I Enjoy Mondays The Most

I know a lot of people don't like Mondays, but I've started to really love them! For most of last year I hated them because I had a Monday - Friday office job, and the year before that I studied. So its really nice to have Mondays as the day I enjoy the most. I would usually sleep in, but today I had to run an errand for work which got me out of bed early for the day. I picked up morning lattes and when I got home Luke was making eggs for breakfast. We never usually get to see each other for meals, particularly breakfast because we work different times so it was especially nice this morning. I drove Luke to work and came home and tidied our flat and washed a ridiculous amount of clothes. It has been raining on and off here for almost two weeks and our washing was starting to grow legs. I listened to records today for the first time in ages and broke my National record in for the first time! I also worked on a paint chip frame for a friend, and organised my Twinnings tea collection. I like to buy their ten tea bag sample sizes, and they recently had a collectors tin available so I bought that to store all of their different teas in it. I now have so much more room in my tea cupboard for new tea! 
After I finished doing my morning jobs I went to the shops to get some more shirts to wear to work, and some stockings and a new black long sleeved dress that I've been eyeing off for a few weeks. When I got home Luke was on his work break so we had lunch together, and then I dropped him back to work and paid a quick visit to my parents. After I got home I started a custom illustration that I've been really excited to start, and I'm really excited to share it in a couple of days! Luke finished work early and he made dinner while I danced around him singing songs. And to finish my Monday, we watched How I Met Your Mother with cups of tea. I didn't quite cross everything off my to-do list, so I'll have to get onto that this Friday!

  1. To-do lists don't really matter when you're having breakfast and lunch together, singing and dancing around him while he makes dinner. :) Your day sounds absolutely lovely and ideal. That's what really matters! :D

    1. I pressure myself so much on my days off, I always make these ambitious lists and next allow myself time to just sit and do nothing. Luke always tells me before he leaves for work on my days off to do nothing!

  2. i used to have sundays and mondays off and i loved that arrangement. i could hang out with my family and besties on sundays, and run all errands on Monday without fighting the weekend crowd. It was perfect! Now i'm back to a M-F 8-5 again. :(

  3. Ooooh all those pretty colors! And that BEAUTIFUL orange carrot nose of yours : ) What's your favorite tea? And that Luke of yours...he cooked for you all day today! What a great guy.

    I also don't mind Mondays....as a freelancer all of my days run into each other! Plus Monday just means you're one day closer to next weekend : ) Can't wait to see the new illustration that you're working on!
