holy cow. so today was my "day off". it's funny how most the time i am more exhausted from my "day's off" than i am when i work! any who... so today started off pretty wonderful. i woke up wayyyy later than normal, (8:30ish) to the sound of the garbage man... realizing that I totally forgot to put our garbage out I just stayed in bed (as i only had the g's on) and laughed as i thought of the now rotting potatoes in the bottom of the now really smelly garbage can thing. as i heard them drive passed i realized it was way passed the time to wake up and start my day. so i put on some work clothes and headed outside. since it's been so nice and cool in the mornings i decided it was the perfect time to mow the lawn. after the lawn was mowed i decided it was high time for me to finish part of our landscaping that has really needed some attention. thus, drove to hometown hardware picked up the decorative bark and finished that task. kris came out to grab some stuff and we talked for a bit and then he took off. soon after i realized how messy our garage was. i hate messy garages.... pet peeve. so i then started cleaning the garage. i have many projects that i have been working on, furniture, gifts, organizing, decorating, etc... you name it i'm working on it. anyway. so one of my projects was this awesome dresser that brady and jen found at a yard sale and then no longer wanted. so i took it off their hands and refinished the sucker. it. is. beautiful. to say the very least! i decided it was time to take it inside, alone. i'm an idiot. but that doesn't matter. any who so i took the drawers out and then lifted the baby up our garage stairs, into our laundry room, passed our kitchen, journeyed around our living room, passed the hall and finally made it into our master bedroom. after that i decided that i needed to drill the holes for the drawers to put the knob thing on. even though its not really a knob any way you'll see the picture..... well just as i was about to try and drill some holes that i'm sure were not lined up and i had no idea what i was doing my wonderful hubby came home and rescued me. so that project is DONE! hallelujah. after that made the hubby and i some good eats and he went on his way. i then resumed the task of cleaning the garage. i was then attacked by a black widow that had decided to make its resting place in the push broom that i was using. did i freak out? yes. for a minute, then i realized how much bigger i am that it was. thus, ending its venomous life. moving on. i then found our really awesome rocking chair that has been in my family ever since i can remember sitting in the corner. (one of my many projects) I decided that it was high time for that sucker to be checked off of my massive list and i finished that. i then decided that it was getting far too hot outside and i completed all that i could in the garage and headed indoors. where i then began to clean the eff out of our home. its never really dirty to begin with but there is always organizing or deep cleaning that needs to be done. i scoured the bathrooms, organized "my" room (guest bedroom with a bunch of my clothes in it) prepared a D.I bag and got rid of tons of stuff, worked on laundry, dusted, vacuumed, organized, organized, organized. wrote out bills, and re-arranged our room a bit. by this time it was 4:00 and i was sweaty, smelly and so done for the day. hopped in the shower and have been sitting on the couch since. just to have my wonderful husband that i love oh so much tell me that we need to go haul hay... now he said that he would do it solely by himself... ya right, like i'm going to let him do that. if you have every hauled hay you know that it is hell on earth. so anyway. any one else's day of consist of this? hahahaha. now, i'm not complaining, i love life and i love that i am capable to do all these things and have the means to do so. however, i would love to enjoy a day to myself. that'll be all... here are some awesome pictures of my projects.
before.... well i had started painting it a little but still.
after, you can't really tell, but i painted it antique white and antiqued it with brown shoe polish. it looks awesome.
and this was the rocking chair. picture doesn't do it justice...
