No Cost Decorating

Just like on Decorating Cents I changed some things around for no money. I used what I had laying around and re-created my blawg. I like it. I love to change around the furniture in the house like every 6 months so why not here? Although I only started this in Aug., I didn’t like some of the features of the first template I tweeked. I will make sure to bring back the sass tho, I really liked that and it was so me…:D

So….how have you been? Me? Well, I have been psuedo busy. I had a burst of synthetic energy (except I took the ULTRA kind) on Sunday. If you are like me and most women in america, you tend to bloat before that time of the month. No? Count your blessings then, cuz it stinks! I took some water pills to help me shed some unwanted poundage and although I knew it had caffeine in it, I didn’t think it would keep me awake as much as it did. I only took the equivalent of 4 cups of coffee in less than 4 hours, no big. Sort of. I didn’t fall asleep until 5:30 am, and that was after I read all my blogs, baked some blueberry muffins, caught up on like 10 shows on the DVR, and  make a breakfast casserole for Sunday School. Then I got up at 8:30 to get said cassarole in the oven to bake, showered and dressed and out the door by 9:30am. Let’s put it this way…I lost 6 lbs. of water in 8 hours. Yes, even that was worth staying up for!

When we came home from church, I ate some lunch, and then got a wild hair about buying more spoons and a rake from Big Lots. I came home with and 85 peice set of utensils and a rake and 2 table clothes and some foam weather stripping for the front door. Only a 1.99! I replaced the stripping, swept the front porch, cleaned the door both inside and out (muddy dog paw marks), raked the yard and then came in and plopped on the couch. I thought I was done for. Finally tired and ready to rest. Nope. I got up and went to the church to redecorate the bulletin board and table for Fall. By the time I was done, it was dinner time and Home Fellowship night out. We met up at a burger place and had dinner and chatted. I was so tired and my back was hurting by then. I had been going for 12 hours straight with only 3 hours of sleep. Needless to say, I went to bed early (11pm is VERY early for me) and slept like a hibernating bear until 7:15am.  I slept fairly well considering I keep tearing off my sleep mask every night and have no memory of undoing the straps, hanging it up on the bed post, and turning it off.

Wow, it’s late again and Jon is already in bed. I think I am finally tired enough to go there myself. See ya sooner-ish!
