I love when the season of pumpkin everything and fall colors rolls around even though the weather takes a while to get the memo in Florida. This weekend was actually quite low key with no major happenings since I was recovering from a nagging cold and didn't have a ton of energy.
Last week was a mad rush preparing for a seminar we hosted on Thursday and Friday so by the time 5 o'clock on Friday hit, I was exhausted and ready to relax. All the hard work paid off as we got really great feedback from our attendees and speakers!
My newest pumpkin candle burned throughout the house over the weekend. This is one of Bath & Body Works newer scents so I wanted to try it. While I love the scent of berries, it doesn't blend perfectly well with Pumpkin so it's not my favorite but it's not terrible either.

Most of Saturday was spent cleaning around the house and doing laundry before some of K's friends came over to hang out. We grilled up some Bratwurst hotdogs for lunch and they watched football while I tried to get some blogging done.
On Saturday night we had Magical Dining reservations with some friends but unfortunately had to cancel because I still wasn't feeling too great. I'm not sure if other cities run this type of special but every year Orlando has magical dining month where several popular restaurants offer prix fixe dinners (usually 3-6 course meals) for $33/person. Unfortunately this was the last weekend to take advantage of the special so I'll just have to wait until next year.
On Sunday morning, we relaxed at home and K put on Saturday Night Live's skit of the Presidential Debate which is absolutely hilarious.
I got to catch up with a couple friends from back home over the phone and then ventured out of the house for the first time to do some shopping and a grocery store run. The rest of Sunday was spent blogging, food prepping and more laundry! So not the most exciting weekend but I welcomed all the relaxing before some busier weekends ahead with travel plans and my SIL's wedding.

Bummer that you missed the restaurant special (they just call it Restaurant Week here)--I hope you're feeling better after some rest!
ReplyDeleteAww, I do hope you re feeling much better!! I wish I lived close, I'd make you chicken soup and do you errands for you! SNL skit...hilarious!!! Thinking at this point I'd rather have one of the comedians be President, lol. Low Key is fantastic and I'm glad you got some rest. Happy Week ahead gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you weren't feeling well and hope it's gone now!! I think you deserved a laid back weekend with the event you helped pull off!! Enjoy your Monday girl! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

I hope you're feeling better girl!! A relaxing weekend at home sounds like it was just perfect for you though, even though you missed the magical dinner...there's always next year! The SNL skit was hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! SO sorry to hear you were so under the weather this weekend girl! Hope you're feeling better now and that the week goes by quickly for you. I only did Magical Dining once this time but I definitely plan on taking advantage more next year! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better! Sounds like a lot of rest was had this weekend! I love low key relaxing weekends. So sad you missed the restaurant thing, we have that on Long Island NY!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to check out some of the magical dining around here, such a great deal! Sending lots and lots of *hugs* that you feel better going into the new week <3

Sorry to hear that you were not feeling well. That stinks you had to cancel your reservation. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHurrah for a successful work event to end last week!
ReplyDeleteRest up!
Sounds like you got some stuff done this weekend. Chris and I watched that skit this weekend too and I was like oh man, this is ridiculously close to the truth. I dont know how anyone can chose either candidate to be honest. Woof. I hope you are feeling better! That stinks you missed out on that food deal. We have a restaurant week that has set menus and pricing, so I guess that is similar? Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAw hope you are feeling better. Everyone seems to have a touch of it these days, the worst! Sorry you missed the dinner but sounds like you got a lot done! The debate skit was hysterical! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you're feeling better. I'm sorry you had to miss out on your reservations. Magical Dining Month sounds awesome. I tried looking one up for Dallas/Fort Worth but all that came up was either Orlando or restaurant week. Sounds like a really fun opportunity to try places though!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you weren't feeling well! Hope you are doing better today! :) I was wondering about that candle scent. Bummer the mixture doesn't quite work!
ReplyDeleteI have been loving low key weekends after the hectic summer too! It's nice to chill, watch movies, do stuff around the house and get ready for the week ahead.
ReplyDeleteYeah, berry + pumpkin sounds a bit weird. I like the "campfire marshmallow" scent.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better now. You're right, that SNL skit was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThat candle looks amazing! I just bought the pumpkin woods and pumpkin french toast ones and oh my, they are wonderful! I love this time of year too with all things fall :)
ReplyDeleteThe SNL skit was hilarious! My husband made me watch it as soon as I got home on Sunday, lol. Sad you missed restaurant week... I always want to take advantage of that but always miss it too. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that we didn't get a chance to meet up while I was in Orlando, but you'd better believe that I'll be back and hopefully it'll be better planned so we can meet up! It sounds like you had a nice and relaxing weekend, and I love when restaurants have great deals on dining out at nice restaurants. Houston does something similar, and Chris and I love trying out all sorts of new restaurants that way!
ReplyDeletehmmm i love berries but er.. berry and pumpkin? odd.
ReplyDeletebummer you missed the restaurant thing, that sounds like a good deal. hope you are feeling better now.
Ugh that dang cold is going around. I've had it for two weeks. It just sucks the energy out of you. I hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteWe have the same thing in LA with the great restaurants offering prix fixe meals at three price points called Dine LA. I love going to those!
I definitely need to look up the SNL skit of the debate. I can only imagine how good it is!
