Weekend Recap

What a weekend!  It was successful to say the least - I rested, I had fun, and Im ready to tackle the week.

John left for the weekend to go to the Tomah tractor pulls and I had the weekend and the house to myself.  It was lovely.

Friday night I came home from work and reorganized the coffee table with new baskets for the bottom shelf that I purchased.  I think we had papers from three years ago that I finally got rid of.  I also hauled a few laundry baskets upstairs to be put away later and finished cleaning the downstairs that I didn't get done earlier that week.  Then I made some supper and started to watch Glee from season 1 on Netflix.  I think I fell asleep fairly early, although I am not sure since I feel asleep watching TV on the recliner in the living room.

Saturday morning I called my sister in law Tricia to see what time they would be ready to start the day.  Tricia, Storm, Cater, Mom and I were going to go to Galena for the day.  Galena is a little touristy town about an hour south of my house with tons of fun stores.  We started the day with stopping for lunch at Happy Joes in Galena and then parked the car downtown and walked around and stopped in a few store for about three hours.  Then we headed home.  I dropped Tricia and the kids off, and then took mom home.  I had to go to church Saturday night because I had a parish council meeting (I am the secretary) and had to be there.  Church was interesting and pretty uplifting - another post for another day. The meeting went by pretty quickly and then I went to mom and dads for a really late supper (I was not hungry until nearly 8pm since we had lunch at Happy Joes).  I left mom and dads just before 10 and went home - again falling asleep to some episodes of Glee.

Sunday morning I woke up and realized I wanted to finish cleaning the kitchen before John came home so I did that.  I ate some breakfast and watched some tv again.  Then I went for a walk - ended up going 3 miles and was gone for exactly an hour.  I honestly though I was going to stop at one point and just go home, put kept pushing through it.  I hope to walk tomorrow morning before work, but I know I can't get in one hour, so maybe a half hour before work and a half hour after - that's the plan anyways.

After I came in from the house I was a sweaty mess - it was nearly 90 degrees so it was hot anyways, but I was gross.  So I'm standing in the kitchen drinking what seems like a gallon of water, when John comes home and his friend Steve also stopped in (one of the friends that went to the tractor pulls) - Steve needed a new xm radio antenna and we had an extra.   I was rather embarrassed that he saw me looking like that, but oh well, his problem for showing up without me knowing ahead of time :)

After Steve left and I cooled down some more, we went to the living room and started to talk about our weekends.  Watched some tv and apparently I was tired because I feel asleep. I took at least a two hour nap.  Then woke up, made some supper, did a little cleaning, now blogging and getting ready for bed.

Hope you all had a good weekend too!
