    长周末深呼吸

         劳动节的周一下午,坐在铺着蓝色碎花布床单的大床上,身边是大熊帕斯卡尔和穿着黄裙子扎着羊角辫的小公主。楼上公寓传出竖琴声声,于是干脆关了音乐,就听着初成调的多来咪,也不觉是噪音。

         中午跟妈妈一起做了丁丁炒面做午饭,之后出去散步两小时,一直走到布法罗市中心的theater district,经过著名的franklin rue和shea剧场,期待什么时候有机会去尝试一下,好象潜意识里已经在为那一年一度的black tie event筹备行头。市中心很多漂亮的建筑,妈妈走之前的最后一个周末,希望会有好天气,要带她去拍些照片。路上在sweet tooth小憩,分享turtle sundae一杯,为这个夏天划了一个甜腻腻的句号。

         我一直很羡慕能在一个城市生活很多年对一切了如指掌的状态,我想这跟我这些年来居无定所而不知身是客的漂泊状态有关。我很迫切的想要了解布法罗,却淡定坦然地一点点观察,毕竟这是我未来很多年要生活的地方。在布法罗一个月之后,觉得这个城市让我有独自去瑜伽馆咖啡店音乐厅的勇气,这很难解释,也许是因为我自身的成长,但还是想感激她的低调和宽容。

         周五去同事家晚餐,一群人摇着压面机做意大利面,锅里煮着香喷喷的肉圆,桌上有新鲜番茄配意大利干酪的色拉,冰箱里藏着他的厨师嫂子凯利亲手做的香蕉奶油派,还有很多很多瓶Pinot Noir。饭前凯利致祷告词,说祝简妮妈妈回中国一路平安,让我们很感激。周六带妈妈去Waterloo Outlet买了一堆Ralph Lauren,又在BCBG和Ann Taylor淘到一套西装裙几件上衣一条裤子,这个秋天不再买衣服了,到去芝加哥开会之前,一定坚决不买衣服了。最近烤了几次蛋糕,都相当成功。昨天又买了烤pie的盘子,决心要在这个冬天,布法罗白雪皑皑的周日下午,烤出一个又一个香喷喷的苹果派,然后拿去跟同事朋友分享。

         上周的纽约客里有一句话,说every word or gesture you make is not an inquiry but an action,觉得很有道理,作为一个成年人最起码的,是要对自己的言行负责任,即使不问不说,自己心里要拎得清,要知道自己是谁。看到九月的日历渐渐充实起来,知道习惯一旦养成,再丢掉就会不舒服,所以靠自己的好习惯要去培养,依赖别人的坏习惯,躲得越远越好。
