Sweet Sunday!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!  I certainly did...although it is quickly coming to a close as most good things must, at some point!!

The weekends are what the working folk live for!!  I find when people are not in the workforce for whatever reason, days of the week don't matter quite as much!  But when you do your Monday-Friday 9-5 (or some variation of such), those two days off in a row are the mecca!  Everyone has a personal fave, it is either Friday and the anticipation of the closing bell and the beginning of freedom.  Some enjoy the sweet release of Saturday, the day of complete freedom in regards to the weekend; a day where you are free to do what you want, when you want, for as late as you want (within legal confines of course!).  As for me, I am a Sunday kind of girl!

Now, let's make it clear, every second of the weekend past 5pm on Friday is fantastic!!  I just like the serene feeling of Sunday!!  It is often times a quiet day, get a Starbucks, maybe go out for a bit, a nice walk if the weather allows, lounge about, maybe a nap, some reading, a good meal and it is great as well because for me this day is usually spent with Pete!  He is not as much of a fan of Sunday as me but I quite relish in the day and it's simple pleasures!  I never work out on Sundays so it is truly a day of relaxation for me.  There are of course odd Sundays where this isn't the case but this is generally the way I get to spend that last day of a weekend before facing the work week ahead!

Today I had an especially lovely Sunday and also some evidence of will power paying off! :)  We got up late today because we had some friends over lastnight, which was lovely!  Today was going to be a Sunday to get stuff done, little things throughout the week that I had put off due to tiredness after the gym and not wanting to run errands.  My first stop was lululemon!  *groan* Yes, I know, whatever!  BUT last Sunday I had to go there to pick up hemmed pants for my mother and I fell in LOVE with a jacket, the Rejuvenate jacket.  It was quilted and soft and charcoal in color and perfect..but also $128!  :(  I however actually picked it up and stood in line with it but as I stood there a lot of thoughts ran through my head such as you have a wedding to pay for, you could put this money in your savings account, you could buy groceries for heaven's sake with this money...and  finally the guilt overwhelmed me and I put it back.  It was will power at it's finest b/c like I have mentioned in a past post, lulu brings on a luon haze where price has no meaning!!  Throughout this week, I came to hear that very jacket was ON SALE!  I went today and got it for $50 cheaper, yes probably still paid too much but in my mind, this was a meant to be purchase and well, it started my day out off great!

A picture to enjoy...again mine is dark grey! :)

I then wanted to buy a food scale!  Doing WW, a lot of points are calculated by the weight of food and well for almost 9 years I have been guessing, I felt it was time to make it a bit more precise!  While walking through the aisles I found a lovely little shelf which I instantly knew would help my bathroom clutter!!  So simple, such a silly little thing but I was psyched!  I came home and well, I even thought I would get to use a power drill but dammit, the angling was all wrong!  In the end, I had to use a screw driver and well, it was only four screws....so it isn't like I built something but it felt good to put it up and then declutter my counter!!!
I also fulfilled a few other errands I won't bore you with, had some Starbucks (my weekend WW treat) and some wonderful time with Pete...it has been a lovely day!

I think days are about finding those simple pleasures, the little things that make your life a good place.  It is very different for everyone and it really is according to what matters to you.  All in all, life is good.  I have the people I want in it and it is headed in the right direction...not everyday is perfect, far from it...but living a life I want truly is a blessing and a long time in coming!

On the WW front, things are good!  Lastnight I did have a few handful of chips and I have come to terms with it today!  It isn't going to affect my life on a grand scale and life goes on!
