It is amazing how still the world is at the wee early hour of 5 AM. This morning I woke early so I could get into work and make some headway on a few outstanding projects. It was so quite as I was getting ready, and even more quite when I was standing at the train station - the highway was quite, the sun just breaking. Nice way to start the week, a calm hopefully that won't break into a storm.
This weekend was a nice break too. Jason was out of town in Nashville for a conference, so I spent the majority of the time with my parents. My mom and scrapbooked, and I'm slowly getting caught up on photos from the past year. Saturday I got my haircut, did a little shopping (in the errand fashion) and stopped by a good friend's graduation party.
Gearing up for another graduation this weekend and hopefully some more R&R. Should be a quick week.

Warp Speed
This weekend felt fulfilling. I don't know if it was a combination of family time and time outside or what?
Friday started off with pizza at Old C's. Jason enjoyed their new flights of beer, while I on the other hand enjoyed eating the cherries out of my Shirley Temple.
Saturday I had been craving to get out and get my patio cleaned up with some new flowers planted. We headed to Wal-Mart, where I picked up a few flowers. Then we wanted to go to the Cherry Creek Farmers market, but the wind was blowing so hard and the rain was starting to spit we decided to just skip it and drive North. We stopped at Costco looking for flowers, and instead ended up leaving with 4 pounds of strawberries and two books. We then headed to Sears Grand and I LOVED their flowers. The had great flowers, strong flowers, flowers that looked like they had been on steroids for the past month. Got a couple more things there. Then headed to lunch at Famous Dave's and I just love their side salad and corn bread muffins - it was great. Then finally made a stop at Home Depot where I found a pretty hanging basket for mom and one for myself. Lastly stopped at DaveCo, the largest liquor store in the world to pick up a couple things with a gift card we had. In the afternoon I battled the hail to get my flower boxes planted.
Sunday was all about my Mom. I headed over there early, made some caprese salad for lunch and some strawberry angel food cake for a snack, did a little scrapbooking and then cooked a great dinner with her and my father. The evening was spent picking up my house and watching a little TV while doing laundry.
Tonight I must not forget to bring all my newly potted plants inside as tomorrow is supposed to bring snow and cold temps to the city. Snow in May? Really, can't it be summer already?

Finally Friday
Made it through a big presentation at work on social media and now just ready for the weekend.
Going snowboarding tomorrow as long as the weather decides to hold, and I can drag myself out of bed. Then hoping to get some home improvement projects started. I'm wanting to paint my bookcases white so that they both match and line the back panels with some pretty wallpaper/contact paper/wrapping paper (whatever is the cheapest and cutest).
Next week should be exciting, we have two new gals starting at work, and then next Saturday we are going to ten20 for the Spring Spa Party in honor of Christy's birthday.
I really need to get back to my scrapbooking - the photos are just starting to pile up.
