It's still the weekend (I work tues-sat), but it has been fabulous. It's the first weekend we've been home in a long time and I needed it.
I took down the shelves in the living room and finally painted them (white), decides how I wanted to hang a few things in the kitchen (still need to execute), and touched up some nail holes on our coat hook trim. I'm planning to sew a pillow cover this afternoon and hopefully organize/purge a few areas that need it.
We picked up a couple of jute rugs for our family room and have pretty much decided the direction of our master bedroom with regard to decor. Other than that, it was a very lazy weekend.
Not long enough! I wasn't feeling great so I stayed in.
On the D&R front I did rearrange a bookcase in the LR that spawned a couple posts here yesterday, and I set up the secretary that my mom handed down to me so I have a small "office" in our dining room now. Maybe I'll post pics.
Let's see....well, I met John & Sherry at a book signing. They were so nice, and I promised myself I'd never read another negative thread about them. LOL

Pretty good.
I did a solo grocery store trip with both girls which was tricky, but not horrible. I met friends at the pool Sunday with both girls and it was fun. Not awesome to get in a bikini 21 days after giving birth, but oh well. It was a blast. Mina slept the whole time.
I got all my H&G stuff done. Painted radiator & kitchen window. Plus I went thru all DD1's clothes, purged a huge bag and organized all the bins.
DH and I sort if got into it over the lack of progress on the bathroom and he wants to hire some of it out now like I suggested over a month ago.
It was good. We finished a bunch of paint touch ups on the ceiling and walls of the master bedroom. Drwalled, sanded, drwalled, sanded, and primed the entire master closet (ceiling and walls). Cleaned everything out of the master bathroom (which was a lot) and put down paper and drop clothes. Started on the drywall sanding and mudding in there. Put away the drop clothes and tore up the paper on the master bedroom floor. Moved the bed frame back into the bedroom and put it together but left the mattress off so I can buy some felt pads to put on the bottom. Started moving boxes out of the DR and into the two spare bedrooms. One bedroom for all of our clothes and the other for everything else. We'll purge through all of that stuff later but for now we need to start clearing everything out so we can put the new flooring in the DR & LR.
Tonight I'm touching up the poly in the master bedroom and texturing the master closet walls and ceiling...which will be fun because there is a big mix of existing and new pieces to blend.
Still working on our built in console table (finished up staining). Ordered fabric for my office drapes, a sette for the office, and a desk for the bonus room. whew!
I organized a little in the office/guest room. Hung some of the wall stuff, started putting things away into their permanent homes.
I made a set of hooks to hang coats above a hobbit door in our house - looks a little ghetto but it was f.r.e.e. Then I installed a little mouse door in Kate's room.
Then Sunday I spent the entire day with my girlfriends. Brunch at a fabulous place, then shopping for house stuff. I bought my coffee table and a couple of little clearance items here and there.
