It’s the weekend and I decided was a good reason to make a post about random happy things that have gone on this week …
* I had dinner at my Grandma Rita’s house the other night. We had such a nice visit. She shared a cookie recipe with me for these lovely crunchy sugar cookies that I can remember my great gram making years ago. They’re fabulous dunked in coffee. Yum! I’m planning to make a double batch and take some to my grandma as a “thank you”.
* I spent my Saturday morning with my hunny. He went across town and got donuts from my favorite locally-owned shop (which is in a not-so-nice part of the city). Haven’t had donuts from this shop since I was a kid! I made coffee which, for some reason, tasted especially wonderful too. We spent the morning talking, sipping coffee, and listening the Mumford and Sons CD. How great of a morning is that!?
* Earlier this week, we found out the other day that Cold is going to be playing at Peabody’s in Cleveland on March 29th. We scored tickets (for only $15 each!) and I got the day off work to go. From what I understand, Peabody’s is a fairly small venue, so it should be amazing.
* Stopped by World of Music today and saw they were having signups for a Ukulele Workshop next weekend. For $45, you get a ukulele, a beginner group lesson, “learning materials” (a booklet of some sort, presumably) and an art workshop to customize your new uke. Seriously … how fun does that sound?! I stood there and debated for a quite a while and finally decided to just go for it.
… As a result I’ve wasted the rest of my afternoon browsing sites like Ukulele Underground (!!) and perusing ukulele cover songs on YouTube. (Check out the one above – awesome!) I’m ridiculously excited. Mike says I have to learn to at least play “Happy Birthday” by the time his birthday rolls around next January. (Deal!)
* Finally, I wanted to share some wonderful new-to-me blogs that I’ve stumbled upon recently. I just adore these ladies … Liz at SrslyLiz, Danielle at Sometimes Sweet, Alycia at The Curious Pug, Elycia at Love Elycia and Kyla at KylaRoma.com. Check them out!
I’m off to catch a nap – ’cause there’s nothing more luxurious and wonderful on a rainy afternoon – and enjoy the rest of my weekend. Hope y’all are having a great Saturday too!
