it's back to work tomorrow...

Soooo sad! Not really, but it has been nice being on a "no schedule 9 day vacation".  I accomplished almost everything on "my home" and "myself" lists.  The 6 remaining tasks are:

1. sort through spring/summer clothes and get rid of pieces that look worn.
2. organize the basement storage area.
3. stain our deck.
4. get into a new workout routine (This begins tomorrow!).
5. get a facial.
6. buy some new makeup at Mario's.

Adding to the list is:

1. buying and putting up new blinds with the help of Chris and Sarah who will be heading the job.
2. painting the family room ceiling and trim and walls. Thunder gray is the color of choice as I want all the main living areas the same color again.  It makes our home look large and it will just have a nice flow.
3. purging in the garage as there is so much sports equipment and shoes that have not been touched in months/years and paint cans and pictures and stuff.  It's organized but it needs to be cleared out.

Our home looks wonderful and fresh and just new.  It is both warm and comfortable and somewhat elegant and it feels good to be in any of our rooms.  It's a great feeling to have accomplished so much this year.  Yeah for us.
