Leap gleefully into your weekend....!

Al Khalil Glass factory, Jordan

 

 I hope you all have a gleeful weekend bursting with family & sunshine & joy!

 

This weekend will be one to try on new summer shoes. {Birkenstocks, for comfort and toe breathability.}  I'll run at least five kilometers.  {Over two days, so two point five and two point five.} I'll lift weights.  I'll eat tubs of delicious yogurt.  I'll see my nephew return home from the East coast where he is feeding his brain at university.  {A party will ensue.}  I'll send my fiance off to the East coast and beg him to return with packets of my favourite fish-Arctic Char.  I'll play basketball with my kids and their current favouite games of Memory Match and Mastermind.  {Puzzles, so the brain gets exercised too.}  I'll send prayers out to the sweetest little girl who spent time in the emergency room two nights ago due to an unfortunate accident (no, not one of my girls. And I ask that you keep your fingers crossed for her that all heals well.) I also hope to spend time outside...after work finishes today of course. :)

 

What are YOU doing? May I suggest:

• running two kilometers
• getting a new haircut
• go for a nature walk and collect three treasures to bring home
• play with your dog(s)
• rent a foreign film to watch tonight
• drink one delicious glass of red wine while you watch it-sipping slowly to savour the bouquet
• try something arty.  paint.  photograph something.  write a short story for yourself.

Sounds like a terrific weekend! Have fun:)
I plan on ditching this cold I have been fighting:)

I have had mostly terrific weekends, but alas, this one isn't one of them. There have been issues this morning needing to be dealt with and will probably spill over till tomorrow, Sunday (over here).

I will do my best to salvage the remaining moments and perhaps take up some of your suggestions-like that walk and art. I will try to reign in my emotions, ignore my teenage son (who really needs to do some apologizing first) and play with my poochie doodle poodle. :D

Have a great weekend! I love how bright this bloggy is!

Your weekend sounds full and wonder-full, Gillian. Mine will be quieter. Husband's away in the midwest, so it's me and the cats and lots of rain outside. Think I'll take a walk in said rain, but other than that it's work on finishing writing my book (almost there), cook, and maybe watch a Netflix movie tonight. I like days like this! Happy weekend, beautiful. xo

You are one well-rounded Chica! I love your plans for the weekend!

Me...I have a hockey game to attend and then more of the 3-day festival where there is music, dancing, rides, red wine, buttered corn on the cob (with a dash of Tabasco), elephant ears, art and jewelry, neighborhood friends...you name it, all within walking distance from my home. (I can hear the drums from the band playing in the gazebo at THIS VERY MOMENT!)

Beautiful photo, btw. I'm falling inlove with everything blue lately.

Staying in until it warms up, making bread, doing laundry, and catching up with blog posts.
Run a couple of kliks for me will you please.

big hugs

Riding my own horse both days, and searching for a new doggie are on my agenda. Are you coming to SF soon??

[Steph]

Sounds wonderful, Gill. I might take you up on one of your suggestions. Have I mentioned that blue glass is one of my favorite things..? Enjoy!

Well, if San Fran will have me, then I shall nag my man until I get my way. Godspeed to me and keep your fingers crossed...I'd love to see you girls!! xo

Bike over to Cape Coral and give Joe a hug for me. Have lunch. A rumrunner to chase it down with. Then go shelling on Sanibel for the day. xo

Beautiful blue glass. I hope your running around was good. I spent time at the beach, so beautiful.

I like Memory Match. It's still a good challenge for my brain. ;)

I hope you had a great weekend - plans sound lovely. The dog was played with, and I spent time at the beach - which was actually warm. Amazing for April.
