It's been a long time since I got to enjoy my weekends fully. And now I'm about to experience a 3-day weekend!!! What?! Outrageous! I've done so much already on this Saturday, that I thought it was Friday. It didn't make much sense to me either since I worked all day Friday. I made an omelet to share with the family last night since my mom was planning on just baking fish sticks and French fries. I had to stop the madness...even if I decided to cook the fish sticks anyways.
Today I woke up late, ate a slice of my late-night banana bread for breakfast, went grocery shopping (where I slapped my eyes on a lovely piece of fireman), ate a lunch full of cheese, then I came home and did a mixture of picking up before the HoHoHokansons came over for the game/watching Wilfred on Netflix/painting the shed out back/reading/eating dinner.
That base of that shed has been a lot of things. It was from a friend from church. Apparently it was originally the base to a hot tub, they didn't want it anymore so my dad took it home with him. It was later turned into a sandbox...then a two storied play house with a gigantic slide (I remember eating girl scout cookies up there)...then I wanted to tear it down and turn it into a play house. I painted it green and added a floor to the bottom...and then it got filled up with my dad's stuff. I'm finally taking it back! I decided to repaint it since my friend is having her Bridal Shower at my house in the back yard. I want to decorate is so it can be a focal-ish point.
Ta-da!!! It matches the house too :) I must finish a second coat on the trim tomorrow. It's going to hopefully be where I put my pottery kiln! That's right!!! I also want to add wine/beer bottles around the bottom, like so:
I ordered my pottery wheel today! I'm super excited though also a little crazy over the fact that I still need $1,400 more for a kiln, and that's with a little saved up already. My parents want to loan me some money, but I'd rather it be over the "smaller" stuff like clay and other supplies. That's easier to pay back as I go. A little here, a littler there. Plus all those loans I have from school! Ahhh! It's not too bad, especially since I'm about to have 2 jobs. I put about $50 aside per paycheck to my savings, and pre-camp I was putting money on loans as well each paycheck. During the summer so that I could keep up I just paid as needed. I need to get back to paying on them every paycheck. The sooner those go away the sooner I can focus on saving up for getting the heck out of dodge....whatever that means.
I have to spring-clean my room big time! I will do that starting tomorrow. Another thing I'm also excited about purchasing are the 3 books of the Beautiful Creatures novels. I got a Target Debit card so I get free shipping AKA saving on gas so I don't have to go to the store. It has a 4th book but that's with pre-order since it's not out yet. Having money in the bank is dangerous, but I have to get my out-of-this-Vida-de-Emilia-experience somehow.
Super excited about my trip to New York Friday...so much that I didn't even realize it was so soon. Haha! The calendar is so strange to me. I look at it one day, and then the next it's on the wrong month! Time flies when you're having fun. I never ever hear what "they always say" but they say they always say it. Now that's a confusing mess.
