//LAST WEEKEND VS. THIS WEEKEND//
Here was me this past weekend:
1. With allergies acting up, didn’t really feel like doing squat.
2. Mother-in-law in town, but she, the wife and Cutlet were out shopping most of the time.
3. Did a little bit of work on our bathroom, but while replacing the closet light, managed to render three electrical outlets and our bedroom overhead light dead.
4. Mother-in-law gave me the green light to drive her Mercedes SLK 230 convertible (supercharged!). Despite allergies, managed to drive it, top-down, and not get bugs stuck in my grin-exposed teeth. 80 mph. Handles greeeaaat. Must get one of these someday.
5. Before all of this, had to move the contents of our closet from the guest bedroom to our upstairs over-the-garage loft/junk room. Hated that I made no progress on the renovation. I miss having clothes close at hand.
Here are my plans this weekend:
1. Wife is Matron of Honor in my sister’s wedding (May 17). Saturday is the bridesmaids’ brunch and personal shower for my sister. Wife and Cutlet will again, sadly, be gone all day.
2. I’ll miss them, but it’s another chance to renovate, renovate, renovate. Plan to use toxic chemicals (while wearing a respirator) to remove 40-year-old floor adhesive from the floor. Fun! If survive the fumes, will move on to re-insulating the bare walls. On Wednesday, I managed to fix the electrical problems we were having. Everything works now! Yippee!
3. Will make a trip to the always-fun home improvement store for supplies and tool envy.
4. Will be forced to drive the Mustang to run errands. Not complaining; it’s a fast, fun car. I’m the envy of 15-year-old boys everywhere. But the fake hood scoop is a little much. Note to self: next time, get more grownup car that gets better gas mileage (like an SLK 230).
5. Feeling fantastic! No excuses for not exercising and getting things done. Might even post a blog entry! Post some pics to my fotolog.net account! Woo hoo! Maybe make the wife her very first Mother’s Day card. Continue prepping our junk for the upcoming Garbage (uh, garage) Sale.
What are your weekend plans? Whatever they are, I wish you a peaceful time during which you can become recharged, refreshed and fulfilled. See ya later!
