Wild Weekend

This weekend was great. When I got out of work on Friday I went home and started painting. The living room is now, after two hard days of labor and much work, a yellowy beige color. It's quite pretty, I think, though Corey says that he doesn't see any difference in the white walls, although I think he is glad to be rid of the blue one. I was done with three walls by the time Corey got home and then we went to Fratello's with Josie and Ayden. We sat upstairs and listened to the jazz musicians. It was fun and the food was delish. Sadly though, we ate SO late that I went to bed with a tummy ache.

Of course I've still been fighting this stinking headache all weekend but I got up early enough on Saturday to at least feel like I could get something accomplished. Between breakfast at 9 and when we left for the Rochester fair around 2:30, I finished the whole darn place!! Holy cow! And I did have to send Corey to the Wal Mart, much to his chagrin. I think it's the first time he has been to, and spent money at, a Wal Mart in YEARS!!! I kind of had to guilt trip him into going, but seriously, I would have had to clean up the living room AND myself, taken a shower and gone to Wal Mart, then come home and gotten it all out again, so he really saved me a lot of time. Mostly I think he did it so the house would be back in order as he really can NOT stand any sort of change and having the living room distributed throughout the kitchen and bedroom was really bugging him.

So we then went with Josie and Ayden tot he Rochester Fair. It was super fun. Hot, hot, HOT when we got there, but it didn't stop us from having a good time. We went to the cheesy circus, saw the giraffes, watched folks feed the tigers and ate! Mmmmmmm, we had delicious yummies! We had Fries and pizza, fried dough, apple crisp with ice cream and Josie had something else I can't recall. Mmmmm it was fabulous!!!

We were home by 8:30 or so, but I was SO ready to be in bed. Long day for me, but I enjoyed the process of making the house brighter.

Sunday started with and early phone call from Karen to tell me about Josh's wedding and his mom's pug dog rescue. Sadly, I couldn't go back to sleep after that and I was up and at em. After Corey went to grocery shop, I picked up the house. Put the stuff back on the walls, got the bookshelf back in order. I packed away a ton of stuff for yard sales and the such and vacuumed, dusted and cleaned. The living room is fantastic now! I even vacuumed off the couch, so that whoever ends up taking it will have a nice clean space to sit.

By then of course I'd had enough! I was tired, my neck and head were killing me and I just needed a nap. So I spent most of the afternoon watching movies on DVD while Corey watched football. No nap for me, my head just wouldn't let me sleep.

At 6 we went to J & A's for a delicious dinner! We had a roast beef, yummy mashed potatoes and carrots with a bit of brown sugar on them. Followed up with apple crisp it was the best dinner to be had! Norm and Cathy joined us and a good time was had by all. Then it was home and straight to bed. Holy cow, I wanted sleep, but I just couldn't. It was one more sleepless night with a headache for me. 8sigh* Guess I better cal land make a doctor's appointment. I hate to though, I mean, why won't they go away on their own???
