A much needed update…
The weekend is almost over….and Monday will technically be here in 40 minutes (yuck!). What a great weekend it was though. I took Friday off from work (a freebie day off…since work has been insane lately). I invited my mom down for a couple of days…to shop, hang out, and work around the house a bit. Thursday night I cleaned like a mad woman…to make sure the house was ready for company. Friday morning I was up early, because mom was planning to get here around 8:00 or 8:30. She got here at 8:30 on the dot…and so began my wonderful weekend. We talked for a bit, and then we were off to shop at all of the local antique and craft shops. I got a few more Americana things for the kitchen…which is really looking good (or at least I think it is). Mom got a few new things for house too. (We’re both into shabby-chic antique things.) That night mom worked on making me some new cushions for my wicker set. The front porch is looking really nice these days too. I need to get my fall decorations out soon…and then the porch will really look nice. Saturday was basically a work day. Mom sewed the rest of the pillows and we all worked on the back entry. We painted and prepped for more painting. We painted the kitchen door with chalkboard paint…which looks really neat. However, we went to buy chalk at Wal-Mart today…and they didn’t have any. All we found were dry-erase markers…what ever happened to chalk boards?! Mom left late Saturday…and we watched the Brady Bunch Movie. (Yes…I realize it’s probably on the list of worst movies ever…but it’s still funny.) Today we went to church, ate BBQ for lunch…and got a few more painting supplies to finish up our weekend project. We painted all of the trim and one side of the back door. It doesn’t look fantastic yet…but it’s getting there. I’m just ready to finish it up and put some decorations back on the walls. Anywya…it’s late and I need to get some sleep. More updates later….adios!
