W00t for the Three Day Weekend!

May 23rd, 2009

The weather here is still gorgeous, although the forecasters say that will not last long.  Nice quiet Saturday morning of coffee and potato & egg scramble.  We’ll leave to take the van in for servicing in a bit.

I plan to work more on the craft room today.  I found some brackets for the ribbon bar so I’ll put that up and maybe finish the wall.  I’ll try and get some pics up of that.  I’m also working on the other pages of this blog.  And I need to start on planning next year’s curricula for the kiddos.  Maybe a stop at the library would be a good idea for today.

No other big plans this weekend.  BBQ with friends tomorrow, weather permitting, and hopefully a trip to Michael’s on Monday (got a good coupon in the email).

I may work on some fanfiction this weekend as well.  A couple of plot bunnies for a NCIS/House crossover have been hopping around in my head.  I’ll likely do those over at the elljay, maybe tomorrow night after a few drinks. :)

I hope everyone’s weekend is lovely and fun!

April 13th, 2009

I’ve been hesitant to say it, but I might be done with my winter blahs/seasonal affective disorder/lack-of-sun-induced annual bout of depression (in which I, every year, contemplate meds or just running away from home).

I had a really good past week in which I:  volunteered, made friends and bought fabulous clothes at the Fat Girl Flea Market; hardly smoked; went out on a lovely date; kept my gynecology check-up; spring-cleaned my closet and rearranged the furniture in the living room.  And this was a week in which I was really sick (head cold) and on my moontime (which was also back to my “normal”).  So, yeah, that’s pretty good.

Anyway, in an effort to keep that momentum going, here’s a plan for the week.

Monday

Living room—-finish decluttering entryway bookcase, help kids go through books that don’t fit in this room, brainstorm about wall above couch, sweet and mop floor

LIGHT—-make phone calls and send emails to people who applied for membership, find out about Wed’s teen day (park if weather is good?)

mdc—-advertising for friend thread, check through boards

rtc—-amazon fuck up, sexblogging

order groceries

schooling—-assign work for week, start planning hanging timeline (supply list, location)

dinner:  soup and egg or chicken salad sandwiches

Tuesday

spring clean kitchen cabinets—take stock, clean shelves

dinner:  salad, spaghetti marinara, bread

Wednesday
