Long Lunch Date Weekend Recap
Howdy do all. Back at the top of the week again. Why are the weekends barreling at warp speed this year? Sigh. Saturday we did what was essentially a 3 hour lunch date. I couldn't handle being around the house anymore this weekend and we live in the center of "no exciting places to road trip" central. We headed to Portillo's and there's a little park we like to walk at since it was a nice day. Then we basically turned around and headed home after being there for 2 hours. I know, a lot of time wasted for that but once we got there, it was nice to see other scenery and eat different food. What wasn't nice was the fact that because I didn't have a project or TV show for distraction, I was in a pretty heavy mental spiral. The projects have been coping mechanisms for some serious Mom stuff coming up, job worries are kicking into high gear, frustration with trying to keep all of these seedlings alive , the house being a total mess, knowing our cancell...
I am ready for fall but, like you, I want it to be a seasonal fall for a change. I am ready for cooler nights and warm days with cool breezes and low humidity. That cross-stitch pumpkin (I think that is how to describe it) takes me back too. My Mom would make cross-stitch items all the time. I remember when I was really big into Pac Man she made me a Pac Man cross-stitch key-chain thing. I didn't have any keys at 9 years old but I still thought it was awesome... Hmmm, where is that thing? I have tons of keys now!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so much cooler here this last week, and nights have cooled off nicely for comfortable sleeping. It's supposed to be hotter again next week, but the daytime temperatures don't matter so much to me now since I'll be at work with A/C, as long as it cools down overnight I'm good.
ReplyDeleteI don't do much seasonal decoration. I don't do much decoration at all really and my place is pretty bland. I always see such cute things but can never figure out where they'd look good or where I could store them in the off season.
Everyone of these is darn adorable! I'm sooooooo ready for Fall! August is usually my least favorite month for the summer (probably because school always started at the end of the month) so I'm thrilled to see the calendar turn over to September. Today is a gorgeous day out with the humidity gone, but I'd be happy for it to be a good 10 degrees cooler (selfish of me, I know). I've noticed a few leaves already starting to turn and I have a feeling with all the rain we've gotten that the fall colors are going to be superb this year. At least I hope so!
ReplyDeleteSo ready to decorate . I love cute scarr crows and straw people.
ReplyDeleteYep, in fact I was so ready, I went ahead and decorated today. We're having the family out tonight for hub's late birthday dinner, and tomorrow IS Sept. 1. I figured close enough. LOVE FALL!
