Chocolate Mint, Mother's Day, and Happiness.

This weekend was pretty laid-back, which is always nice.  Friday night we had Bingo, and it was good to see Julie since we don't see her very much anymore.

Saturday I slept way in, and then we got up and went and got donuts for breakfast.  I know, that's terrible but it's been so long since I had a donut! Everyone deserves a little cheat now and then.  We mostly relaxed for a few hours, then met Shawn for Pho before going and hunting down a Mother's Day gift for Josh's mom.  While doing so, I managed to find myself a new little plant to adopt-so I've happily added some Chocolate Mint to the west window.  Here's hoping it makes the house smell lovely when the sun hits it!

Sunday Josh and Max (who has been crashing on our couch) both left early, and I was so excited to have a little alone time I managed to get a bunch of stuff done.  I ran to the grocery store, deep cleaned the whole kitchen, and repotted some plants that needed to make a big move.  I also managed to get all caught up on Revenge while enjoying coffee out of the disappearing Tardis mug Josh got me for my birthday.  Yum!

Then Sunday night I made the trek down to my grandmother's for the Mother's Day BBQ.  It was very nice hanging out with my family and celebrating my momma and grandma.  Also nice playing frisbee with my little brother-especially since he had shoulder surgery so we could only play lightly.  I only busted 2 fingernails instead of all of them! haha

My mom and me.

Other things making me happy this week:

• I'm working on a new design for Art @ Home and am loving it so far!
• I'm talking to a new guy... Meeting someone new is always scary and exciting.  I'm all about experience and learning new things, and a new person in my life brings those things! Who knows what will happen, but at least I'm putting myself out there right? Right. lol  So we probably are going to go out this week-and we have a mutual friend who assures me he's not a serial killer or anything.
• I'm probably buying a Canon T3i in the next few weeks.  I am so ready for a DSLR! 
• There are so many awesome giveaways happening here on the blog still.  See the sidebar for details! 
• The gorgeous Jolene from With a Little Help from My Friends was taking pictures, and took a "tribute" picture for me... Not only is she pretty, but she totally cracks me up.  Look, I'll put them side by side-and I even draw myself that way lol! 

What is making you happy this week?
