I really needed that long weekend.
The best part? All of it.
Thursday I stopped at the butcher to use a Groupon on chicken and ground turkey, and was annoyed when I got home and found that the dude had given me bone-in chicken. Sunday I went to thaw one of the chicken bundles and realized that he actually gave me boneless chicken for bone-in price ... Score! $1.79 a pound vs 2.99 a pound. I wish I had bought way more now.
Friday we did some comparison shopping for more things we need for the deck, but didn't actually get anything. My list is an umbrella and umbrella stand, two throw pillows for the chaise, and cushions for the regular chairs. We've decided to keep our old furniture and refinish it the same color as the deck. It's good furniture, just old and we didn't take care of it as well as we should have. My father-in-law ordered the railings which should be in next week.
Friday night my neighbors came over for hamburgers and corn and roasted zucchini and lots and lots of sangria. Lots. Of. Sangria. It was a good time.
Saturday was a friend's daughter's first birthday party; dinner with family Saturday night for family birthdays, a longer run (2.5m). Late night watching The Kings Speech.
Sunday - bacon and brie quiche, lounging in the kiddie pool, watermelon, baseball in the backyard, sunning on the chaise, catching up on DVR, a short run (1.9m), Harry Potter movies. Good times.
Five more days of work, and then I'm graced with another 3-day weekend. Will it top this one? Only time will tell! Hope yours was good too!
