It's the end of the day, and I'm feeling really accomplished after the day I had. Still need to do a few things tonight, including running on the treadmill, but thought I'd write for a couple minutes.
When we moved into this house last year, I made the hard choice to put my piano in the garage. There really was no good place to put it, but I was sad because I really enjoy playing it. I have my keyboard in my room but it's not the same to play, and it's also harder for me to find time to go in there and play. The last few days I'm really been wanting my piano (among other reasons, I've been inspired by Rob Pattinson from Twilight--he's quite the pianist!), so I thought I'd try to rearrange furniture and make it happen.
So, this morning, I started moving it around. The Living room is arranged in a completely different way now. I'll be getting rid of the old recliner and maybe getting a video chair or something. Once I had that done I realized the piano was virtually inaccessible, due to piles of junk in the garage. I thought I'd work on it over the next couple days and then try to find some people to come help me move the piano inside.
The girls and I had some "school time" and then I took them to story time and we went to Wal-Mart. Home for lunch and a few things around here, and then we went to a produce store that also sells plant starters. I got some tomatoe and pepper plants, as well as some cilantro and spinach seeds to grow this summer. We got home and the girls were wanting to plant the sunflower seeds they got me for Mother's Day. There is a dirt area under the front window, but it was full of weeds so we tried to pull those. Some of them have big honkin' roots, so I poured some vinegar on them and am hoping they'll somehow be pull-able tomorrow. Then I decided to mow the lawn (which sadly has turned mostly to weeds). Since I had the garage open to get the lawn mower out, I decided I might as well clean out the garage. It still needs quite a bit of work but there is more than enough room to get the piano out. YAY!!!!
We surprisingly had sunny weather today (they were calling for rain) and the girls played outside a bunch, and we went to the park after cleaning out the garage. Played there for a bit, then headed home to fix dinner. We had steak and potatoes and veggies. I had my steak with grilled onions. Yum.
I bought a small bookshelf at Wal-Mart for the books in the living room and put that together tonight. Now it's time to do a bit of homework, run, and take a bubble bath! Here's hoping for another accomplished day tomorrow!
