I had so many hopes and plans for this weekend. Then when I went to go do them I just shut down. Everything sounded so overwhelmingly too much work. I took that as a sign that I just needed to relax and do nothing this weekend. There is always next weekend for new projects. Right?
+ I got up at 3:30 am on Saturday and tried to go back to bed after letting Seamus out. So I ended up taking a nap at 8:30am, and twice more that day.
+ I finished the book Once Pure. I read the first and second book of this series and the third was even better. Tears were shed. Some hard subject matter at times but strength in surviving and moving forward. It is being released on May 19th and I’ll be doing a blog stop on the 27th so look for a full review then.
+Sunday was spent going grocery shopping, cleaning house and meal prepping. I cooked some chicken and steak on the grill. I also made some Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.
+ While my food was grilling I took the chance to sit outside to read, and enjoy a beer.
I posted the video of Seamus rolling in the grass on my Instagram but here is an outtake. Silly puppy.
How was your weekend?
Linking up with Biana from B Loved Boston.
Sounds like it was just what you needed. The Judge was on our radar, but we never made it to the movies to see it. Maybe we’ll get it at Red Box. Have a great week. Spring is here!
Yes, I grabbed it from Redbox and it was so good. RDJ was amazing in it!
Sometimes a weekend of lazy is exactly what the doctor ordered, absolutely no shame in that! I need to check out that movie with Josh Duhmal and Emmy Rossum, I love them both. Never heard of it!
It was so nice to not have plans or things to do! It was really good, both were amazing!
Sometimes you just have to relax a bit. I kind of feel that stuff can wait all the time and I am most productive and efficient when I have a specific something coming up -like this weekend. Mother’s Day poolside is what I always want and do not mind cooking. I am happy to have my chickens with me.
It’s not like you did absolutely nothing! Some fine weather we are having, too. Enjoy. Have a happy, easy week.
Love, SMD’s Momma
Sometimes it really is needed. Most all the cleaning can wait. Sounds like you have a fun weekend coming up! It will be nice to have all your family around for Mother’s Day. Hope it is a great day for you all!
yay for a weekend of lazy….sometimes we just need that. seamus is SO adorable; i saw that on IG 🙂
It was so needed! He is just so cute sometimes it kills me.
I’ve never heard of You’re not you – going to have to check that one out!! Girl your Sunday looked perfect!! happy Monday! xo, Biana
It was sad, but really amazing performance by all. It was so nice and so relaxing. My house would have preferred a little more attention. Haha! Happy Monday!
Sometimes a lazy weekend is the best weekend. So jealous that you were out grilling. I so want a grill but my condo association doesn’t allow them. Ugh, Happy Monday!!
Ugh that is no fun! I loved it, now I have all the food I need for the week! Hope it was a great weekend for you too!
Lazy weekends are sometimes necessary, I haven’t had one in what feels like forever!
Yes, it feels like so long for me and I think my body just shut down. I took so many naps!
My weekend was about the same, only instead of movies it was baseball. Lazy weekends like that are the best!
They are the best, no where to be and time to do nothing!
It sounds like the perfect relaxing weekend! I love Emmy Rossum so I’ve wanted to see You’re Not You for a while now, glad to hear that you liked it! Hooray for warm weather & reading good books!
It was very good, hard subject but so well acted! It was perfect weather and i really want to finish that book. Perfect weekend.
Relaxing weekends for the win!
We both had the right idea!
Wasn’t it beautiful out this weekend?! Seamus looks like he was having a ball =)
It was so nice out! He was so excited to just roll around.
The Judge was a great movie. Sad, yes, but definitely great.
Lazy weekends are okay. My favorite, actually.
It was so good, and brilliantly acted. They really do make this more bearable at times.
Sometimes you just need to kick back and do nothing! You are always on top of it friend! Seamus is so excited its spring and that he can actually touch grass! The flowers are gorgeous!
