Weekend Recap (4/27- 4/28)

This weekend was super relaxing.  I don’t think I did anything out of the ordinary, but one thing is for sure – I relaxed and relaxed and relaxed some more.

Saturday

My alarm on Saturday went off pretty early for a weekend – 6:30AM.  I had to get out of bed and get dressed for a client event in Philly.  The event lasted until 2PM and then the day was mine!  When I got home, I relaxed on the couch and did nothing for a few hours.  A nap was probably involved as well.  I don’t really remember.  After dinner, Bryan went out with some of his friends.  Although I didn’t have any plans, I knew I wanted to take advantage of the gorgeous weather we were having so I sat on our balcony for a few hours with my laptop and some wine!

Nothing is better than quiet time, watching the sun set and having a nice glass of Riesling.  Having that quiet time is super important.  If you’re anything like me, sometimes your mind just says “Go, Go Go!”  It’s IMPERATIVE to remember that everyone needs to SLOW DOWN.  Even if it’s once a week (although I’m trying to do more), it’s good.

Sunday

Sunday morning was pretty glorious.  No alarm clock!  Bryan and I woke up mid-morning and had breakfast out on our balcony.  The weather was great again and we wanted to soak in some sun.  We would have gone for a walk at our local state park, but it’s allergy season and Bryan wasn’t feeling too great.

I was hoping for a suntan, but it didn’t really happen. 

The sun was out for a few hours in the morning, but by lunch time it was pretty cloudy.  Oh well.  After breakfast, we watched Homeland!  The show obviously has gotten great reviews, so I’m not sure why we waited to long to start watching it.  We’re only on the 3rd episode, but I’m already addicted to it!

After watching homeland, we took a nap on the couch for a few hours.  I LOVE napping with the sun shining.  Not sure why, but it really is great!  If it were up to Bryan he would sleep in complete darkness.

My Sunday night ended with some more quiet time before bed reading this book.

Creating Your Best Life is a book I bought a few years ago while I was in Graduate School.  I read it briefly last summer but I don’t think I ever finished it.  I decided last night to re-start the book and this time do a full review on the blog afterwards.
