Saturday's To-Do List
- Wake Up (and drag Matt out of bed).
- Find some clean towels and shower.
- Get house ready for the painters who have taken 6 days to paint a room and a hallway.
- Call landlord- make her supervise the painters who disappear for 2 hrs at a time.
- Tell puppies that we love them, even though they're trapped in our bedroom.
- Go to a flea market looking for a desk, TV stand, and kitchen table. Come home empty handed, but celebrate silently as I now get to order the pieces I want online.
- Buy new sheets and pillows at Macy's. Marvel at the sales person who brings over stripped, embroidered, and polka-dotted bed skirts when I repeatedly tell him, "plain white".
- Return sea salt for new wooden spoons. Realize that my sheer excitement over wooden spoons is totally inappropriate.
- Try to buy a dishwasher, because I am not a dishwasher.
- Learn that we have to special order said dishwasher and that it will take 3 weeks for our dishwasher to arrive. Cry uncontrollably to myself.
- Send Matt to Best Buy to order the dishwasher.
- Order a plain white bed skit.
- Order desk, tv stand, and kitchen table.
- Research birthday gifts for Jackson's first birthday (don't worry John and Julie- it will be quiet and compact).
- Watch the play-offs and laugh at Bob Costa's bad dye job.
- Finally do some laundry- 3 loads people.
- Make dinner (shepherd's pie).
- Wash dishes by hand... tear...
- Decide that the boxes will not win... unpack them with a purpose.
- Go to bed in our new sheets!!
