Work was busy last week as usual
and I hosted my last breakfast event until late September and it feels amazing to have that off my plate. I
know it’s an amazing group of people with networking opportunities and if I was
in mid-twenties I would be killing it, but at this stage of my life all I want
to do is go home at the end of the day and hang out with my family or
occasionally my friends. So my third (unpaid) job is over for the time being
and I am excited for the break.
Now I can focus on my
day job and get back in the groove with the wine sales… spring has sprung and
patios are opening and people are enjoying vino in the sun. Or even if it’s
raining. People need the happy juice no matter what the weather and I need to try
and get them to drink Ruby Blues.
But before that
happens I thoroughly enjoyed a four day long weekend (yes I had yesterday off
as well!) and actually accomplished a lot considering my plan going into it was
pajamas, Netflix and food on repeat.
Friday
My mom and I braved
Ikea. Coffee was needed. And it rained. Pretty sure I napped at some point.
More rain but it
stopped long enough for Milo and I to head down for a walk by the water. And
then I ran errands (note to self: do not grocery shop the day before Easter
Sunday. Total chaos). There was a couch nap here too.
Sunday - Happy Easter!
I woke up to a
chocolate hunt. My hubby hid a bunny rabbit in the fuse box and a box of
chocolate caramels by the hot water tank. These were actually good spots
because I would not have gotten them without clues.
He was also spoiled
but I raided the Target Canada sales over the last month so I got pretty good
deals.
I even made brunch for
us: Egg Baskets! I added hollandaise
sauce this time and it was amazing. I will never not include it again. You can
find the recipe here – just add hollandaise.
Then we took advantage
of the amazing weather and potted some flowers for our porch. Hubby also
trimmed our front tree – we planted a 3 foot tall shrub the first summer we
were together and it’s crazy to see how much it has grown in the past 6 years
(this will be the 7th summer!).
I probably should have
taken an after shot in addition to the ‘work in progress’ photo… baby steps.
I was sad when Monday rolled around but took advantage of having the house to myself.
It looked a lot like this and I finally caught up on my Netflix.
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend!

I vote we make all weekends long weekends. It just seems right.
