Sundays at Home

Sometimes the power of a weekend to restart your jets and right all wrongs is just astounding.

Last week was one for the books at work; nothing in particular, just one of those weeks. By the time Friday arrived, I felt like I'd fought a couple of battles...suffice it to say, the weekend was earned!

Anyway, I digress...because I'm sitting here now on this lovely Sunday evening reflecting on another terrific weekend. We crossed many errands off our lists, made a few new lists (because let's face it that is just the way it is) and enjoyed ourselves all around. A few highlights:

We finally framed and hung a series of photos we've been meaning to get to for quite some time. We are very pleased with the results.

I visited the photography school that is just mere blocks away. Browsed the gallery and picked up a brochure and class schedule. I'm researching the specifics now, but hopefully I'll be able to join their ranks come January...

We celebrated a milestone birthday with great friends. A casual, laid back affair with good wine, good people and great conversation. Hard to top that combination.

Continued date night action with a lovely dinner at a neighborhood Italian joint. Yum, yum!

Did some shopping and started to organize our thoughts and processes for Xmas gifts. Bought a few items to add to my Christmas decor collection and discussed pulling out the tree next Friday to kickstart the transformation of Casa Carretta to Santa's Wonderland (this thrills me NO END).

Congratulated (from afar) and sent good thoughts and many prayers to my dear friend Robin as she welcomed her gorgeous daughter into the world. Welcome Miss Emmy - we can't wait to meet you in person.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday at Home and recognized how very lucky we are indeed. Popcorn and a late afternoon movie snuggled on the couch with snow flurries falling. Reloading the ipod for a week of (at least) semi-regular workouts and typing this post surrounded by amazing smells coming from the kitchen as Hubby prepares dinner. Simple joys.

Cheers to a great week - hope your weekend recharged you!
