what i did today

Well, that was the title of a post I wrote from my iPhone last night at 12:30am and guess what?  The browser shut down and lost it.  Fabulous.

Today is the day our hardwoods are supposed to be in.  I’m anxiously awaiting a call from them. I called this morning to see if they were in since they told us the trucks come in at night but when I talked to them he said they deliver during the day now.  So now I’m on pins and needles seeing if we can get started soon.

In the meantime, I’ve been working lots of overtime with work and spending almost any free time counseling youth and family members on their respective issues.  I never realized how tiring giving advice is.

Sorry for the lack of updates but I’m heads down at work and around the house. We’re having production issues that keep getting escalated. I have done nothing exciting the past few days. Yesterday I worked late and then had SIL and BIL over for dinner. Made a quick CVS trip as well and did the Dove deal listed at moneysavingmom.com and then settled in for the night with The Bachelor.  I think this season is going to be great.  I heart his accent.

So our paper just called to do the interview on my One Tree Hill site.  Can I be honest?  I felt like the biggest dork EVER.  I kept rambling on about the show and knew way too many facts about what he was asking.  He asked me to describe the show and I said it’s basically a teenage drama about a group of friends and following them through life.  He says, like 90210 basically?  Yes, I said.  He asked if there were any other shows I was just as passionate about?  And then I realized OMG I’m passionate about One Tree Hill.  A teenage drama.  I felt about this big (imagine my fingers squished together).  But then we got to the part about the money and I could proudly say I’ve made almost $550 just in the past two weeks and then thought, hey, who cares? I MADE $550 in TWO WEEKS off a fan site on a TEENAGE DRAMA.

Well, we are day 2 into the weekend and the girls visit to the beach.  So what have we done on this kid-free weekend?  Last night we went with C&D out to eat and then spent the rest of the evening until about midnight painting the living room and hallway.  We got 90% done and just had to finish one wall and do touch-ups.

This morning I had choir practice and I came home to finish painting.  We also cleaned house and even the van.  It’s amazing..it’s a few hours later and it’s STILL clean.

I think right now we’re going to repaint the sun room the green it already was.  It used to be the playroom so there’s crayon and everything else on the wall.

Tonight we have a dinner planned with Scott’s shift from work so I’m guessing that will take the bulk of our evening.

Living room pictures soon to come!  Waiting on the paint to dry to hang everything back up.

Ok, so it’s after midnight but everything I meant to get done this evening I did.  Got the girls packed, went with them to the High School Musical play (cute but it went too late for Lexi), finished painting the kitchen (pictures soon to come) and started painting the living room.

That’s the good news.  The bad news is now I’m behind on my reading (The Bible in 90 Days) and I already was behind. There are two grace days built in so you really could read it in 88 days but I’m guessing that might not happen.

The girls leave in the morning at 10 and I have to work but I’m hoping Scott will feel inspired to finish up the living room even though he detests painting.  Really I’m hoping the floors come in and then I’ll be happy to paint while he starts the floor!

So busy, I’m blogging haha.  Seriously, It’s already 30 min past when I log off and I still have a ton to do.

The girls leave for the beach in the morning and I’m still washing clothes and haven’t even gotten a suitcase down for them yet.

I’m thinking of taking the girls to see High School Musical tonight since they are going to the beach tomorrow morning and we’ll miss our regularly scheduled show tomorrow night.

AND I want to finish painting the kitchen and get started on the living room, hoping against hope that our floors arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

Oh AND Lost comes on tonight.

How much I’ve made since MARCH 1 on my OTH site.

Oh.

my.

goodness.

That’s less than two weeks.  I could get used to this.  We had another record number of page views yesterday at 34K.  Too bad the last episode is next Tuesday until it comes back in April because of the writer’s strike.

Seriously, y’all, I picked up my iPhone from the back of the recliner and it slipped out my hand, bounced off the dog’s water bowl and…onto the floor.  Oh my gosh, I would have never lived that one down if it had gone into the water.  Plus, I think I might have cried and gone in mourning for my iPhone.  Apparently me, water and cellphones don’t mesh well.
