Bank Holiday Weekend Goals Vs. What I Actually Did


Goals for Bank Holiday Weekend:

1. Marie Kondo my wardrobe.

2. Sell rejected items from Marie Kondo exercise on eBay.

3. Marie Kondo the final box from our move last summer languishing in the spare room.

4. Write 6 blog posts.

5. Go to the gym 4 times.

What actually happened:

1. Ate a brisket burger. Saw Kung Fu Panda 3 in 3D.

2. Went to the gym once.

3. Cooked a roast meal for friends. Drank too much wine.

4. Ended up stark naked on a heated marble slab being scrubbed down with salt and honey after being thrashed with birch twigs in a Russian sauna. Followed up with beer and pickles in the "relaxation room".

5. Watched Despicable Me while eating Cadbury Creme Eggs with a spoon. Passed out at 9:00 p.m.

Yup.

  3. "Cadbury Creme Eggs with a spoon"

    Class.

    There are (best-laid) plans, and then there is what actually happens.

    [No time for spoons round here though - as soon as the wrapper comes off, it's "Creme Egg meets mouth" time]

    1. Haha! I like to eat them that way too, Iain, but then I decided to experiment with scooping out the filling first and liked that better! :D

  4. You're making me feel guilty too ;-). I did get to the gym a few times but ate so much in between that it hardly counts. The Russian sauna sounds like fun!

    1. The Russian sauna was CRAZY. Crazy, but so much fun. I'd highly recommend it. Certainly an experience I never imagined I'd have on Easter Sunday night!

  5. This sounds like the perfect weekend! Too much wine and dinner with friends sounds like the perfect combination!

    1. Thanks, Courtney! We rarely ever had guests over when I was growing up, so I feel like I've been making up for lost time ever since we bought our house! It's so fun to sit around the dinner table and laugh and chat for hours over delicious food.

  6. You eat your creme eggs with a spoon?! Very classy lady. I think now they're getting smaller I could pop them in whole. Oink. :)

    1. I haven't always, Rebecca, but I recently discovered that I liked scooping out the filling separately - weird, I know! So good ... wish I brought one to work with me today!

  7. Sounds exactly like my weekend plans vs. what actually happened! Except you did better than me in the gym department. I did have an hour long walk, I'm gonna count that :)

    1. Haha! People were up-in-arms over the spoon eating incident but sometimes I just like to separate it from the chocolate! Try it and report back, please! I just used a teaspoon. :)
