A day off

It's 10am and I'm sitting at my kitchen table at home. I have the day off. But don't get too excited for me, I have to work Labor Day in a couple of weeks, so I suppose it all evens out.

But since I have a free day, yet nobody else does, I'm hoping to be very productive today. Actually, I already have been. I've already accomplished a couple of big things on my list. One - I'm not quite ready to talk about yet (the suspense is killing you, isn't it??) and Two - I got a crock pot full of NC BBQ simmering on the counter.

Now onto what's next... I had planned to make a trip out to the outlets in Mebane today, just because I can, and because I want some new Yankee Candles, but I think I've decided against that since I'd prefer to save the gas and the money I'd spend once I got out there.

I have a couple of craft projects that I need to finish and/or start on, so that's my main goal for now. I started painting one of the cabinets in my kitchen, just to bring in a little color (since they're all white), but never finished. Right now I have one random square of Oyster Bay colored paint in my kitchen. So finishing that up in priority #1.

Secondly, I've decided that my wall photo collage that I put up in January is not working for me. I love the way it looks, but at the same time, it's a bit of a pain because the pictures are constantly getting out of whack. Which is very hard for someone as anal as I am about my house. Plus, I accidentally broke one of the big frames and I just don't think I like the whole thing enough to replace it. So I'm working on a new wall project and I have a couple of ideas of what I actually would like to make for it. I'm so not a crafty person, but I'm feeling more and more so this week. Let's hope it lasts! Or it may just be delusions of grandeur...

OK, now it's time to actually get to it. Onto project #1!
