My Busy Weekend

 I had a busy weekend this weekend but a good kind of busy.

Saturday, I woke up early to try to finish a gift for a friend's birthday.  I didn't finish it (almost but not quite)

Then we went to Cheesecake Factory for my friend's birthday lunch.  I haven't been there in years!!  They did very well with social distancing.  My sister and I have recommitted to a healthier lifestyle and I am proud to report that we both got something off the "skinnylicious" menu and we passed on the cheesecake (not an easy thing to do at the Cheesecake Factory"

 

 

This next photo - I took quickly in the bathroom (which is why it is blurry) - I just thought it was funny- the ladies hygiene dispenser looked like a face to me complete with a tear drop 😀

After lunch, it started raining & sleeting a bit, but my sister and I drove over to locate "Meals on Wheels" since she has an interview with them this week (fingers crossed).  Since we were near a Walmart, we went in there to pick up some items I need to make a dinner on Sunday.  

My sis then ordered a coffee from a nearby Starbucks using her app and we had trouble locating the actual shop, but fortunetly, finally did and made it home safely.

That evening, I watched Dead Poets Society and finished my friend's gift - a Rubix Cube Tissue Holder, like Sheldon has on Big Bang Theory.

 

Sunday morning started with on-line church.  Then I went to the grocery store because the day before, I couldn't find a Tres Leche Cake (I wanted to get a small cake to go with the meal I was making for my church friend).

Luckily Publix had a cake, then I came home and started working on a Mystery Game Day Crochet Along

 

Marly Bird does one every Super Bowl Sunday - it started at 8 am and it was almost 1 pm by the time I got around to starting so I already felt very far behind.  Then a friend called me and we talked for almost and hour and by then it was time to start making the dinner to take to my other friend.

So...I didn't get very far and after seeing everyone's finished projects (a small bag), I don't think I will make it.  It just isn't my style.  I might make the knitted version, I seemed to like it a little better.  We shall see.

So...about 3:30ish, I started making my friend's dinner....Chicken Enchiladas (using THIS recipe), Mexican Rice, Black Beans and (store bought) Tres Leche Cake and Mango Lemonade.

I then got in the car and drove to midtown to deliver my friend's dinner.  I had a little trouble finding the placed because her address is on a certain road but her house and driveway is actually on a different road (corner lot) - it was a little confusing but I located it and she happily met me at the door with some beautiful flowers from her award winning garden. (Literally, she has won AWARDS for her garden)

 

 I told her that I was supposed to give her flowers not the other way around!! They are beautiful and fragrant a totally made my day!

By the time I got home, it was time for the game, a friend called me and then I called my mom and made some Rotel Cups and settled down to watch the game about 7:15 pm.

WHEW !!  A busy, busy but good kind of busy weekend.  

I need another couple of days off to recover from the weekend !
