Weekend Inspiration

Evidently, I haven't quite been writing furiously and to be honest, I don't want to dwell on on the reasons why. I will say this, I felt like I didn't have anything worthwhile to write about for a while there, and I hope to change it this time around.

Weekends are a special time for me, like everyone else.I pack in a load of activities into my weekend to maximise every minute. Sometimes, I even compromise on sleep to do this.

Mostly, I look forward to attending nights out with friends, cooking(occasionally), catching up on movies and reading. On a side note, I'm currently reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Its a surprisingly engrossing read -despite Oprah's book club sticker. I adore and am inspired by the woman, we just read different:). The characters are raw, complex and real. Highly recommended reading, if you haven't had the chance to read it yet.

This weekend is both my sister's and father's birthday. Tomorrow, plans are to have a fun night out (dinner and dancing!) with my sister and on Saturday, we are hosting a tiny dinner party for my dad. I want to do something special for the party on Saturday night but cant decide what. Im thinking 'thank you' cards or helping out with the dining table decorations.

What do activities do you like to engage in during the weekends?

PS: Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Heres to a fun filled weekend with your loved ones:)
