Being Productive

Last night we ended up sitting at a friends apartment and catching up.  Upon arriving home we promptly fell into bed and passed out.  My alarm was set for 6:15 and I woke up with a start thinking I had to get ready for work.  Fortunately, before I could act on that thought I remembered it was Saturday, rolled over, and promptly went back to sleep.  Bud, however, woke up around 7:30 and had to leave the house at 8:40 for work.  I finally got up and spent too much time catching up on a blog I recently started following called Humble Pie.  I was admiring her ability to praise God through all things.  I was also envying her beautiful home.

Finally I got motivated to get cleaning.  This involved some seriously bold cleaning in the bedroom and living room.  My dogs love to lean against any and every wall and thus they leave marks on the walls.  So 3 magic erasers later the walls are spotless, I've vacuumed, dusted, started laundry, run to get Gas in the hubby's car, stopped at Target to get a couple candles and a replacement white v-neck t-shirt for myself, unloaded the dishwasher, and Facebook chatted with my brother (whose currently in Afghanistan), as well as Skyped with my Dad.  I still have a lot of little things to get done.  I need to mop the floors and sort through a mountain of paperwork.  Bud & I have decided to weed through our files and discard anything we no longer need (which I approximate will be 1/2 of the papers in the filing cabinet).  We'd really like to narrow all our files down to 1 drawer and 1 drawer only.  I have a number of other things on my list of to do's, but I felt good with what I accomplished thus far.

My Super Clean Bedroom!

In order to reward my hard work I set off to sit by the pool and read a few more sections out of Eat, Pray, Love.  I still have some reading to do but the time at the pool was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable.

Perfection!

Now I'm showered and preparing to go the ZACH Theatre to see Metamorphoses at 8pm with a friend Rachel!  And no worries, the hubby will be fine, he is off at a Round Rock Express Baseball Game tonight with the guys.  Although I can't wait to get home to see him tonight it's always nice when we both have something fun going on!  I'll be sure to post how the play is and I hope everyone has a blessed night!
