Weekending - January 29, 2021

Again, Monday has come much faster than I had hoped it would.  Our weekend was....well, very mundane.  There were a few highlights.  Let's do a rewind ~

Friday I left work a little early to start the weekend with Eric.  He had his first full weekend off since November!  When I walked in the door, he had the most gorgeous yellow roses waiting for me.  He is such a sweetheart!

We spent the evening relaxing in front of the television.  Frankly, we were both exhausted.  I had set the alarm every day the past week at midnight to try to get Eric an appointment at Walgreen's for his covid vaccine.  No luck.  I had heard that they add appointments at midnight, so if you wanted one you need to logon at that time to try to snag one.  So, after a long week of interrupted sleep every night, we gladly spent Friday night setting on the couch doing nothing.  I grabbed a magazine and a cup of tea and was totally content.

Speaking of those covid vaccines, is anyone having luck scheduling appointments?  I would love to hear your secret to success.

Saturday morning I decided scones were in order, so I whipped up a batch.  We both worked out and had a late breakfast.  If you are looking for a good scone recipe, try THIS ONE.

It was pouring rain outside so we knew our planned activity of eagle watching was not going to happen.  We decided on watching a matinee movie in our family room instead.  The chosen movie was The Dig from Netflix.  The review:  very average.  Not bad, not great.  

Since I was already comfortable on the couch, I decided just to stay there for the rest of the day and binge Bridgerton.  Great way to spend a cold, rainy winter day!

Sunday's weather didn't really look much better for the eagle watching, so we decided to stay home.  We watched another matinee, The Little Things on HBO.  The review:  it had total thriller moments, but the ending was just confusing to me.  Have you seen it?  

The puzzle I ordered from Amazon on Thursday that I thought would arrive on Saturday finally hit our doorstep Sunday at 6:00 pm.  So much for Prime!  We immediately dumped it out on the kitchen table and started putting it together.  

Comfort food was on the menu for supper.  We made Loaded Potato Soup and served it in bread bowls we had picked up at Panera.  You can get the recipe HERE.

Hey, total random thought - My favorite pair of pumps are on sale through February 3 and you can get free shipping!  I have both the blush and taupe (each on sale for $19.99).  Love them!

Now it's time to slay February!  I've decided that this month my goal is to cut down on my plastic bag and paper napkin use.  I bring my lunch to work every day and use way too many plastic baggies.  The food can just as easily go in a reusable container and we have plenty of cloth napkins at home.  No need to constantly be using the paper ones and throwing them away.  

Have a great week and I hope to see you back here soon!
