Weekend Update!

Is it only Tuesday? I feel like it's at least Wednesday! Lee and I were busy little bees around the house this weekend, and yesterday was also eventful.

So, you know that we got our new bedroom furniture last week, right? Well, once it was time to put the tv on the dresser, I was like NO! We can't put that huge, old, tv up there (the screen is only probably 24 inches, but the entire tv itself is so big!) What if it scratches the wood? Lee got annoyed and said that he can't not have a tv in there. (Mostly because that's where he goes when I'm watching Lifetime movies in the living room :) ) Anyway, we ended up putting a towel down on the dresser and then putting the tv on the towel. Very classy and upscale design technique, if you ask me. Then on Friday night, we were eating dinner, and discussing, like we do all the time, how we really want a new tv for the bedroom and one for the living room (and one for the man room, but let's not kid ourselves that we would actually be able to afford 3 flat screens at one time). Long story short, we went to Best Buy just to "look" and left several hours later with 2 tv's! Kind of an impulse buy, but not really because we talk about it all the time. Technically we didn't really leave with both. We took the small one for the bedroom, and the larger one is being delivered this Friday. Why do we have to wait so long? Lee wanted to just take it then, but the guy freaked me out when he explained how the tv has to be held just so or the gasses will mix and blah blah, lots of bad things. So it's being delivered. Yay!! We've been mostly watching tv in the bedroom because the picture is way better!

Over the weekend, we also changed out a ceiling fan. Both of our first times to do that, and it was successful! I told Lee that he can now replace the living room light, and maybe we can find a chandelier for the entryway! He was not excited about the chandelier. Why can't I just do everything I want? ;) We also cleaned out the guest bedroom, which looks so much better now, and we cleaned out and organized the shed in the backyard! AND I CLEANED THE BATHROOM!!!!!! We won't discuss how long it had been since I cleaned it last.

Yesterday, after I signed up for the gym (!) I went out to my car and it wouldn't start! I hate car things. It had been acting a little funny all day yesterday, but I thought it was just me so I didn't say anything. Turned out that I just needed a new battery. Lee came and got me and then we had to go buy jumper cables and a battery. So I learned how to jump a car. It was kind of fun. I'm so thankful for Lee because I would have had no idea what to do. Even though I can always just call my dad who lives in the same town, it's not the same as having Lee there to take care of stuff for me. He learned how to change a battery :) Lots of learning the past couple of days!

Work has been super slow, so I have been working on my blurb book again. I changed the size and decided to just use blurb since I've heard from several people that it's just so much better than any other place. I'm excited to send it in!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Hehe... we recently learned to replace a battery, too! I feel somehow smarter for knowing these sorts of things. ;-)

Yea for new toys! I'm not gonna lie I love my flat screen! Cars are stupid when they don't work and that is all.

We're wanting a new tv for the bedroom too but of course we can't decide on what size (we had this same problem with the living room television--I wanted smaller, he wanted bigger). I want to see pictures of the new furniture!!
