Thoughts from the weekend
Because if I saved this all for Random Thoughts Thursday, that post would be WAY too long.
- On Friday I came back in a great mood from my run… until I was undressing and realized my driver’s license was not in the pocket I put it in during my run. I was 99% certain it fell out somewhere in the car (not on my run), and was stressed out and annoyed until I found it. Ugh. I did find it though. When I unzipped the pocket it was in to take out my phone in the car, it fell in to that horrible crevice between the seat and the center console (you know, the one that the peanuts and popcorn and chapstick and dry cleaning stubs live in). I tried every different way of adjusting the seats to find it. Then, when I did, I had to use a pair of long tweezers to grab it, cause the slot it was in was so small. Fun times, for sure. I definitely learned my lesson to always keep track of my ID, though! And a huge thanks to Steven for spending time trying to find it, as well.

- On Saturday we hung up the mirror Christina and Will gave us! I love how it looks! Every time we hang something, or decorate, or do a project, or a deep clean, or I walk down the stairs in to the living room, I get this feeling of “Man, I just love this house.”
P.S. That Cinnamon Caramel Swirl candle in the photo? Definitely a new favorite of mine!!!
- On Saturday, Bobbi and her husband came over for dinner and games, and we laughed so hard playing the 5 Second Rule game (not an affiliate link). The gist of the game is that you have to name three things from one topic in five seconds. For example, three breeds of dogs, three tv dads, three national parks, three books, etc. If you can’t name three items in your turn, it goes to the next person, but they can’t list any of the things you did! It gets silly and I was laughing so hard I almost cried. I love that feeling!
- On Sunday, I started working on some wash cloths my mom asked me to knit for her sister-in-law. I was ashamed when I went through my knitting stash and found MANY unfinished projects, and so many skeins of beautiful yarn I’ve been gifted and haven’t used. Ugh. But working on the first cloth, and having it go so easily and all come back to me, and enjoying it SO MUCH gives me hope I will get to those other projects and beautiful skeins! It feels great to MAKE something.
Totally posed knitting by the fireplace photo.
- Sunday was the first weekend day all year that I’ve had a free day with no plans and it was GLORIOUS!!! I got a lot done but was lazy too. My only regret is not taking a nap!

That feeling of dread when you lose something like your DL or a credit card (it’s always the pockets that betray you!!) – ugh. So glad you found yours.
That mirror and the whole wall looks so nice! It’s lovely when you appreciate your home like that. 🙂
YAY KNITTING!!! I’m excited to see what you do – love the colors of that washcloth. What yarn/colorway is it?
It’s so bad! And I had drawn this hot bath and couldn’t even enjoy it cause of the stress. LOL.
Thank you!!!
It’s “I Love This Cotton” in 342 Pink/Green/Purple. I have two other skeins my mom wants me to use too – another that is multi color, and a turquoise. I will definitely post all the cloths when I am done. And after that I have some cooler projects 🙂
The mirror looks great! Every time I make a small change in my house and it makes a big difference I wonder why it took me so long to do!
Thanks! 🙂 We know a lot of the changes we want to make… just no $ to do so! Ha! What kind of changes do you want to make?
The biggest thing I want is new carpets. It’s not so but the $ that is keeping us from doing it- it’s the amount of work it would be to move everything out of those rooms!
Oh yeah, that would be a huge pita to do all that!!!!! Do you have a basement to put everything in?
I love your house!!
Thank you!!! 🙂
I’m glad you’re finding knitting to be fun and relaxing! I always love washcloth projects!
The mirror looks great. Do you find that you have to adjust to certain house projects, or is this one where you feel like it looks like it has always been there?
They’re so quick and easy!
Thanks! Hmm. I can’t think of any that we’ve had to adjust to too much, so I guess it feels like it’s always been there. Or that it’s meant to be! 🙂 I think when we build a garage, that could take a while to adjust to (although it may take so long to build, maybe not!).
I really like your blog. And, you are a knitter. How cool is that.
I’m having a LOT of cool down moments. I’m very tired all the time, as I’m 75 and just to OLD for this CRAP!
You’re Friday answers were used on Sunday Stealing this last week. So, I followed the link.
Stay sane.. take care..
Thanks! Do you knit?
LOL!
Ahh, I didn’t know about that blog, thanks for the heads up!!!
