This past weekend was truly a lazy one! As a government contractor, I was fortunate enough to enjoy a "three day weekend" due to the fact Monday, November the 11th, was Veteran's Day. Most local, state, and federal government employees and contractors have federal holidays off. These days include, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Veteran's Day. Banks and the postal service are closed as well.
Nevertheless, thanks to a longer weekend, the husband (aka Big Daddy) and I decided to stay home, relax, do laundry, make dinner, and enjoy a cocktail (or two!).
Just for fun, here are the highlights from our lazy Saturday!
I woke up early. Even though I wanted to sleep in, my body was up thanks to my daily schedule. Instead of falling back into my cozy bed, I got up, made coffee, had a lovely breakfast with Big Daddy, and hung out with 'le cat.'
After breakfast, I watched "Stalag 17" as I worked on my vintage clothing "fix/repair" pile. Once in a while, you gotta fix those popped seams, falling hems, and loose buttons!
By the time it was lunch (well, 2 pm), I finally spruced myself up and did my hair!
Now that it is fall and going into winter, it is time to pair bobby socks with my beloved Re-Mix wedges!
I intended to make dinner at home but Big Daddy's mother (aka Mammaleh), invited us over. We had cocktails, steak on the grill (shrimp for me), and a salad.
To end the night, we came home and Big Daddy retreated to the deck and enjoyed his beloved, vintage pipe and had a scotch.
Since it was Veteran's Day weekend and Big Daddy is a veteran (almost 10 years US Army Infantry), I wanted him to have a few super-chill, relaxed days off! I am proud of him and his service to this great nation!
And for all of you who have served, I want to say "thank you" for your esteemed service and dedication.
