Seth was home for the weekend so I knew I was in for some type of manual labor. I'm pretty sure he has forgotten what it means to take it easy or relax on the weekends since that is the only time he is home to get anything done. Luckily, he didn't have anything too crazy in mind.
I managed to sleep in until 9:30 Saturday which hardly ever happens anymore, so that was pretty nice. I woke up just in time to throw on some old clothes and ride into town, with Seth, to get some diesel for the skid loader and a cookie for breakfast. I know, healthy choices people!
We came home and I decided, with a friendly nudge from my adorable husband, to finally stain our beck deck. It has only been two years-ish since we power-washed and bought the stain so I don't see what the big rush is, but it was a sunny day so I happily obliged. Happily only because I knew I could get my tan on at the same time. Plus I could jam out to Pandora.
About an hour in to the staining, I decided that sunblock would probably be a good idea. Apparently an hour was a little too long to wait or else year old sunblock is not a good idea. Either way, my back is a lobster. A bright red, freshly boiled, lobster.
See, I look like a lobster. |
But doesn't my deck look great?!
Quite the upgrade, if I may say so. |
My husband decided to reward all my hard work/tan burn time with dinner and a movie. Steak and potatoes. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in The Internship, good stuff I tell ya. (I should probably note that my husband did yard work will I stained the deck. Don't want anyone to freak that my husband makes me do work while he does nothing.)
Sunday was uneventful and included a nap, my husband staying home an extra night and some buttery popcorn. A good day in my books.
Heading home after work to take an apple cider vinegar bath. Supposedly it helps keeps your sunburn from peeling?? Not too optimistic over here.
Linking up with Sami's Shenanigans.
I want to see the Internship. Maybe I'll make Will take me this week sometime! Maybe I'll have better luck if I take him...Your deck does look impressive! Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteYou totally should. I probably would have liked it even more if it wasn't a 10:30 movie and I was ready to fall asleep:) And, thanks! I'm pretty proud of my deck:)
