My long weekend has come to a close. With the holiday Monday and both Dean starting his four days off on Friday and Kaitlin home from school too, I took a half day off from work Friday afternoon and have spent the weekend hanging out with them. It has been great.
Friday afternoon, Dean and I looked at some more flooring and did some grocery shopping. We have decided on laminate for the front room. I pulled up all the carpet late last summer hoping the plywood sub floor would give us the little extra boost to go ahead and get it, but alas, here we are with still the sub floor for the first room anyone sees when they walk in the door. Last week we ordered a leather sofa, love seat and chair of the colour and style we have been eyeing for years. Now we HAVE to get the floor in. We picked the floor we want and it should be purchased and installed VERY soon.
Friday evening Dean went to play hockey, and Kaitlin had a friend sleep over and I got to watch two episodes back to back of What not to Wear. Saturday morning I went to the gym, Kaitlin and her friend went snowboarding. I spent a lovely afternoon puttering around and cleaning the house with Dean. We then had Brian, Kelly and their girls over for a hotdog and smokie BBQ and I drank a bottle of wine all to myself (no one else wanted any, they were all drinking beer) while we watched a movie and broke in our new 52" TV that we picked up with the front room set.
Sunday was sleep-in day. A relaxing coffee and brunch then I started the laundry. We watched a couple more movies and Cindy & Willy dropped by with a bottle of wine. I kept it to one glass this time.
Today, more sleep-in, more laundry, an girls afternoon checking out the local dollar store and other such establishments and a nice supper and another movie. I didn't make it back to the gym tonite like I hoped, but Dean and I went for a 40 minute walk and I did 30 minutes of stretches and some various sorts of abdominal crunch type things. I am really looking forward to starting the pilates thing. I am hoping the yoga part of pilates will help me with my emotional and hormonal issues. I wish we had some real yoga here.
All in all a great long relaxing weekend. I'm not even dreading the infamous double Monday that we always have on the first day back from a long weekend.

I'm glad to hear you had a good weekend! I called this afternoon but you were out, I meant to call back but T's been a handful all day and I was too tired.
It's still a big daydream of mine to open a yoga studio in CL, in the woods somewhere right on the lake with the whole wall of windows overlooking the water.. of course I'll have to make my millions before that could happen. Of course there would be free classes for family members.
Maybe by then I could be teaching classes
