Girls Weekend

I just got home from the most awesomest weekend ever!  I went to Time Out for Women, which was great, but most of all I loved who I spend my weekend with!  My sister and I call them kindred spirits for all you Anne of Green Gable readers out there.  Some women you meet and you feel instantly comfortable.   I was tired when I got home but David took the kids to school the next morning so I could sleep in.  And the messy, messy house is sparkly clean now that the housekeeper has come and gone.  I guess I should go think of something extra to do.....like go organize a closet or something.....  Now that I think about it all the closets are already pretty organized from the last time David went out of town for a long business trip.  There is something about David going out of town for longer than 3 days that sends me into a frenzy of activity.  If I know he will be away for at least a week then we are allllll in trouble!!  Whole rooms get redecorated. The house gets repainted.  Things get moved into storage.  The kids come home from school to a house full of boxes.  "Whaaaa? Mom......are we....moving?"  "No!! The house feels cluttered, all this stuff is going to storage!  ISN'T IT GREAT!!!!"  David is always too busy with meeting after meeting to check up on me to see what the damage is.  He usually comes home, walks in the door, looks around, and looks to see if there are any changes.  Well, that and he's monitoring the bank account the whole time he's gone.  When it hits a certain *ahem* price point meetings or no meetings, calls are made....unfortunately.........if I'm in the middle of redecorating my creativity can't be stifled!!!  Anywho......so David left out of town yesterday.......................................................................


Luckily it's exactly 3 days!  We will not pass into the danger zone, heh...  Are the pillows on the sofa getting old?  Perhaps they need refreshing...   I have been meaning to redo my MANTLE!!!!!  I can see it now.... Two tall slender vase with sticks on either side of the mirror and a row of candles in between. Later!
