It’s been a very busy weekend, and I’m actually looking forward to getting back into the regular work week routine. Not because I love my job, but because I like routine.
Friday was fairly low key. I guess it felt busy because I had so many shows to watch on my DVR and those were just one other thing on my to do list to “check” off. Does anyone else get overwhelmed by a full DVR? We ate pizza leftovers and just hung out. That’s pretty much how we spend all of our weekend nights unless something is already planned. We’re watching our pennies and a $50 dinner seems a little silly right now. I completely enjoy spending every night at home– especially when it cools off and we have to bundle up inside using the dogs to warm our feet!
We got up early Saturday morning to take a long walk with Boudreaux, run some errands, then get ready to pre-tailgate, tailgate, and then go to the SC v. LSU game. A friend had lots of family and friends in town from South Louisiana and I enjoyed meeting another Louisiana Tech graduate. We had gumbo and andouille sausage dogs. So yummy. Beginning the tailgate fun at 2:30 for a game that begins at 8:00 p.m. makes for a long day. It was pretty chilly last night at around 55 degrees, so it truly felt like football weather. Todd and I were sitting right next to the LSU band and LSU fans at the game. Of course I was cheering for the Gamecocks, but it was pretty hard not to get wrapped up in all the fun the LSU fans were having.
The Gamecocks had the lead at the half and the score was 17 to 10. Then our Gamecocks didn’t score again in the second half and it all kind of fell apart, but I do feel like we out-played them. Have you ever lost a game, but still felt like you won at the end of the night? The final score was only 17-24 and LSU won, of course, but we played so much better than the Tigers for 80% of the game. It was really a lot of fun and those LSU fans never stopped having a good time. Singing, cheering, screaming. I love Louisiana people!
We made it home around 1:00 a.m. and got to bed around 2:00 a.m. My in-laws were so kind to take care of Boudreaux and Fiona for the day. Our house was divided on Saturday morning getting ready for the game. Todd and I were cheering for the Gamecocks. Fiona, our little South Louisiana native, was cheering for the Tigers. Boudreaux was generally confused and just wanted to play.
Sounds like you guys had a great weekend! Hope you have a great week to come!
I’m a routine kind of girl too so I hope you get back in the swing of things tomorrow morning!
I think everyone can relate to being on a budget right now, and I love cozy nights at home on the weekends.

YAY it sounds like you had a great weekend!!!
Welcome back – missed you! Sounds like a great weekend. We spend much more time at home too, and I’ve definitely become a homebody! Have a great week!
sounds like a lot of fun! 🙂 i don’t think we do tailgating in DC the way you all do in the south…i’m jealous!!
I can completely relate to getting overwhelmed by a full DVR!! We too are in budget-mode right now, but I’m perfectly content to spend our nights at home for the time being.
Also, I haven’t been to an SEC game in a while, but, I’d love to have a day of tailgating and a game to attend! Fun fun.
I do the same thing – when the DVR gets full I feel like I HAVE to catch up (and I’ll stay up half the night trying to do it). I don’t like leaving things half done!
It sounds like you had a really great weekend!!
It sounds like a great weekend! We do the same thing in the evening but we don’t have a dvr, we so want to get one! And I totally agree sometimes it feels like you won even though you lost! Glad your doing well, hope you have a great start back to the week tomorrow 🙂
South Carolina should have won! We had our very own tough loss to deal with yesterday…UNC lost in OT to Virginia, even though we outplayed them the entire game. It was tough to watch but even worse to see how hard Lee took the loss. Normally he doesn’t get too emotionally involved until basketball season but this year is different. I guess it’s because we’re actually winning this year 🙂
So glad you had a nice weekend and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who thrives on routine. I hope you have a fantastic week!!
Glad you had a great weekend 🙂
What a cute post! 🙂 Love the dog comments at the end 🙂 haha! I thought about you Saturday as I watched the USC/LSU game! we had friends over to watch the game and one of them in from SC and a big USC fan so we were pulling for them. I was sad they didn’t beat LSU!
Glad you had a great weekend girl. I am glad it’s finally football weather 🙂
Sounds like a fab weekend!!!
What a great weekend!
I too get stressed out when the % on the DVR goes up and they’re all my shows! But the great thing is you can get through them very quickly!!!
Oh, I can understand about the full DVR too! It seems like at this time of year, just when you think you’ve made progress and caught up – there’s a bunch more that pop up you need to watch!
It hadn’t hit me until reading this post that you were from Louisiana. My mother’s entire family is from there/still there. I have to tell you that andouille sausage dogs absolutely makes my mouth water right now!
Glad you had a fun weekend!
sounds like a great weekend! I love spending weekends at home and thats what i did all weekend too!
I know just what you’re talking about with the DVR. When it starts to get up to the 80% mark I start to have little mini panic attacks. My husband thinks I’m nuts!
Glad you’re back!! I am totally overwhelmed by my DVR right now!! I am so behind….and I have no idea when I’ll have time to catch up. Funny how technology can actually stress you out more huh?
i feel the same way about staying in these days!
sounds fun!
I love to tailgate but don’t get to do it as often as I’d like.
Glad you have a great weekend!
I hear ya on low-key Fridays and routine!
Ditto here! In addition to the economy we’ve got a wedding to plan! Staying home means controlling the cash and controlling the calories!
And yes, I get completely overwhelmed by a near full DVR!
You have been tagged! Read my blog 🙂
I tagged you 🙂
Girl I hear ya on the whole DVR thing! I think I have about 2 weeks worth of stuff to catch up on! Ugh! 🙂
I was pulling so hard for the gamecocks! so sad they lost! sorry I have been absent from blogland!
