72 Hours

I'm a sunny day kind of gal...for reals. In fact, Erik's mom gave me one of those light boxes for Christmas. It's called "the mood improver". Ahem. To her credit, she quickly pointed out that I could also put somebody else in front of it. Nice save.

Having said that, I'm always pleasantly surprised at how very much you can find to do inside when a stormy, long weekend lands in your lap. Things like, cleaning up and organizing a book shelf and a desk in your bedroom...

You're just going to have to trust me on this one; big improvement!

Or, you could spend some time practicing an art...
 
In pajamas you put on Friday night...and never took off!

Or meeting a new friend...
Or watching (two-thirds of) a favorite trilogy...
And then faithfully recreating the battle at Helm's Deep...
How about a hair cut for your puppy?

It was such a lovely, blustery, Winnie-the-Pooh kind of weekend, which cleared up just enough for a before-dinner stroll over at my mom's house on Sunday night.  The rest of the weekend was perfectly spent with my favorite boys.

Now all I need is a sunny, warm, spring-like weekend so I can attack the yards and get out on the lake with our new canoe. I know that's coming, but if we get another stormy weekend...or two...before that, I won't be too sad!

  1. Like sweeping pounds of dog hair and mopping floors with weeks of dog prints. Like scrubbing shower tile. Like cleaning up the photo files on the computer and fixing the nagging pdf problems that required finding a particular menu of settings...I know it's here somewhere...
    Not that I didn't resist. I tried to get out to the yard to work. I don't mind rain. But it was too cold even for my level of housework avoidance!

  2. @Kelly ~ heh. My mom has a sign in her kitchen that reads: Gardening Forever Housework Whenever. There are always a few things that don't get done around here...computer related things tops that list over the last weekend, but I still have hopes that it *could* happen this week! What can I say? I'm an optimist, plus I don't have a bag-full of new yarn to distract me. ;)
