#MondayListicles is Living for the Weekends!

It’s been a while since I participated in Monday Listicles and this is a perfect one to jump back in with: What’s doing on the weekends.

Weekends are such a blur and I have been adding to the madness with

1. Scouts. The Bee doesn’t want to do Girl Scouts anymore and part of me is totally okay with that. Her heart is not into it, my heart is not really into it and it’s time for cookies…gah! I I really do not want to let her out of scouts while she is temporarily not feeling it. I would never want her to regret having stopped later in life. When this year is up we shall reexamine her feelings but as for now it’s off to do our (her) duty.

2. Housework. Sorta. All week long I rip and run telling myself that I will pickup the house on Saturday and well then there’s a book, a yarnthing, anything to keep my house a royal wreck. I will bust out the dishes (don’t want soldiers), pop in a load of clothes and work on something from the never ending to do list but honestly, it’s really all:

3. Books. I love curling on the couch to read one more page, chapter, book. I have been getting some fantastic books and have decided to make reading them part of my routine.

4. Playing with yarn. I am a part of two yarn groups which meet at two libraries (double win!) and they have been meeting on two Saturdays each month. I love meeting with them; crocheting and knitting can be so isolating. It’s good to meet up with people for motivation, help with stitches or patterns, and to swap supplies.

5. Hanging with the family. It will start out that my sister asks me to pick up Dill or I’ll ask her or my BIL to pick up The Bee and then we are just at each other’s houses starting a Mario Kart tourney, watching some old movie or just being. Sometimes it will be at my house, my sister’s house or over at mom’s. It always ends with food, too many sugary treats and lots of giggles.

6. Nights out with Effin Guy. We are kinda at that stage in the relationship where we are comfortable with each other but we do like to do things together and (gulp!) as a sorta family. Sometimes Effin Guy will come over pizza in hand to watch some movie, other nights we head out for a movie, show or some other family oriented activity. There are those rare nights when we do grown-up activities which may or may not involve alcohol (Eepers!)

7. The gym. I have started seeing my sister’s personal trainer, Angel,  and owie! In a quest not to be some old broken lady I’ve been making the gym a priority. It’s been a transition; I would rather chill on the couch with some chips or ice cream but I love not feeling out of breath like all the time, love that there is some definition in my legs and like the transformation that will be coming.

8. Napping. Yes. I am a fan of the afternoon snooze especially after being tortured by Angel. I curl up, set the alarm and snooze away. When I wake I feel refreshed and no share for my winks.

9. Marathon watch something, anything on the TV. I totes admit that I am binge TV watcher. Weekends makes for the best time to watch a series or catch up on some show. We don’t have cable but between Hulu Plus and Netflix I have done my fair share of television watching.

And lastly, and certainly least:

10. Working. I work Sundays at a college and some weeks it is a struggle to get going. I really can’t complain about the job but will. Kidding. It is the time out of the house that bugs me. Some weeks those Sunday shifts seem so freaking long!

Now, I know this is Staha’s thing but my web designer created a cute little icon for when I play along:

Looks just like me, no?
