I also learned I'm hosting Easter. Sort of.
My mom's sneaky. You guys remember the thanksgiving fiasco? Where my mom wouldn't go to my brother's because then she couldn't cook even though it made more sense for it to be at my brother's? Well, she's having it at my house so she can stay the night Saturday and cook on Sunday.
The weekend was pretty great over here. Beautiful weather!
We went out on Saturday for a long walk and a nice lunch. On Sunday, I got the chance to chat on the phone with a friend I haven't spoken to in way too long. I also decided to pre-prep/marinate some meals for this week. It was a low-key weekend, but I feel good about it. It was nice and relaxing.
It was awesomesauce. I forgot how good it is to be by yourself for more than a few hours at a time. I feel like I truly had a chance to relax/recharge. Friday, I drank fresh from the tap local brew and ate leftover pizza while watching a movie at home. Saturday, spent all day (literally) with the ML ladies--picked up some fab new dresses and laughed my ass off. Sunday, low key--did some shopping and prepped for getting the kids back.
My weekend was good. Friday I bought new running shoes & hung out with my friend who just got back from Hawaii, then spent the night with M and went on a trail walk with him on Saturday. Saturday night was a coworker's birthday celebration and then yesterday M and I went kayaking and to brunch. Very full, very fun weekend.
I had a lot of hours to myself yesterday - maybe 5 or 6 and it really was pretty great. I forgot what it was like to spend time with myself with no pressure to do anything.

The beach was amazing! I'm so glad I went! Although it was a little lonely at times. I was disappointed to learn that most of the shops closed at 5 in the afternoon on Saturday, and by then it was really windy at the beach, so I went out to dinner and then headed to the hotel for the evening, watched movies and took a long bath with a glass of wine. Sunday morning was amazing, even after the great dane tricked me into getting my shoes wet. I did so much walking on the beach that my legs are sore, but I feel great! I also took a really cute picture that I haven't shared on fb yet because I haven't had a chance to download it from my camera yet.
I took the long way down (about 4.5 hours, 265 miles) and the shorter way home (about 3.5 hours, 216 miles). Oddly the drive down was so much prettier that it felt shorter.

My weekend was pretty great. I saw a Beatles tribute show, we got to hang out with some friends we hadn't seen in ages, and played CAH. I also baked a pie and watched a lot of Veronica Mars.
Apparently a lot of craziness went down at work over the weekend though, so today has been interesting. I'm glad I'm not the one who has to deal with it.

I will be the downer of the post and say I worked all weekend. Boo.
Next weekend I'm taking my little brother to comicon here and I think he'll love it. Karen Gillian from Doctor Who is coming and he is obsessed with Doctor Who. I bought 3 day passes for Boyfriend and I and Brother is coming on saturday.
I am eating a super healthy lunch from Noodles and Co. Which is actually super unhealthy... Wahoo!
My weekend was fun. (sarcasm, see my "Kill me now" post) The weekend got a little better from there. We got some yard work done and A played outside a lot, which helped when it came to bedtime. She was feeling much better by yesterday morning.
Getting her to take her meds is a challenge, for sure. Daycare can't give it to her in her milk, but they didn't tell me that at drop off, so H has had to go there twice (first time she was napping) to try to give it to her.
I had a chicken tikka masala wrap and a pear for lunch. I feel healthy! Also, I'm switching to tea in the afternoons instead of more coffee. The mother of one of my clients told me this morning that I look like I've lost weight. She also figured out in our last session that I'm getting divorced (no rings, no photos, etc.) and today was telling me how happy and free I seem now. Hooray!
