You know, I am all for big weekend plans, get-aways, day-trips and so on and so forth… but sometimes you just need a weekend to do nothing.
That’s exactly what I did – nothing. Ok, technically not nothing nothing. But you know, I didn’t have any commitments and no plans, which can be rather nice. Of course, I still had the usual errands to run and chores to do, but I like to be flexible and do it when I feel like it.
My weekend in no particular order:
- Sleeping in real late on Friday? Check.
- Grocery shopping? Check.
- Talking on the phone with my sister and my parents? Check.
- Spending a ridiculous amount of time on the Internet looking into books to trade? Check.
- Necessary apartment cleaning? Check.
- Finishing one book and starting another? Check.
- Spending some substantial time in the kitchen preparing maccaroni salad, baking blueberry muffins (from scratch) and making kick-ass sandwiches? Check.
- Going for a nice walk in the park and enjoying the early summer temperatures? Check.
- Getting a tiny bit jealous of the people who came out to BBQ, followed by a craving for some “belly of pork” that my parents usually get for our BBQs at home? Ahm, check.
- Watching (yes, still!) some more episodes of X-Files? Check.
Overall, this has just been the perfect weekend. I felt totally relaxed by Sunday night and was ready to go to work on Monday. I want more weekends like that!
How was yours?

However, my last weekend was a full, busy one – I undertook and passed a level 1 coaching course, which meant early mornings till late afternoons, assignments, creativity and meeting nice and interesting people. It was great and I am now a very proud level 1 coach ;)
What are kick-ass sandwiches??? And I so wish to have a tast of your blueberry muffins ;)

April 8, 2009 at 6:54 amI don’t think that sounds like laziness at all. That sounds like you got some constructive things done. Plus, you left your house. I sometimes sit home and watch t.v. and go on the computer and I do this all without even changing out of my pajamas. Haha. Sounds like a good time though!
