Heading to Crab Island!
Heading to Crab Island!

I can’t remember when I’ve had such a relaxing weekend.

I stayed late Friday to get everything done at the paper so I had not one worry waking up Saturday morning.

I went with Mr. Smith to watch a Taekwondo demonstration he was in and his black belt recommended test. In the downtime I sat in the waiting room and worked on rewriting End of Mae to be republished soon.

Afterwards I spent the afternoon out on a pontoon boat with Mr. Smith and his fellow martial art teachers and went to the infamous Crab Island courtesy of Gilligan’s Island.  It was our first time at Crab Island, and an afternoon relaxing on a pontoon was better than a spa for rejuvenation. Dinner at First Choice Buffet was the best Chinese buffet we’d ever been to, also a gift.

Sunday was sleeping in for the first time in months… stayed in bed until 7:30 a.m. at least. Relaxing coffee, watching movies and a shop. Then I tackled a blog issue I was having and fixed it in my FTP directory (I’m still not even sure what that means…), got some mending jobs done and found out some interesting info on Amazon Prime I didn’t know.

  1. You can share your membership with four family members.
  2. They now have a Pandora type radio free for Prime members.
  3. I can check out one ebook a month.
  4. Of course, free two day shipping.

So, for me it was the best weekend I’ve had in ages… relaxing, spending time with Mr. Smith and the boys and getting some of my own stuff done. How was your weekend?
