A million miles an hour

Thats how fast my mind is currently spinning with ideas for the house. I honestly don't even remember half of my drive home because I was thinking about so many different things. Sad, but true. Im so excited! I thought I had lost that will, that drive, to do things around the house. But no! It's back. I guess I've just been down in a little slump lately so my creative juices haven't really been flowing. But a little looking around on pinterest and rearranging my living room Sunday was just what I needed :-)

I came up with 2 different "To Do" lists for the house. One list can be classified as a weekend project or less. Ya know painting something or making something. Not huge projects or anything that is going to cost much $$$! The other list is things that a lot of people could very well do in a weekend, but lets not lie, Zach and I usually take a little longer for certain things. Also this list consists of things that will cost slightly more $$$. Saving up for type of projects. I'm a very "I want now!" type of person. Very immpatient. I usually figure out a way to get or do what I have in my mind. Not in a snotty way, just a determined way.

One of the first things I'm going to do is organize our pantry.  Savannah can NEVER find anything in the pantry. Its half her putting no real effort in looking and half it being that big of a mess. Needless to say it's a cluster F right now and I love how nice and neat these ones are that I found on pinterest.

AND painting our table and chairs like this bright yellow. I'm thinking YES!!

maybe bright yellow patio furniture will take the focus off our snake pit  jungle lush back yard! At least I've killed most of the poison ivy. Go me.


Zach's birthday is Monday and I want to have people over for a BBQ to celebrate. I was given some very good advise by a friend on Friday about getting stuff done around the house. I kept saying I never had a party because there was always so much to! He said plan a party and that will light a fire under your ass to get things done! (THANKS Brian) That's totally what I need in order to get stuff moving. NO huge improvements between now and the BBQ (if it goes down) but enough to get me rolling in the right direction. Possibly middle of June or July a bigger fiesta and bigger projects completed.? Maybe.

So heres to getting stuff done and hopefully being able to shut my mind off and fall asleep at a decent hour tonight :-)
