Happy Monday!! This weekend flew by. Don’t they all though. It was rainy almost all of Sunday so it was pretty laid back and lazy but that made it nice since the night was full. Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
Friday was our early release and we headed back to Margarita’s, a few more people joined us this time and we had a bunch of laughs. Day drinking completely knocks me out though so Friday night was a wash.
Saturday morning I finished the book The Promise of Stardust, and it started off a little slow but the end, I bawled. So good and well written. Left you thinking so many things from so many angles. Go pick it up right away!!
I went for a hike, and it was the best form of therapy. The sounds of the birds chirping and the stillness just always calms me.
I finally vacuumed out my car, it’s been on my to-do list for like 3-4 weeks.
I binged watched a few episodes of Suits. Why did no-one push me to watch this show before now??? So good, and Harvey’s smile…swoon!!
Sunday was a rainy morning so it was reading and more Suits. I also got some cleaning done and grocery shopping.
I had a party at my Aunt’s house from my cousin who was up from Florida to introduce us to her new baby. It was also her birthday tomorrow today and another cousin’s birthday so we celebrated that as well. Got to see my nieces too which is always fun. My Dad was there too so I got to spend some time with him.
Sunday night it was time for the second season of True Detective with Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitch. You know I wasn’t missing that show. Good lordy those boys are hot.
How was your weekend?
Linking up with Biana from B Loved Boston.

lol i’m the same with day drinking. i can’t hang. glad you got some time with family! i really liked the season premiere of TD! i think it will be a good one.
Kerry says
It makes me so sleepy! I am excited to see how the Season goes, I love all the main characters though I am a little lost of some of the storyline.
Linda sheridan says
Sounds like you got the rain we were supposed to get during the day. We had rain Saturday night late and a nice Sunday! My sister lives in the mountains and walks in nature every day!! It’s divine, literally, for her.
Enjoy the first week of summer !
Love,
SMD’s Momma
Kerry says
It was getting so back especially from the hiking and now the beach. Hopefully one day it cools down enough to do it. Thank you, I got in plenty of kisses whether they wanted them or not! Ha!
Kerry says
Saturday night sounds much better than during the day. That does sound divine.
Hope you are out enjoying the nice weather!
Heather (@mylittlehea) says
I don’t think we had any rain this weekend, it was supposed to hit us last night and still nothing. Looks like a great weekend spent with Family. I love that you guys get out early and your office gets together for drinks. We’ve done that when they let us off early, but it’s not often enough! Definitely added that book to my TBR.
Kerry says
It is nice since this is the first year. It totally makes me sleepy though so the rest of the day nothing gets done! ha!
It is so good, really makes you think and feel.
Biana says
I thought of you on Saturday since it was so nice out I knew you’d be out for a hike!! So happy you finally got into suits – it’s so great and I’m so ready for it to come back this summer!! Happy Monday girl! xo, Biana
Kerry says
It was beautiful, perfect weather. I was hoping to go again on Sunday but nope. Ha! I can’t believe I waited this long, it wasn’t on Netflix and I can’t stream Amazon Prime on my TV so that is probably why, but it’s SOOOO good. Happy Monday!
marie says
It was so nice out on Saturday, glad you got your hike in. So jealous of your early release Fridays. Lol. Seamus is too cute.
Kerry says
The weather was perfect for a hike! They are so nice and so good to finally get to go out after work with friends.
Lauren says
We had free HBO this weekend so Andrew was watching True Detective and Taylor Kitsch was nearly unrecognizable without the scruff and long hair! The Promise of Stardust is available at my library but I just started that Mischief Bay book so it will have to wait, though I’m not really feeling Mischief Bay too much. I don’t think it’s very well-written, so if something exciting doesn’t happen soon, I’m moving on.
Kerry says
I totally bought HBO just for True Detective. I miss Taylor’s longer hair but he’s still fine. I liked Mischief Bay but I know sometimes they don’t always speak to you, Promise of Stardust is much deeper of a book.
Brianne Bracco says
Love True Detective!! I still don’t know how I feel about this season yet…we will see as the plot unfolds. I think I just loved the first season so much, it’ll be hard to compare it too lol.
