This weekend I was more relaxed than I’ve been a long time. We had absolutely no plans to guide us and it was glorious. While I enjoy being busy and appreciate having the ability to travel, I crave being home, sleeping in, and not having to go-go-GO.
This weekend, I went to Mass for the first time in God only knows how long (pun intended.) I needed it.
This weekend I got serious about my New Year’s goals. I’ve intentionally kept these off the blog (for now), as I’m not ready to share the backstory just yet, but what I will tell you is that I want 2013 to be a year of refocus.
From what I’ve read so far, I’ve fallen in love with the concept of 7, as well as the author, Jen Hatmaker. Seriously – I want to be friends with this woman.
This weekend I laughed out loud, a lot. For one, I could not get over how much Cory’s Pink Lemonade flavored Sweet Frog resembled the pink shit that chicken nuggets are made out of. Gross.
My brother works for Apple and if you can recall, Cory is an Apple junkie; so when I saw this in an office this weekend, I giggled out loud.
Lastly, this weekend culminated in me getting real serious about planning ahead. I prepped and packed Monday’s lunch.
I went ahead and picked out Monday’s work outfit.
I even made the decision ahead of time to SKIP the gym on Monday morning in exchange for extra sleep.
Has this something to do with my New Year of refocusing?
Ummm – notsomuch.
DOWNTON ABBEY!!! Oh sweet Lord, I can hardly contain my excitement. I re-watched episodes on Amazon Prime and I watched interviews of cast members on YouTube, all because I’m crazy in preparation for the Season 3 premier.
The only down(ton) fall is that I’ll have to stay up until 11:00. Um, it’s a work night, PBS Masterpiece.
Let’s chat – Who else is obsessed with Downton Abbey?! If you’re a reader in Europe, please no spoilers! 
I’ve never watched Downtown Abbey but heard about it…..might have to check it out to see what the hype is all about.
It’s SO GOOD!!! I highly recommend it. In case you couldn’t tell
I LOVE Downtown. I am so so so excited. I am in central time so at least its done at 10 but I normally try to be IN bed by 9:30 on Sundays. I have zero doubt it is worth it!
YESSSSSSS i’M SO EXCITED!!!! Seriously, cannot contain my excitement. only 48 more minutes! I better get myself prepped and ready for this!
I have never watched Dowton Abbey so I recorded it for tonight
I love that you just let your hair down, and had a great weekend!! =)
I’ve made the decision to get extra sleep versus a workout a few times last week – and for the first time in months both of my parents said I looked ‘really healthy’. #Priorities
Downton Abbey is amazing. I adore it! I need to get on with series 3 sooooon. But yeah I’d be with you on the 9-11pm. I’d have to have recorded it as I’m such a granny.
I’ve never seen this show. I might need to check it out, I had friends having tea and crumpets for it?! I’ll stick to my Sunday night love The Walking Dead.
I’ve never watched it.. my sister in law and mother in law are really into it.. I might have to watch..
I’ve never watched it, but I’ve heard good things about it. Some of my co-workers were trying to get me to watch it last year, but I haven’t gotten into it yet!
Laughing hard is a great way to refocus and that ice cream seriously looks hilarious!!
I love Downton – I’ve seen the whole third season and my only complaint is that its only 8 episodes long.
You crack me up, the picture of the Apple computer is too funny!
I will say I have never watched the show, but have heard rave reviews!
Can’t wait to hear more about your 2013 plans! And this books sounds like it’s right up my alley. Going to add it to my list!
I got halfway through last nights episode and couldn’t stay awake!! Thank goodness it’s patiently waiting on my DVR as I sit in the office right now…counting down the hours till I can finish it!!
Can’t wait to watch Downton Abbey!! I recorded it because I couldn’t stay up.
You are so grown up I almost can’t get over it. Seriously. So responsible.
