House projects
I mentioned a LONG time ago that I was working on painting my living room wall of paneling. It is nearly completed. I still need to paint the trim. Other than that, it is well on its way. I didn't take a finished photograph before I started putting everything back on my bookshelves. I was WAY too anxious about being finished. I will give you all the photographs on another blog. The project was super easy. It was just dedicating the time to get it done. I've rearranged my furniture also. This way it focuses on my newly painted wall!
I've also been planting some flowers and greenery around the house. Trying to spruce it up. I absolutely hate weeding flower beds. I've procrastinated long enough on these tasks. I guess I'll get cracking on that later tonight.
Couple weekends with the beau.
I spent a few weekends with Seth and his family. I enjoy it because not only do I get to spend quality time with Seth but it is also so calm and peaceful. When I stay at home, there is always a list of things to do, people to see, places to go. There is no agenda at Seth's. Just peace and quiet.
And well goofiness :)
Camping trip with the Youth Group
The kids headed out Thursday to stay at Beech Fork. I unfortunately had to work so I didn't make it out there until Friday evening. I'll tell on myself. I totally drove out to Wayne to only find out that I had to drive back into town and go down Rt. 10 to get to the camping portion of the lake. Thankfully there was a State Trooper there to guide me back. I was only there for a night but it was wonderful. I'm almost always at peace in nature. The kids were great. A little slow in the morning but great. We wanted to go play on the lake but nature decided that it wanted to rain... So we called it a day.
Shoop's 4th Annual White Party
Some of my girlfriends and I hit up Shoop's for Shoop's White Party. Yes I just did that. He jokes that he has a bar just for the party. I doubt that. Regardless, I had a wonderful time. I'm always game for dressing up! I purchased the dress on the Internet for relatively cheap. I found the shoes at Macys on clearance. On another trip, I found the jewelry on clearance as well. I used a gold Coach clutch (which I also got on massive discount!) that I've had for a while.
I also had some great conversations with friends. I don't get out much anymore so it was nice to catch up with old friends and meet a few new people. Of course, I hit up the dance floor for a while. I'm a bit out of practice though so my feet and legs were hurting! I finally called it a night around 1am and left the girls to keep the party going. ;) And surprisingly I didn't take a ton of pictures like I normally would. I only took a few and here is what I think is the best one of me. Plus you can see part of the dress and jewelry!
So many more things have been going on but these are the main events. I've been crazy busy at work trying to finish a report. As always, I've been doing the normal household chores - dishes, laundry, cleaning, etc.
Life is a crazy adventure. It's nice to know you can take a few moments to sit back and enjoy it all.
