Guest room for under $200

Before...yuk

Well.we finished it tonight, just in time for my sister.  It still needs a TV because all guest need to relax with a little satellite, but that will have to wait for tax return.  There is a perfect place for a flat screen TV right in the nook.  It needs a bit more decor but it's good enough.

some things I'm diggin on

I thought I would share with all of you some things that I really like at the moment.

I love this yoga bag on the left. Check it out at http://www.sakayoga.com/ I saw it a year ago, fell in love with it and forgot about it. I rediscovered it the other day, I just might have to buy it.

MOO Cards! They are so fun. I use them for business cards. You can load your own pictures and use them for whatever you want, use your imagination... http://www.moocards.com/

Coconut water, I LOVE this stuff. This if my favorite brand. Find it at WholeFoods or Vitamin Cottage. Refreshing and good for you.

finished!!!

definitely not the prettiest...but done none the less.  :)

"Hard to NOT do 20 things at Once...."

Nurse Doug said this to me via email yesterday.....hmmmmmmm....yes, just think about it for a few minutes. It's very true. If you are used to multi tasking...maybe going 4 places a day, taking care of groceries, school, work...and then BAM...they say..."hey, sleep in, relax" I guarantee that your eyes will pop open at 620 am and your mind will race with all the things that you should be doing or could be doing. Not very relaxing. Not very relaxing at all. I'm going on day 3 of Spring Break and I'm all ready thinking about cracking open my school books so taht I don't fall behind. Fall Behind!!!???? It's Spring Break!

I cleaned the entire fishtank yesterday, that means dumping all the water, cleaning the rocks, scrubbing that filter thing and refilling with fresh water and getting a new condo for the fish. They will probably die now. I cleaned the 11 yo's room and we threw a bunch of stuff out, which leads to a mind problem for myself. I hate throwing away those little misplaced toys. Little helmetless Lego people are the worst for me. I feel bad for them....anyways I secretly put all the "cute" homeless toys in a shoebox and put them on the "homeless" shelf. I realized that I have 3 other boxes. (I'm going to take a picture to prove it tonight). His room looks good. Then I headed to the basement to work on the new guest room and basement toys. it's gross in the basement. (this is a case of not being able to relax) The new room looks good except I need pillows....but the "rumpus room" as my parents would have called it is disgusting. It's got the shag, brown, swirl carpet and mismatched furniture, along with a ton of Marshall Stacks of Bobby's and just random STUFF. Not sure what to do with the basement.

Today, is knitting night, but it might turn into ladies night. Got that Synda?

I better get to work.

I wanted to remind everyone about "babysteps" for the Earth. If you haven't stopped using grocery bags at the grocery store...please...get yourself 4 Earth friendly bags and stop using that plastic

Write ya later

let's post

So, I really have not much to say, actually nothing to say, but I feel I owe myself some writing time.
The weather here is going to be fabulous today, so I have decided to leave work around 1pm, go home, run my 4 miles, if I can make it, and then do some house work. Sounds like a more than interesting day huh? My oldest sister is coming from MI this weekend and I swore I would have the house cleaned. Plus it's Spring Cleaning time...you know window ledges...all that good stuff.

We got the bed for the guest room! it's going to look nice. If I can get a way today I will go get some pillows for it. Maybe I should look on Etsy.

I'll take pictures later.
