This morning, an unexpected message from Nicole, has shaken up my sleepy brain a bit: “Greta! I’m drinking wine and need something to read. Publish!” And my instant response to that was “I wish!”
I do. And the brain that does not obey orders seems valueless.
Feels hollow.
Nothing to say… or tell.
Reading blogs and having zero ideas to respond. I think my mind is clearly overworking.
Doing two jobs: at school in the morning and at Cosmopolitan in the afternoon. They both are fun and I can’t pick one over another. I love what I do.
Eating well. Promise.
Cheating on gym for more than a month.
Going to bed at 10 pm and waking up at 5 to have a decent morning in my mini flat, where jeans, shoes and blazers have difficulty finding place as I live between my house in the suburbs and the city.
Spending two days in Paris and returning with this:
Becoming an aunt (for the first time); as my brother’s little princess welcomes this world last Wednesday (so light and tall – clearly a model.)
Loving sushi and pizza (paleo style.)
Dreaming of traveling, traveling and more traveling.
Spending late weekend nights watching romantic movies, with a glass of cold white wine, a big tray of cheeses and my sweetheart.
Hating Vilnius’ pavement, humidity, horror movies and white boots. People who don’t laugh and traffic when I’m late.
Wishing to wake up (if possible not before 7.00) always with a smile .. and hair in trim. Wishing for more time and ideas to have a wonderful time with you. If you have any questions .. I’m here!
Love, Greta

It sounds like you had a wonderful time in Paris! Gosh I wish I could be somewhere exciting like that in so many hours of travelling. I went away for the weekend also, and it took my 12 hours (including two flights) and I only went from Queensland to New South Wales, Australia. It’s simply not fair! 🙂 Much love to you, my fashionable friend! Your new hand bag is gorgeous! xo.

You’re LIVING life. Including all the wonder and little messes. In my opinion you don’t have to write. But it’s wonderful to hear from you. There’s something a little wistful in your words…your poetic soul.
Love to you dear Greta.
Make sure to get that little extra sleep now and then.

that bag is gorgeous. you do lead a fast paced busy life so i can understand just having nothing or no energy to post. sometimes you just have to let it happen and wait for that moment when you want to

The title of this post had me hooked! It looks like you’re doing well, and I’m so glad. And a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you, your brother, and your family!

It sounds like things are going so well for you. I agree that there is something to eb said about balancing the glamour of working in the fashion/publishing world with the “reality” of working with youth.
Which reminds me that I need to make more time for volunteering!

Love this post. Anyone told you yet that you manage to find the most beautiful words to describe the simple things in life? Reading your blog with a glas of wine? I could imagine it… but reading it with my morning coffee, like right now, makes me smile though I got up before 7 am 😉
