Weekend Wrap Up!

 

Guys, I am EXHAUSTED.

I decorated my butt off... inside AND outside. It was a very busy three day weekend.

Here's what we were up to...

~ THURSDAY ~

When I woke up, I wasn't super excited it was Thri-day because I had a very busy day ahead of me. My work schedule was packed and after school I had piano lessons scheduled until six.

I went for a very slow, chilly, run and got over 10,000 steps in before I had my breakfast! Then off to work I went.

Damn, I look tired and this picture was only taken at 8:10am!!!

Around lunch time I realized I was so lethargic. I was cold and my throat felt a little warm. I figured I was probably getting sick. Freaking A. I do NOT want to be sick over my three day weekend. I want to run all the miles and be super productive!

I made it through the work day, and while I didn't start feeling any better, I didn't feel worse. That was a good sign.

A fourth grader gave me a rose petal! Very random, but sweet!

After work I took a quick shower, then taught three piano lessons in a row. Then it was time for wine, dinner, and SURVIVOR!

While I have been enjoying this season of Survivor, I get pissed off every episode because the woman I want to get voted out NEVER GETS VOTED OUT. But she got a bunch of votes this last episode so now she is at least on the radar of the other players and may continue to be targeted. One can only hope.

I went to bed early but didn't actually go to sleep. I watched Netflix on my phone. I'm in the process of binge watching the show 13 Reasons Why. This isn't a new show, so I'm a little late to the game. I know everyone has an opinion and I'm actually a little hesitant to state mine! I don't want to offend anyone or say the wrong thing because suicide is a very serious issue. I would like to write a post about the series but I'm afraid I won't say things the correct way or will miss an important point and come off as being completely ignorant!

When I woke up, I was pleased to see my baby boy was cuddling with me!

It was COLD and WINDY this morning. I thought about running for about 2 seconds, then figured, nah. Today could be a good gym day or a good DECORATE FOR CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!!!!!! (I'd get in a lot of steps doing that, right!?)

And that's what I did... almost all of the indoor decorating! It's quite a process. I have to put a lot of my "normal" decorations away to make room for the Christmas ones.

And then my house looks quite bare...

I'll do a post dedicated to my Christmas decorations, but for now, here is a sneak peak!

This all took a long time, but I was able to take a break to go for a run. It turned out not to be as cold as I thought it would be!

I was very tired from decorating, so Paul and I just relaxed that night. We played cards, ordered in breaded mushrooms and a buffalo sub, and watched a couple episodes of Colbert.

I went to bed early FULLY intending to watch as many episodes of 13 Reasons Why as possible. I ended up staying up until 3:30am and finishing the whole series! I WAS CAPTIVATED! Guys, it's very rare that I sit through a two hour movie in one sitting let alone six hours of a TV series. I have so much to say about this show. I think I will end up writing about it...

I was soooooo tired on Saturday morning but it was my own fault for staying up so late! I met my dad at nine to run 8 miles at Detweiler Park. I really enjoyed running there as it was beautiful and the trail wasn't too technical. There were some uphills I just had to walk but my dad powered up. My legs felt like they weighed 50lb! The last two miles felt great though. Too bad it took me so long to warm up!

Speaking of being warm... it was FREEZING this morning and I had to wear shorts because Paul forgot to wash my warm pants!

When I got home I laid in bed for a little as I was just exhausted. But I was so hungry that I had to get up and eat something. Eating gave me a second wind, so I ended up taking Paul to the gym and running a bunch of errands. 

I needed to rally! Diet Dew helped.

Back home, I finished decorating the inside of my house. All the greenery is now up. Christmas ate some and then puked it up. He cannot tell the difference between real pine needles and fake.

That evening, Josh and Suzy came over for game night. We stayed up so late playing games, laughing, and talking. Suzy is my SIL's sister and Josh is Suzy's husband. They recently moved to PA so now we have new friends!

I always make too much food for game night...

We tried a new game called Sketch It, which was hilarious. I went on Amazon to see if I could buy it, but apparently they don't make it anymore and the cheapest I could find it was $34!!!

I literally spend ALL DAY hanging up our outdoor lights! Paul helped me with the icicle ones that hang on the house and he also helped with an extension cord situation I ran into. But other than that, it was all me, and I worked from 10-5:15. By the time I was done, I was EXHAUSTED but happy. Happy that our house is in the Christmas spirit and happy to cross all the decorating off my to do list! Now I just have to buy Christmas presents and I am set!

What's the last show you binge watched?
Did you decorate inside OR outside yet? BOTH!?
