That’s what I will be doing this weekend (except with a much less impressive view).
Against all odds, I have made it to my first free weekend in two months, and my second free weekend since the beginning of June. Woohoo!
I know that I said I was going to lay around and do absolutely nothing, not even clean my disgusting house. Yeah… that’s not really going to happen. Mostly because there are things that I would like to do this weekend that do not involve watching TV (and because I would feel disgusting if that’s all I did for 2 days… trust me, I’ve tried it).
So what is it I want to do this weekend? In order of importance (because free days fly by faster than I realize!):
1. Recharge, which means:
- Sleep in. No alarm clock for me! (Except Sunday morning when I have to be at church by 9:15.) And if I feel like a nap, by all means.
- Get in the Word for an extended period each morning with a cup of coffee. This is the thing that I have missed the most. I seriously haven’t done this in 3 months.
- Read! I am currently reading Managing God’s Money by Randy Alcorn. I’ve really enjoyed it so far.
- Take a walk outside in the cool(er) fall(ish) air with the pooches.
- Drink a Pumpkin Spice latte from Starbuck’s.
2. Get caught up. Specifically:
- Clean the house
- Buy more dog food (and decide on which new food to buy) and treats
- Organize all the mail, race stuff, and miscellaneous crap I’ve thrown in a pile in my office
- Write Thank You to the Normans for a great Labor Day
- Grocery shop
3. Train. I would gladly cross this one off my list, but alas, I have paid money for these races and would like to turn out a decent effort. My workouts look like:
- 10 mile bike, 2 mile run tonight
- 6 mile run + strength training tomorrow
- 15 mile bike on Sunday
4. Go shopping. I need would like to buy:
- Housewarming gift for friends
- Shirt for my cousin’s wedding to go with the cute new skirt I got at the thrift store Tuesday (I’ll post my other great finds later)
- Cute decorations and fabric for curtains for various areas of our house
If you think it’s weird that Travis isn’t involved in any of these plans, it’s because he’s going up to Wyoming antelope hunting this weekend. And then he’s going back out to Utah to count cacti next week. I’ll see him for a couple of hours Sunday but that’s it. I’m actually disappointed that he’s going to be gone so much (insert evidence of God’s grace in marriage here!).
Regardless, I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend! I may post tomorrow or Sunday but I forgot my phone in NC so I have no internet at home (gasp!). No phone and no Internet! What’s a girl to do?
See above.
Have a great weekend friends!
You’ve hot a full agenda! Hope you get A bunch done AND still have a relaxing weekend. 🙂
Hope you had a fabulous and relaxing weekend!
Much love,
