Howdy do, bugaboo's? It was a pretty chill weekend. We plowed through some stuff on Showtime to try to get the most out of our trial period. Then we were like "now what?" I looked up an antique shop a few towns away and thought even if we didn't go in, it would give us a destination. We went in and while it was basically empty, we learned we were now in a county where people are not interested in keeping each other safe so we left.
We drove around a little, grabbed dinner then it was time to watch an old classic from my high school days, Warlock. I was so hoping for a witchy rendezvous with both the warlock (Julian Sands) and witch hunter (Richard Grant) back in the day.

It's always so hard to remember ol' Redferne is also Cratchit from our favorite version of A Christmas Carol.

I knew when I came down Saturday the tree had its day and I felt like we should get one more good night of lighting out of it so it was plugged in. Then by 10:30pm the thought of coming down to actual living room space took over and I asked the Mr to bring up the bin for the ornaments.

By 12:30am we were finally finishing up with the tree being disassembled and boxed back up. It's so funny how big a room feels once that's done, I'm sure even for you all that don't live in a shoebox can relate. We got a rather pithy dusting of snow after we took it down as a raspberry from Mother Nature. "Oh, no more tree? Here's a little bit of snow to rub it in!"
Sunday Funday consisted of declaring it "why do we have to get out of bed? Nowhere to be!" We have blackout curtains and between that and the cloudy day it was the perfect day for hygge with the room nice and dark and fading in and out of consciousness. Why don't we do that more often?? I had The Point FM on most of the weekend and got excited when Shame Shame by Foo Fighters came on and it brought back such fun memories of childhood when you'd get that rush because it might be your only shot to record it. It was on heavy rotation on our getaway so it kind of takes me back...plus it's just a great song. The Mr had me listen to a few others off the new album that drops in a few weeks and I'm excited for some new music. Dave is the man.
Then it was downstairs to do the first strength workout of the new year with Turbo Fire Sculpt. Those resistance band workouts fool you by thinking they're all tame. LIES. My hands are shaking as I type so tomorrow (today) should be a treat. I made dinner then we chilled the rest of the night. I taped Love, Romance and Chocolate on Hallmark after seeing on Will Kemp's IG it was on Saturday. I've been waiting for that one because it's a good one. He has chemistry with just about every woman I've seen him with but man The Christmas Waltz was especially good. He's a dancer and got to show off his skills in the movie and it was probably one of the best movies they pumped out in a while. (Spoiler: They end up together. That's always what we say when I stumble across a halfway decent looking Hallmark movie..."I wonder if they'll end up together?" 😏)

Good weekend with some good recharging after what was kind of a stressful week. Forgot how much I like that Warlock movie. I am glad we took the tree down finally but not sad we kept it up so long.
ReplyDeleteYou have room to roll around now! I know for us, when we take the tree down it's always so surprising how much brighter the living room looks.
ReplyDeleteGood weekend. Got most of my chores done on Friday so I only had one load of laundry to do on Saturday, which was great. Went back to work Saturday and yesterday and am open to a vacation again any time now. ROFL We are due for a nasty winter storm starting late this afternoon and I'll be driving right in the thick of it, so no bueno. I did tell the hubs he might want to call in tomorrow because it's going to be even worse down where is job is at and he told me this morning he plans on taking the day off.
I wouldn't mind a witchy rendezvous myself.
ReplyDeleteMy tree came down on the 26th this year. Cats and Christmas trees are not a great combination.
Gasp - I can't believe you spoiled a Hallmark movie. I never know if they're going to end up together or not.
