...once again had a 1 day weekend and got a whole lot accomplished!!!
...picked 3 of the 6 fabrics that my Grandma will need to make a quilt for Baby Boy W. I spent a ridiculous amount of time @ JoAnn's...but was happy to at least pick out some fabric that will be incorporated into his nursery.
...on Sunday...I braved the snow storm for a bit to get to the gym and grocery store. After I got home, I got right to work on checking things off my list.
...painted the dresser that we will be using in the nursery. It is a dresser that I had growing up. My dad made each one of us a dresser when we were kids. I decided to paint it and do something fun with it! You wont' be able to see it until I am finished...but for now, the whole dresser is painted. I also found inside the date my dad finished making it. It was really neat since I was on the phone with him when I found the date. It is kind of crazy that it's 29 years to (almost) the day. I plan to add to it...the date I transformed it.
...also painted a few other items that will be going on the wall in the nursery! Once again, you will have to wait to see until I am finished :)
...painted the trim in our bathroom...finally! I add blogged about remodeling bathroom#1 awhile back and mentioned that we were 90% finished. Well, I finished one more item. We will need to paint the trim around the doors once we get white doors to replace the golden oak.
The top photo is 'before' photo. Only primed and you can see the nail holes. The bottom photo shows the trim done being painted. As you can see...some of the paint came off the wall when I removed the tape. Not cool...but no big deal. Will need to do a touch up soon!
...made all the dinners for the week. I found a 'system' during this tax season that has been working. I make all the dinners for the week on Sunday. Since I work late every night...I like to have something to bring to work and something in the fridge for Tate to warm up. I usually make a big batch of one thing (lasagna last week, pot roast with carrots & potatoes this week) and then a few other items for the rest of the nights. The big batch item is usually for at least 2 nights of that week.

My big batch of pot roast & veggies...that I will NOT be eating! I don't eat that kind of meat and certainly don't eat cooked veggies! Tate is very excited to have this a few nights this week.
...ended it on the couch with Tate & I watching the Grammy Awards. Relaxing before another long week ahead...but ready to take it on. 3 weeks down, 9 to go of tax season!
I can't wait to see the finished products for the nursery. I am amazed at what you accomplish on your ONE day off during the week. So impressed.
ReplyDeleteI had two days to get stuff done, and I still don't feel like I did everything on the list.
ReplyDeleteThose veggies look nummy! We're trying meal planning for the week, this week. I hope it goes well for us, like it does for you.
Can't wait to see what you're working on! I can't believe how much you got done in one day! Way to go lady, very impressive!
