Monday Morning Coffee

 

Good Monday morning! I hope you had a lovely weekend! Our weekend was nice here, and yep. You guessed it. Cold! We bundled up and headed to Mass, but we returned home right after to warm up! I don't like the cold, but I try to remind myself that soon enough, I will be complaining that it is too hot. So, there's that. 

Here is the photo of the beautiful view we have as we ride into town for Mass. I love it every single time.

In other news, we had the most delicious spread of food last night! Steve picked up some pizza; Rhett got some delicious, fresh, soft tacos from his favorite place and made Oreo Balls. Kyrstin made everyone's favorite Buffalo Chicken dip. Madison and Nico brought an amazingly good pan of homemade macaroni and cheese, and I added a fresh salad. Apparently, there was a big football game on, so we had that on too. LOL Congratulations to the Seahawks fans! And to the Patriots fans, as a Steelers fan, I feel your pain. 

Madison made cake! Pumpkin with cream cheese icing!

And it is delicious!

Before the food and fun, I checked off the items on my Sunday list in my planner. I recently started doing this because I realized I was doing random things on Saturday and then doing more things on Sunday. I felt as if I was never fully done or ready for the week, and I also felt I was missing the point of having a day to simply be and rest. I made a list of things I did or wanted to do to feel ready for a brand-new week. 

I know I have this list to work on Sunday, so Saturday is free for rest, relaxation, and Mass. I don't put pressure on myself to complete everything, and if it doesn't get done, I move it to Monday. But so far, so good! I asked Chat for some images of how I spent my day yesterday. 

And there you have it. Straight from an unknown artificial intelligence source that I truly will never understand. Nor do I want to. Because as much as I like to play around on it, Chat totally creeps me out. And it concerns me how it will be used by some in the future. 

Now I am off to pour one more cup of coffee, wait for Steve to wake up, and get started on my day. Flynn and I have school today, and thanks to last night, we have leftovers for dinner. I have laundry to do as well, and I am sure we will watch the Olympics tonight. I hope you have a cozy February day, my friends. Thank you for visiting!
