Ok we have SOME progress....

It's all about baby steps. This weekend promises to be very fulfilling, provided I can stay motivated! I was so anxious to get out of work and get started that I organized a closet at work for most of the afternoon! I have my moments.

So today I stopped by Ace Hardware and picked up my spray paint primer and paint. I also got an AMAZING tool that everyone should own. It was only $3.75 and is completely reusable. It's an attachment that goes on the spray can so you can spray it like pulling the trigger on a gun rather than pushing that little button until your fingers go numb.

I started with the footboard and got it totally primed and mostly painted! I am hoping to have the whole bed finished by tomorrow and put together Sunday! For now, here is the progress, it looks better already:


I also made dinner tonight and it was delicious! We had baked chicken with potatoes and veggies....yum...

The list for this weekend is to organize the spare room and clear out some of the 'outbox' clutter, divide my overflowing toolbox into 2, finish the bed, and finish a project in the office. What are you doing this weekend?

Raleigh Easter was a Success!

Hey everyone! Man it has been a CRAZY week! I don't even know where to start. But the Easter weekend was busy and full of fun! I didn't get to many of my home projects, but I am hoping this week will allow me some time for that. Saturday, I volunteered at Raleigh Easter in downtown and it was a lot of fun! We had 4000 eggs and they were GONE in less than 30 seconds. It was crazy. Next year they are saying they will have at least 10, 000. I mean that is crazy! Here are a few pictures of the fun:

Martha, Me and Jane!

Balloons!

Soooo many people!

Crazy fun!

I have more pictures on my flickr page so check em out! In other news, Sunday we were in the band for all 3 services so we were at the church for quite a while. In the afternoon we came home and made an awesome lunch of Falafel, Pita/hummus, fresh veggies and couscous! Then we had warm chocolate chips cookies for dessert! It was great! We also watched Blades of Glory again and laughed and laughed. It was a really nice day.

This week we are dog sitting for Jerry's sister so we have and extra dog in the house (and bed)...I think we got the sleeping situation figured out last night finally, but who knew a king size bed could feel so small!!??

Finally, the biggest news of the week. Jerry's van was stolen right out of our driveway! While we slept! Talk about creepy! They found it, but the engine is damaged and it isn't drivable so we are waiting on insurance stuff to figure out what happens next. It's weird because I have a strange calm about the whole situation. I just know it will work out and we just have to see it through. In the meantime, Jerry will be able to use his sister's car since she is out of town, so we won't even need a rental, which is nice. So we'll see what happens next. I can't believe it's only Wednesday!

Have a great week :-)
