Catch Up for the Last Week

So this last weekend threw me off just slightly, I'm not going to lie.  Although it was absolutely worth it :)

I spent the weekend in Massachusetts with my family which was awesome as always.  The reason for the trip, although sad, ended up being a really special experience.  My grandfather passed away in December and decided to be cremated.  My grandmother wanted to wait until it was a bit nicer out to have a memorial service and place his urn at his cemetery plot so Easter weekend was picked. I left work early and got into town Thursday evening and had dinner with my Grandmother at one of my favorite restaurants ever!  Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA.  It is a farm to table type restaurant with its own garden and even their own black angus cows...which happen turn into delightful filet mignon as I found out at dinner :)

Normally when I go to MA,  I can count on at least one evening staying up way too late with my grandmother <--one of the most amazing women I have ever known, and who never seems to sleep;-)--and a bottle of wine.  We got a bottle at the restaurant and ended up practically shutting the place down after we were done eating.  Dinner was delicious & the conversation as always was inspiring, motivating and lovely!

I woke up around 7 the next morning and went downstairs.  I tried....I really tried to want to do something productive.  Instead I was up for about 20 minutes and then went back up to bed for a little longer and read.  The night before was really wonderful and we were up until about 1am so I didn't feel too bad about resting a little longer.

The rest of the weekend was pretty busy helping Gram to get ready for the memorial, the memorial itself and then traveling to a beach in Maine to spread some of his ashes<--which by the way, was one of the most beautiful and spiritual things that I have ever witnessed.  (I will probably write more about this in the HighHeeledHoney blog).  The next morning I woke up early but not by choice....I had a flight to catch to make it back for the Easter Egg hunt with bf and bf's son.  Then later that day, I had a TON of hw.  All in all and exhausting weekend!  Great but exhausting!

This past week I have been waking up around 7 with the exception of today.  Bf and I watched 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' which was really good but REEEEAAAAlly long so I slept in a little today.

 I am hoping my yoga dvd come in today so in the morning on Friday I am planning to do some physical activity which means I will need to go to bed at reasonable time tonight.  Wish me luck!

Some funny stuff happened throughout the weekend  and even this week that I wanted to include in this blog but I figure at this point it would be difficult to pile it all in.  This was just a quick update and tomorrow I may return to my attempt at witty banter regarding the horrors and the successes in trying to be a morning person :)
