Five for Friday - Honey Do

I am so happy today is Friday.  I have lots planned for this weekend.  Here are five things I hope to do.

1. Finish painting the kitchen.
2. Paint the laundry room.
3. Paint the front door.
4. Fix our front storm door.
5. Pull the weeds in the front flower bed.

We'll see if I get it all done but I'm excited to have so many home improvement projects to do!

Wordless Wednesday - Healthy

Well Rounded

Today was such a well rounded day!  I feel so accomplished!  And it feels great!

I have worked a good nine hour day at the office, full of productivity, a visit to Starbucks and some weekend small talk with co-workers.  Talked to my mom and one of my best friends.  Came home and prepared a home cooked meal of arroz con pollo -- my first time ever trying to make it by myself (It came out ok.  A little bland.)  I relaxed a bit on the tv and computer.  Cuddled with my pup.  Danced with her around the house -- I wish I knew what she was thinking as we were dancing.  And did a super thorough cleaning of the kitchen in preparation for my mom and niece's visit in a couple of days while listening to John Mayer croon on the guitar.

Now I'm off to shower and get feedback from hubby on his home cooked meal I had ready for him when he came home from work.

Domestic bliss.

Not So Splendid

Just saw on a box of Splenda that one packet tastes like two teaspoons of sugar.

I use three packets per cup of coffee.

Yikes!

Another reason I cannot switch even if I wanted to.

Spring Cleaning

I'm cleaning and it's spring so I guess I'm spring cleaning.  I know I'm not doing the depth of cleaning that phrase typically implies but I'm cleaning my house in preparation for a Mother's Day get together we're housing.  Let me tell you...I am so excited!!!  I've had my mom and MIL over once before for Mother's Day and it was just a great experience.  I love them both so much and I get to cook and entertain and I'm just excited!  Anyway, off to clean. 

Have a good week!
