Enjoy everything.

It is much too late, I will likely be mad at myself tomorrow for staying up to do this, but I have been mentally writing this blog for about a day and half and I would really like to get it out. 

I had a really nice weekend at home.  Nothing remarkably wonderful happened, I didn't even have real plans. It was just nice.  It even started off rocky with a less than desirable trip to the O (apparently their pizza really dislikes me these days).  More and more I have begun to realize that it doesn't take much for life to be good: just enjoy everything.  Easier said than done, I know, but I really feel like I did that this weekend.

We had a safe trip home,  we stopped for gas 30mins from home and it was cold and breezy, really felt like Fall.  And, for once, the thought of Fall didn't seem so bad.  I enjoyed that.

After dropping Anthony off at home and visiting with his pony of a dog, Willie, I came home to my mother talking on the phone to Beth.  She had me say hello, and that turned into a 30minute conversation.  I enjoyed that, it made me really miss her, but I enjoyed that.

I was sick as a dog in the Oasis bathroom (TMI, maybe?) any my Momma was there to nurse me.  She fanned me with my sweater and brought me a cold rag (toilet paper).  After the fact we were kind of able to laugh about the whole situation, and believe it or not, I enjoyed that.

Saturday we had brunch (which, I enjoyed of course) and headed to Walmart.  I hate Walmart.  I spent the rest of the afternoon working on a Halloween wreath that I was dying to make thanks to Pinterest, which by the way I am totally obsessed with right now. I really enjoyed that and  I think it turned out super cute.

What do you think?

I did a little bit of reading while Mom and Dad worked on dinner and a random football game was on TV.  We had an excellent dinner with some excellent wine then we headed for the couch.  Mom, Tink, and I snoozed while Dad talked to Granny on the phone.  It was simple and warm, and I enjoyed that.

I drove home to Lexington with the boy on a beautiful sunny Sunday after lunch with his parents.  We talked.  My friend Sarah came to stay with me for the night because she needed to be in Richmond early tomorrow morning.  I hadn't seen her since the middle of August.  We went to Kroger and I basically went about my Sunday evening routine, but I had good company.  We talked. A lot. (I talked a lot).  I enjoyed it.

So I know you get the point, I enjoyed this weekend.  But I think I am impressed, maybe even elated. This weekend I just able to enjoy living and all that it entails.  Despite everything that is going on with school and what-not (and despite that fact that I did little to no homework, which might make this coming week kind of bad) I just enjoyed life.   Maybe it's this time of year, thinking about the holidays, and family, and being home.  But I really hope it doesn't stop here.
