The weekend that made it here a year later....



Oh gosh - the first weekend with the time change...

can I say it for the 300th time just in a week - I hate the time change & it getting dark by 6:00pm... sigh... humph...


It just seems to make the weekends go by so fast too when it gets dark early...

I still enjoy them though - don't get me wrong.

Friday was pretty lazy.  I actually stopped at the grocery to get all the ingredients for a black bean/quinoa chili that I saw on Meet at the Barre Friday Favorites & then headed home & waited for the hubs to bring home some pizza.

Friday is our pizza night - routine - a given.

We were pretty much our 80 yr old selves Friday - especially because the hubs had to work on Saturday so an early morning for him.

I wanted to sleep... but again, stupid time change still has the dogs getting up early & once Harvey Dent is up, the whole house needs to be up.



It's for the best.  He needs to have an eye on him.

I usually do a good job of cleaning the house while Ricky is at work but ended up getting caught up in the whole Binge watching thing on Netflix that I missed that chance to tackle the dust.

Instead, I ended up watching more Gilmore Girls while working on my Bible Journal.

Saturday:


I consider that a good trade off.

I was good & at least got a workout in before Ricky got home too so I could check that off the list.

Ricky got home & had a sore back & just laid on the floor... Harvey Dent was one happy boy to see his daddy come down to his level...

Harvey:
Is that pitiful or what!?!?!?!

I ended up working on editing some pictures that I took a few weeks ago & got caught up on my DVR...

not an exciting day...

& I LOVED IT.

I could really get used to these lazy Saturdays. I forgot what they were about.  Or how wonderful they can be.

I filled it with yarn work, adult coloring books & more Gilmore Girls...

That pretty much sounds like the day of a 13 yr old.

& of course, I made the chili.

Ricky gets nervous when I make new food.  He went down to Home Depot while it was cooking & I would not be surprised if he snuck in a quick bite so he would have a full belly without the need to eat it anything at home if it turned out bad....

but man, he ended up LOVING it... me too!

Chili:



Here's the Pin right HERE


Black Bean Quinoa Chili for an easy slow cooker meal! #vegetarian #slowcooker #fallrecipes:


With full bellies, we ended up rolling down the steps & made it a movie night.

It only took a little over a year, but we FINALLY got around to watching Maleficent.

Maleficent - movie poster - Simon Delart:


WHY???? Why did we wait so long?

I absolutely loved it.  Everything about it.  Dang it - it even made me like Angelina Jolie & I still have a grudge with the whole Team Jennifer thing.  Bygones.

Sunday we ended up heading to church & happy to see a few familiar faces again in a big building... & then we just took it easy with a trip to Target, lunch at Outback, stopping at Sam's Club- where blueberries are now marked down to $7.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw Ricky across the store & started pumping my arms like I won the lottery about blueberries.  Its the little things.

We made a trip to Starbucks on the way home & then just took it easy on Sunday evening...


... & I ended my weekend waiting anxiously for The Walking Dead.

... yep, this is STILL me... DANG IT!

Glen is ok... right?  The walking Dead:

All in iall, It was a pretty good weekend ...

I have a wedding next weekend so I really needed the down time.

... & I never did get around to that cleaning the house thing...

oops...

but my nails look great & I'm through Season 1 of Gilmore Girls... so there's that.


How was your weekend?

  5. I haven't seen Maleficent but we watched a little of Sleeping Beauty last night. :) Landry was in a trance. I honestly don't know if I have watched Sleeping Beauty since I was little because I couldn't remember it. Now I want to watch the whole thing and then watch Maleficent! I'm glad you had a relaxing weekend, and I saw your nails on IG!! AWESOME!
