Monday... again?

This weekend was a nice mix of doing & relaxing. I feel like my weekends are usually one or the other - running around like crazy, or eating & napping all day every day. And that second one is not an exaggeration. We literally have our "lazy days" where all we do is eat and nap... and I don't hate 'em. 

Horses

This pony's name is Fudge. Hot Fudge. Ridiculously cute.

More farm sitting this weekend. This time for some horses at my friend's house, and then some at her parent's house. Thinking about turning this whole farm sitting thing into a more serious part time deal. It's a fun, easy way to make some extra $$ and get outside. Plus, Winnie loves the farm life and sleeps for days when we get back. Win/win.

Music

Saw The Lumineers at Koka Booth. This was actually Thursday night, but if you round up that's basically part of the weekend. Great show, great music, perfect night. That is also quite possibly the least flattering picture ever, but for some reason I love it. I had a big problem with closing my eyes in every pic so someone told me not to look directly at the flash. I took that to mean look in the complete opposite direction. Ah, well.

Face Time

Cutest nephew ever. 

My nephew moved to Portland in January which was pretty much the saddest thing ever, but FaceTime makes it so much better! There's little/no conversation that ever occurs, I pretty much just laugh at all his ridiculous antics and take screen shot of his insanely adorable smiles. This time I got to hear him say my name for the first time and then he blew me kisses. My heart completely melted. I was never really a baby person before, but this kid has me completely in love. I mean, it's a bit ridiculous. I talk about my dogs a lot, but I could probably talk about my nephew forever. And show a million ridiculous pictures. So excited for our big trip out west this fall and quality time with this nugget for his 2nd birthday!

Not Pictured:

-Silver Linings Playbook - finally saw it. Fell in love with Bradley Cooper... again.

-A couple epic naps

-Lunch at Cafe Caturra that included one of the best BLT's I've ever had. And I've had a lot!

-We tried these cookies from Pillsbury - meh. James liked them. I thought they tasted a little like golden grahams for some reason. I don't know, something in the flavor I didn't like. However, most refrigerated cookies make my stomach hurt like crazy (which makes me sad because I could eat them by the dozen) and these didn't. So, there's that. 

For something new and different, I'm linking up here and here.

PS - Recipe coming tomorrow filled with cinnamon, sugar & butter. What could be better?!? ;)

High Five for Friday!

This week has mostly just consisted of long days at work so it hasn't been the most exciting, but here are some of my top 5 moments. They aren't too exciting, but I guess there are weeks like that every now and then. Once again I'm linking up with Lauren this week.

1. Stopped by to take care of a friend's horses one morning. This is Taylor. He was hungry.

2. James & Winnie came out to "help" me. Clearly they were working very hard. Such good helpers.

3. Speaking of Winnie, she got her summer hair cut! We shave her every summer and it makes her look SO different. Her long hair just gets too hot, she's much more comfortable shaved. And I think it makes her look like a puppy all over again. Plus, she's much easier to keep clean! :)

4. We had a family dinner at my parents house while my nieces were in town. These are 2 of my mom's dogs. They are the definition of mutts. Pretty darn adorable mutts. The one in the front has legs that never stopped growing. The one in the back has legs that never grew.

5. Little dog rode in my new car for the first time. I put her in the way back. She's used to riding shotgun so she wasn't pleased with her demotion. Surprisingly she stayed back there the whole time.

So that was the highlights of my long week. One more work day left before the weekend! Hopefully its a 3-day weekend (or longer) for most of you! I'm farm sitting this weekend and working Memorial Day, but the weather should be beautiful so I'm definitely looking forward to that!

How was your week?

Speaking of Memorial Day weekend, if you love to shop there's TONS of sales going on this weekend. I posted about some of my favorite stores in this post last night. I'll be busy all weekend and probably won't get to hit the stores so get out there & do some shopping damage for me ;)
