Since Matt started grad school, I have some more free time to work on house projects. Woo have I had FUN!We laid the sod last weekend, and Monday was an off day we spent getting all sorts of errands done: car stuff, house stuff, lawn care, etc. I did a ton of deep cleaning too, as I like to do the first weekend of a new month.
Tuesday Matt had a ten hour day at work. We tried to go to Bible study in the evening but were too zonked to stay! We left early and called it a night by 9pm. I was itching to do some furniture re-arranging, but it would have to wait until Wednesday night...
After work yesterday, while a casserole was baking, we set out for a quick 3 mile run. There was a gorgeous sunset beginning, it was so beautiful. The run was great for Matt as he hit the books right after - and I started an organizing project! I switched out Matt's tall bookshelf in the living room with two smaller ones from the office, which really made the wide open space look better. I will take some photos tonight. It was good exercise lifting and stacking all those books!
So this morning while the coffee brewed, I was eyeing the layout of furniture in the living room and realizing that if I switched a few pieces around, it would look better. And thanks to laminate floors, I quietly did the switch right then and there :) Matt did not even hear it!
Next project: the DVD shelf. It is full to bursting! We are packing tonight for a weekend trip home, so...not sure if I will get away with it, but I will try :)
What do you need to get organized?
Happy Thursday, all!

My whole house ha ha ha!
I need your help! I love to be organized but sometimes don't know where to begin. A new house would help too since our apartment is beginning to feel very cramped! :)
Can't wait to see the new layout. I want to rearrange some stuff here, but I think Ryan might have a heart attack if I dare suggest moving his leather chair to the basement!
My card-making stuff for my business is getting a little cluttered since school & grad school started back up. I have had NO time for it and am trying to make baby shower invites for my sister back home and baby announcements for a coworker so it's been all over my kitchen table.
Can't wait to see photos of your new arrangements! Have a great weekend!!!
Haul out the excess, then organize. Keep it simple.
Look forward to seeing you on the weekend!
My life! I feel like I'm going crazy - this week at work, I called my assistant in a panic to leave a message for a client about something, and she told me I already did it - over a week ago. Losing. My. Mind. Wait until we have two babies, the term "mommy brain" will fit me perfectly.
Deep cleaning sounds nice. I was noticing our refrigerator needs a little TLC :)
Can't wait to hear about the weekend and see those pics of the new arrangement of furniture.
What do I need to get organized? Oh my goodness....I mostly need TIME and availability and motivation!!!! :)
