Seriously I have no idea what happened this weekend. I had good intentions of just relaxing and reading since it’s been so hectic at work but then I got it into my head to do a big project. Yeah I know I am an idiot.
The project seemed to be more so the universe laughing at me because it was a comedy of errors. Beginning with the rain that came when I tried to pick up my new Miter saw and load the wood, I got soaked. Then I realized when I went to start the project the guy gave me the wrong wood, it should have been 3/4″ and he gave me 1/4″ which wouldn’t support the shelves. Three trips to Lowe’s later and the project still isn’t done. Womp womp.
Luckily I have a four day weekend coming up and can just relax.
My lunch was a bit of laziness but either way it was delicious!
Project somewhat done before I gave up for the weekend.
My oven also wouldn’t hear up so in one of my Lowe’s trips I have to purchase a new oven. I’ll have to wait a week to make bacon. First world problems, I know!
Decided that some hot chocolate and my last book for the Challenge by Erin was in order.
How was your weekend?
Do you ever have those weekend where it seems everything and nothing got done?
Linking up with Biana from B Loved Boston.
Elle Sees says
yes!! i feel so tired and was busy the entire time and nothing got done. how frustrating for your diy. hope they finish it soon!
Elle Sees says
*you. clearly i need coffee. 😉
Kerry says
Haha! Coffee is in order.
Kerry says
That makes it frustrating, hopefully next weekend is better!
Biana says
Ugh sorry the project didn’t work out for you but that lunch looked very tasty!! Happy monday and here’s to a short week! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Kerry says
The lunch was really tasty, hit the spot. I am so looking forward to a long weekend.
Kelly says
Yes! Often.
But, at least it’s a short week.
Here’s to next weekend! 🙂
Have a great week, Kerry!
Kerry says
So thankful for the short week. Hope you have a great week.
Shay says
Oh no about the project- we have had many many of those weekends around here.
Kerry says
I am hoping it is an isolated weekend and next weekend is more relaxing. A little time out is needed.
Bri says
I’m so sorry that the project turned into a stressful adventure! Chocolate & a book were definitely in order.
Kerry says
Sometimes it just works out that way and you just have to let it go. Chocolate helps!
Linda Sheridan says
Oh, the best laid plans!!! Three trips to Lowes, OMG!
We had a glorious weekend, starting Friday, with a visit from our Lola- first time at Mommom and Poppy’s! A happy hour on Friday night. Riley and Colin soccer games on Saturday. And our visit to pick out our new puppy, BooBoo Bear on Sunday , Sean and Rich enjoying legal beers together at Tired Hands Brewery on the way home, and dinner by the pool when we got home, enjoying this glorious weather. Sean finally got to spend some time with Lola on Sunday night on his way back to school and Stephen sent me great pictures.
I am the luckiest girl in the world and say thank you many times during every day and night!
Wishing everyone a glorious week!!
Love, Steph’s Momma
Kerry says
I am lucky it’s close but it sure did take the fun out of it. Ha! What a full weekend you had, I saw that puppy pics on Instagram. What a cutie. Glad Sean was able to spend time with Lola and take pictures. Very blessed.
Rebecca Jo says
I get it… appliances clunking out is the worst 🙁
Your drink looks so yummy with the cool whip…. what is that?!?!?! YUM!
Kerry says
It was not how I wanted to spend money but such is life. It was yummy hot chocolate. Hit the spot!
lisa says
Ah man, dishing out the $ for appliances sucks 🙁 but your beverage looks so delicious!
Kerry says
It was a bummer and unexpected but I has lasted me almost 6 years since buying my house so there is that at least. I am digging that it is cold enough for hot chocolate again!
Life According to Steph says
I hate when I feel like I ran around and got nothing done even though I did stuff.
Kerry says
It was brutal but it was my own doing, I should have never moved from my couch. Ha!
Darcy says
Bummer you have to get a new oven! No fun! That hot chocolate looks amazing, though!

Kerry says
Luckily the new one will be here on Friday, bacon will be had! 🙂 I love a good hot chocolate at the end of a long day.
kristen says
oh my goodness, that sucks! and your oven, oy. that really sucks!! you need to go buy an electric skillet, we couldn’t survive a couple of days without bacon in our house hahaha. but seriously every time we do something around the house, it’s impossible to just go once or twice to lowes / home depot. it’s always 4 or 5 times! ridiculous. 4 day weekend, i’m so jealous!
Kerry says
I can use the stovetop but it just does’t come out the same. The new one will be delivered on Friday, and I shall make bacon first thing! Haha! I tried so hard to do it all in one visit but it was laughable.
Jana @ Jana Says says
Do you have a griddle? Because it’s a good substitute for cooking bacon instead of in the oven.
Sorry your weekend plans were a literal wash. But you got to read books! So that’s a win!
Kerry says
I do but nothing beats the oven. The stovetop works at least until I can get the new one delivered. Being able to read was the highlight. I have a 4 day weekend coming and reading is the main event. 🙂
Amber says
You lunch looks awesome.
Mm, hot chocolate. Love it.
Kerry says
It was so good a little bit of everything. Hot chocolate is so nice especially on a chilly night.
Nadine says
Ughhh adult costs like an oven are the worst!!!! List that on things we take for granted until we no longer have them! We had to replace an iron last week. Cheaper than an over, but still sucks! I want to curl up with that hot chocolate and that nice spread you made up there!
Kerry says
I totally blows but I am grateful it lasted as long as it did and I had the money to cover it. Small favors. I think this weekend might be more of that lunch, tea, coffee and lots of reading.
Amanda says
Is the oven totally dead??? 🙁
Kerry says
The stove top works but the oven doesn’t go higher than 150 degrees after being on for 40 minutes. 🙁
Emily says
Oh I hate when you buy something and they give you the wrong thing plus having to purchase a new appliance…womp womp for sure! Lucky you with the 4 day weekend ahead. Hope it’ll help you get all you ducks in order. Have a wonderful (short) week!
Kerry says
Yes it will be nice to just relax and have no plans. Knowing me I will still get involved in some project or another but at least I can take my time doing it.
Kate at Green Fashionista says
Sorry to hear about your project! Can’t wait to see the finished product <3

Kerry says
I should have known better I was not feeling it but will try again another weekend.
Heather H says
We just had a long weekend here (Canadian thanksgiving) and I had just one goal: wash the kitchen floor. I literally only got 50% of it done until my 18 month old started walking on the wet floor and slipping everywhere. I did, however, get some good naps and reading and outside time in…so all is not lost. haha. Sometimes I don’t know where time goes!!
Kerry says
Oh wow that sounds like a crazy weekend. Sometimes you just have to roll with it. Getting in naps, and reading time is all that matters! 😉
Marie says
Oh I would be so mad that I couldn’t make bacon either! I’m laughing that you made some hot chocolate. I thought it was way too hot this weekend for it. haha but I’m sure it was delicious. Seamus is so adorable, I can’t get enough of him.
Kerry says
Bacon is my life blood! Haha! Well to be fair I was outside building all day and it was windy so it was nice. Thank you, he cracks me up and was so cuddly the other day.
Stacia says
Ugh! Getting a new oven does not sound like a fun expense. I hope you get your project finished soon!
Kerry says
I was very unexpected but I get it is what it is. Hopefully soon!
Kay R. says
Yikes about the oven girlie! And I am still so amazed you even attempt these projects. You rock!
Kerry says
It was a bummer but at least I get a new one. Thanks!
