Weekend.

With weather in the high 90s all last week it was any wonder that I didn’t melt. As I’ve gotten older, warmer temperature is not my arch enemy but even I think that upper 90s is too much. I love 70 degree weather but I now know that, that is too cold for a day at the beach. I never thought that I would ever think that.

Anyway, not sure why I began this post like that since I just wanted to recap my weekend.

Friday evening, we intended to go mini-golfing with Colleen and her husband but since it was SO hot we decided against it. I think the real reason is because we knew that we would be sweaty messes once we went out for dinner. So Colleen did some research Friday afternoon to see if there was anything fun we could do before going out to dinner. She did not find anything so we just went out to dinner and did something that I hardly ever do in the summer when we go out. We ate inside.

We had lots to talk about and it was nice to have Colleen tell me that everything was going to be fine. It’s nice having a friend like her and knowing that I have our friendship to rely on at any time. Our eyes may have watered a few times (and our husbands may have laughed at us) but we had a great time like we always do when we’re together. She also gave me the best gift. A camera strap with my initials. She knows me so well.

Goodness, we're ridiculously happy together.

On Saturday, we had another hot one. I tell you. It took everything in me not to spend all day inside the house with the AC watching movies. Oh wait. That’s exactly what I did.

Sunday, I decided that the weather was a little more people friendly so I went to the mall to do a little shopping. I also updated my resume which was interesting considering that I haven’t searched for employment in 6 years! I’m hoping to have a job within the first week in PA. Even if it means doing something for a short amount of time just to keep me busy until I find something I love. I can’t imagine not having a job to go to every day.

I’m also hoping that it isn’t too hard to top my current position. I love what I do now. I worked hard to get where I’m at in the company. The benefits, salary and position are/were things I was happy and proud of. So I know that I’m going to have to keep an open mind in my search as well but I also have to remind myself of my worth and not just settle either.

A few of you asked some questions on my last post about when we’re leaving, where we'll be living, etc. Sean first day is August 12th. My last day at my job is Sept 13th. I’ll be getting things settled and will join Sean in PA in September. I think it’s more than enough time to get my mind right. If you want to know the exact location and you are a person who comments regularly (and we have developed some type of relationship) just email me and I'll let you know. I don't feel comfortable posting it and letting anyone who comes across my blog .... you know the drill.

Oh and I have a pretty deep post planned for my next post. I guess this is a disclaimer. I’m the type of person that if I need to get something off my chest, I get it off my chest. The topic I’ll discuss in my next post is one that I’ve held off on publishing because I know how it makes a lot of people feel. And I’m not one that likes to make anyone uncomfortable. I’ve gone back and forth on why I should and should not hit publish on that post. But I think that when I have a forum such as my blog it kinda becomes my responsibility to share things I’ve experienced or things I’ve learned over the years. I don’t want this place to only be about pictures of food, outfits and everything pretty. I want my blog to reflect me as a person. To be real and to share not only things that make us happy but also things that make us think and step out of our comfort zone. If I’m able to do that then I know that not only am I doing a service to myself, I’m doing a service to my readers. Life isn’t always rainbow and sunshine. My blog has to reflect that part of life too. And so if you would like to have only rainbow and sunshine, I’ll recommend you come back, let’s say Friday. I mean, Friday IS the happiest day of the week.

Plus, my sister reminded me of this: "What other people think of you is none of your business."

I hope you all had wonderful weekends! xoxo ♥
