Good Things and Bad Things

Hi Guys. Guess what? It's almost the weekend!!! Huzzah for that! Anyways, I'm full of all sorts of things today so here goes..

• Good thing: Sister B found shoes for her wedding. HUZZAH!

• Bad thing: I have not found shoes for the wedding. :( granted, i have 7 more weeks to figure that out.

• Good thing: we talked LOTS of wedding things and are sort of getting somewhere?

• Bad thing: there is still SO MUCH to do and only 7 WEEKS until the big day! (FROM TODAY!)

• Good thing: rehearsal got changed on Saturday so my whole day won't be spent at the studio

• Bad thing: I have no plans for this weekend. I want plans. 

• Good thing: because I have no plans I MIGHT be able to get my house clean! It was so clean a month ago after I did my Spring Cleaning Extravaganza...it needs some help again.

• Good thing: I haven't eaten any sweets (yay no sugar diet!) since Monday. I'm awesome.

• Bad thing: work is stressing me out (new system is going to KILL me!) and I REALLY wish I could eat my weight in chocolate right now.

• Good thing: I look cute today.

As you can see, the good things definitely outweigh the bad...and in the meantime I am trying to live by this motto:

BUSY Thursday things!

Well, as all hell starts to break loose all around me (things are INSANE at work right now!) I have just a few things on my mind:

• Spring Cleaning. I am so excited to do this. I am hoping I don't get burned out, because I REALLY REALLY want a clean house after Saturday. 

• Work is crazy busy. The phones won't stop ringing. I have to work tomorrow. I don't want to work tomorrow.

• Why don't I want to work tomorrow? Well, the weather is supposed to be the NICEST so far this year tomorrow. I want to play outside all day. :(

• I am going to the temple tomorrow night. Want to join me?

• I am really excited about General Conference. It is going to be awesome!

• Also awesome? The birthday present my roommate got me. We are going to break it in Sunday night during Chopped! All-Stars. :o) woo hoo!

• I am getting excited for summer. I can't wait for nice evenings.

• I had a date last night with a guy I met online. He will remain nameless until I decide on a name for him...or something. It was fun, but the jury is still out on how I feel.

• My poor roommate has to work ALL weekend - including Sunday afternoon. I am going to be all alone. Anyone want to come watch conference with me??

I think that's it for now...there's lots going on around here, and I'm okay with that. :o)

Spring Cleaning

Guys. Spring is slowly coming! I always feel like a yo-yo during Springtime in Utah. Gorgeous 60+ degrees one day, snow the next. It can be kind of infuriating, but at the same time I'm used to it so I just shrug my shoulders and say, "C'est la vie!"

Anywho, there have a few different posts by people I know and people I don't know on Spring Cleaning. dun dun duuuun....

My house is in dire need of some good old fashioned spring cleaning. With neither me nor my roommate moving out in the past two years - nor in the foreseeable future, the general areas of our house plus my bedroom are in serious need of a nice DEEP CLEANING. After seeing all of my friends/non-friends and their lists and before/after pictures I've decided that this weekend I am going to do my own Spring Cleaning. I've divided up my house into 5 areas: My Bedroom, the Bathroom, the Laundry room/Hallway, the Living Room/Storage/Balcony area, and the Kitchen. I'm planning on doing my bathroom over the course of today/tomorrow, my bedroom and the laundry room/hallway areas on Friday night and then the rest of the areas (aka the front of the house) on Saturday while watching General Conference. I'm not going to post my detailed list of what I'm doing in each area here but let's just say it is going to be a thorough TOP to BOTTOM spring cleaning. If you want my list of cleaning tasks for each area I'd be happy to share - just leave a comment with your email address (or email me first!) and I'll send you the Excel spreadsheets I've created. he he he. I'm such a crazy, organized cleaner. I love having things checked off on paper! I started doing this on sticky notes - but I needed more room for some of my areas. :o)

ANYWHO....I'm telling you all of this becasue 1) I think it's interesting and 2) I like being able to return and report. Keeps me responsible or something. That's all....let the cleaning commence!!
