wrong,
is fun
but it can also take its toll.

so,
there we are...
driving to another destination on our to-do list,
feeling sort-of stressed,
when we suddenly find ourselves sitting on old & cracked leather booth seats,
eating a five dollar eggs and pancake combo,
and giggling so hard that we're (well... just me...) spilling syrup all over the table (we adam cleaned it up, don't worry).

it was really nice.
i mean... really nice.
even if we didn't get to ikea in time,
sometimes you just gotta stop and eat pancakes, you know?
that råskog and jonsbo oröd can wait.

xo.
