Efficiency is intelligent laziness.
I had a pretty eventful weekend. My days are starting to blend, but if I remember correctly, I went to Michael's Arts and Crafts store on both Friday evening and Saturday morning. I went to two different locations and, luckily for me, the one closer to the house is a lot bigger and a lot better. For the most part, I got all of the scrap booking stuff that I wanted, but I'm basically at a stand still where that's concerned. I mean, I could get started on the new scrapbook, but I'd rather have Corey around to help me.
In between some loads of laundry, I did some yard work, which included pulling weeds and pruning the rose bushes. That was a rather large task that I'm still not finished with. Those bushes are a nightmare, thanks to the thorns, and I still have quite a few weeds to battle with that are living amongst the vines. My arms are all sorts of scratched up with battle wounds, but I'll win the war.
I also, finally, unpacked all of our books and arranged them numerous different ways on the book shelves in the office. I'm still not quite thrilled with how I put them on there, but I don't know if I have the patience to take them all off for the fifth time. Also in the office, I went through all of my stacks of paperwork and put everything I wanted to keep in the filing cabinet. I then spent about an hour shredding the stuff I didn't want and I probably almost burnt out the motor on the paper shredder.
I did a little organizing in the garage by breaking down some boxes and recycling anything that I could. The people who used to live here left quite a bit of cleaning supplies behind that they apparently never felt the need to use based on the conditions when we moved in. But, anyway, I arranged all of that stuff so that we knew where it was and what we actually had. I also threw out some less-desirables that were left behind on the back porch.
In the bathroom, I managed to clean all of the dis-colorization off of the walls and ceiling, which has been totally grossing me out since we moved in here. And, finally, I re-folded all of Corey's and my socks and t-shirts into sets so that they were easier to grab and go for work. Even after all of that I had time to make homemade apple dumplings and speak to Corey multiple times on the phone, along with my mom and my friends Christina and Brian. And, of course, I enjoyed the Jon & Kate plus 8 marathon on TLC that was on today.
Most importantly for this weekend though was that my newest nephew was born yesterday afternoon, still unnamed. Nicole and the baby are fine from what my mom tells me. And, in other good news, today is my six month anniversary with Corey. Like he said to me on the phone, it seems like we've been together a lot longer--in a good way. I really do wish I could be with him today of all days, but even though I can't be, I'm glad he's around other people that love him. I still love him the most though ;)
