Weekend Recap

Another busy weekend at our house... We had a neighborhood yard sale on Saturday, so we decided to put some things out. The weather was beautiful, so it was a very pleasant morning (even though I forgot to put on sunscreen so scored my first sunburn of the year) We didn't sell nearly as much as I had hoped, but we still made nearly $100. Not too bad! We used some of our proceeds toward dinner on Saturday evening - Chinese takeout on the back patio. And we avoided the Mother's Day crowds by eating leftovers for lunch on Sunday :) Our day was pretty low-key: church, then a quiet day at home. I even managed to grab a nap, which is truly the best gift for a mom with young kids!!

As for presents... My hubby and I are sort of weird about gifts for one another, as we really don't exchange them all that often. We do buy one another things, but it's very rarely a surprise. I'd been wanting some flowers for the back of the piano, so rather than a bouquet of fresh flowers that we'd only enjoy for a couple days, I found these flowers at Michael's last week. They're peach blossoms, and were half off to boot, so total cost (including the pitcher) was under $7. Whoopee! So, yes, I'm a crazy lady who bought my own Mother's Day gift, but it was exactly what I wanted, so we didn't waste money on anything, and I don't have to worry about exchanging it...

But hey, I do like real flowers, too - and our azaleas are absolutely gorgeous right now!

And on a side note, any other Survivor fans out there? I've always been fascinated by the group dynamics (probably part of that psych major coming out) and this season certainly didn't disappoint. I was really surprised by Boo's statments to Dreamz, along the lines of "I hope that someday you can be a mature Christian, and that the Devil dangling money in your face won't make a difference." Well put...
