Hello Monday/weekending

 

Happy Monday, friends! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for this blog post. 

I got the weekend started with Dad. For our Friday, it was a busy day! I had been out at seven that morning to get an oil change in my car and by the time he got here, I felt like it had been a full day. He came over and was busy as well and dealing with the company who was scheduled to go to his house to repair their A/C unit.

His phone kept ringing, which was a good thing because it meant they were getting it fixed. It was a really hot week here last week and it wasn't the best timing to be down an A/C unit. We finally finished our BLT's from McAlister's, then we came to my house, where everyone kept coming home. 🤣 Todd has been here for three Fridays in a row, then Graham and Jonah were in and out as well, because they finished early for the day. It was a little chaotic, needless to say, and it went by faster than we'd hoped, but it was still a fun day. He loves getting to see everyone, because that doesn't usually happen anymore since they all work full time.

That night I came home and watched the show I've been watching on Peacock, Below Deck. Have you seen this? I love it! It's a reality show about the sailboat/yacht life and all that entails running such a thing. I had mahi mahi and rice for dinner, which sounds good but was a little overcooked. (I did the fish in the air fryer again and cooked it too long.)

On Saturday, I spent the morning and part of the afternoon with Mom and Trish, my sister. We just ran a few errands and then had a yummy lunch at a Mexican restaurant, where we just had chips and dips. (Salsa, white queso and guacamole.) I came home and read while Todd got ready for work that night, then had pizza for dinner while I watched AN ENTIRE SHOW on Prime Tv. 

I made Oakley ride with me to pick up the pizza. The show I watched is based on a book by Jenny Han—The Summer I Turned Pretty. It's been on my to-read list forever, but I've never gotten around to reading it. I broke my cardinal rule and decided to watch the show before I read the book and I'm glad I did! It was incredible. Have you seen it? There is some language in it, but the rating is 16+, so it's not bad. You should watch it and let me know what you think, but it's the perfect summer show.

On Sunday I went to church and sang in choir, then afterward I joined my husband in the tech room he runs. He is the one who runs the livestream for all of our services. He's very good at his job, which I'm happy to say is actually another job now and he's considered part of the church staff and making compensation for the many hours he puts into this work. 

I love watching him at work. I enjoyed being in there with him, especially when I got hot and he turned on a fan behind me to cool me down. He's my lobster. 😉 

We hung out together for a bit before he went to work, then I went to Costco to load up on food for the guys in my life at home this week, filled up my gas tank, had cauliflower pizza for dinner, did laundry, cleaned up in the house and started packing.

This pizza was SO GOOD! It's Costco's brand of cauliflower pizza that comes with two in a box for $12. I read a little, watched some tv and called it a night so that my mom and I could get an early start on our trip this week. I'll be back here throughout the week, so stay tuned and check back each day!

Tell me something good from your weekend! I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading my blog, friends! Love to all!
