Facebook, Mara Rooney & Central Park rediscovery

My FB withdrawal has lasted for 3 days already - and counting... So far, no major falling outs, no agonizing over the phone, no separation anxiety. Hurray - to me! Had an itch to post some photos from our yesterday`s outing to Central Park but took a breath and let that desire flutter away from me like a colorful butterfly... Discovered Mara Rooney the other day - through a movie "Side Effects", not through FB. Got fascinated by her exquisite facial features. Every girl is allowed a secret. I guess she could become my little post-marital celebrity crash. Or actually just a crash. Don`t like to admit that I`m as weak as everyone else picking a superstar to follow. She is just a girl to my liking. I guess the fact that both of us have high cheeks allures to me. She seems very fragile and ethereal to me - not sure how one could have an earthly relationship with her, unless you are believing you are an elf... Yesterday made an effort to walk with my family in Central Park (my husband decided to explore the lower 70s this time). Taking Sofia to the nearby Riverside Park bootcamp/playground I almost forgot how it felt to be surrounded by vast open spaces of greenery, freely roaming cute doggies, trees swinging their wild hair over me and an overwhelming lack of crying, crawling, fighting, drooling children. I laid down on the grass even in spite of the fact it was damp and I didn`t care about the fact that underneath myself I put an expensive jacket from Barney`s. My back was resting, feeling the soothing vibrations of my own Mother, Mother Earth. Sofia was running around free of all constrains at last. Of course, Ali was following her at a close distance. There were plenty of doggies of different shapes and sizes - Sofia grabbed on to the green ball and would not throw it to the dog. But the dog was also behaving kind of erratically - whenever Sofia would run after him, he would sit and waive his tail, & when she was not interested, he would start making circles. Overall we had lots of "spas" ("fun" in German, which I`m kind of learning these days) in CP.
