Weekending || Droughtlander is finally over!!

This weekend was pretty low key. It was a rest and relax aka Netflix and chill type weekend. It was exactly what I needed. Not to say it didn’t have any highlights. Let’s recap, ok? Okay.

On Friday after work Scott made some amazing quesadillas and I drank this delicious wine. We attempted to watch Allied because I have been on a Brad Pitt kick lately. Unfortunately, as I suspected might happen I was bored. When I say I am on a Brad Pitt kick, I mean 90’s like Legends of the Fall,  Interview with the Vampire, Meet Joe Black, old school Brad. Sometimes, I feel so old. I haven’t really liked anything he’s done since Moneyball. Sorry buddy, just not my type of movies. We ended up switching to ER Season 1 because clearly I love all things 90’s. Doug Ross and young Dr. Carter get all the heart eyes from me. On Saturday I ate this amazing breakfast on my balcony. It really does pay to be married to a chef. Or ex-chef, as he would say. I kind of feel like once a chef always a chef. haha.

I also did a happy dance because it finally rained after forever and ever of no rain. I was hoping for a downpour but no luck. I’ll take anything we can get. I’m so ready for this Smokanagan season to be done with. No more fires. Please. I did some chores as Saturday mornings aren’t complete without them. And coffee. I say some because I must admit it wasn’t my best effort. I did a lot more procrastinating than actually getting shit done. C’est la vie. As a reward for my efforts because all that matters is that I tried I had this wine with dinner.

Then headed to the theatre to watch the movie It. I was a little nervous about going. I hadn’t seen the original movie or read the book. Lots of people were saying it was scary. I never go to the theatre to watch scary movies. I like them but I often get too scared. I like to be able to get up and leave if I change my mind. You can’t do that at the theatre. If I am going to watch a scary movie, I prefer psychological thrillers and don’t like gore at all. I actually ended up really enjoying it. Honestly, I didn’t really find it scary. There were parts that were definitely creepy but it was also pretty funny. Two thumbs up. It even made me curious enough that I have to read the book now.

On Sunday I waited. Impatiently. Counting down the minutes to the Outlander Season 3 Premiere. It has been a loooooonnnngggg wait but #Droughtlander is finally over! Of course, I also had to watch the season 2 finale. I passed the time during the day puttering around the house, blogging and playing with my big girl camera. Something I haven’t done in quite a while.

I also did a little online shopping. What can I say I am a sucker for an Air Miles promotion. I had a few different things in mind but I ended up going with these reading socks from Indigo. I can’t wait to be snuggled up on the couch in front of a fake tv fireplace reading a new or old favourite book.

I also got a couple of e-books to go along with those socks. Next on my to-read list are Into the Water by Paula Hawkins and Prince Lestat by Anne Rice. I loved The Girl on the Train and so I am excited about Paula’s new book. It has been a hot minute or a couple of decades since I have read an Anne Rice novel but keeping with my I love the 90’s theme I thought I would hit up The Vampire Chronicles again. It is hard to believe she is still writing them. I thought it was the newest one and apparently it isn’t. I also was surprised to learn there are 12 of them since I have only read 6. I may have some catching up to do. While writing this post I discovered that a tv show is in the works as well. Since The Vampire Diaries has ended, I think I may have room for this in my life. So hurry up and get it done, if it is really happening.

Of course, I also spent a good chunk of the weekend glued to #Irma updates, crossing my fingers and toes and praying for the safety of loved ones and strangers alike.

And that’s a wrap on another weekend.
