How much does work suck after a 3 day weekend??!!

Jeez! Can I just say - I loved my 3 day weekend! It's the first time in months that I have not done anything work related for one entire day, much less 3. I left my laptop in the trunk of my car until yesterday afternoon.

 

Today is filled with people feeling a lot like me, and people that aren't here because they were smart & made a 3 day weekend into a 5 dayer. So pretty much I am relaxed and completely disenchanted with the prospect of work right now.

 

So, wanna see what I'm thinking about instead? I purchased this rug on overstock.com yesterday:

I'm going to put it in our living room to add a layer of texture.

Rug goes under the coffee table/couch. I purchased some beautiful large tropical plants for the house yesterday, so that will add some interest as well.

 

So now I am searching for lighting. I'm thinking of a chandelier or pendant to replace the lame ceiling light over the coffee table. I've found some fun stuff at lampusa.com

Gosh- I wish I could be lazy. Over the weekend, I ended up getting assigned to fill in for another chick while doing my own job until we find a replacement. Woohoo- I love coming in on a Monday to that news!

 

As for the LR- cute rug. I like the wall colors and the mantel. It will look fabulous!

Excellent! I like your style Maura. I did not take a 2 hour lunch, only because I plan to leave here around 4:00 to go to my yoga class...so short lunch = no guilt for Christa!

Legal day! Holy crap! That is a great reason to slack at work wink.gif

Love the rug! Your house totally looks like a home now, last I saw it the place was empty. Very nice!!
Ugh, you are my hero. I am definitely taking more days next year. And thanks...I'm excited by the rug. The paint color looks a little weird in the pic...but I am confident the rug is going to marry nicely. I still don't have pictures on the walls...I reminded myself that I do not have any business trying to hang things on my own (you have to find a stud? use a level? what?) I will def post pics as it comes along.

So whatcha doing?? Are you having a icey beverage? with alcohol in it??

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