Kelli says
I’ve needed to vacuum out my car for weeks, it’s so hot though I just keep ignoring it.
Your nieces are to cute as usual!
Kerry says
It was getting so back especially from the hiking and now the beach. Hopefully one day it cools down enough to do it. Thank you, I got in plenty of kisses whether they wanted them or not! Ha!
Bri @ My Life As... says
There is nothing better than being in the middle of nowhere/nature. I was thinking that last night when I was laying in my parents’ yard. (I grew up on a dirt road that has exactly 3 houses on it.) I just feel like breathing is easier there than it is when I’m back in TX in the city. I definitely wasn’t made for city life.
Kerry says
It is so peaceful and you really get more clear thinking done. Beats the city any day of the week!!
Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis says
Hiking sounds like a great form of therapy. Florida is way to flat and hot for that unfortunately!!
Kerry says
Boo to Florida! Haha! You do get unlimited beach days though so I am a little jealous! 🙂
Stacia says
The Promise of Stardust sounds really interesting! I’m adding it to my “to read” list for after we finish moving. 🙂
Kerry says
It is so good, very deep and lots of things to keep you thinking. Hope the move is going well and on schedule.
Rebecca Jo says
Oh mercy… a book that will make you bawl. I get torn. Want to read it, don’t want my heart broke 🙂 #firstworldproblems
Kerry says
Haha! I totally get it. It was so well done and I really only cried towards the end. Totally worth reading.
SMD @ Life According to Steph says
I hope I can catch True Detective this week, I’m not sure if I’ll have time!
Love your hike pics.
Kerry says
It was so good but I am still trying to figure out the characters.
Thanks it was so nice out that day.
Kimberlee @ I Have A Degree In This! says
Looks like a good weekend. Always good to get a hike in 🙂
lol I preferred the man candy on Ballers but excited to see how this season of True Detective turns out!
Kerry says
It was such a good hike!
I have to get caught up on Baller, I recorded it.
kathy at real talk says
TD is recorded and i really hope it’s better than last season because i did not like last season at all! this season (the trailer) looks so good.
Kerry says
Really!! I liked last season but I like so many more of the cast members this year. The first episode was really good.
Sharon says
I’m always looking for new books to read during the summer so I’ll have to check that one out! Sounds like you had a fun weekend despite the rain 🙂
-Sharon
Kerry says
I am looking forward to reading them all and I joined a second challenge. Welp! It was still a good weekend despite the rain.
Kate @ Green Fashionista says
Looks like a beautiful weekend, love all the hiking you fit in 😀
Kerry says
I spend so much of the warm weather hiking. It’s great exercise but I don’t feel like I’m working out.
Nadine says
Day drinking can be exhausting for sure!!! I will have to check out that book, sounds good. I have had vacuuming my car on the list for longer than 3-4 weeks. Try like 2 months. Yikes!!! Have a great week!
Kerry says
It tires me out for sure. It was so good, deep and thought provoking. It is already dirty again!
jackie says
ooh we dvr’ed true detective – can’t wait to watch it!
Kerry says
It was good though I am a little confused, might need to watch it again! 😉
Amy @ The Crazy Wise Woman says
You always make me want to hike but every time I go outside right now I start sweating buckets instantaneously. It’s going to be 96 tomorrow. I’ll wait till fall. Looks like a fun weekend!
Kerry says
That is too hot. It’s not that bad here only 85 degrees. Fall is really nice for hiking.
Emily says
I’m jealous of how close you are to hiking areas – take me with you some time!
Kerry says
Absolutely! Anytime you want to go let me know. I am always up for a hike!
Erin of TexErin-in-SydneyLand says
I have not watched a television series in ages. So, I watched the premiere of True Detective. Man, those are some effed up characters!
Kerry says
True Detectives is going to be so good, how can you not with all those awesome actors, and actress. Looking forward to this season!
Meghan @ Champagne & Suburbs says
What a great weekend! Have you watched Wayward Pines? You should check it out if not. Also, you know I always love Seamus sitings! xoxo
Kerry says
I have, and i like it so far. I was a little confused but I like the creepy factor.
Kristen says
totally agree about the promise of stardust!! so many feels.
Kerry says
It was so good, left me in tears!
