Beautiful Days And Good Moods

Happy Monday everyone.  I know Monday normally isn’t much of a happy day, but I’m definitely in a good mood today…a better mood than I’ve been in as of late.

I think it’s because today is the first day in quite a few that I’ve awoken to bright and sunny skies instead of gloom and rain.  It was nice to see the sun beaming through the bedroom window this morning.  I’m sure part of it also has to do with the fact that Hubby is out of the house today giving me some personal time to get things done.

I spent most of the morning catching up on housework that I couldn’t set aside any longer, and I still ended up having time to knock out some work.  I told myself I was taking for myself no matter what because I knew he’d be out of the house and out of my hair.  I love him to death, but we all need a little quiet time to ourselves from time to time.

I’m taking a lunch break now, then I’m going to knock out more work.  I think I may actually get everything finished by the time he gets home today with hopefully some time to spare.  I’m hoping to even have some time to knock out a few things on my personal I-promised-to-do-this list…like finally picking up my BFF’s laptop and getting it fixed.  I’ve only been promising to do it for a little over 2 weeks now, but I just haven’t had the time to get over there to pick it up.

I also promised one of our friends I’d help her price some stuff for the house they just bought.  It’s a foreclosure that’s going to need a lot of work, but they got it for a dang good price.  She’s put her guy and Hubby in charge of fixing the structural stuff while us girls take care of the decorative and shopping end of things.

Lighting Showplace is having an outdoor lighting sale, so I definitely need to peek at what they have so I can let her know before the sale ends, but if I do that right now I’ll end up wasting a couple hours drooling over the lights I want but can’t afford right now. Seriously though we need to get some kind of lighting for our front walkway. I don’t know how many times I’ve almost busted my butt recently trying to walk to the porch in the dark.

Anywho that’s yet another discussion for another time.  I need to make myself a sandwich, kick my butt in gear, and get more accomplished before Hubby comes home.
