Girl with the Pink Toolbelt

Why does it always seem like the weekend just FLIES BY but the work week just drags the fuck on and on?  It never fails.  I usually have a to-do list a mile long and only get through half of it because the time just gets away from me.  Well- it also doesn't help that I literally spent all of Saturday either in bed or on the couch.  And I'm totally serious when I say that.  Like- I think I got up twice- and I made the most of them- multitasking as it's finest.  Both were to get something to eat, drink and then go potty.  Probably burned a whopping 4 calories on those excursions.   I'm one sexy beast I tell you. Anyway- on Friday Miss Wendy and I met up with Miss Kim for dinner and then headed over to The Christmas Tree Shops where I got some serious deals.  Don't you just LOVE a bargain?  - I like going there to get holiday decorations because let's face it- they are super cheap while still being cute and I hate holidays so what's the p...

OK so I need your opinions.  I'm about to re-do a chandelier that I just happen to have on hand.  There are only a few spots in my house that it can actually go and I don't actually think that I can hang it in the garage like I'd like to for fear of scaring off all potential men forever.  Nothing screams man-cave like a sparkly chandelier. So this is where you come in to play.  I have 4 spots to choose from:  1) my master bedroom closet- which seems ideal but it would have to hang high in order to open and close the door, 2) my "other" master closet that I do not use and would be the potential husbands closet that now houses not used yet home decor, 3) entryway just inside my front door- which would again have to hang high to clear the door and 4) at the top of the stairs in front of the hall bathroom.  All of the places are pictured below.  {my master closet}  {spare master closet}  {entryway just inside the front door} ...

On Saturday we went over to the park to do our 11 mile run. It was nice and cool- perfect weather for a run and there were a ton of people out enjoying it. This park is really nice and has a mile track going around it that is labeled every tenth of a mile as well as quarter and three quarter mile markers.  Running this track is SO MUCH BETTER than being a hamster on the treadmill, that's for damn sure.   You know how there are just some days where you don’t feel like doing something? Well, Saturday was my day of feeling like I didn’t want to run.  At.  All.  Like I’ve mentioned before I’m really into running and actually enjoy it. But I enjoy about 3 miles of it. Asking me to do more than that fucking sucks balls is not fun. Training for this half marathon hasn’t been that bad though. It’s nice having someone to train with and it’s also nice to get daily exercise. But I’m about over it. Seriously. This race can’t come fast enough. Mis...

Last week I had a couple of days off during the week which really helped me get started on my to-do list for the weekend. I had planned on getting quite a few things done around the house which were really going to take up the entire 2 days from starting the projects to finally getting them completed. Even though it was GORGEOUS outside and I would have much more preferred to lay my ass outside on my chaise- I got to it first thing Thursday. Well, after I slept in and had a yummy breakfast that is. Number one on the project list was taking the lights in the two bathrooms back down as I discussed here so that I could patch up the holes left by the builders from the original lights. The upstairs hall bathroom was going to be the big project since I was planning on re-painting it afterwards (which I still haven’t done). Downstairs should have been the easy, quick fix since I was just patching the drywall and then doing a little bit of touch up paint. Did you catch the “...
