Poor Matt! He was so sick this weekend that he took 3 2+ hour long naps both days. It was time well spent though - he was feeling better this morning when we left for work. His need for sleep meant lots of time for me to just get some things done.
Firstly - Friday afternoon we got word that Matt was promoted at Amazon. In his first week. I was so excited and proud of him that we opened a bottle of champagne that I got from work, and had huge steaming bowls of Vietnamese Pho soups. We were asleep by 9pm Friday night!
I of course cannot sleep in so I was up by 7 on Saturday. No long run for us - instead I just tackled chores and grocery shopping. It turns out that when I don't have Matt with me, I can go a little overboard with the coupons. I bought 10 boxes of cereal - because they were a dollar each! I missed him, and his accountability...
We did a Redbox movie and had soup and panini's for dinner. It hit the spot. ;)
Sunday Matt was showing signs of improvement, but still exhausted. So he took multiple naps while I did a ton of housework - which is a total blast for me! I also got sucked into more couponing thanks to Albertson's doublers in the Sunday paper...
I tried to go on a run alone but it is just not the same without my running partner!
I pre-made our meals for the week on Sunday afternoon and wrapped up loose ends and felt, as we crawled into bed Sunday night, that it had been a wonderfully productive weekend.
Now who is excited that next weekend is a three-day-er???!
Happy Monday all!

Glad you had a productive weekend. I hope Matt is feeling close to 100% now!
Sounds like a very productive weekend! And congrats to Matt for getting the promotion!
Hi, Ruhiyyih! We can never camp at St. Marys without thinking about YOU. We're heading up there Friday and spending four nights (reserved) at St. Marys' campground. We're going with another couple and expecting a third party to join us, too. We like the company when hiking back to Otokomi Lake, you know...Winter, Spring, Summer, and Maul!
...ouch, Bubbie Dear's comment reminds me of why I won't camp at St. Mary's. Those grizzlies would come after me for sure, even if I'am mostly bones, muscle and string. Speaking of dinner...your pho sounds great for Matt.
Kagan got sick today, too! It's too early for the crud to be catching up with people!
Sounds like a VERY productive weekend. You inspire me .... :) AND CONGRATS MATT! What an excellent blessing from the Lord after waiting so patiently for Him to provide a job!
I can't think of anything I love more than being productive.
