Yesterday was one of those days where I woke up with the motivation to get things done! Lately it doesn’t seem like I have these days as often, so I embraced it and whirred around the house like the Tazmanian Devil checking ‘To Do’s’ off my list!
Dusting: Check!
No dust bunnies here! I dusted every surface in our house, which took over two hours!! Here’s a tip: When an English major marries a Poetry major, you end up with WAY MORE books than one couple will ever need! Donate, donate, donate! Otherwise, it will take you over two hours to dust!
Capiz Chandelier hung: Check!
I FINALLY hung this gorgeous capiz chandelier in Parrish and I’s bedroom! Now I just need to take down the paddles on the fan and give them a neutral coat of paint.
Hat hung: Check!
Last weekend I was able to choose one of my Papa’s hats and I chose this truly awesome white cowboy hat. If you had ever had the pleasure of meeting my Papa in person, most likely he would have been wearing a super cool hat like this. I love it.
Portfolio Finished: Check!
I am finished with my Creative Writing class! I had to turn in my portfolio of completed works (one non-fiction, one fiction, and one poem) by Tuesday. Since I’m a NON-TRADITIONAL student who has a full-time job, I went ahead and banged it out yesterday! Woo hoo to not waiting until the last minute!
Grocery List for the week: Check!
I love making menus, and while this week isn’t the most exciting week of meals, it is going to be easy! I start training my replacement at work this week, so the days are going to be a bit longer. Easy suppers will make that less stressful.
After making the menu, I went to the store and bought the necessities. Once home, I went ahead and sliced and diced all our veggies for the week. It’s so much easier, and I love it when I have the time to make that step happen.
Delicious Supper: Check!
Kale Chips with The BEST gluten free chicken nuggets ever!! This is what happens when you’re so busy getting things done that you forget to eat lunch! But seriously, I love those nuggets!
So how was I able to stay so motivated today? How was I able to harness that much energy?!
