Say it to Me Now

Hope everyone had a great weekend! : )

I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 day weekend although I didn’t get nearly as much done as I wanted to. It seems like the more free time I actually have the more I just get lazy :s ha. I think I work better the busier I am!

Saturday: I started the morning by going to my MIL’s to take care of her kitty while she was out of town. Then I stopped by Kohls, Pet Smart, and went to work for a few hours. That evening Erik and I ordered Carside to go from Applebee's (we had a gift card). I ordered the Chicken and Portobello Sandwich.

Italian Chicken and Portabello Sand [Picture from their website … I forgot to take a picture]

I ate it sans marinara sauce with plain, steamed broccoli. For free … it wasn’t bad.

And then just for the heck of it … I painted a teapot, ha. It was rather random because I never paint or draw anything. Erik’s been quite the painter lately and he told me I should paint something so I did ; ) It was something fun to do while I was relaxing and watching a movie.

Tomorrow night (Monday) we’re going to a Swell Season concert … woo hoo!! So I don’t be “around” in the blog world all day.

I’ll leave you with one of my favorite Glen Hansard songs thus far …

Does anyone have all their Christmas shopping done yet? (I haven’t even started! :s)

    Great painting!! It looks really fantastic. I should do something like that sometimes, just for fun.

    Your Applebee's picture looks sooooo tasty! I was like. Wow, that's a great photo!!" haha, from the website, you shouldn't have told us! I'm kidding, I think that's illegal, good for you for citing it ;)

    I have about 50% of my Christmas shopping done, which is good for me!

    I'm impressed by your painting skills. I have no hand-eye coordination, so most artsy things are out of the question.

    Ugh, Christmas shopping. Unfortunately, exams start soon. I'm going to try to do most of it online.

    Your teapot is so cute! I'm horrible at painting (as Mica said above). I just don't have an eye for it.

    I have a few small things for Christmas, but ahhh I have so much left to do! I'm trying to make a lot of my gifts or buy them from etsy.com this year. :-)

    I had no idea you were a painter. I love the teapot! Do you have or have you thought of starting an Etsy store? People would love that for kitchens. Or you could give on away on your blog - hint, hint. ;)

    I'm one who actually enjoys shopping bc I have the freedom to go during the daytime so I tend to spread mine out throughout the season. Quite a bit to do yet.

    I work better when I am busier too. Isn't that funny? Your sandwich looks great. I love your painting.

    I am the same way--in order to be productive, I need to be pretty busy, otherwise, I just lounge around! haha

    Adorable painting! I'd love to do more artistic things, it seems like it would be very therapeutic :)
