This is Kona. He is one content pup today. Why? Well, it’s probably because Mike and I decided to skip the mountains this weekend to focus on house projects, homework (Mike), work (me) and a host of other to-do’s that have been neglected recently. Aren’t we so grown up!? This also means that Kona will be right by our side 24/7, the preferred place for Kona on any given day.

If I can stay motivated — which is going to be hard because it is cold, snowy and I just kind of want to watch movies — I hope to get quite a bit accomplished, including…

• Attempting to bake homemade muffins, such as these Orange Marmalade beauties
• Making a batch of freezable veggie burgers so that I have an easy dinner option when I get home late from work or the gym next week
• Stopping by LuLu’s to see if they have any cool old phones (that aren’t a fortune) for our office. We just want one to display as our office still has the original wooden built-in from the 1920′s for a phone
• Heading out to Anthropologie and a few other places to shop for upcoming birthday presents
• Visiting our local Benjamin Moore store at least once to pick up primer, paint and all the necessary equipment to finally start painting our basement guest bedroom! Mike has been working on re-texturing the walls for a few weeks and they look beautiful
• Enjoying cocktails with our dear friends who are visiting from San Diego to plan their Colorado wedding. It feels like a Forest Room 5 kind of evening

What is going to make your Saturday and Sunday lovely this weekend?
