Happy day ladies !
I got all the carpets cleaned and hope they completely finishing drying today - think the weather will help - I'll open all the windows again today and keep the fans going. It got so cool so fast yesterday I turned the heater on last night to speed the drying process !
But the day was beautiful - and I was inside !
Oh well, I love seeing less dirt on the carpets. With the dog who lays in the dirt and passes it to the carpet, and DH who is in underground construction and refuses to remove his shoes in the house, it is a never ending battle I will always face. Need to hang those valances, make my new color coordinating pillows and then the living room will be completely finished. Then the dog needs a haircut and bath ! Hoping to get to some painting too before DH starts putting in the new doors and jams.
Xmas shopping for me has been greatly reduced this year !
Gave the kids some of the Sharks tix for Xmas and both sides for nieces and nephews are to the point where I don't have to buy for them any more. 20 less gifts for me ! Woo hoo. Will pick up a few things for my kids and grandson and DH. Will have to figure out a couple others and then I am done. Thus a little more $ than I expected to help with the updating the house. At 30 yrs old it is in need of a facelift. I'm pretty handy and DH is too so we can tackle a little at a time.
For my workout it is supposed to be Kick Max, but I still have a tight upper hammie from a couple of months ago. It popped just over a month ago while doing kickboxing and I still have to be very careful - I can't seem to get it to stretch out much so have to modify. The Sharks are playing at 4 so I am thinking a good TM run with some hills thrown in while watching the game will be perfect !
Wendy - have a fun day - sounds very productive too. Hope the workout went well and DS takes a L O N G nap today for you to prep for your company! Did your meds kick in yet?
Diana - congrats on the adoption. I love having little ones around and can't wait for the 2nd granchild this spring. DH's family is mostly in town and there are 8 nieces and nephews and one great nephew. Love the family get togethers. In fact, it will be at my house for Xmas and there are usually 30+ so part of the reason I am "whipping" through the redecorating as fast as I can.
Glad you are having sun there too. It is nice, but we do need some rain too. I think the slower transition of a weather change has kept most of the "bugs" away for us here.
Angie - you are correct that I am in No. Calif. and the fires are far away. The first one in Montecito is just south of where I grew up, Santa Barbara though and I know the area well. In fact, got married there the first time. It is a beautiful area with many small canyons heading up to the hills. Sparse with loads of trees and shrubs for fuel. Many prominent actors own 2nd homes there since it is only an hour and a half from Hollywood. Can't believe the winds ! But they are very common at this time of the year. Sad.
Laura, Jen, Shirl - hope your weekends are going well and everyone is healing.
Should BBL to check on y'all.
