Summer Holiday Weekend Recap

Hello and happy Monday to you!  Did you melt this weekend?  My Lord it was hot.  And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend?  Dig out a tree obviously.   😑   Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye.  We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.)  Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea.  We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't.  We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots.  We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it.  Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...

Neutral Weekend Recap

'Sup y'all?  Monday is upon us.  I must tell you that if you want a really good workout, just get this toolbox and go up and down on it all day painting.  My mom got it for the Mr when we got married and it's the most evil form of hamstring/glute exercises you can do.  Holy poopballs!

So yes, that would mean I actually painted the bedroom Friday!  



I'm going for a nice neutral that isn't gray anymore but wanted to try a griege and got Benjamin Moore's Tapestry Beige.  (I think it's not coincidence that the initials for the paint are BM because that's about what I had when we bought the paint for eighty friggin' dollars a gallon!  Y'all who are used to that price, tell me where your money tree is.)  

Here's a side by side of what we had from what we went to.


Nothing Earth shattering but we've got gray walls everywhere and I wanted to lean more toward a parchment with everything else that's going to be going on in there...eventually.  I still have some touch ups to do because of course there were some molly screw holes to be filled and sanded.

Speaking of which, do you like my new nightstand?


Nothing like a spackle bucket to balance your morning water, pills and phone on in between boxes of flooring to wake up to every morn.  

Otherwise, it was a low key weekend because my body was BROKEN on Saturday and the Mr needed the rest too.  Sunday we did this workout and got our butts handed to us so I'm sure we're broken again today.  Yeesh!

The Mr has an appointment with a new doc today.  If you could send out some good vibes that he's able to give us some answers from his MRI, that they're good ones and he's not a douchebag which seems to be harder to come by.

How was your weekend?
