What a weekend.

This weekend I had precious little plans ... I had some plans to go out with one of the guys on Saturday night. Other than that, nothing planned.

Saturday I got up at a reasonable hour and made a list of errands/tasks that I wanted to accomplish before Tuesday morning. Granted, I knew that the list was horribly long and that I might not get everything accomplished but it gave me a pretty good idea of what I would be doing.

I ran errands all Saturday morning then came home to do laundry and some gardening. Between Saturday and Sunday, I finished putting in the garden (cucumber, green beans, peas, lettuce, zucchini, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, yellow and red peppers), weeded a bit and filled the birdfeeders for the enjoyment of my cats.

I also put together some flowers for the yard (impatiens and geraniums) and hung a couple of hanging baskets (geranium and fuscia) for my viewing pleasure.

On Saturday night I went out with the young'un to dinner at the Nickle Plate up in Fishers (yum) and from there we commenced to the VFW for shuffleboard and beer. We ended up just drinking beer, getting harrassed by Eddie, an 81 year old WWII vet. Eddie wanted me and the young'un to get married and I mean immediately. As this is not in my plans for the young'un, I politely demurred. Eddie was funny and made some great jokes and hell, he's 81, if anyone can say what they want it is an 80+ year old. You all think I say what I want now, wait until I am 80+.

Sunday was all about a few more errands, chores and an eyebrow wax. The eyebrows look a hell of a lot better, IMHO. I finished up the garden stuff. I then went upstairs and cleaned out my dresser of all the 'winter' stuff and changed it out to the summer stuff. I also pulled out quite a bit that is going immediately to Goodwill, as I am sick of it or don't want it. I laid in the sun for about a half hour and tried to just relax.

I took a nice nap, then cleaned out my guest bedroom closet for Monday's tasks. I finished laundry.

Monday was all about tearing out the guest bedroom closet. Yes, I took down the plain white wire closet thing, patched the holes and repainted the closet. I have a new closet organizer that is going in there, I just did not do that yesterday. I also stained the window seat in the guest BR as it was looking rough. In between paint drying and stain drying, I cleaned out my office closet. It looks much much much better. I now have a pile of stuff to get rid of plus a ton of paper to shred. I have filing yet to do but I am hoping to get that done on Wednesday night. We shall see. At the end of the day, hot, sweaty and tired, I drove to Qdoba and got a burrito for dinner. I was starving.

Repainted my toes, collapsed into bed.

And that was my weekend. :)
