Weekending! {Linkup}

This weekend was very much needed. Things are getting increasingly busy at work, and after the week I had, I needed to recharge.

{Friday}
Layne suggested going to Home Depot and Target on Friday night and I just about had to pick my jaw up off the floor. He hates taking me to either, so for him to suggest it was, to put it lightly, a pleasant surprise. I think it may have been out of pity, but I'm ok with that.

I think I maybe killed this plant? My mom told me that you could return plants to Home Depot for up to a year, so I thought I may as well take it with me. It has been dead for a solid two months, and I only bought it three months ago. Well, she was wrong. I had three months to return it, and I missed it by a week. CLEARLY this plant has not become this desiccated in a single week, but whatever. I just left it on a shelf in their garden area. Regardless of getting my $10 back, maybe they can resurrect it. I don't deserve to own plants. 

{Saturday}
I had asked Layne to help me with a few home projects, so Saturday he got to work on fixing that stupid IKEA dresser. I'll have to share the fix a bit later, but I LOVE that my towels are not all over my living room anymore. It has only been broken for, oh, about three years. I asked Layne to fix it just last week and have no idea why I waited so long.

Saturday night we made it out to Wolf Trap (bucket list!) to watch Jim Gaffigan. We got some Smash Burger with friends first, then drove over to Wolf Trap and plopped our blanket out on the lawn. I had a bunch of candy, there were no mosquitoes, a full moon, and Jim Gaffigan. Pretty much a perfect summer night.

{Sunday}
Sunday, we binged. I had been wanting fondue, so Layne made some and it was soooooo good. Fondue is supposed to be a social thing, but the room was almost silent as we both shoveled gooey, perfectly melted cheese into our mouths. It was just the sort of indulgence I needed before beginning another long week!

  1. I have the same problem with plants. I'm all about it at the beginning of the season, but by this time I just don't care anymore and end up killing them. Ooops. lol. Fondue sounds so yummy! Sounds like a fun weekend!

    1. Thanks! I think they should make you pass some sort of test before they just let you buy a plant, right? Then we all wouldn't have these horror stories.

    1. Yeah - just note: Not forever. My mom told me I had a YEAR to return it and obviously that was not true. Ha ha.

  5. I've only ever owned one plant and definitely killed it so for that very reason I have never bought another one, ha! Glad you had a good weekend after a rough week!

    1. Thanks, Paige! I have managed to keep my plant from IKEA alive for nearly 3 years, so if you're ever thinking about it, I have found the one plant that can't be killed and can recommend something.

  6. I had no idea you could return plants to Home Depot! Definitely keeping that in mind because I think I'll be killing a few myself :)
