Do you know what sucks about a three day weekend? Having to go back to work
on Monday. Having to hear the alarm go off at 5:30, again, and dragging my ass
out of bed to get the day started. Oh, that’s the worst. Why must we have jobs to survive? Why most money rule the world? I could
use a whole lot more time at home with my family instead of working to make ends
meet. But that’s just me.
So as you might have guessed, I enjoyed my three day weekend. It was lazy,
slow, and filled with friends. On Friday, I was able to work in the garden. My grandmother came out to help me, which was nice. We got to talk and she "showed me how it's done" in regards to sowing the ground. I was also able to fit in a run which felt really nice. Lately I’ve been having back issues and leg issues, bending
over in the garden has not helped the situation, but I still made my way out
there. Then, I finally went down to the storage building and brought out my
ladies. Well, with the exception of one that is in need of some new tubes, brakes, and
handle bar tape. But soon, she will be up and running with the rest. :) Also on
Friday, Emery went on her first boat ride!! I’m a little butt hurt that I wasn’t
there for it, but there isn’t anything I can do about it. In the end I’m just
glad she had fun.
On Saturday Emery and I spent our time inside and in the garden. After a
nice long nap, we painted our toe nails, and I gave myself a little
extra “pampering”. By that I mean that I was able to use a facial scrub, tweeze,
and lather myself up in nice smelling lotion. That afternoon we celebrated
Easter with the Hogan’s. As religious as my family is, they never really plan
any types of family gatherings or celebrations anymore. Everyone lives so far
off that it’s become more of a hassle to try and get everyone together in one
place. So as far as I had planned, I fully expected to be spending the rest of
the weekend without even doing an Easter egg hunt for Emery. Then, Olivia
called and plans were thrown together very quickly. In less than twenty-four hours,
and by Saturday evening, we were all (my family included) gathered at their
house.
I always enjoy spending time with them. Over the years we’ve all become
like family. Kim and Olivia have been like sisters to me. Once I had to retire
my brother from his “sister-that-I-never-had” duties these ladies gladly stepped
in, and became the voices of reason in many cases. They’ve heard it all. They’ve
been there for me through a lot. And even though Olivia lives hours away we
still maintain a friendship. Kim only lives 30 minutes away (with my brother),
so I get to see her more often, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy getting to see her
any less. Sometimes you just need certain people in your life, and I’m so happy
that I have them. We did an Easter egg hunt for Emery, and towards the end of
the evening we gathered around the table/bar to talk. It was a perfect evening. I'll have to post pictures of it later because they are still currently in my camera. :)
Sunday, we did absolutely nothing. Emery and I spent a good amount of time
eating strawberries, and drinking tea. We had sandwiches for lunch and I
actually made burgers for dinner. Whoa, bet you didn’t think I could cook, huh?
Well, your right. Unless it has instructions, I’m pretty useless. Then, Em
insisted we go out for a walk before the evening was over. By the end of the night, I was dreading Monday morning. And when the alarm went off, I was almost tempted to call in just so I could sleep in for just one more day. But my conscience got the best of me. And because of this, I was dragging the entire day. Hence why I did not post.
Anyway, I hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter weekend!
