Just Another Manic Tuesday

Yes, I was in mid-post yesterday and BAM, work! Yeah, I know I know, work in the middle of blogging? How dare it! So, here is the post from yesterday. ( And seriously, the heavens are against me blogging. Just as I typed this sentence, I had to run home because E locked himself out of my house....)

So, without further ado......Of course it would rain on moving day. I woke up Sunday, took the pups outside and BAM, its raining. Great! Oh well, because I had movers coming and my apartment was pack and I was moving. Hello, what great movers! They were quick, super sweet, wrapped a bunch of my stuff for free, and oh did I mention did not sweat all over my stuff? (ya know that grosses you out too).

But, I digress... After a very late Friday night (to the tune of getting home at 4am....) I was up early Saturday for a little 3 mile jog (without losing my stomach, thank you very much), breakfast with my girl CT, and then heading to the Aquarium in Grapevine for a little fun with two of the cutest munchkins in the world..... My mom showed up around noon, we headed to the house to meet the painter and then headed to Ikea! Yes, on a Saturday I took my mom to Ikea.... Dangerous, but such a good trip. Well, er if you think getting out of there with only spending $919 was good... hey, I needed a lot of stuff.

Post Ikea trip, we headed back to my apartment to load up more clothes and other odds and ends and pack. I packed and packed and then just decided it was a night. So with two carloads of stuff, we made one more trip back to the house... We arrived and then someome (whose initial is an E and seems to have a hard time with keys) lost my keys. As in we could not find them and had no way to get into the house. Did I mention it was like 90+ degrees? We looked in every box, and nook and cranny of my car and my mom's. No keys. So Mom and I headed back to the apt. I searched the apt to no avail. Finally I found my keys. Underneath E's car. As in I had to crawl on my hands and knees to find them, in a nasty parking garage. When we finally unloaded the car and such I just wanted to die. And this was only Saturday night.

But then, Sunday, moving day... rain. Like I said before it went pretty quickly and then I spent the day unpacking, arranging and building things (well I didn't build). I did manage a few small projects.

I finally recovered the dining room chairs.

And I painted this cabinet for my dining room.

And... the girls love the ottoman.

Oh What a Weekend!

So I had quite the weekend! It included playing mom to two young women, big hair, pageant walking, and moving.

I spent Saturday and Sunday morning with my pageant girls! This was Spring Meeting and they had a blast. It brought back memories from my days of competing, but so much better! This meeting was fun and informative. The new directors are awesome and have secured some great sponsors for the girls including shoes by Jessica Simpson and Sketchers and some cute opening number gowns! I sure did not get that great stuff when I competed! But overall I hope my queenies feel more informed and excited about pageant week. My Miss also got quite the lesson in Texas teasing and poofing and my teen learned the greatness of eyeliner & mascara (and a great pair of heels, oh what it does for the legs!). Love my girls and am so proud of them!

My Teen & Miss!

Sunday, after pageant, I headed home to my hubs and pupppers. Oh how I miss them when I'm away (but I admit a whole king-sized bed to myself for a night was great). Came home did a few loads of laundry and then headed to... work. But, not to work, well not that work, but to move offices! Yup! I got a small upgrade. We are playing a little office switch-a-roo and I got new digs! Promise to show pics soon, but I wish I had a before shot... From manly office to women's corner! Though I did have great help from hubs and my puppy-girl.

Then we headed to the-inlaws for a little grandparent time (Chloe loves her grandparents) and mexican food! All-in-all it was a fun-filled, whirlwind weekend. Here's to a great week in the new office! ~The Illegal Blonde
