my to do list...

t.g.i.f...

now that i'm working two jobs, i haven't had anytime to do anything around the apt. its driving me crazy. i don't like to be this unorganized and "dirty." so, with joe gone and the girls not coming down this weekend, i have come up with a list of things that HAVE to be done before we move...

tonight i'm going to take it easy and do some planting and a little light drinking (we have the asthma walk tomorrow. be nice. donate. ) a nice frosty beverage is a must after this week. i want to take advantage of the sun light that we have now bc apparently the new apt doesn't get that much sun. lavender, silver dollars, basil, dill and sunflower seeds just to name a few~~

my first diy project is building a 3'h x 5'w x 15"d planter. i want to create a "front porch" on our patio to give us some privacy and spruce it up a bit. so next weekend me and the f-i-l to be will have some bonding time while we cut wood, hammer, you know fun stuff. this is going to bring me back the MU days. man i miss the wood shop...

my mantra. or what i at least try to do...

Getting started...

only 4 more weeks until we make the big move across henry ave to our new apt. the thought of packing is slowly giving me an anxiety attack (who really actually likes to pack/unpack anyway?) but the thought of starting on a clean, or somewhat clean slate takes the edge off just a bit! i have so many ideas of what i want to do in the new space... too many in fact. how to arrange the furniture? do we buy new furniture? should i paint some walls? where do i put joe during all of this (my ever so loving fiance who will most likely go into hiding during the unpacking phase) i tend to get a bit crazy when it comes to moving, poor guy! our last move, i wanted to get everything done in the first week. so unrealistic. so this time im going to focus on one room at a time. starting with the living/dinning room.
