I love the long weekends...mostly! Here I sit at almost 3pm on a Saturday and I know I still have two more days to go! Mark had to work today (BOO YAH OVERTIME) but will end up still getting a two day weekend because of the long weekend, AND get paid for one of his 'weekend' days! Sweet!
We are having company for dinner tonight and so I have been prepping the food. I am making a South African dish that I learned from my late mother in law (late because I divorced her son, and late because sadly, she died a few weeks ago) called Peri Peri Chicken..I'll bake it in the oven along with a mix of potatoes and onions (and garlic!), and do some sort of veggie. Our friends are bringing over some 'cow' they said (yes, they said COW! lol)...and she is making something decadent that involves caramel. If it isn't TOO rainy (doubtful, THANKS WA STATE!!) we'll have a bonfire, otherwise, we'll find something to occupy us! Mark and I have always been big on entertaining...we love being around people, we love opening up our home (which is soon to be renovated!!!), and we love cooking (ok, mostly I like EATING!)...
Tomorrow we'll head off to church in the morning and then the rest of the day is open for plans, whatever they may be. Same with Monday, minus the Church part....and here is what I don't like about long weekends, for the rest of the week, I am going to be a day behind! When one is going to college and has a schedule of classes and homework, being a day behind doesn't always work out well, which is why I am going to try (note, I said TRY) to get a bit ahead this weekend. We'll see.
In the meantime, I need to get back to cooking. Have a great weekend all, I know that we sure will! :)
Hugs to all,
Jaye
