Weekend Update

Weekend Update!

My weekend started out Friday night when My Man brought home Jimmy Johns for dinner. We usually stay in on Friday since we are all kinds tired from the week. We eat at home, have some wine and watch TV. I had intended to go to bed early since I had worked out with my trainer and took a yoga class but ended up reading to almost midnight! Damn books!

Saturday I took The Boy to guitar and then we hit Whole Foods. We decided to make Tuna Steaks, grilled Bok Choy, scallops and wasabi mashed potatoes for dinner that night. After we got home, I went into throw away mode. I cleaned out the pantry (found rice that went bad in 2011), the two places we store medicine (found more stuff that expired in 2011), cleaned out the utensil drawer, got rid of The Boys baby glasses and plates, went through my closet and got ride of old workout clothes and winter items I haven’t worn in two years. I am hopping to work on my bathroom cabinets sometime this week. It feels so good to get ride of stuff that is just cluttering up my house. I really home this “feeling” stays around. We have so much crap we need to send to the trash.

Saturday night we cooked, listened to jazz and drank some wine. After dinner, My Man and I watched Sky Fall. I must say, that Daniel Craig sure is pretty!!

Sunday was more cleaning, a friend’s birthday party at the park and dinner out with my boys. As always, I wish weekends were at least three days.

Today was busy. Along with work, I was busy on the phone making Vet appointments, calling the tree people to see if they could come out this week, calling the pool people and the bank. My Man and I have decided to take out a home equity line of credit and use the money to fix and re-finish our pool. We have chosen pebble tec for the surface.

We are going to go with a dark gray color. After we take care of the pool, we also want to fix our side yard and replace some bushes that have died. Then there is the outside lights, the front door, carpet….the list goes on and on. Good thing we are not planning on moving anytime soon. We will need all the time we can get to get everything done and paid for!

Question: What do you need to throw out?

  1. Been working on my food cabinets, slowly but surely…and I need to weed out the stuff in my linen closet and a couple of drawers in my dresser…I am not in awful shape because ever since the Hoarder’s tv program came out, I have been cleaning closets every 6 months…now…if only I could figure out how to keep my kitchen counter clean…

  2. Things that I have found in the attic that are not mine. I definitely need to clean out my closet and the guess room closet where we store stuff. I think that best thing would be to bring my children over so they could go through there stuff in attic. Hint Hint
