Friday night I stayed in the city for drinks for a coworker who's leaving and was home reading in bed by 10. Since I had to be in the office today and Saturday was super crowded at the shore for the spring block party, I decided to stay home this weekend and work from there a few days this week.
Which meant I could get a lot of shit done at home on Saturday, including but not limited to: consolidating and checking on the pantry cleanout progress; getting groceries at Redner's including the adult excitement of buy one get two free; cashing out $51 in coins for an Amazon gift card to order some shit I need for the dogs and house; all the laundry; some of the ass breaking yard work; making a delicious dinner; bathing a surly little dog; and finishing one book and starting another.
I spent a lot of Sunday reading and cooking but also changed sheets, did more laundry, got stuff ready for the week, identified some things I’m not using and should sell, and started to purge my clothes in a more hardcore way than I’ve been purging. More and more I think...what if I actually wore ALL of the clothes I keep? And how much more space would I have if I got rid of what I don't wear?
Sunday afternoon I went to Mom & Rich's and saw Kate & Dan and the kids, Stephen & Aubrey and the kids, and Swan. I ate snacks like I was going to the chair and topped it off with a slice of Amato's pizza they ordered for dinner. We sat out back until the rain blew in. I was home reading by 7:45.
Weekly food prep: I was going to make eggs for breakfasts but I ran out of containers. So eggs will be made when something frees up. Until then, I have frozen breakfast burritos. Lunches/dinners are tacos or taco salads or crispy pork carnitas. Sides are rice and refried beans. I made a peanut butter pie concoction to use up one of the two tubs of Cool Whip in the freezer. Three ingredient frozen treats for los perros (greek yogurt, organic pumpkin, peanut butter) and bone broth for them too.
How was your weekend?
You've seen the video for This is America by Childish Gambino, right?
Show Us Your Books tomorrow!!!
Sounds like a pretty productive weekend! I need to sort through clothes as well! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteSounds relaxing but productive. Saturday we had a walk against hunger which I kind of wanted to bail because I was grumpy. Although food insecurity is a huge platform for me. So I walked and I’m super happy I went. Then we had a Kentucky Derby party it’s unusual for us to attend parties but I’m trying to shed the “Cinderella” in me where I feel like I need to be home by a certain time or I’ll turn into a pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteSunday was church and laundry.
I have been a fan of Childish Gambino's for a while but that video is so thought provoking. The ignorant comments about his video make me want to ask people if they really are that oblivious to their privilege.
ReplyDeleteI did purging at home too. Getting ready for my Mom's visit, always a good reason to deep clean and get rid of stuff!
Sounds like it was a productive weekend. My sister cleaned her closet this weekend as well and donated 8 bags of clothing. It's amazing how many clothes we purchase yet never wear. Trying to be more mindful of it but it's hard.
ReplyDeleteI felt like it was a pretty productive weekend at home too. Except my dogs who need baths haven’t gotten on yet.
ReplyDeleteTell me about the frzen dog treats!
ReplyDelete... er, frozen
Deleteum B1G2 (B1G3) is definitely adult excitement!!
ReplyDeleteLots of reading in your weekend :) I'm glad it was a productive and fun one! Those frozen treats for the pups sound perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'd just live on the PB cool whip pies anyways ;)
ReplyDeleteYour taco dinner looks super yummy. Glad you got so much stuff done and squeezed in friends and family. I need to bath my dog, thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteDang! I wish I had just half of your motivation!!
ReplyDeleteYES, i feel you on clothing and the purging.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a nice weekend. I am with you on the clothes purge. I got rid of TONS of stuff this winter and I am back at it as I go through summer clothes. If I didn't wear it at all last year it is gone.
ReplyDeleteThose carnitas are amazing, right? I could use a weekend at home like that. It's amazing how quickly things pile up.
