Saturday: I met my sister-in-law, Sandy, for Vinyasa at 9:15. It was an amazingly challenging class. I stinking love Saturday morning yoga! It is a great way to start the weekend. Then, I came home and slept for like 4 hours. At 4, I went to the shelter to do my weekly dog-walking and fell in love with this little guy...
Sunday: I cleaned like I've never cleaned before! OK, not really. I cleaned the apartment really well, though! Then, around 2, my parents and brother and sister-in-law came over to celebrate my birthday a week and a day early. WOO! Can you guess why I cleaned?
We were going to go kayaking, but the wait was like an hour. After deciding against waiting, we bummed around by the river for a few minutes, and I spotted a baby soft shelled turtle! It was maybe 3 inches across... maybe. I totally scooped it up and held it. It was so cute! When it got back into the water, it threw sand on itself to hide. Camouflage fail.
We went to the Peony Garden to see all the glorious blooms, and we walked down to the river. People were getting their boats stuck in the "Heart of Jesus" left and right. Nobody tipped, though, darn. I saw a fellow dog-walker and her foster, Steve!
We headed over to the Jolly Pumpkin for food - then Stucchi's for ice cream. I received lovely gifts - a hand moisturizing kit and gift certificate for a pedicure from Mom and Dad (yay!) and an awesome yoga top from Pete and Sandy!
We finished off the night by watching part of "The Shadow" starring Alec Baldwin. It's a terrible movie. I highly recommend you watch it.
Monday: Nia in the morning with Sandy! It was an awesome class. Ana was in rare form! After Nia, I made a smoothie and put some pork in the slow cooker. Then, I crashed for like 4 hours - again. I woke up, finished making the pulled pork and cole slaw (thank you skinnytaste.com), and ate dinner with Lou. Then, we went to the garden to weed and finish putting in the veggies.
Tuesday: Today, I ran lots of errands - cashed checks, took pants in to be hemmed, picked up prescriptions, went shopping... OK, so shopping was unnecessary but very fulfilling :) I hung out at Bigby for a while and did some reading. Now, I'm just hanging out at home.
Dear weekend, why must you end?
