Today was, all in all, a very good day. 
My student worked really hard, and I got more work from him than I expected, which is always a nice bonus. 
Husband and I are getting ready for the arrival of Momma MACKE this weekend!! I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about all that “crazy mother-in-law” stuff, because my MIL really is (really, really) is awesome. I’m lucky to have her! Anyway, today after work, daron and I got working on all kinds of house work… He has graciously taken on the task of vaccuming. Which is awesome because I hate it so much. I worked in the bedroom and in the guest room (my office/blue room) to get it all ready for her. I still have a little work to do tomorrow, but we’re mostly ready.
I’ve had money on my mind a little bit lately, I guess because we’re about to drop a serious chunk on this amazing trip to Spain… (with an overnight trip to Paris!!) It is funny because as soon as you start saving up for something, there are a dozen things you need to spend money on! Like, I want to get a new set of full sheets and bedding for the “guest bed” that is usually a sofa (a cute little ikea piece). I’m also trying to eat cheap for the next few weeks. mostly yogurtoats for breakfast and pbj sammies for lunch.
I also worked on “accessorizing” an untouched area of our bedroom. Our bedroom has never felt “finished” to me… and certainly not “decorated”. We have a bedroom set from my mother, and the chest of drawers has been completely useless… well, except for holding stacks and stacks of junk, trash, letters, books, cups, and crap. It looked like complete shit, to be honest. Well, tonight, I scoured the house and found lots of treasures – some wall cubes I had tucked in a closet, a pair of very cute mercury glass candle holders from mom that I never found a home for, some books with spines of the right colors, some twigs from our dead bushes, and voila! A fully decorated looking chest of drawers.
Tomorrow, I’m paining two canvases that I got for free which will go over our bed. It is nice when stuff that costs money gets done for FREE. I’ll post some pictures of all the changes tomorrow.
Now for a half palm full of carob chips and off to bed. Goodnight!

Little girlie, you can come shop at my knick knack shop (home) anytime! What size is the bed you need sheets for! Tell Lynn hello for me! Let me know if you need decorating help! Love you, mom

accessorizing a room does such wonders for making it feel “finished.” i’m lousy at it though! my mom has had to come and whip every apartment i’ve had into shape, lol.
thanks for your sweet sweet comments on my half! if you’re motivated now to do the one at the end of the year, i say go for it!! you totally have time to get ready … (plus you can always back out if you decide running makes you miserable, shhhhh)
