just a perfect day.
This past Wednesday, Nina from the oh-so-sweet blog Naturally Nina posed a very simple yet thought-provoking question: What is your perfect day? I know this was supposed to be done two days ago, but I've been thinking about it in depth and wanted to dream up my perfect day. So here goes!
- Wake up to the pull of Ryan's arm around me while he nuzzles the back of my neck and slivers of that soft morning sunshine as it hits my face.
- Slip out of bed and take Rocco out for a quick walk.
- Get dressed for a 5-mile bike ride to our favorite breakfast diner Pinky's where we feast on copious amounts of Jamaican Me Crazy coffee and stuffed French toast topped with fresh fruit and maple syrup.
- Ride the 5-miles back to our apartment with a light breeze blowing.
- Shower and clean up. Get comfortable in pair of favorite jeans and a t-shirt. Play with Rocco while listening to Handsome Furs.
- Head to Mazzaro's Italian Market in St. Petersburg to browse their cheeses, wines, and hard meats.
- Lunch: mozzarella-tomato-basil-prosciutto panini. Dessert: hazelnut-pistachio gelato and a cappuccino.
- Head to a bookstore to catch up on trashy celebrity gossip, modern architecture, and healthy recipes. Pick up a newspaper.
- Go home for a lazy afternoon of doing the crossword puzzle together while listening to the Dirty Three on our record player, napping, playing with Rocco (again!) and having a glass of dolcetto.
- Meet with close friends for a meal with lots of laughter and wine.
- End the day with a warm bath, fresh cool sheets, loads and loads of kisses, and of course, Lou Reed's "Perfect Day".

Hurray! I love it. Our days are so similar too - clearly we are meant to be friends :)
