(Titled edited because my perfect weekend in January would take place somewhere warm, like California or Key West. But this is the local edition.)
Definition of a perfect weekend:
Going to bed before 11 every night.
Moscow Mules with Brian reviewing Justified, Season 3 (although someone might have woken up with a Sunday morning hangover...)
Introducing my best friend to our fabulous indoor winter farmers market and seeing all the friends I used to work with. Scored the most delicious maple sausage, string cheese, spinach, spaghetti squash and red cabbage.
Buying a new laptop for me! Mine has been dead for a couple years and I've been making do on a cobbled together ghetto desktop made from pieces laying around my ex-boyfriend's house. It served a purpose and now it's done.
Embarking on the composting project!! This will have its own post soon, but Brian and I ordered a stainless steel counter top pail and bought a 30 gallon plastic storage tub ($8 at Target!), which will be turned into our outdoor compost bin. Frankly if I had to choose between this and the laptop, I'd pick the composting hands down.
Hanging out with my parents over lunch for a couple hours, watching bad HTGV.
Seeing the huge Wise Men heads at church for Epiphany Sunday and a beautiful sermon about embracing in the light, and not the darkness, in our lives. Perfect for this time of year, when light feels like a privilege and not a right.
A Sunday afternoon entirely at home, planning my garden, doing laundry, pulling yet more clothing out of my dresser that I don't need, organizing my sweater drawers, setting up said new computer, taking down the Christmas decorations, putting up artwork gained over Christmas, cooking major projects for the coming week, watching the Carolina basketball game (even if we did lose) and reading.
Overall a restful, relaxing, productive weekend. I couldn't ask for better.
