Paul and I have both been working early lately (I start at 6:30 and he at 8 and we each leave the house a half hour before that) so today even though we didn't have to wake up for anything we were ready to go at about 8:30. We started our day by eating breakfast and watching the office! Then we put up our christmas tree. It looks like a charlie brown christmas tree because 1. its fake, 2. it has no ornaments 3. it was cheap. I told Paul after Christmas next year, when we have a house, I want to buy a nice fake tree. (I totally know I should have real trees, but they make such a mess, and I would never remember to water it!) So here is our tree! (Oh and before this year I have thought people who put Christmas tree's up before thanksgiving were crazy...but with work these days I do things on my days off, and I don't have very many of those coming up, so we did it today!)
Paul had to work at 4 so I had a to-do list to get done. It's so easy to find stuff to do when he is gone these days since I am hardly home when he isn't. :) I cleaned the fridge, it was getting crazy messy and bothering me.
The door doesn't look much different but let me tell you it is way easier to get the bottles in and out now!
I didn't end up eating lunch today, my schedule is so messed up now because of work. On a work day I eat breakfast at 5:45am, lunch at 12:30 and dinner at 6:30. Since I ate breakfast at like 10 today I never became hungry for lunch...odd how that works. Anyway, tonight I had a toasted bagel with ham, cheese, lettuce, and garlic and herb mayonnaise, with banana and a satsuma orange on the side. It was super yummy!
Our living room hasn't been picked up all week! It was such a relief to have to time to make it look all pretty. As much as I like a perfectly clean house I would way rather have a job and not have time to have a house as clean as I like it.
Here is my to-do list. I started it last Sunday. I plan on finishing the rest tomorrow. Well maybe tonight depending on how tired I am after my bath and shower tonight. (I seriously haven't showered today and it is after 8, this is ridiculous. This is what happens when you don't go anywhere and you have no one to impress...haha)
I finished the Christmas Cards after I took a picture of the list! I just need to buy like 30 more stamps at the post office, and it needs to become December and then I can send them out! :) My desk is almost totally cleared off now and that is pretty exciting if I do say so myself. Haha.
Paul and I are looking at like 11 houses tomorrow with our Realtor so that should be exciting!
Now off to my shower and bath. :) (the reason I say both is because I have to wash my hair in the shower and then take a bath or vice versa. Is that weird or normal...I dont really know.)
Hope you all are having a fantastic start to your weekends!
OK I loved your post! Your apartment looks so clean and cozy with your tree up! And I am absolutely inspired to de-clutter some areas and clean out my fridge now! We're probably just borrowing a dinky fake tree this year too (if I can find a place to put it), but I am soooo looking forward to christmas-ing up the place and making it cozy - now I'm more excited.
ReplyDeletenice work accomplishing so much!
Oh, and I don't know if that is normal or not, but I always take a shower after relaxing in a bath and wash my hair. I always run out of hot water, though...:)
Thanks Becca! Our tree is borrow too, so not only is it a cheap tree, it's not even ours, haha. :) And I always run out of hot water too because our tub leaks the water out when you are taking a bath, I need to buy a stopper. My friend told me to try duck tape tonight...and it worked! For the first time I didn't run out of hot water. :)
ReplyDeleteAngela I loved your post too! I can't believe how on top of Christmas you are! I'm probably going to try to convince Joe to get a real tree this year. Maybe next year we'll go with fake, but hey - if I do a good job watering it and vacuuming up pine needles, why not?
