I Love Weekends

I love Fridays. I love how fast the work days go, knowing that they are last one of the week. I love the opportunities they bring to do something fun and relaxing. Last night, Keagan and I went to A8, a Chinese restaurant in Orange City. As we sat there, we had one of those moments- a moment where you feel like everything is just...right. We ordered  Egg Foo Yung and Moo Shoo off the menu (just to finally figure out what each one was). We were sitting, enjoying our meal, when we noticed that the funky, instrumental song that was playing, was "I Believe I can Fly." Seriously wonderful. The chain of songs to follow did not disappoint. We sat, enjoying our meals, the company, and the hilarious mix of songs that should not have been instrumental dinner music, but were incredible just the same. We finished the night off with a movie and...jello. Perfect.

I love Saturdays. I really, really, love Saturdays at home with no solid plan or agenda. Some people hate cleaning, some people hate organizing, and some people hate meal planning. For me, that's what I fill my Saturdays with, and that's what I thrive off of. I feel accomplished when I tidy up the house. I feel creative when I think of new and more appealing ways to store and organize items in our house. I get excited thinking about what kind of food I get to put on our table for the next week.I love doing it all leisurely, with breaks, and getting to the end of the day having everything ready for the next week. I love Saturdays.

Today we:
Enjoyed our usual mac n' cheese lunch (we keep things easy for meals on the weekends). Cleaned the bathroom top to bottom.  Dusted everything in the living room that needed it. Pulled the loveseat cover off and vacuumed up the gross crum collection. Got all of the laundry washed and folded. Did the dishes and disinfected the counters. Planned meals for the week and made a grocery list for shopping tomorrow. Paid off a big chunk of a school-loan! yay! Wandered outside to get the mail, take a silly picture, pet the cat, and empty the collected compost. Put clutter back where it belongs. Experimented with a few camera settings and brainstormed the picture book of our home I will be making. Started my recipe-organizing project.

We also enjoyed a little bit of rain.
