Highlights from the Memorial Day Stay-cation of 2012 included:

  • Spending time with my brother
  • Hanging out in the sun, on my back deck, with my dog
  • Lot’s of grilling and eating a delicious fruit and cheese plate
  • Spending what time I could with my busy husband
  • Having lunch on the deck with Teeny and Jake
  • Mani/Pedi
  • Checking out all of the beautiful flowers in my yard
  • Watching dragonflies and butterflies buzz about
  • Reading all of my favorite Women’s Magazines
  • Listening to Eat, Pray, Love
  • Dinner with my family on Sunday and the first bocce game of the season

I have another stay-cation planned for this weekend. But tonight I get to go on a really fun date with Jay. Heading to my favorite place in Boston. Plus 1 if you know where that is…

It is Memorial Day weekend and the weather is hot, humid and sunny. Most are heading to the beach, but I am sitting on my top deck, watching my dog sniff the fresh suburban air while I listen to Eat, Pray, Love and the studio construction below me. I am practicing my own brand of absolute pleasure. I made something like iced coffee and fluffy chocolate chip pancakes. I’m enjoying the birds and the heat. My hip has stopped throbbing and I will be able to go out today. I plan to visit the farm stands in North Andover to buy fresh produce. I will be a little self indulgent and get a long overdue pedicure. I will make fresh lemonade and perhaps grill a salmon fillet and brussels sprouts for lunch, coupled with leftover brown rice. I am going to read, enjoy the sun and perhaps take a nap. Like everyone else in the U.S., I have long needed this long weekend and I am reveling in the fact that the weather couldn’t be any better. In fact, I may even sit with my notebook and write. What a wonderful thought. What are you doing this weekend?
