HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY

I hope you all had great weeks and weekends. We took our getaway trip and had a great time albeit too short.  I took tons of pictures and will do a write up later this week. The air conditioning went out on the car on the way home, but at least had the decency to wait until we were home and I didn't actually discover it until Saturday morning. So that is on the top of the list to get handled.  Running short on time this week so will make this short and sweet.
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
It's gray and ugly, but at least 15 degrees cooler than last week when it looked the same.  We are experiencing a few thunderstorms in and around the area so am not sure what it will be like in an hour and the humidity is still REALLY high because of it.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE
A scrambled egg and toast with coffee.

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
I'm happy with how things are moving along. I found an overstuffed display chair for the living room that I need to find an ottoman for, but all in all I'm getting more excited about being done.

WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS
  • I spent last Saturday doing LOTS of laundry and cleaning, but still need to vacuum the living room and work on the donation inventory for the pile to be boxed up.  Today begins day 121 of the 30 day project, but it is still going strong so I'm going to stick with it for another 30 days at least.  We are now up over 6000 items and loving it.
  • Grocery shopping
  • Some mailing and shipping
  • Studio sorting and organizing
  • Get an estimate to fix the air conditioning on the car
  • Get an estimate on the drywall repair in the living room
  • Some ebay listings
CURRENTLY READING & TELEVISION / DVR
We're finishing up the recordings from last week from when we were away. I really want to finish cleaning out the DVR before the fall season begins.

  5. I'm so glad you had a great time on your trip and can't wait to read all about it. Yep, I'd put fixing the a/c at the top of the list. We have our home a/c off right now because it's so nice out but I know this most likely won't last. Hope you are having a wonderful week!
