Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Days

An apology for falling off the bandwagon with my Lenten projects! This weekend we did something we haven't done in quite a while... nothing! And it was fabulous! We've taken to calling these types of days 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory days' or 'Grandpa Joe days' (Grandpa Jo from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not my actual Grandpa Jo). Remember how in the movie the grandparents just laid in bed all day and talked and slept and ate, then repeated the whole process. Well, that's basically what a 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory day' includes for us, plus a whole lot of movies! On Friday we finally picked up Season 1 of Glee and a couple of the Oscar winning movies. Then Saturday morning we got up and did nothing but watch Glee! (That's not entirely true, we also took Chuki to the vet. Hello double ear infection. Poor pup.) On the way home from the vet we picked up a roasted chicken to there was not even any cooking! Anyways, it was exactly what we needed. Just time to relax and rest. Time to drift in between consciousness and napping for a whole day. Then on Sunday we had a half Charlie and the Chocolate Factory day (we had to finish Glee, of course). And spent the rest of the day cleaning the apartment (it needed it BADLY), cooking dinner and having some good conversation.

The only bad thing about doing nothing all weekend is that there are still volcanoes to be climbed and museums to be visited. Maybe this week sometime? Who knows?!

I promise you'll get my Friday and Monday projects just after this. I usually don't blog on the weekends, so no photos from Saturday and Sunday!
