This short week is flying by- Thursday already! Before it's too far gone, here are a few scenes from our long Memorial Day weekend. Saturday's outing was the long walk to the bookstore + coffee shop. (Already shared.) On Sunday, Ivan and I walked Charlie at a nearby marsh, and then went to lunch at… Continue reading Weekend scenes and soda updates/advice from Chat GPT
Happy Memorial Day long weekend to those in the U.S.! I always love the long Labor Day/ Memorial Day weekends because it's 3 days off without actual "holiday plans", i.e. it's just 3 days OFF. Yay! I wrapped up work just a little early on Friday; I think I logged off around 4:15-4:30. I noticed… Continue reading Friday cleaning, teens + messy rooms, long weekend, CLOTHES
Darn it, broke my blogging streak yesterday. I have no excuse besides that I was just doing other things and kept saying "I'll do it later". But then later kept getting later and then we ended up watching a movie last night - Remarkably Bright Creatures!!, on Netflix- and, well, clearly, I never posted. I… Continue reading Oops, okay, this time I did forget to post
9:30 p.m. still counts! 🙂 I just sat down for the first time since I finished working at 5:30. I had a very thrilling Friday night around here. Ivan is away tonight with a friend, Ethan is away overnight for tennis, and Asher had golf, then work. He should be home soon. I decided to… Continue reading I didn’t forget to post 🙂
Given our abrupt re-entry post-vacay, I was Very Happy to not have many major plans this weekend. Ethan did have an overnight tennis tournament, but we didn't go. They played Friday during the school day (why? I really don't know) and then Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. Hopefully we'll catch some other closer matches soon!… Continue reading The weekend, misc.
Ahh, it feels SO NICE to have a mid-week departure planned, on the heels of a wide open weekend. This has most definitely not always been the case lately. On recent trips we've had multiple Friday night departures, which means working all week AND trying to get ready for trip... This Wednesday departure was planned… Continue reading Weekend: pre-spring break
I’m so relieved swim season is over now! It is SO FUN and there’s sadness when it ends too, but I was soooo excited to see nothing on the calendar this weekend. I spent Saturday mostly in a relaxed catch up mode. Nothing was “urgent” but I have a long list of things to do… Continue reading Finally breathing room
Blogging has had to take a very definitive back seat since we got home from Mexico! I guess 'tis the season that there are a lot of competing priorities. I spent this past weekend in sort of a pre-holiday CRAZE. I suddenly felt this huge pull to just get our whole house "Christmas ready". Even… Continue reading Quick check in/ last weekend/ shopping?
Whew this was a busy Saturday. I had a list a mile long of things I wanted/needed to do this weekend. Unfortunately I can't say I checked everything off, but I did check off some big things, so, that's a win. Of course, as usually happens, I also did several things that were not on… Continue reading Lots of things + some wins
After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
