TGI EFFIN F!!!!

The work week is drawing to a close and I am SO looking forward to a productive and enjoyable weekend……at home!  While everyone else I know will be goin hard at BRISTOL BABY , I’m booking my time with spring cleaning, open fires, delicious refreshments and fresh seafood.  Last weekend was so jam packed with engagements that it was over before it even started, and every weekend after this one is booked solid until JUNE with charity events and special occasions, so I just want to really soak in the downtime in my happy home.  

So what’s on the agenda so far?  

First things first, a much needed mani/pedi in the morning.  These nails are so grown out and my feet haven’t been done since my wedding.  In October. They’re so gross I can’t even con my husband into rubbing them when we’re on the couch watching TV.  

Following the salon, I’ll have to make my weekly grocery run and I am SO excited.  Today Earth Fare has $5/lb Key West Shrimp so I’m gonna have to get in on that deal and buy some stuff tomorrow to go along with it.  I’m thinking shrimp kabobs on the grill are sounding pretty darn good right about now.

Then I am flinging open my garage door and cleaning the devil out of that thing.  It is a NIGHTMARE in there. I’m making 3 piles in the driveway– “Keep” “Charity” “Garbage” and hopefully the “Keep” pile will be the smallest.  Everything else must go!  I also need to get my usual weekend cleaning done–floors, laundry, dusting, etc. I may be weird for this, it’s not like I’m looking forward to cleaning per se, but I feel so much more relaxed when my house is clean and all my clutter is gone.  

After all the tasks are done, THEN the fun can really start.  Last Sunday I built this super easy, cheap and fun fire pit, using an old crappy $20 fire pit I already had and 45 flagstones that were $2 each at lowes and we haven’t even got to fire it up yet!!  Well this weekend is looking like the perfect time for campfire cocktails and s’mores!  And I came across the perfect blackberry tequila punch to compliment my dinner today on Facebook.

Hopefully my Sunday will be filled with brunch and relaxing with my husband before next week starts up.  I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend whatever your plans may be!
