Saturday at Home

 Saturday Vibes: Cold Weather, Cozy Moments, and Taking Care of Business

Saturday finally arrived, and let me tell you—I was so glad to make it to the weekend. There’s just something about waking up without an alarm that instantly sets the tone for the day. I woke up around 7:00 a.m., which felt like sleeping in, and the extra rest was exactly what I needed.

I didn’t have much planned today, which honestly made it even better. The only real errand on the agenda was a drive to Marlow, Oklahoma, to stop by the bank and deposit some money. Of course, no trip into town is complete without food involved, so we planned a Sonic stop for breakfast burritos and drinks. I’m hoping Luther was feeling generous and willing to be my driver—because I truly enjoy being the passenger and just riding along.

We headed out around 9:00 a.m., and wow—winter definitely showed up today. It was around 27 degrees, which made me extra thankful that staying inside was an option for the rest of the day. Once we were back home, I happily settled in where it was warm and cozy.

One of my favorite plans for the day was working in my junk journal for my swap with Moira. I was genuinely excited when she asked if I wanted to do another journal swap. It’s such a fun and creative process, and I love pouring little bits of myself into the pages.

We also had the TV on throughout the day and watched a mix of shows, including Landman, Sister Wives, Wander, and a few true crime stories. Somewhere in between all of that, I carved out some quiet time to read on my Kindle, which felt like the perfect balance to the day.

I also took care of some grown-up business—something I’m pretty proud of. I called Walmart about a delayed package for Mr. C. The AI assistant wasn’t helpful at all, so I requested a representative and ended up speaking with Max, who was incredible. Not only did he issue a refund, but he also gave us a $10 credit off a $15 purchase. The refund was only $28, but hey—money is money, and at least it wasn’t lost.

Last night, I also called Amazon about a package that should have been delivered back on December 22, 2025. That one was refunded too—$25. It felt really good to make the calls and handle business instead of putting it off.

Tonight, we’re winding down by watching the Denver Broncos play football against the Buffalo Bills. They’re playing in Denver, Colorado, and it feels like the perfect way to end a low-key Saturday.

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing a little piece of my day with me. I hope to see you again soon!

Spending day with the husband.

Saturdays have a way of feeling a little slower and sweeter, especially when I get to spend the whole day with my husband. We started our morning early at 6:30 AM, catching up on the news from the night before. It was a calm and peaceful way to ease into the day.

By mid morning, we headed to a celebration of life memorial at 10 AM. Robbie’s son Erick had passed away. Though I did not know Erick personally, it was easy to see how deeply he was loved by everyone in attendance. Moments like these remind us of the importance of family and community.

Afterward, Mr.C. and I stopped at our favorite local Mexican restaurant-Esperanza. Their food never disappoints, and this time we both tried something new. I chose the enchiladas, and they were just as delicious as expected. On the way home mr. C filled up my Jeep with gas-Just one of the many small, thoughtful ways he takes care of me. I appreciate him so much for that

Enchiladas were great!

Luther had the chicken flautas. Luther said his food was tasty. 

Once we got home, we changed into comfy clothes. I then called my stepdad to see if I could come out for a visit. He lives about 20 minutes away in Bray, Oklahoma on the drive back, I found a new spot-Mara’s Snackery. I grabbed a ham and cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, plain chips, and a sprite lemonade with real lemon slices. Oh my, it was delicious! I’m already planning to go back to try the salad bar.

The salad bar looked good.  They have bought a huge salad bar that looks great. It will have so much more variety. 

The rest of the day we just stayed home, visiting and relaxing together. It was a good Saturday spent with my husband.
