Operation Spare Bedroom

In trying to figure out what Derick and I wanted to do for our Memorial Day "vacation," we decided to stay home and work on projects around the house that needed to get done but that would take some time on our part. First off, the office/spare room. I thought it was high-time to organize it once-and-for-all! So, we measured, planned, and moved furniture around the house to accommodate the "new" room. Derick and I went to my parent's house and picked up my childhood bed, brought it back and put it back together in the room. It really helped pull it all together and I have to say, I am pretty happy with how things are turning out! We had to do a bit of moving and condensing items, but it works, and makes it seem like there is more room than before! We are almost done with the room. I have to go through some papers that I have been piling up and placing in folders, but have not put away or, better yet, thrown away!

I took Tucker to the dog park today among the sprinkles of rain that threatened the time, but all in all, we stayed pretty dry! It was nice to get outside, as I was antsy from being inside for the majority of the day today and yesterday moving things around.

Tomorrow looks like another day of relaxing...bowling in the morning and then coming back home to finish off some house chores and then some relaxing time. I had forgotten just how tiring moving things and organizing things could be! Yikes! Also, it probably didn't help that I had spent the night the night before, on my feet, painting with Jacque! I felt like an old person when I got up the next day!

Ok, I am going to sign off, and try to tackle one more box of things to sort through! I can do it!!
