ahhh Monday

Good Morning everyone. After a very long eventful weekend. I am back at work and feeling pretty good. I think I have finally kicked this persistent cold. I am feeling healthier, and more organized(ish). Best I have felt in a while. Still working on the mental stuff, but I will get there in time.


Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with my little girl were the best. I love when we have 3 days together and have nothing planned during the day.


Friday, I took her to school. Which gave me just enough time to get a bunch of stuff done at the house. I started the laundry, cleaned the inside of my car, and straightened up the house. You know straightened it just enough so that Averie can destroy it again. I picked her up and we made a Target run. Have I mentioned that I love that place. We bought a Naked juice, and some salami and cheese and headed to the park. We played for an hour! It was so much fun. Brian and I had pizza and beer for dinner. Best dinner combo EVER! I look forward to my Friday's. I think I can say they are my favorite.





Saturday we went to dinner a the 524 Club with Brian's Aunt Gloria and Uncle Steve. First I had coffee, and did more cleaning.



Dinner at the 524 Club. It was a great visit. We do this once a year with my Father in Laws side of the family. It is always fun. Especially now that all the kids are getting older.






Then there was Sunday. I don't even think I need to say much. I can show you.








Coffee, Car washing, gardening, and running through sprinklers. Fun, Fun, and more Fun.

We went out later to celebrate Brian's nieces 18th birthday. I put Averie in a pair of roller skates, but I think she is still al little young for it still.

That brings us to Monday, and this weather! I had to dress accordingly. I am in no way prepared for this kind of weather. My psyche or wardrobe. 


I have so many things on my list for the week. I need to go to Traders, buy Averie some sandals and summer clothes, get a gift card for a birthday at the end of the month. Blog about my meal plan for the week, and getting back into my workout routine. I miss running.

Lots to do. I guess I will get started working and prep everything that I need for the week.

on the books as the longest weekend ever

Happy Monday everyone. I hope the weekend was wonderful.


I think it is safe to say that this was quite possibly the longest weekend ever, which would normally be a good thing but...... I am sick STILL! Illness when you have a little girl to mother, and a husband to wife, and a household to maintain makes for a long weekend.


Okay, okay, enough complaining. I did get a few things done.


On Saturday I made a batch of minestrone soup. It's a great work lunch, and it will save me a couple bucks. I tried to relax a little bit, while Averie napped.




Tell me that you are all loving my photo angles.


Saturday night Brian went out to play poker with the guys, so Averie and I made pizza and read books. She loves to "read". I put it in quotes because she is not actually reading, but she is trying. I eventually end up reading to her, and 9 times out of 10 she will fall asleep to the sound of my voice.


              


After Averie fell asleep I decide that maybe a beer would help me fall asleep. Not only did it not help, but my veneer came off before I even managed to take my first sip. Lucky me.




A broken veneer prompted an emergency phone call to my dentist. Who was nice enough to come in on a Sunday to fix it for me. I wouldn't recommend this but if you want to try and lose weight, break a veneer. The root of the tooth is exposed and you cant eat or drink anything. Great diet. NOT! I was starving after only 18 hrs.


I did no meal planning, I did not do much cleaning. I did get laundry done, YAY for me. Oh and I managed to make it into work today. The dreaded Monday. So off I go to work, don't you all love work.

Things I am loving Friday #3

Happy Friday everyone!


I am so ready for the weekend. I don't have a lot planned, but I am planning on a lot. If that makes sense. I am so ready for this, "Things I am Loving Friday" post. It is probably more accurate to call this a things I am wanting post.


  • I would like this patio set. It is such a great price. Is it weird that when asked what I wanted for my birthday, I answered, a Home Depot gift card.





  •  I would also like one of these outdoor rugs. It will either would look great under the above table. I am not able to decide on which one. Maybe everyone can weigh in and help me choose.




  •  I am loving these solar lights. I only bought one strand just to check them out, but I love them and need 3 more strands to finish off my backyard décor. They are automatic, they charge during the day and pop on at dusk. The lighting is soft and  soothing.




  •  This $5 iPhone case from Target. I am in love with it. I am in love with Target I think.



  •  Another Target find. I know I think I might be obsessed. But I am trying to organize my whole life in just a year. I feel like I can do it, but at the same time it is hard and I am very anxious.




I will try to do better this weekend documenting. I am hoping to feel better and that would mean I am up to doing more, outside and around the house. I do have a few things planned, but they are not the most exciting. I am going to make pizza dough, banana bread, minestrone, and taco seasoning. I bought these very cute jars from Target. Yep Target folks, and they make for the perfect vessel for my homemade taco seasoning. Other than some cooking and baking, we will probably spend some time in the back yard, but it is going to be a pretty low key weekend overall.


I hope everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
