while i was at the store i saw a table for sale that was in my meager budget and was the perfect size for what i wanted in the library for my research table. so aiden and i just set it up. ::beams. so much work needs to be done in here. but i think with the bookcases i have left i can at least set out a few of my favorite authors and my research books to tide me over until we can afford to work on this room. with the raise i hope to get in december we might be able to swing it for my birthday in march. i think i'll save up some leave and take a few days off and build it the weekend my b-day is closest to. we'll need to tare down the wall paper and paint. and then i'll need to build all the bookcases. i have a pretty clear idea in mind how i want them set up.
after i got home i made the best hash browns i've ever made!!! diced some onion, tossed in some mushrooms and YUM!!! i made biscuits and i made myself an egg to go with it. r doesn't eat eggs. :) he loved it. said it felt like he was in a diner since it was the afternoon and it tasted so yummy. ::beams:: i love feeding him.
the past three days i've managed to go back to the way i used to eat in highschool. mostly skip breakfast (eating when i first wake up hurts my stomach), big lunch, and then snack lightly for dinner. i've felt SO much better because of it. eating makes me sleepy and useless at night. i've been drinking a ton of tea. regular tea, not the raspberry kind. though thinking of that i think i might make a pot! r would like that! i did find my light weights while unpacking!!! YAY!!! going to put those in the bed room near the exercise bike. now that i have new shin chan to watch while working out in the morning that's going to be really fun again.
I'm going to try and set up an old phone i had in our bedroom. i think its broken - but why would i have kept it if its broken? so i'll check it and toss it. not that we get many calls on the home line, but sure enough when they call i'm upstairs and our only phone is down stairs.
the weather outside is beautiful. the kind of weather i wait all year for. nice cool breeze, perfect cool temp so i can do things outside without getting yucky. i LOVE the feel of the wind in my hair. i swear if we had a poarch swing i'd be outside right now grinning my head off. wrapped up in a light blanket, bare feet and a cup of warm tea in my hand. boy oh boy i can't wait for that! and in the summer a cool foo foo beer for me, and something lime flavored for r and soda for aiden. and we'll swing and be merry. ::grins:: i'm in a really, really good mood today.
i unpacked the majority of my craft supplies last night and this morning. i think there's one or two more boxes of my stuff. then there's r's supplies and the paints - but i think he's going to put them in his office? i do need to move the office supplies in here from the living room. have to figure out where we're going to store the canvases.
sigh... i do need to make some changes to my power point for the presentation. its in TWO WEEKS!! eep! i know i should be all freaked out about having to talk in front of all those people. but right now i'm just not. effexfor is good stuff kitties. good shit!!!
ok, if i want to get more accomplished today before i crash i should get to it. i promised aiden i would battle bakugan with him at five since he did a good job cleaning his room last night.
hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!! don't forget true blood comes on tonight!

r is at the store getting marsala wine - FOR TONIGHT I ATTEMPT TO MAKE MARSALA CHICKEN!!! nothing in it is terribly fattening. It does use some olive oil BUT, olive out combats bad cholesterol so its GOOD for you. *looks sheepish* here's to hoping i can actually make something that will taste good. its a copy cat recipe on the olive garden version that i LOVED. so i like food, i like to cook, and i need more healthy things in my recipe lists. making it with linguine. don't you think you should visit so i can feed you? hmm...? *grins*
aiden wouldn't go on a walk with me (the pooper!!), so i am stuck at home until r gets here. and by then it will be too late. did clean the kitchen though! marks for asani!!! woohoo!!! ok, back to cooking. OH OH OH, i got to use my meat pounder thing for the first time for its proper use. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO TAKE OUT MY FRUSTRATIONS THAT WAY. but i may have too much thin chicken for tonight now? lol, whatever! have fun kids and kittens!
