Very Fun, Slightly Crazy Saturday

A typical Saturday in our home means sleeping in, brunches, and whatever else we decide. Sometimes we run errands, sometimes we visit our families, and sometimes we simply stay at home. According to the weatherman, it is supposed to be a lovely rainy weekend. (Yes, I like the occasional wet weekend.) Seeing as I've not seen a drop of rain yet, I have a feeling it is holding out until we are fast asleep tonight.

This Saturday has been a little different than most. My husband wanted to take his truck in to be looked at this week, and Saturday sounded good to us. Thinking that we could drop it off with their "Before Hours" policy, we were willing to get up early in the hopes of dealing with little to no traffic and pick it up by noon. All I can say is- haha!

 

Look at that sweet smile! You would never think he could be too peppy a morning person, but let me tell you....

We decided to wake up by 5:30. My husband (being a regular Flash when it comes to the morning routine) got up first. Then he came to pester me until I finally got out of bed. We had thought promising ourselves a trip to the donut shop would be a good incentive for such an early trip...but I can honestly say that I hardly cared about that this morning as I was being shaken awake. Having been woken up just enough to think, I decided to skip the makeup routine so we could hurry and get back. I mean, I put on mascara and the one lip gloss I own that actually darkens my lips, but that was it for the morning.

Husband took the picture- and insisted on my pose. He loves when I wear my glasses, too.

I guess we had both considered donuts not being enough this morning because we had also decided that after breakfast we would try to catch a nap. We dropped off my husband's truck right on time, and were happy to see only one other car in the parking lot. We hurried to the donut shop, where my husband went in to explore the selection.


Donut holes for me & a blueberry donut with an old-fashioned donut for Husband!

It was nice to come back home with treats in hand. It took little to convince my husband we should have a breakfast picnic in bed.

After breakfast, we laid back down and hoped to fall back to sleep. The feeling of laying against my husband's chest, with his arm wrapped around my shoulder, is a feeling I can not imagine ever becoming tired of.
We woke up at 10:30 with the phone ringing. It turns out that they had JUST decided to look at his truck. Long story short, his truck will be in the shop until Monday. This is one of those times when we could either be extremely irritated with their timing...or we could be grateful that we are married, have a car, and our life is not put on hold at all by this. (Okay, so I'm still a little irritated with their customer service.)
Either way, our Saturday has still been a good one. We got up and called in lunch. My husband's uncle receives free pizza cards from a friend of his sometimes, and, rather than keeping them all to himself, he shares them with the rest of the family. (Thank you, Uncle Dennis!) We were able to enjoy hot pizza for lunch today, and it's looking as though tomorrow will be a bright lunch with leftovers.
We came home to eat and watch a little tv. We always watch western tv series on the weekends, but our favorites weren't on yet. If you've never seen "Wanted- Dead or Alive" or "Bonanza" or "Big Valley" you are missing out. Oh, and our favorite is "The Rifleman"!

Like I said though, none of them were on. I picked up the computer to look at our soon-to-be house and soon my husband mentioned the first house he'd lived in. He pulled up directions only to find it is all of 2 blocks from our future home. Well, of course, we just had to go out to see, and while we were out, we had to time the drive to and from his work. It just didn't make sense to skip Happy Hour at Sonic at this point, and after the first sip of strawberry slushie we just had to go for a ride. :)

Needless to say, it has been a very fun, very relaxing, slightly crazy Saturday. I've even had time to post before supper. I hope all of you are enjoying your weekends as well!

*Oh, and before I forget, this is the new artwork for our living room. The canvas was on sale at Hobby Lobby. I coated with color acrylic & then dry brushed with antiquing-medium & copper acrylics. The letters were precut. I stained them with antiquing-medium as well, and then used tacky glue to center them on the canvas. We figure I can add to this as our family grows, too! In the meantime, my husband loved seeing our initials together!
