Weekend Shenannies

Another weekend come and gone. Is it just me, or do weekends fly by even faster in the summer? I'm pretty sure they do.

I was supposed to have Friday off, but we ended up getting some last minutes patients admitted and my boss asked if I was willing to come in to do their evals...which I obliged, mostly for the brownie points. It was really no big deal since I love my job though.  It was a pretty rainy Friday afternoon/evening, so Mark and I hunkered down and watched a movie.  We watched What To Expect When You're Expecting, which I really enjoyed.  I thought it was really cute, especially the whole adoption storyline with J Lo.

Saturday morning, we woke up to a glorious thunderstorm.  Don't you love listening to the rain and thunder while you're in bed?  I did have to get up and brave the rain though, because I had a very important date!  I met up with the wonderful Madison from Espresso and Cream to talk about my yoga teacher training, which I am really hoping she decides to do. (Hi Madison!)

Once the rain cleared up, Mark and I drove out the the MN Landscape Arboretum, which happens to be one of my favorite places in the Twin Cities.  We went for a hike along one of the many trails the runs though the 1,100 acres of pristine land filled with interesting trees and gardens.  Of course, I stopped for a little yoga.


After our hike, we bought a bunch of flowers for planting!  We planted marigolds in our 5 window boxes, and still have some left to put into the ground.  We decided to make use of our fire pit Saturday night, it turned out to be a great evening for a bonfire!


(Look Orlando got to come outside with us!)

I had to get up early on Sunday to take an "absolute beginner" yoga class for part of my teacher training.  It was a cool experience and very exciting to see a room full of brand new yogis.  I did a little shopping in the afternoon before taking Shay for a walk.  We were about a mile away when the rain started...we both got drenched but he handled it really well.  We had a birthday dinner for Mark that night with my parents at their country club- delicious as always.  Mark and I ended the weekend catching up on some TV on the couch with Orlando and Shay.  Best way to spend Sunday night!  Hope everyone else had a good weekend too!

  4. Thanks for meeting up! I'm pretty sure the only thing that could have gotten me up and out of the house on that rainy Saturday was a coffee date. And you totally did a great sell on the yoga teacher training. :)
