Weekend Top 10

If Monday could talk, it would borrow a line from Gwyneth Paltrow’s character, Emily, in A Perfect Murder, “That's not happiness to see me is it?” And I’d have to say, “No, not really.” Poor Monday, in your defense, you do live right beside the two or three best days of the week; it’s not really your fault.

My weekend was pretty low key but it still had its moments… 10 or so, if anyone's counting.

So, here we go... this weekend's Top 10!

10- When a “maybe it just needs Freon” turns into “Oh, that’s not good. You might need a new compressor”, it’s nice to have a fantastic superhero Dad and a mechanical wizard on speed dial. Thanks, Dad & Randy, for fixing Fordinand (and thanks Mom and Robert for helping run the sick car shuttle service!)

9- Is anything better than a tomato sandwich when the tomato comes right out of your garden and one slice covers the whole piece of bread? I think not.

8- The quickest way to make friends in the Wal-Mart checkout line is to share a few coupons with the person in line in front of you. And, if you’re doing in the name of coupons, cart stalking becomes a perfectly acceptable past time, right? J

7- Homemade blueberry cobbler… I’m starting to believe the rumor that a certain someone in my life is getting a little spoiled. Oh, well, it’s the least I can do. He is about to commit to putting up with me for the rest of forever.

6- I’m sure there is a limit on how many times in a row you can watch Shawshank Redemption before you get bored with it… but I don’t know what that number is.

5- When trying to decide “does this dress make my butt look big?”, do not use your reflection in the door of a big pick-up truck as your mirror.

4- When you make bets with a self-proclaimed nerd, keep in mind she knows random things like the names of a cow’s four stomach chambers. (Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum, and Abomasum just in case anyone was curious.) And, bet something that benefits you too- like lunch at Applebee’s!

3- Homemade lasagna… Did I mention that perhaps there’s a little spoiling going on?

2- Meeting with the minister to finalize the ceremony details means you’re one step closer to the official start of the Happily Ever After. I, for one, can’t wait!

1-   Sitting on the back porch laughing and watching hummingbirds is a happy, happy way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I hope your weekend had something as savory as homemade lasagna, something as sweet as blueberry cobbler, and something as lovely as someone to share it with. I hope your weekend was something lazy, something amazing, and… Something More.
