My Day of Luxury

Sam and a couple of his friends bought a rent house in Abilene, and we have spent a few weekends working on fixing it up.  Today Sam went to Abilene to work on the house, and took Hank with him to spend the day with his Grandma and Possum.  Which means-drum roll please-I HAD THE WHOLE DAY TO DO WHATEVER I WANT!!!  BY MYSELF!!!

*I slept until 10:00.  I woke up several times to stick my head out the bathroom window and yell at the dog because he spent the morning barking, but I did not get up to start my day until 10:00.  

*I unloaded, then reloaded the dishwasher.  I swept and mopped the floor.  By "mopped", I really mean I used the Swiffer wet pads and wiped down the kitchen floor.  It totally counts as mopping.

*American's Next Top Model Season 189 marathon is on! WOOHOO!!!  I knew Brittani would win.

*I drank a whole cup of coffee!  Before it even got cold!

*I cleaned out and organized my Pinterest boards.  I sometimes get a little Pin crazy and pin stupid stuff.  Am I really ever going to carve initials into little bars of soap?  Am I going to turn old spice containers into a shabby chic refrigerator magnet?  Why would I pin that?
   I did get inspired though.  Here are 2 Pinterest projects I did today:

*I took a long, hot shower.  I usually have Henry in his bouncer thing in the bathroom, and have to stick my head out of the shower every few seconds to check on him and let him know I am still there.  Showers are great when there's no one squealing and spitting right outside the shower curtain!
*I made 2 casseroles and froze them to have for dinner this week. Again, Pinterest recipes!

*Pinterest inspired me to try a homemade microdermabrasion paste to exfoliate and brighten my complexion.  I mixed baking soda and water into a paste, and scrubbed my face.  Some did get into my nose and felt like maybe it caught on fire. I don't have a  "Before" picture, but check out my "After" picture:

It totally worked. I'm glowing.

*I have wanted some Princess Kate shoes for awhile.  She always wears these nude colored heels and they go with everything and are fabulous.  I ordered some from Target today.  Hers are probably NOT from Target, but this is EXACTLY what I'm going to look like when they come in:

These shoes are going to instantly make me tall, super skinny, have flawless skin, gorgeous long dark hair, and dimples.

I miss my baby.  It's time for him to come home now. As much as I have enjoyed my day of nothing to do, I found myself wandering into his room throughout the day to look around.  I looked at his little clothes, organized his closet and dresser a little bit, and looked at some of his newborn pictures.  It was lonely trying to take a nap without him snuggled next to me, we always take our afternoon naps together. When he chooses to take an afternoon nap, that is.  I passed a park today and thought about how much he would have liked to go there today while the weather was somewhat cool.  I have about 30 minutes until my tiny tornado gets home and my "day of luxury" is over.  

I can't wait.
