If I only got this much done at the office... With the exception of Friday night, I worked my butt off this weekend.

Saturday
8:30am - met with some moms at Kodi's Coffee Shop regarding Girl Scouts (I may be on the line for some participation in forming a troop at the school and somehow got roped into serving food at the Multicultural Fair next week)
9:30-10:30am - took cans and bottles back to the store, went to Miller Paint to get living room paint
10:30am - met Jen at my house where she helped me paint the living room
2:30pm - Jen had to go, I went to Nell's to get metal rack which Clint couldn't cut and then went back to the paint store for another gallon of paint
3:30pm - back home to painting the living room
7:00pm - made some dinner and finished sanding and caulking wainscotting in the dining room
9:00 pm - started to paint my bedroom which required a coat of primer first as the walls were so dark. I finished at 4:00am.

Sunday
I slept from 4:30-10:30 am on Sunday morning.
10:30am - 5:00pm - got up and painted wainscotting in the dining room and the base trim, touched up paint in my room, put up artwork and changed the curtains in my room, got a load of stuff for the Goodwill in my car
5:00-8:00pm - went to run some errands. I had many exchanges and returns to make at different places that had been piling up. These are the places I went in 3 hours:

Goodwill
The Apple Store - my replacement ipod was in - YAY!
The Container Store - exchanged an item
Circuit City - returned an item
Taget - returned various items
Meier and Frank - exchanged an item
Winco - grocery shopping
...and I was on time to pick up my kids from Jorge in Jantzen Beach at 8:00pm.

Whew! Just recounting it makes me tired. I think I've done enough crap this weekend to take the next month of weekends for relaxing (maybe cash in on that spa weekend). I am pretty happy though sitting in bed in my bedroom and seeing the walls that now match my bedding and the curtains and the artwork is up. I am enjoying the fruits of my labor. No more navy blue walls in here.
