springtime in jenniville

Last friday I took the day off work to do spring cleaning. The day started with a grueling workout and oatmeal breakfast. So I didn't get started cleaning until 10ish. My goal was to go give the whole house a through cleaning. Which included scrubbing every surface, purging possessions, and organizing everything.

Needless to say, it didn't all get done. I was extremely productive. I have a stack of boxes to prove it. Around 3 I realized it was time to get ready for the VMRC auction and I needed to put things sorta back in order. I also realized that it would be a bigger project than i first thought. I'll be working on it all week and weekend.

The auction was fun. I got a pair of Ralph Lauren sunglasses for $25. I also bought a tv stand and sold it to Patty. I had volunteered to take money again and Amy helped. So I didn't get away until 10ish. Then I headed up to Winchester for the Zion Mennonite Women's retreat. I almost didn't go, but I'm really glad that I did. I enjoyed hanging out with the other women and spending time thinking about our stories.

We had free time on Saturday afternoon, so I couldn't pass up the chance to shop at Target. It was a good thing that I went. I found a duvet cover, bedskirt, and shams for $35. It is almost exactly the color of my bedroom. I'm pretty sure I like it. I also shopped at Kohls, TJ Maxx, and JC Penney. I got home around 6ish.

Sunday I pretty much did nothing. I must have been tired from all the stuff from fri & sat. I did cook and make food for the week. So I wasn't a total slug.

Now you're all up to date in my life. Its really interesting that I have this very strong urge to totally clean my house. I'm also preoccupied with decorating it and finishing the last room. Mybe its nesting or maybe its just spring.
