weekending

 

Happy Monday, friends! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for today's blog post. How was your weekend? Mine was really good! 

I got mine started with my dad coming over on Friday. I'm learning with him that there are good days and days that are not so good. As sweet as our Friday was two Fridays ago, this one was a little different. It was still good, but it wasn't quite the same. It's okay, though, and I'm still so fortunate to have had the day with him for the conversation we were able to share. Bless him! I wish I'd gotten a picture of him, because he looked so handsome when he got here. He had on my favorite hat, which makes him look so dapper. I didn't get one of him in the hat, but I did sneak this one when Chloe jumped into his lap!

How cute are they? Five seconds later, this was her position. 

She's so finicky. 

Todd worked all weekend, so I made plans with my friend and fellow blogger, Marilyn. We haven't been able to get together since last fall, so it was great to see her and to catch up over our amazing dinner. We met up at a favorite Mexican restaurant, La Perla Tapatia. I had their chicken street tacos and she had a taco salad. Judging by how we both cleaned off our plates, both were delicious!

We called it an early night, because the place was packed and I am pretty sure they were waiting on our table to clear off. We didn't mind and both had movies or shows to go home to watch. I have been anxiously awaiting season 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, so I came home and watched the three episodes that dropped on Prime TV on Friday. 

If I had known that only three episodes had released, perhaps I wouldn't have binge watched them all so eagerly. Even so, I was not disappointed! Have you watched this? I love an angsty teen drama! I stayed up late watching old episodes of Grey's in bed later that night. 

On Saturday, my sister, mom, and I made plans to meet up. I needed gas in my car, so I left home early to drive to Costco for that. 

Have Kindle, will travel! I throw this thing in my purse and take it everywhere. I anticipated a wait as they drove here into town, which is why I brought it with me that day. Sure enough, I was able to read a couple of chapters while I waited on them to arrive to our meeting spot. We got started off at Marshall's, where I found another bottle of the conditioner I love, and these awesome new sunglasses.

I've been wanting a pair of the flat front glasses since I first noticed them. These were $12! I love them and how comfy they are. After Marshall's we went to lunch and had chips and dip, then we ended our day together at Ulta. I was looking for a cream eyeshadow stick and found the one I was searching for. It's the elf brand, and it's a creamy pink color. I tried it on and liked it! I was trying to see it over my other makeup, but this is sort of what it looks like.

Todd was watching me try to take this picture and was totally making fun of me while I did this. It's hard to tell here, because I already had makeup on when I tried the new color, but I really do like it and wore it to church on Sunday. I came home after this and watched When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark Movies Now app, trying to catch up to the new season coming out soon. I love this show! I ended up ordering a Greek salad and large cheese pizza for dinner that night, which Jonah and Noah gladly shared with me. It was delicious!

Lost Pizza is my favorite pizza place by far. Their cheese pizza is to die for! 

It was such a beautiful day on Saturday. I couldn't resist these pictures of the sky, and the one below, driving down one of my favorite roads in my town. They ate right away, but I took a quick shower and washed my hair before getting comfy and then coming back downstairs to eat. I have a weird thing about not liking to shower when I'm alone in the house at night. Is that weird? I just don't love the thought of not being able to hear, so while they were downstairs eating, I shut myself in my room and showered really quickly. Also, it let my hair air dry before I went to bed that night.

I saw these meme and cracked up, because it is so unbelievably true. Todd took Callie outside last Sunday to blow her off with our pet grooming tool, and this was what our street looked like afterward. 🤣

I ended my night with a glass of my favorite wine with a couple of ice cubes, since I forgot to chill it first.

We were at church on Sunday, then home for the rest of the day. I took a long nap, and so did my hubby! He picked up sushi for us for dinner and brought it home, then for the rest of the night I read and semi-watched the show he's been watching lately, NCIS. 

It was a great weekend, and a good mixture of fun things and staying home doing what I love. How was yours? Tell me something you loved from your weekend, I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!
