Weekend Things

LaurenLeave a comment

Coming at you a day (and a half) later than usual because my September Memory-a-Day post seemed more time-sensitive, but please do not think it means my weekend wasn’t exciting because it WAS!

Friday Rockies game!  We won!  There were four home runs!  It was COLD!

Saturday, we met this cutie and his parents at Acova for brunch.  Mason kicked his shoes off within 5 minutes of being in the restaurant and it really made me wish I was a baby 🙂  Despite how chilly it was on Friday, Saturday’s weather was perfect so after we finished eating, we took Mason outside to play and he did a little dance for us that I can’t stop thinking/smiling about ♥

Spent the afternoon at Becca’s 30th birthday party!  And did everyone watch the SNL Season Opener?  Look, I watched all 8 hours of that Kavanaugh hearing and Matt Damon KILLED it.

Got up Sunday to go on a run then busted out some chores before heading to another Rockies game.  It was way hotter than I anticipated but melt-y mess aside, this game was so so exciting!!!  Back at home, we finished lunch salads, walked the pup and made Black Bean Plantain Enchiladas for dinner.  They were really really good!

Meanwhile, today I am a ball of nerves because the Rockies are down to their one last chance and I still have PTSD from last year’s Wild Card game.  Pray for us!

I made Izy’s Falafel Smash and loved every fluffy pita bite.

I reflected on how the summer has been so far.  In a word, GREAT!  I’ll be the first to admit I like to do ALL THE THINGS and can sometimes take on more than I can handle and worse, not realize it until I’m in the thick of things.  I vividly remember feeling so so burnt out by early July last year and here we are at the end of July and I feel energized and happy and fulfilled.  At least much more so than I have in summers past.  I mean, I’m probably still doing LOTS OF THE THINGS, just not ALL.  This is a win!

In other news, today is my dear sweet mother’s birthday and we are eating hot dogs at Biker Jim’s then going to the Rockies game.  I cannot wait!
