Husband works this evening so we aren't doing anything today. That's fine with me.
I've been searching Lowes and Google for ideas to finish our bathroom. I am SO excited about how I am going to do our vanity; I'm going to convert a 3 drawer dresser into our vanity. This will be far cheaper and I'll be able to match the wood color to our medicine cabinet.
And our tub is in and holds water! In the next few weeks we need to pick up the tile backer/grout/mortar so I can tile it. I'm just excited that after almost 3 years, we will have a finished bathroom that is nice!
This summer felt like it was about 1 month long. I don't know how we've arrived in September already and to boot, the trees are already changing colors.
I'm heading out for a 12 mile run in a few minutes. I'm suppose to be doing 14 today, but I don't think it's happening. When I get home we're running to the local kids museum and then I'm baking cookies for Ollie's daycare class to round out his birthday weekend!
I'm usually really sad at the end of summer, but I'm SO excited for fall! Pumpkin patches, apple cider, Halloween costumes, half/full marathon!
I'm about to start grading some book reports. I'm a little bitter about reading them, because they were a summer assignment that someone else made, and then the class was given to me. I think the assignment was dumb, and grading them has been mindnumbingly boring.
I'm so exhausted. I was off Thursday and Friday and we've spent every day of the long weekend working on the house. We're about to head down there again. I'm super busy at work- I'll probably work 11-12 hour days all week, and then we'll be working on the house all next weekend. And hopefully moving the weekend after that. And then we'll have to unpack. I can't even think about it.
Bad news....I screwed up my ankle yesterday and it hurts like a bitch. We went to the Renaissance Festival and I was climbing the bleachers to watch the joust. The board was loose and when I stepped up on it I went one way and it went the other. Then as I went down I put my hand down to catch my fall and dumbass fucked up still healing after two years broken finger didn't want to support my weight and didn't support the fall.
Good news...I have a brisket cooking and is starting to smell gooooood!
Heading to the in-laws' today for FIL's birthday. It's the first time we've left the apartment all weekend, and I kind of wish we were still home, but also kind of glad to be out. We got so much packing done between Saturday and yesterday; we're probably about 85% there. Benefit of living in a tiny space, I guess!
Oh, and count me in for wanting to pull out the fall decorations. It's one of my big plans for moving weekend. Hopefully it won't be so grossly hot/humid two weekends from now.
H, Andy and I all got sick on the last day of vacation. Some cold or respiratory thing. The fevers are gone but we are all coughing and sleeping shitty. Glad we have a low key day at home before launching into the workweek.

Jealous! We've been planning to re-do our half bath all summer and were supposed to go buy the new vanity and medicine cabinet today, but then our water heater sprung a leak yesterday afternoon and everything had to go on the back burner until it's replaced on Thursday.
Ugh we still have no Internet. They have to send out a tech tomorrow. This sucks. It never got fixed right after their outage.
H works today. My parents are bringing down some stuff for our garage sale today so I will hang with them for a bit, maybe read a little. The heat wave is finally supposed to break!
I was up really early this morning and the sun on the mountains and lake looked gorgeous, so I took a picture. I really wish I could paint so we could have a nice painting of our old view in our new house.
I am so ready for fall; ready for fall decor, clothes, food. Why isn't the weather agreeing with me? I am so over heat, humidity, shorts.
We didn't plan ahead enough to get out of town this weekend. So we're headed to the zoo this afternoon as a mini adventure. And I think dinner at Dinosaur BBQ!
I want a cinnamon broom. I might stick it between my front door and storm door so that the smell wafts through the door slightly but isn't BAM! in your face.
I have a one legged scare crow I want to put out, as well as our front door hanging scare crows sitting on a wreath. I'm such a sucker for fall.
There is a spider in the corner of our little roof over our back door. It's spun a mighty big web (that I tore down) but I don't have the heart to kill the spider because A) it's big enough it could eat me and what if it JUMPS?! and B) I have myself convinced that it is just a tiny toad...it's fat and pudgy like a peep toad/frog. It's probably just waiting to explode with babies. I need to spray insect/spider killer on it.
