In my dreams, my return to the blogging world after a break would go like this:
*Parks fancy car in parking spot with my name on it*
*Walks up to fancy building with my blog's name on it*
*Rides elevator to my blog's penthouse office (ya know, located above the baking, crafts, hot glue, glitter, game night and party floors)*
*Visits fancy breakroom for fancy coffee made by a personal blog barista*
*Walks to office that is impeccably designed and removes Out of Office message from blog*
*Ignores the cheering crowd anxiously awaiting my return*
*A hush falls over the crowd as I sit behind my computer screen*
*Ignores the cheering crowd anxiously awaiting my return*
*A hush falls over the crowd as I sit behind my computer screen*
*Clears throat, sips coffee, gulps*
*Starts typing*
*Starts typing*
I'm SO back, islanders, and ready to report on the weekend happenings. It's interesting that, when I remove the pressure of having a blog, I instantly feel more productive. Just thought I'd say thanks for understanding, imaginary friends! Now, what you've (probably not) been waiting for...
Friday
I arrived home (after sitting in traffic for some fire in the middle of the road for like an hour) to help with Darren's party set-up. I cleaned and set the table for the snacks. It turned out really nice... Much nicer than I remember house parties from back in my day! Munch, Hubbs and I headed out around 9:00 P.M. and our weekend plans completely changed while on the road. 2 words - Big. Storm. We planned to stay at my parents' home for a night of relaxation and family fun but, with the sudden change in weather, we made it a relaxing weekend.
Saturday
Our plan was to enjoy a day at the beach but we decided to heed the weather warnings and take it easy. The day went like this:
Mom and I cooked breakfast. The family watched a movie. We all took a nap.
I made a quick chicken salad for lunch. We ate and watched a movie. We all took a nap.
Hubbs and Dad went to the mall while I went shopping for supplies for my Sunday School class. We ate pizza then our little family headed home.
I forgot to mention that I snuck a trip to Starbucks in around 4PM. I thought it was no big deal because it was just a sneaky little iced mommy treat.
BOY, was I wrong!
We got home around 10:00 p.m. Munch went to bed, Hubbs played video games and I was focused on crafts for God baby's shower. I started and finished 2 projects that I can't wait to share:
Sunday
My coffee high was going strong until nearly 4:00 a.m., WHY was I surprised when I overslept on Sunday? IDK. I didn't wake up in enough time for the 8:30 a.m. warm-ups/rehearsal before singing but I made it to church on time, sang from the congregation and had a great time teaching my "big kid" class. Despite not singing, I still felt pretty busy for some reason:)
After church, we had a fabulous ladies-of-the-family lunch at Olive Garden where I found an excuse to have amazing powdered donuts for dessert - YUM! After lunch, I headed to a bridal consultation. Because I got there a little early, I strolled the aisles of World Market and purchased some fabulous paper for another baby shower project... I also snuck another late afternoon Starbucks treat in (I think I'm addicted and haven't admitted it yet).
From the meeting, I rushed home (yes, rush - caffeine made me rush maybe?)to put the new paper to use on a project. Can I just admit, I felt kinda fancy when I finished.
Here's a sneak peek:
A bow holder for the station where guests will create hair bows for God baby. It will hang in her nursery after the shower! LOVES. |
Another awesome weekend down and summer is just getting started... I might be "normal" after all... Well, if it weren't for this humungo hair, maybe I could check the normal box, lol.
Here's hoping your weekend was awesome!
