5 things I AM doing
Watch tons of stuff. We watched Sinners last night after we got home (so good, I highly recommend). Then we watched two episodes of I Love LA. Today I finished El Cuco de Cristal on Netflix (I’m so mad I didn’t know this was a Javier Castillo book! I loved the Miren Triggs (Snow Girl) trilogy. He just put out another book in October so I may listen to that.) Tonight we’ll probably keep watching Task. I’m really liking it but the husband is suspending judgement until the end, which he doubts will be satisfying. We shall see (he did not watch The Mare of Eastown, which I watched and really liked).
Eat left overs. Already did this for a late lunch today, and will surely do it again tomorrow!
Have dinner and drinks with the husband. We have a 5:30 reservation for dinner and then a later reservation for drinks at a spot we can never get into. I’m excited to go out!
Reconnect. We’re planning on walking to dinner tonight, so lots of talk time. We realized today that we started dating 20 years ago this coming January. That is crazy. I’m so glad we found each other and have stayed together. The early years of parenting were hard on our marriage, but it’s better now, as long as we put in the work. I’m really grateful we have this time together.
Sleep in, laze around. We already did this a lot today. It’s chilly in our house and we stayed in bed chatting for a long time. I was on the couch with a cat on my lap watching episodes of Cuco de Cristal for a while this morning (the hubs was playing video games). Besides getting brunch tomorrow we’ll probably do more of the same tomorrow. I love lounging around the house when there are no kids in it.
5 things I’m NOT doing
Laundry.
Cleaning.
Work.
Commenting on blogs. (It will have to wait until Sunday – the last day of NaBloPoMo.)
Dishes. (I’ll leave them for the husband.)
You focused on the right things today. Leftovers after Thanksgiving are everything (we had leftovers too!).
I love that you to sleep in and laze around, and also that you got to reconnect with your husband!
I’m looking outside at the snowstorm and jealous 1. of your plans, and 2. that you can walk to said plans.
Enjoying a break from doing all the chores sounds like a great way to spend the weekend. Staying cozy in bed – pure luxury. We don’t have a show that we’re watching right now. We will do a documentary now and then, but he goes to bed crazy early for his work schedule. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Oh, this sounds so fun! A ban on laundry, cleaning and dishes… and cooking, since you have leftovers! This is amazing- enjoy!
Hurrah for using the space for presents. and what a nice list of things you are NOT doing.
Those are great priorities!
