Yeah, I know it’s Monday.
But, in the interest of forgetting that it’s Monday, I give you a recap of a pretty good weekend.
First, it was so nice to feel better. I’m not 100%, but that’s ok…my head’s not clogged, I can almost sing, and I slept through the night for the first time in a week without waking up to cough for an hour. So I think that qualifies as better.
At midnight on Friday night/Saturday morning, I took a 48 hour blog break.
I mean, I still wrote on my blog, but I stayed away from the twenty or so that I read on a regular basis.
A blogging friend had done the same thing for a week, and I was inspired.
It was good.
I still allowed myself Twitter and Facebook but found that I spent far less time on them and on the computer in general…and I had tons of time with Tobin and Maelie, which was so great.
Saturday was nice…mid 60′ s and a perfect day for being out
side. Maelie had a wagon ride and some good swinging time, which she loves. Tobin did some work outside, and I sat under a tree and blogged.
We had some visits from neighbors…and it was just a good day to be out, enjoying our awesome neighborhood.
And good to get my first hint of color for the season. Not too much, though. 😉
Sunday was gorgeous…and it started off in the most amazing way. Bear with me…this is a little indulgent. But worth bragging about. A few weeks ago, I tried on a pair of pre-prego shorts, and they were nowhere near fitting me. I was bummed but wasn’t sure if there was much I could do about it.
Yesterday morning I saw a pair lying on top of a stack of clothes and grabbed them, thinking, Yeah, right.
Um, yeah, right!
They fit! (I didn’t even have to suck my belly in, either!) So, of course, I had to try on all of my shorts from two summers ago, and they. all. fit. All of them! Oh, there was much squealing and dancing around!
We went to the late service, and the sermon and worship were both SO good…exactly what we needed. And to top it off, Mae actually sat through the whole service…with some help from a bottle and a container of Cheerios. 😉 We came home and spent some time outside…Mae (again) got to swing, and then when she was taking her afternoon nap, we tossed around the frisbee a little and just hung out in the awesome sunshine.
When Mae woke up from her nap, we decided we should celebrate April 10th and Isabel, so we went out for ice cream.
Sonic is kind of our favorite for a lot of reasons.
We like it, but it also represents a happy time in our lives, so we headed there. It was good to chat and remember…and let a few tears fall. But not too many…it was a really good tradition to start. And Maelie loooooves Lime Creamslushes…it was fun to watch her get excited for each bite.
It was just a fun weekend to be together… me, my hubby, and my girl.
Feeling pretty blessed.
I love it!!! All of it!!!
I’m so glad you stayed away all weekend! Maybe a new thing for you….once a month maybe? Hmmm……a good thing for me to think of as well!
Congratulations on the whole shorts thing!! I just found some in a drawer in my guest room dresser. Oh. I shall NOT try them on. Ha! I keep telling myself the weight gain is better than smoking. I wonder when that won’t work anymore! Ha!
Your whole weekend sounds simply wonderful! And those lime creamslushies sound outstanding.
Remembering Isabel is touching. I don’t know what else to say.
Oh and I’m so glad you FINALLY feel better!! Let’s stick with that for a year….or two!!
Thanks, RG! I love the idea of once a month…and I think next time I’ll even take Facebook and Twitter out, too. I can’t believe how refreshing it was to NOT think about all that was going on in my online world, which I spend far too much time in.
Do you have Sonic near you? I really have no idea where they are located…I think mostly in the South. But their creamslushes are sooooo yummy…definitely worth the calories!
Have a great day! (((hugs)))
