A Perfect Saturday

I probably have many definitions of a perfect Saturday, so the one I'm going to write about is just one version of it, but ended up being perfect for me.

  • It's was overcast, rainy and cool...perfect fall weather.


  • Randy went out for a few hours, so I had the computer and the scrapbook room to myself.
  • Amie called, and we had one of our mega conversations (3 hours) where we basically go about our business at home while on the phone together. Delightful and amusing.
  • I worked on finished several good mail items.
  • Received 3 items of good mail!


Lelly sent this cute, Halloween Just Because card. Thanks!

Amie sent me this darling thank you card for various things (as pictured) and wrote such a sweet note that I actually got teary (me!). Thanks Amie!!


The awesome Lisa Leonard necklace I won from Kristi's blog contest arrived! I absolutely love it (no pun intended) and though I don't usually wear necklaces due to my desire not to draw attention to my unfortunate neck area, this necklace is going to change that. Thanks Lisa & thanks Kristi!!! This is my word for the year and I think this is a perfect way to remind myself.
  • I finally took a shower at 4:00pm then called Collette to see if she wanted to hang out for a bit. She had plans later but had an available hour and immediately "yes." (What a friend!) So I picked her up and we went to Costco and Sonic together and then chatted in the car.


  • Back to home to tidy-up for the weekend, put the kids to bed and then watch a movie with Randy.


The movie was very disappointing (2 stars maybe), but since I have had a crush on Jason Bateman since he was on Silver Spoons back in the early 80's it was still a little bit enjoyable.
Read in the cozy until I fell asleep. Ahhhhh.

**How was your weekend?
Has a thank you note ever made you cry?
Have you seen this movie?**

Your Saturday does sound perfect! We finished all the laundry around here (except one bed) and cleaned bathrooms. I know that doesn't sound very exciting but it feels so good to have most of it done already and it's Mon morning. I love this feeling!

Most definitely I have had a thank you note make me cry. I love Amie's card, so cute.

No on the movie and with the review, I'm not sure I'll waste my time.

Love the photo of you and Collette, cute SP!

Amie said...

Saturday was a good day... it worked out nicely that Jessica was at horse training and then was up for the long bath...

I am waiting to find what doesn't make me cry... so yes to crying over thank you notes.

I haven't seen that movie.

Nice that you and Collette got out together for an hour...

I am known as the town crier so yes, thank you cards and just about anything can make me cry!

Glad your weekend was great.

Though the entire weekend wasn't stellar, it had shining moments, which is all I can ask

I cry over everything. I a way over-sensitive person. I cry happy and sad tears a lot!

My husband and I have been renting the Arrested Development TV series from the video store, and have been trying to figure out where we recognize the main guy from. Have you ever watched that? Is it him? Who was he on Silver Spoons? It was so long ago and my memory is so bad. All I can remember is Ricky. Oh Ricky....

Amie said...

Is that you wearing the necklace?

Unknown said...

i ALWAYS thought jason bateman was cuter than ricky (i mean, RICK) schoeder!!

andrea said...

What a great Saturday. I too love Jason Bateman. Have you watched Arrested Development? He is great in that series.

Laurie said...

What a nice day. Sounds productive and relaxed at the same time - the ideal combination.

Thank you cards always make me feel emotional, mainly for the fact that someone took the time to write.

Very cute necklace!

Loving the necklace! Love the card from Amie - totally creative! I think that it is fantastic that you can chat on the phone for 3 hours while getting things done! What an awesome friend she must be to talk for that long! Love that!
I have received many a card/notes that make me cry. Your weekend sounds lovely!

crystal said...

Thank you notes always make me cry--both the receiving and the writing! I think people jot their deepest, best feelings into a thank you.

You made me start to fantasize about Ricky. Gotta go.

Alison said...

I love Saturdays...that necklace is pretty!

michelle said...

I am totally loving the necklace and now I want one for myself. It rocked my world to see you wearing it (in a good way!).

Yes I have received thank yous that made me cry. They're the best!

That does sound like a perfect Saturday!

Amy said...

Yes, that was a very nice Saturday. Cool weather, alone time, friend time. Can it get much better?

Your Saturday sounded perfect. I loved the weather and it was so low key over here. Great!

Amie's card is SO cute. I love that you can talk for that long and be productive. I am working on the productive part when I am on the phone.

Haven't seen that movie yet- but someone told me to watch it. I can't remember who. Now I don't know what to think!

Oh- and that necklace is awesome. And you and Collette are so cute.

Michelle Alley said...

Haven't seen this movie yet, but loved Silver spoons. Although my crush was more for Rickie than Jason. I even had his cute litte poster in my room! I've received some very lovely cards lately that have been very touching. This weekend was all about relaxing. It's getting cold here and definately that cozy time of year.

My weekend was great, I was out and enjoying being in Utah and seeing family and we spent 2 days at a rodeo watching my niece compete. Oh to ride a horse and have my butt stay in the saddle.

I love to receive notes that come from the heart.

I've not seen the movie, too bad about the 2 stars.

Yeah, I finally have a picture

Tip Junkie said...

The very first "scrabbooked" card I received made me cry. It was so beautiful and I felt special that someone would go to so much trouble to make something like that for me. ;) I'm glad you had your perfect Saturday.

I love awesome Saturday's and sadly it seems like they never happen. I think Saturdays are my least favorite day of the week.

Congrats on the win and how cool that it is your word for the year.
