Rainy Weekend : Pretty is

Saturday and Sunday are typically filled with opportunity to DO WHATEVER I WANT! This past weekend had limited possibilities due to the rain. Nevertheless, LB and I made the most of our rainy weekend. Following our Friday night little pizzas, we watched a movie and stayed up too late. Because of the late night, we slept in Saturday morning.

The day began beautifully with the sun shining bright and hardly a cloud in the sky. After straightening the house and finishing the laundry, I went outside to work with my needy plants and pull the weeds out of my marigold flower bed. It needed work then and it still needs work.

Then the thunder began. It wasn’t long after that the rain started.

So I went inside and got on the treadmill.

The day seemed to fly by and become date night time before we knew it! There were three possibilities for the evening. 1. Jerry’s Sports Grille is a restaurant near the beach that we enjoy going to for a steak dinner. And if it isn’t football season, there will be a cover band playing. 2. The Cellar Upstairs is our favorite Saturday night place and one of our favorite bands “Ain’t too Proud” would be entertaining. 3. Ragtime Tavern Seafood & Grill is a beach side restaurant with live music. But it was rainy and we didn’t feel like going out.

Luckily LB had purchased a rack of lamb from Costco the week prior and was in the mood for some home cooking. This was a first for me but after I figured out what to do with it, we ended the day with a very nice dinner.

And then we watched Deadpool. No commentary… watch the trailer for yourself.

The sun didn’t tease us on Sunday morning. It was overcast outside and the rain would be coming soon. I made the usual Sunday morning Breakfast for a King which LB thoroughly enjoyed. Afterward I began assembling breakfast wraps and lunches for the upcoming work week.

This is my breakfast wrap assembly line. LB loves them!

After some treadmill time we decided to brave the weather and head to the store. Obviously if you can’t hang by the pool, or go to the beach, shopping is the only logical option.

And we picked up some nice shorts for LB
