weekending

 

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

I kicked my weekend off with a leisurely morning spent catching up on blog posts from last week that I missed, and then doing a bit of cleaning before Dad got here. And then I got to see my sweet Daddy! It was so good to see him, since it had been a couple of weeks since I last laid eyes on him. We grabbed some lunch and brought it home, and then enjoyed catching up for the rest of the afternoon. It was a good day! Sandy came to pick him up, so after they left, I weeded in our flower beds for a while before coming back inside to figure out my dinner. I ended up having some leftovers from when I'd been gone this week. I sat outside for a while with the dogs after I ate dinner; Todd worked a shift with the sheriff's department, so I watched some movies I'd recorded recently. 

I was playing around with my phone and took these last two pictures. I watched a video on how to take better pictures with your phone, and these were taken using the advice they gave. I also finally got around to writing a blog post about things I've Primed lately...did you happen to catch it when it posted on Saturday? Here's a link to it, if you'd like to read about things I bought and loved.

I was up early with the pups on Saturday after a good night of sleep, thanks to the cozy season being what it is and sleeping with open windows, so I watched a movie early that morning while I sipped on coffee. That's always something I love doing on Saturdays!

I watched this adorable movie on Netflix; it was every bit as cute as I'd hoped it would be. Shortly after the movie ended, I got dressed for the day, then left to pick up my groceries that I'd ordered yesterday. I made the bed first, and added this blanket to the end since we got cold last night.

I came home to unload really quickly, then I left again to meet up with my mom and my sister Trish. We needed to go to Target, Home Goods, and Ulta. After Target, we had chips and dips for lunch at our favorite Saturday lunch place, then we did the rest. I was looking for a candle, and some K cups that I'd had while I was out of town. I didn't find the ones I was looking for, but I did find some other ones to try. I do like flavored coffee at night, or in the morning when it's brewed and poured over ice. I dropped them back at their car, then I went to get a pedicure. 

I got this color by OPI—Charmed I'm Sure.

It's really pretty on my toes! 

I came home to a house full of guys watching football, so I read my book and eventually got up to make a pot of our favorite soup on a perfect fall day. 

Are you a fan of taco soup? This was exceptional! I cleaned up, read some more, did some blog work while watching this favorite Fall Hallmark movie (October Kiss), then joined my hubby outside for a bit before going to bed. 

It was the perfect fall day and night! I'm so relieved to say that, because it's been so hot for weeks on end. Our high that day was 65, which was amazing. I love living my best fall loving girl life! And that's about it for our weekend...on Sunday we went to church and came home to get comfy for the rest of the day. We thought about going out for dinner, but quickly decided to just stay home in our comfies. We watched tv, I read, we napped...it was an excellent day. 

How was your weekend? What was your favorite part of yours? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!
