Been busy this weekend...
In some ways I feel like I've sat on my butt all weekend, in others we've done a lot.
1. Spare bedroom. See the pics. It's changed around. It irked me that Trev's so untidy in his "office" and that every time I walked down the hall I had to witness it. I'm a tidy desk, tidy mind kind of person. He's not. Not that I want him to change, I just didn't want to see it all the time. So we moved the bed nearer the door and put the desk in the far corner. It looks so much nicer, and we even managed to get a chair in the room. All I have to do now is hang pictures and it'll look like home. Yeah!

2. Exercise. Even though Billy canceled through the weekend i've managed 30 mins cardio, 60 min pilates class and a 60 min yoga class.
3. Moved the closets around. We have a closet problem in our apartment. The master closet is 3 ft wide.....at least it's 6 ft in the spare room. Now, given we're used to having 8 x 6 ft rooms as closets it's come with great difficulty to squish down. Any way, rather than try and share 3 ft, we've actually decided I get that closet, and Trev gets half the spare room. That's worked out really well.
4. I did not eat out once this weekend. Admittedly we did order an Indian last night and have it delivered, but I never sat food outside unless it was for the gym. What a saddo.
5. Tax. Sorted out papers so that I can find all our tax stuff. Yeah well, what can I say? We're late. Very very late. We have tax for 3 states, have sold 2 houses, bought another, moved across the country. We should be due a rebate.
6. Tidied up for Lara. Oh my, trying to explain to a husband there is a difference between tidying up and cleaning. Why is it so hard to see the difference. I'm not mad, I just don't my $100 to go towards putting my crap away. And quite honestly, I don't want Lara in my belongings. She is fabulous though - so I'm really looking forward to her coming on Tuesday.
7. Furniture. Decided what additional furniture we need...so here goes: wall cabinet for master bathroom, small standalone cabinet for floor and some shelves, shelving/book case for 18x16 inch wide spot in master closet that's wasted space, low set of drawers for bottom of master closet, small wall cabinet for laundry room, bookcases/cabinets for living room, some nice arty pictures for living room to compliment all the photographs, small cabinet for other bathroom.
8. Atlantic City in April. Jenny and Frankie are coming over to visit at the end of April. They're starting off in Atlantic City (think an East Coast Las Vegas), then they're coming to New York, then they're going up to Boston. We're going to head down and bring them back to ours - that's a nice Wednesday off on vacation in the middle of the week. Lovely.
9. Jamaica. Still no nearer getting the kids flights booked. I've tried calling/emailing/texting Carrieanne and while we've exchanged a text I'm not sure she'll be able to make it. I hope she does because I can get a flight direct from Cedar Rapids right now for only $100 more than Chicago. that's awesome so she could travel locally. I'm going ahead to book Rach's flight our of Chicago. Peter we'll have to wait - I'm trying to decide if I'm OK spending $500 for it to be possibly canceled. He's got a chance of getting into a 4 week class in July so it's touch and go. We'll have to wait and see. Still, I'm very excited!
Busy, wasn't it? Phew. I'm almost glad to be back to work for a rest. NOT!