Thank you. I think it all caught up to me. I’ll be back at it soon! He was so happy to roll around, that was like his first of like five rolls in the grass! Haha!
I’m so excited to have a lazy weekend where I can sit outside on my back patio! Once we actually move in and all… 😉 Sounds like a great weekend! I kept wanting to take a nap but never ended up doing it. Bummer for me.
Perfect to look forward too! It is nice to just lounge around and not have plans. Bummer, naps are the best! I took one too many but really not sure there is such a thing as too many naps.
I love Redd’s Apple Ale. I had some this weekend as well. The chicken on the grill looks really good!!
It is so good, isn’t it?! It was so tender and all I did was marinate it in Ray’s BBQ sauce for like an hour or two.
Sometimes you just need to chill and relax! That is basically what I did this weekend as well. lazy weekend for the win!
It was perfectly lazy and much needed! Glad you got some rest too!
Sounds like a good weekend to me. I love weekends w/ no schedules that allow for relaxing!!!
It was much needed and really nice!
nothing wrong with a relaxing weekend, and if anyone deserves it -its you! the judge looks interesting and the book series sounds fabulous!
Thank you. I felt a little guilty for not doing much but I really couldn’t muster up the energy. The Judge was so good, Robery Downey Jr. was amazing in it. Girl, it is so good, love a good strong male character and the women really held their own.
Weekend naps are the best! Sounds like a great weekend.
They are the best. I can’t say no to naps!
Sometimes you just need a rest weekend. I’d been wanting to see the Judge, was it any good?
I really liked it, Robert Downey Jr. was so good in it!
Beautiful flowers! Naps and reading sound so heavenly right now!
Have a fabulous week gurlie 🙂
Thank you! I was so nice and much needed!
I really liked The Judge. So good! I’ve never heard of the other movie but it has a great cast so I’ll look into it.
I hope you have a great week 🙂
It was so good, brilliantly acted! Hope you have a great week!
i hear ya–sometimes movie day just wins out. love grilling out now that the weather is better!! seamus is a cutie as always.
Movie days are so nice and i don’t do it enough! Thank you, he melts my heart everyday!
I didn’t get as much packing done as I thought I would, but I spent a lot of time with the fam, so that was a good trade! I agree, loved those books and I really need to do a review too! Looks like a great day lay out while you grill out and I love the yummy looking Mexican food and margaritas!!
Family time is more important! I really like the series and hope it doesn’t end. Lots of Killian’s brothers could make it go on! Margarita’s and tacos for the win!
I’m so glad that you got to relax this weekend! Sometimes, no matter what our plans are, it’s good to just stop and relax so we can get back to our projects with more energy later. The outtake of Seamus is too funny!
Yes, the rest of the month will be hectic so it was good to recharge now! He is such a funny pup, he kept getting up just to go back down for a roll. So silly!
Sometimes you just need a relaxing weekend, right? Looks like you still had a good one, and so happy the grilling season has finally hit New England!
Yes, it was much needed. The rest of May is going to be crazy so it was nice. It’s finally nice, it was even in the 80’s yesterday.
Lazy days are my peanut butter and jelly. I think I have them wayyy more than I should but whatever. Sometimes being productive is overrated, right? ha
I think i really need to schedule in a few more! It was really nice to not get out of my PJ’s all day!
Oh man I hear ya. Sometimes when I’m overwhelmed I tend to shut down. Like this past weekend I was going to catch up on blog reading but obviously I failed at that. But it’s also good to just shut down so you can power up for the week 🙂 Hope you’re well!
Yes! Sometimes you just have too, in order to recharge and start fresh. Thank you, hope you are too!
3:30 am to let the dog out? He needs a pee-pad like JC, lol 😛
He’s so cute rolling around in the grass, lolololol!
Haha! He really does because as he gets older it’s getting more obnoxious!
Seamus rolling on the grass is the best thing ever!
I love when he does it, he looks so happy. Though he is probably rolling in something nasty! Haha!
