catch up::a mini stay-cation at home

so good to be back! last week was a mini stay-cation as Jordan recovered from his broken finger and i worked minimum hours. 

the entire week was spent together talking, sometimes cooking dinner, laughing, hanging out with Roy, sleeping in, and watching copious amounts of television. i decided not worry about how messy the apartment got or how much i was wearing pajama pants. i was determined to enjoy this short time off for both of us and to especially enjoy my husband.

 i have to tell you it was a blast. we caught up on two seasons of Dexter, watched all our regular shows, threw in a couple movies, and watched the premiere Fox Tuesday including New Girl! i love that show, (so does Jordan but he won't admit it.)

during last week i was able to:

::perfect my chocolate chip cookie recipe.

::tackle some amazing recipes by these lovely ladies including pumpkin quesadillas (don't judge until you've tried it) and sushi salad (the best new thing i have made so far).

::take my mom shopping for her birthday and had my first Starbucks of the season.

::spend a whole day crafting framed tributes to my mom from me and my two brothers. 

::catch a mini cold for two days but got over it fast with some soup, sleep, and fizzy tablets.

Jordan was able to return to work this past Tuesday and is doing well. i am back on track with my to-do list and regular household duties. plus, i spent all day yesterday cleaning...i feel much better already!

hope the rest of your week is great!
