Weekend Update – Extended Edition

I want to say that this 4 day weekend was glamorous, spent in a plush Bed and Breakfast while a svelte god fetched me drinks and cooked my meals but that would be so wrong. I really took the time for a mental break from work, and to tackle the multi-page to-do list that I had going on for too long. Owning a home, is not all it’s cracked up to be.

Thursday was a fairly laid back kind of day. I did a few chores around the house and then went for a hike. I love this place since it is local (only 5-10 minutes from my house).

Figured I would shove this picture in to prove that Seamus doesn’t sleep all the time. 😉

I got an amazing salad from Whole Foods (I did not know how many hot dudes shopped there, for real).

Friday was a very scary day. I woke up and checked my work email and found out the office was closed. One of the Boston Marathon bombers was killed in Watertown and the younger brother fled which is the next town over from where I work. Needless to stay I spent most of Friday glued to the news channels and checking social media for updates. You would think I would get house chores done, but you would be wrong. I sat like a bump on a log flipping channels like a mad woman. Needless to say the psycho was caught!

I did get out to do my part to help and donated blood.

Saturday seems like a total blur it may have something to do with the Watermelon Sangria I made but that was later in the evening.

I stopped at Starbucks thanks to a gift card I received but it was really horrible. We are Dunkin Donuts girls in the Northeast. Did a lot of shopping for nothing specific (pet store, library, target, and Wal-Mart). I organized my kitchen cabinet that I use for my baking supplies. Put everything in Mason jars and made custom labels for each one. So much cleaner.

Sunday included yard work, grocery shopping, long walk with Seamus and then off to my hometown for my Brother’s and my nieces birthday. Yup they share a birthday, how cool is that!
