Long Weekends

Having a long weekend was SOOO nice and very much needed! I am lucky enough to work for a place that gave us both Friday AND Monday off so I got 4 days off in a row! It has been awhile since I have had a day off work so it was nice!

On Friday, I decided to head up to Birmingham to go to the outlet mall there for some new workout clothes...It was a long drive but I had nothing else to do while everyone else was working! So, after the gym and tanning, I grabbed Mia and we headed for a mini road trip. The weather was HORRIBLE! Pouring down rain the whole time...pretty much stayed that way until about yesterday around 5 too! After the shopping trip I went downtown to meet up with Cody and some friends for dinner and a concert at the Moore Theatre. I have never been in there before and it was absolutely gorgeous! It is a great place to have a concert! We saw the John Butler Trio..and they put on a good show!

Because Saturday was gloomy weather as well, Cody and I decided to do a little reorganizing of the closets after the gym. We ended up bagging up 5 bags of clothes to take to a consignment shop and to good will!! We got rid of so much junk!!! I didn't even think we had that much stuff but MAN..it felt good! I love the feeling of being totally organized! That night we went to church and it was very much needed for me! I felt like the pastor was speaking directly to me! It was a great message and I am so happy we decided to not be lazy and skip!! We rented a few movies that night as well...honestly, I can't remember the names of the 2 action packed ones Cody got but I got Dear John and still need to watch it!

Sunday was a day for shopping around...we went to the mall and shopped BUT managed to not buy a single thing! We were looking for stuff for Cody so I wasn't really in the mood to look for me (weird I know). It was nice just getting out of the house and roaming around though!

And finally, Monday...went to the gym at 9am because that is the only time they had a class that day. Then, the whole day was spent doing ABSOLUTELY nothing...Cody played his xbox which he hasn't done in forever and I read my kindle...ALL DAY! I am almost done with a book I started forever ago but stopped reading so I decided to start from the beginning. I am about 20 pages to the end and can't wait to read another one! I have a list of books I want to read..I am also in the middle of "Love the one Your With" and really want to read "Roses" and "The art of running in the rain"...hopefully this week I can get to those ones!

Well, it was a pretty boring weekend but I think I needed it. Having a low key weekend was the medicine I needed and today I feel totally refreshed and ready to work!

One more thing before I end...Last week was my Grandma Idler's birthday so I want to wish her a Happy Birthday..she was lucky enough to spend it in Vegas!

And, today is my Grandma Wirtzberger's birthday so Happy Birthday to you too!

Love you both!!

Happy June Everyone!!
