Weekending
9/06/2016
Aren't weeks so much better when they start on a Tuesday instead of a Monday? I never mind working on a Friday but there's just something so dreaded about a Monday so I never mind skipping straight over it and going to Tuesday. Unfortunately, we have a company meeting all day today (and I mean ALL day, it starts at 9 am and ends at 7 pm) so I'll be completely MIA from blogland but I'm linking up with Biana anyway to share my weekend recap since it was a busy/fun one!
Friday was an early day for me since I was on social media duty for the weekend (which basically means I'm on call for anything that pops up on social over the weekend). I was supposed to head straight to Tampa after work for the Summer of Rum Festival but right as I was headed out we found out it was canceled due to Hurricane Hermine and the winds so instead I headed out with Kerri and the boys for an impromptu happy hour.
Saturday was the first UCF game of the season so we headed down to tailgate for a bit before heading in to watch the game. My parents also came into town Saturday for a quick birthday weekend trip for my mom. They were due to come in earlier but after a full day of delays they didn't make it in until Saturday evening.
Sunday the weather was better so we decided to head over to Epcot for some birthday fun for my mom. My parents hadn't been to Disney in like 20-something years so it was fun to get to experience that with them even if my dad was more than skeptical about being there.
Monday was by far my most relaxed day. We started out the day a little later (which was nice) before my mom and I headed out to try to get pedis. Unfortunately every place was closed so we ended up doing some shopping at Target and running to lunch at my parents favorite Mexican restaurant in town. It was rainy so after lunch we headed home and binge watched Z Nation before heading to bed.
Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

So fun that you got to spend the weekend with your parents!! I looove that green dress! And of course, so jealous of your Disney days :)
ReplyDeleteIm with you on starting the weeks on a Tuesday. I'd be ok with that happening every week! :) Looks like you had a great weekend! Good luck at your conference today!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! I was also supposed to go to Summer of Rum, and was sad it was cancelled. But we made up for it in Dunedin (about 40 minutes from where rum fest would have been) and made an impromptu pub crawl :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice that your parents were in town! Glad the hurricane didn't mess up your plans too much !
ReplyDeleteYeah love seeing how much fun you had with your parents and wasn't this extended holiday weekend just the best?!?!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, 9-7! Good luck with that! Weeks that start on Tuesdays are definitely much better!! Have a great week! Xo
ReplyDeleteEVERY work week should start on Tuesday... and we should still get paid for Monday, obvs. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to yo mama!!!!!
So glad your parents came in for a quick trip! Nothing beats family time. Hope you can relax tonight after your long meeting! Goodness! Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteLove your minnie ears! That is so great that you got to go to Disney with your parents. How fun.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit with the dress and Converse is adorable! But how is it physically possible for a MEETING to last that long?! Glad to hear you had such a great weekend despite the storm!

Yikes- that is certainly an ALL DAY meeting if I've ever heard of one haha. Hope it somehow goes quickly for you! Love your Disney pics- so fun being there when someone's celebrating :)
ReplyDeleteI felt like there was a lot of places closed down on Monday too, and one of them was Chickfila which made me so sad! It sounds like you had a great weekend! It's always so much fun to go back to your alma mater for a football game, and that's awesome that it didn't get rained out! And yes to visiting Disney with your parents, and that your mom got her birthday button too!
ReplyDeleteYay for going to your first football game of the year (& for their win)! Hope you enjoyed having your parents in town for the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThat green dress is so cute!! Glad you had a fun weekend with your parents!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in town to go to the UCF game and Disney sounds like a great way to celebrate your Mom's birthday especially since the weather was nice enough to enjoy the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a fun weekend-- and I'm sure it was so cool to take them to Disney for the first time in so long! I actually think the last time I was at Disney was 20 years ago too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend! Disney is so fun with adults-haha!!
ReplyDeleteDoor about Hermine ruining your plans, but looks like you guys had an awesome time!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend with your parents and Disney!!
