Nesting-ish

I keep saying I am going to post the wedding pictures on here. And then I think of more things that need to be done around the house. Critical things, you know, like getting our Disney photos from FALL 08 in an album. Or updating Bailey’s baby book. Or selling her old clothes online. (Okay, at least that one earns me more shopping money). Anyway. I am in that phase, where I find random paint spots that need to be touched up, or decided to empty and clean out the fridge WHILE making dinner. Or start thinking about selling our house altogether and call around to get a price or home insurance quote.

I’ll share a funny story though. It wasn’t funny then, but it’s pretty funny now. I was in a bad mood by the time Jonathon got home from work. They changed the hours of my favorite post office and so I didn’t get a package shipped out today. Because I used the ONE size flat rate box that doesn’t have online postage available. That got me all set off and I stomped upstairs to start dinner. Jonathon said something about how I’m doing some things but not working up to my potential. Um, I’m sorry, I’m busy growing a human right now.

Then he made a comment about how he was tired of this (giant) stack of stuff all over the countertop. So I threw the entire stack across the kitchen floor at just the right angle so that it would scatter everywhere. And I looked him in the eye and said, “There. Now it’s not on the countertop.”

I love pregnancy hormones. And I was NOT the one who cleaned up the mess. You know, because I am busy living life below my full potential, so I just let other people do those kind of things.

Tackle It Tuesday- My Office

Filed Under Tackle It Tuesday | 4 Comments

Tackle It Tuesday. I think it’s a great idea. The point is that you tackle a housework-type project and then blog about it. Maybe if I know I need something like that to blog about every Tuesday, I’ll get more done

My big project this past week was my office. Also known as “the room where everything gets thrown when we don’t know where to put it or need to clean up fast.” It used to have a daybed in it but we just sold it, since we never really use it. Plus, if there isn’t anywhere for the in-laws to sleep, maybe they won’t visit as often! I wanted to put a table and some shelves in so that I would have somewhere to work on crafty things or sort Avon orders. Here is my before picture:

And I know I still have some work to do, but it’s come a long way. The shelves are from Best Buy and we got the table at Sam’s. Here’s the after picture:
