Weekend Adventures

 

I am coming off a four day weekend, and it has been (almost) complete joy. Yesterday I told you about my day of writing on Friday, but there was so much more to the time off than that!

            Last Thursday, my first day off, I traveled out of town to speak at a luncheon. Ryan came home to check on Lexi partway through the day and sent me this picture of her saying hi to me. Isn’t she adorable?

            While I was passing through town, I met up with a couple of friends I hadn’t seen in years. I think I last saw one of them four years ago – and it might have been more like seven for the other. Two coffee dates – lots of catching up!

            And then…lunch! I didn’t have my photographer with me, so I didn’t get any pictures from speaking that day, but I did get a picture of the menu. Does that count?

            When I got home – tornado warnings exploded all around us. It was a scary night. Hiding in the shelter, trying to keep Lexi calm, hosting our neighbors so they could have a safe place…it was a lot of eventfulness in a short amount of time. The pictures from around us were so sad. So much damage!

            Friday was my writing day, and I already told you about that. Ryan had to work (very) late that night, so Lexi and I hung out at home and watched a pretty sunset.

            Saturday was Lexi’s grooming day, so while she went to that, I shopped for my capsule wardrobe. (Starting those clothes TODAY! So excited.) And her appointment took longer than usual, so Ryan and I grabbed a coffee date while we were out!

            We also had dinner with our small group on Saturday and went to see Aladdin at one of the high schools near us. I was happy to see I still know all the words to Friend Like Me. (Random things that take up space in my brain!)

            And then yesterday we had church and were home the rest of the day to enjoy time together before launching into another busy week!

            It was a good weekend. Can we figure out how to do three day work weeks regularly?
