Here’s a wonderful recap of the good ‘ol weekend. You know,
that thing when Friday comes around and you get to relax and go to bed early
(okay okay, most people don’t do that but the hubs and I loooove an early bed
time) and sleep in and have some leisure time? Wait, that wasn’t how my weekend
started at all. But suffice it to say, it was actually really great.
We, meaning the masterful chandler and owner of Mr. B’s
Luminaries (aka my darling husband), and I had the opportunity to participate
in the Common Goods Urban Market put on by Warby Parker and Invisible
Children.
That being said, all of Friday was spent trying to get
everything together while Shem was at work. I started off with errands in the
morning, feeling proud for being out early with the little man in tow. I went
to kinkos to get something printed but found out I didn’t have it in the right
format. I was really bummed because I had to maximize my day and going home and
coming back sounded like a poor option. So, I decided I would make Shem do it
after work. Fast forward a few hours. I decided to make another go of kinkos
because it would be really great to get it done. Well, ha ha ha jokes on me. I
get there and although I thought I saved it in the right format, this time the
new file was nowhere to be found. I left feeling embarrassed, discouraged, and
my emotional pregnant self even shed a few tears. It was way tougher on me that is sounds like it should have
been. So I had a stop at Wal-Mart to make and decided to drown my sorrows in
the wonderful chocolate-y goodness on a stick;
Well, I regrouped and started working on something else. The
husband came home, surprise latte
in hand (swoon) and then offered to go to kinkos (I couldn’t face a failure a
third time) and returned successful and with surprise dinner in hand. Did I
mention I love him?
The rest of the night was spent working away while the boys
watched Beauty and the Beast. I am pretty sure Abe wasn’t as into is as his dad
was…
Come 2am I called it quits and we work up bright and early
the next day. The show was so great and there were so many other talented
artists there that we were able to connect with. AND Invisible Children and
Warby Parker each sent us home with goodies!
Oh, and Saturday we ended the evening with watching the movie
Groundhog Day (a family tradition) with some dear friends. If you don’t like
every movie line quoted to you 10 seconds before and after it happens then it
was a good things you weren’t there.
Sunday was filled with much needed r & r. and we closed
out the night with a little Downton Abbey and homemade banana-chocolate-pb
shakes. The best thing ever, especially if you know the secret ingredients…
Hope your weekend was a good one!
