I've been feeling very much a homebody lately. I've always enjoyed relaxing time at home, but it comes in phases (wholly depends on how much traveling I've done). For the last year, we've traveled quite a bit; Boston for a wedding, holidays at parent's houses, trip to Cuba, preparations for our wedding in Rapid City (takes the cake for busiest time of year), honeymoon in OR, & Steve's cousin's wedding in Sioux Falls...and various other short trips thrown in there. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE traveling, but it can take a toll.
I've been stubborn about being home on the weekends recently. Not necessarily everyday, all day - going out for a drink with friends is fairly common on the weekends - but I love getting off work on Friday & knowing I have a weekend filled with sleeping in, running, naps, working in the yard, baking, cooking, eating, drinking...
This weekend was one of those weekends. :) Saturday was rainy & cold, but I can't say I got much done. Sunday was a different story. Baked two loaves of pumpkin bread, cooked a batch of tomato sauce, prepared ingredients for French bread to begin rising on Monday morning, re-potted several indoor plants, & cleaned the chicken coop to prepare it for winter. Success! It helps the weather was fabulous on Sunday...sadly, probably one of our few nice days left for the year.
I completely know what you mean. Between our recent trips we are in desperate need of a 'stay at home' weekend ...hhahaha, together and with an already-clean house preferably! Congrats on getting so much accomplished and also finding time to rest!
