weekending

 

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a good weekend; mine was so good. I had the perfect blend of family and friends to make it the best kind of weekend that I love. I hope you can say the same! Here's what I was up to this weekend. 

I love starting my day like this when I'm off work. I'm trying to do this throughout the books of the Bible this year as I read through it again. These are the things that I noticed about God as I read in Genesis. 

I lingered around my house for as long as I could before leaving to get a pedicure. This was a treat on my day off! 

I had told one of my work besties that I would bring her dinner after her surgery. She loves potato soup, so when I remembered that Newk's has the very best, I went to eat lunch there and then got hers and her husband's to-go. I also took them a loaf of sourdough bread that I'd made the day before. This week I gave away both of my loaves! 

I finally convinced Jonah to take a picture with me! We were cracking up when I took this; when he stood next to me at first he wasn't smiling. When I asked him if he was going to smile and he said, "I am.", we both lost it, and this was the result of that. It's less about the picture and more about the memory, right? 

I took dinner to Amy's house, and then came home for a few minutes before leaving again to spend the evening with Marilyn. I love our weekends together! 

We ate dinner in that night and had barbecue chicken, bird's nest scalloped cauliflower somethings, salad, and a tiny bit of this wine that I was excited about. It was good, but I only had a few sips. I took stuff for us to do our nails, but we ended up talking the whole night. Imagine that! I didn't stay long since I had to work for a couple of hours the next morning, from 7 until about 9. 

Early morning coffee and vitamins for the win!

I flipped through the latest AD that I got in the mail while I watched a really cute Hallmark movie. 

Then I brewed five gallons of coffee while I did things in the bookstore to get ready for Sunday. I liked spending that time there to get things done, but it was weird being there without being dressed for work. I went in leggings and a hoodie, and I kept my hair up in the messy bun you see with my morning coffee. I was a little embarrassed when I saw a few more people than I thought I would, but at seven o'clock on a Saturday morning? This is me not caring. 

I did actually get dressed, though, because I met up with Mom and Trish for lunch and a spring open house at my favorite young friend's decor shop, otherwise known as John Mark's. I was kind of bummed I didn't see him this time; I enjoy seeing him and talking with him. It's shocking that he is so young and such an entrepreneur! 

It was packed, but the store was incredible. 

I dropped Mom and Trish back at their vehicle, then I came home, but I left again to take something to a friend. Before I came home, I got a car wash to get all the salt off. I love having a clean car! 

Our snow always lasts forever in the front yard because it faces north. I went to Mom's and Bill's for dinner that night; Bill made the best salmon! We had that, steak bites, baked potatoes, and salad. It was delicious! 

I came home shortly after to shower and then I just sat in bed and watched tv with Chloe. Jonah wasn't gone long before he came home to finish moving his bedroom furniture to the bigger room at the end of the hall. I'm so irritated that Drew was here to help and I didn't get to see him! I was passed out in bed. 

I laughed at this image when I walked out to the garage this morning. Jonah and his friends like to sit out here at this makeshift table to play games. I think it's genius! And then I was at work by 7:15, ready for the day. That was just about all I did for the rest of the day! What did you do this weekend? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!

Jenn 🩷❤️
