My weekend plans

 

Summertime!

Yes, that's me, at about 1 yr old. My daddy brought me back that hat from Korea and I loved that hat - I sure wish I had it today - it would make an awesome gardening hat. This was on a Virginia Beach. My dad was stationed at Fort Eustis, VA. 

I was a fat baby - through no fault of my own. The more active I became, the more I started slimming down. At one point, I was told that my parents thought I would end up being 6ft tall, 250 lbs by the time I was 18. 

Thank God that didn't happen. 

The husband and Foodie will leave out after lunch. Then it's MY HOUSE. 

I was so excited, that last night I couldn't sleep - I kept thinking of everything I wanted to do. Honestly, I won't have time to do even half of it. The last time I remember it was 1:00 am! 

I also had swollen feet for some reason - that were bothering me as well as a restless leg that just wouldn't settle down. My husband has restless leg syndrome on both legs and he jerks the bed - if I don't get to sleep before him, it makes it hard to get to sleep. Last night, I didn't even notice his jerking movements - I was coping with my own. 

Today I plan to paint an old bookcase that I had in the garage, that I cleaned up and will place it in my closet. I don't use a dresser for my clothes. My closet is fairly minimalistic - I gave my husband the bigger closet because the larger one overwhelmed me. I have fit everything in a smaller closet and tried to make it organized. I'm trying to get him to give up his chest of drawers and use containers in his large closet - he has the room but he's still stuck on having to have a chest. I like my bedroom to be free of a lot of furniture. 

I figure painting and cleaning out the closet will probably take me all day. 

Tomorrow I want to go to Dollar Tree - and check out some stuff. I have the Elvis movie at 3pm and when that is over, I plan to get take-out at my favorite Mexican restaurant for my dinner. 

Saturday is the Food Bank Commodities that I pick up for Margie. When I drop off her food, I usually sit and chat with her for a little bit. I also hope to catch up on some phone calls. 

Not to mention, all the outside chores I need to do - watering the plants, picking up dog poop, etc. Plus wrestling with Laydee - getting her to take her pills.
