Any relaxation gained from our 4-day weekend last week was gone by 8AM on Monday morning. Work was totally crazy this week. One big project after another. With two of my managers out, I got their work too and it was not the week to get extra work. Thought today might be slow but after another 8AM conference call another two huge projects were thrust on me. I thank god for our great support help. Without Maria and Tim I might as well keel over and die.
You might wonder why at 10PM at night I am still on the computer since work was so busy, well, it is because I am entering my address book/contacts on our brand new computer. Brian and I's early Christmas gift to each other. The screen I am currently looking at is giganto and the keyboard is nice and slick with square keys. I can't wait to surf around and see what other cool things this computer has to offer.
Today, I said good-bye to my "swingers" reference aka the chevy cavalier. I donated it to a children's charity called Kars for Kids. Now we are down to two cars again. Still lovin' my Jeep. It's nice to sit high in a vehicle again.
This week I worked on some curtains for our den and dining room. With a roll of tape I was able to see what curtains would look like in the dining room. I found out they looked pretty good so now that I have a handy dandy sewing machine my next house plan is to look for some fabric to make curtains. I had already bought curtains for the den from Ikea but they need to be altered a bit and hemmed. We also need to look into how much central air/heat would be. Since it is getting cold I imagine they are having sales on air conditioning. I hope anyway. I have also been itching to paint the kitchen. I know what colors I want to paint it but there are some old lingering items I would like to fix before tackling that project so I guess we will see on that one. Oh yeah, and I want to rearrange our bedroom. Sush don't tell Brian cuz he thinks its fine but I want to see how the bed would like positioned another way. That room needs some finishing touches. Pictures and other little things like curtains!!
This week and weekend has been dedicated to errands. But the thing on my to-do list I really need to get done is finding a Christmas tree! I hope we can find one. Brian just informed me he took another shift this weekend so I don't want to go out without him. I suppose I should get to Christmas shopping and holiday cards too. Next week is full of vendor parties and the big studio party. I hope all my big projects go away so I can go to them! They should be fun but my main squeeze can't go so that is a bummer.
Well, off to do other stuff around the house. Write to ah all later.
