May the new week bring you clarity...


peace...



and energy.

I spent the weekend home alone for the first time in years. I saw Midnight in Paris with mom and sis (thumbs down for me) rented movies (Biutiful- too sad/ King's Speech- thumbs up), read, ran, snuck in a little shopping and actually relaxed, a lot! It was wonderful but I miss my peeps. They are on their way home now so there will be life in my home again shortly. ☺

How was your weekend?



Cheers to our first week of no school, new routines, AND less stress getting out the door in the morning.

  6. Sounds like a nice, relaxing weekend but good to have your family back home. I have not seen The King's Speech yet. Maybe we'll do that this next weekend. Have a great week.

  13. Sounds like a
    heavenly weekend;
    thanks for the movie
    reviews. Since I
    loved the King's Speech,
    I'd have to think I'd
    agree with you about the
    Paris movie, which I was
    thinking of seeing. Last
    day of school today, for
    us; hooray!
