I’m sure you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to since Saturday. You haven’t? Then let me tell you!
On the home improvement front:
- I changed the plastic strip thingy on the bottom of our shower door so the water would stop leaking out onto the floor. I did it all by myself! I was a little frantic that my hubs would get home while I was in the middle of the project and say something to the extent of, “What in GOD’S name are you DOING?!?!” But he didn’t. And I don’t even think I told him that I didn’t it. I’m that smug and secretive about my projects. Or he just doesn’t really care. lol!
- I also splurged and spent a whopping $5.74 and changed out the toilet seat in my kid’s bathroom. Come to think of it, the hubs was aware I was doing something, but he didn’t come and investigate. I think he pretends to not notice so he doesn’t get roped into my projects. Smart guy!
- I have in my hot little hands the paint for the writer’s desk that I’m refinishing. Finally, after a long drawn out week of not finding the exact paint/brand even at a store 180 miles away….I just decided to quit trying to be perfect about it and made my purchase at the good ole’ Depot of Home things.
The before…kinda nasty eh?
- I used florescent spray paint, in PINK, to paint a lamp. It’s very PINK and awesome!
- I really don’t know what has gotten into me. I think it’s September and school starting. It’s a fresh start for all of us. One more has left the nest, all the kiddos now have their own room, and I’m taking charge and making sure the toilets are clean. Wheeee!
Switching gears and just a few more things of random interest to absolutely no one, I’m sure:
- Saturday was date night. Awesome sushi rolls. We go to the place in the town where the Sushi is made by honest to goodness Japanese sushi chef. They would probably not be impressed with my ninja cake.
- We also saw the movie “Lawless”. I really enjoyed it. There’s not much to not enjoy about Tom Hardy though.
- My Oogieloves glowstick for just in case you got scared during the previews…which I did…”Sinister” ?? Oh HECK no! Yup, they were giving them away for free. Want a free glowstick? “No!”, said no one. Ever. ha!
- And lastly, I will share with you one of my current obsessions…the margarita lime cupcake from Crave….the most dangerous little cupcake store a few doors down from where I work. I’ve limited myself to one a week. I think I might need to cut down to just one a month…how about two a month? That sounds better. These things are the best! They make me soooo so happy. Don’t tell anyone that I hide it under my desk and sneak bites when no one is around. And really don’t tell anyone that the plate and fork from last Friday’s cupcake is still under my desk. I’m as bad has my kids.
I’m constantly thrilled at my picture taking skills!
I am envious of your cuppycake. I was craving a PB & Chocolate one from a store about 15 miles from be but fell prey to a uber choc & white choc killer cookie and it's lottle brother instead! Great job on the sneaky house projects! Must feel good to get the little stuff done!!!
ReplyDelete15 miles away seems like it would be a lot safer than a couple doors down. And yeah, it feels great to be getting some stuff done, thanks!
Deletei am so happy you are blogging again. you sound so happy. can you move your home improvement projects a little farther north to canada? i have so much i want to do but i am not pulling the trigger or am i just on pinterest too much wasting time? i am currently on the hunt for an old dresser to paint for our bedroom. i kinda want new curtains and want to paint our familyroom/kitchen area soon. that cupcake looks devine.
ReplyDeleteYes much happier and thanks for noticing. :) I was feeling that way too about just pinning stuff on there and not actually getting anything done. Though, it took me awhile to figure out what I really wanted to do to the desk, but once I stumbled on it, it was all systems go.
DeleteHow about we meet in the middle? Plus, uh, my passport expired. Boo hoo.
