This Weekend I...

 

Was so productive...even if it did involve me repeating something 3 times (more on that later)!

 

Tate was out of town coaching wrestling at a tournament so I was solo on the social scene and solo on the 'get shit done' scene!!!!

 

On Friday I went out to eat @ Crave for a friends birthday and then hit up Toby Keith's bar to celebrate. I only stayed until 10 pm...but I loved seeing all my girls and hanging with Molly again who was home for Christmas from CA.

 

Some of the SCSU girls - Elissa & I...she just announced on Christmas that her and her husband are expecting also...very exciting!!!

 

On Saturday I woke up with major plans to get stuff done. I had a bunch of errands to do so I left the house at 9 to hit up the gym, then ran my errands right after and was home by noon! I'm one of those people that doesn't 'take my time' when it comes to shopping, I usually know what I need or have to look @ and am out of there!

 

I made myself lunch (mac & cheese) and then got to work on painting the nursery. I hate how long it takes to prep for painting...but it took about 1.5 hours to remove outlet covers and tape off the trim. Here is what the painted walls looked like before as our guest bedroom...

 

We decided to paint the nursery a light gray color since gray will be incorporated in the color scheme for a boy or girl. We really liked the gray color we painted the upstairs bathroom when we remodeled so we just decided to used that color.

 

When I was 95% finished painting, I realized I used the WRONG gray paint color...I used the one that we used on the downstairs bathroom remodel and the room looked blue...not gray! I was not happy of course...but instead of getting mad, I just decided that I 'primed' the walls. It had taken me 2.5 hours to paint the wrong primer on. I was hoping to get the 2 coats of the right color on that night and be done with it...but clearly my brain had other plans and I painted the correct color for the next 2.5 hours and was done and in bed by 10:15.

 

I woke up at 6:15 ready to paint...well I did decide to eat first and was painting by 7 and then ran out of paint.  I decided to get ready for church and run to the store before to pick up a quart of paint to finish the job.

 

Since I had already spent 7 hours painting, when I got home I decided to clean the fridge because that was on my to-do list also. It's the best feeling have a clean and organized fridge...I just love it!!!

 

After that, I finished painting the nursery during commercials of the VIKINGS WIN!!!

 

Here is are the nice pretty walls of Baby W's nursery...

I love it!!! I can't wait until it's decorated and then occupied with our little one!!!

 

After that, I made these enchilada's for dinner! As they were cooking, I decided to prep the dresser to be primed that is going to go into the nursery. Tate needs to prime it because our primer is oil based and that is a big no-no for pregnant woman so he gets to do that in one.

 

This is the dresser. My dad made a dresser for all of us kids when we were little and this was mine growing up (well I actually think this is my sister's because of the 'flaw' on the top drawer...but since I will painting it anyway, I won't complain).

 

The bottom three draws are pretty deep and are good for storage in the early years as I don't think we will fill everything up with clothes as we have a good size closet too. I am excited to share what I do with this dresser once I finish it!!!

 

That puts me here right now...typing this post, dishing soaking in the sink for me to wash and Tate and I about to double team the bed sheets so we can sleep in nice fresh sheets tonight!

 

It's these weekends I love...where I am home to get stuff done. I hung out with friend and was very productive. I did miss my husband, but he is here now, sitting next to me watching football and relaxing!

 

I hope you all had a GREAT last weekend of 2012!!! Bring on the New Year...I am ready!!!
