Happy My Finds Friday, vacation edition!
What a lovely, lovely mini-vacation it has been, I have gotten so much accomplished, including plenty of relaxation. Wednesday I spent the morning getting into a new series, Scandal, it is soooo good, I wrote a couple of blogs posts and then I went on a nice long and luxurious bike ride around Buffalo. I do enjoy taking Emmett with me in his trailer, but sometimes it’s nice to get out their on my own. I came home, made myself a nice lunch and relaxed some more.
Thursday, after taking Emmett to take day care I came home and cleaned. Cleaning is totally NOT relaxing or fun, but it needed to be done and having things clean makes me feel so much more relaxed overall. So it’s win-win! I had made plans with my sister Bridget to meet in-between her college classes and I completely forgot, I had gotten so absorbed in my cleaning that I let our lunch date slip on by. Thankfully she has a nice long break between classes so I was able to shower and get out to Panera, before she had to go back to campus. It was really nice to get to sit and chat with her, it had been so long since we had an opportunity to do that without any interruptions. Seamus was picking up Emmett, so when I got home I went out on another bike ride. It has been such a beautiful 3 days, I’ve gotten out and made sure to soak every bit of it.
And today, today has been wonderful! Seamus took the day off and we’ve spent some time just being a couple. We went for a leisurely breakfast and then ran a few errands, we relaxed watching some TV and talking. It was lovely! Seamus went to workout and I blogged, I’ve been blogging like crazy since I’ve been off. It has been heaven! Tonight we’re meeting my parents and siblings for dinner at Danny’s, I can’t wait to see everyone.
