This past weekend was a doozy. (Is that how you spell that word? Well, you know what I mean.)
I don't think I've ever been more productive in a weekend since I was in band and we had stupid Saturday rehearsals. When I was posting Saturday morning while watching Pioneer Woman (can I please have her kitchen, I beg Justin, everytime we watch her), I was thinking how I told yall all I was going to do, and how I didn't really feel like doing it. Had Justin been in town, I regret to say that I would have done nothing, but snuggle on the couch with him. But he wasn't, so I didn't.
I hopped to the task of staining a desk for the second bedroom at the Clinton apartment. Needless to say, I've never stained anything before so Mom and Dad were very anxious to see how it turned out. I don't have a before picture, but here it is after I finished. And I love it.

I was pretty proud if I do say so myself. I liked it so much that I decided to take a a shelf unit that's been stored away in my closet and do the same thing. Mom and I brought it out to the garage, and quickly realized that staining this certain piece wasn't going to work (sorry, we have no pictures). So instead, I got a bottle of spray paint, and make that sucker black.

bad picture quality, but you get the idea.

It fits in a perfect little spot in our living room, and I am in love. But Mom and I didn't just stop there. We decided to shave our Madison pups (they were super jealous of Beaux's new haircut). I swear we had enough hair to make coats after we got done with those little dogs, and boy do they seem lighter and happier. And then after that, we decided to bath them, bathes ourselves, then have a drink. And boy, was it a delicious, well deserved drink.
Sunday wasn't much slower. It's supposed to be a day of rest, but after church, I loaded the truck with furniture and headed to Clinton to move it in. I wanted to do it before Justin got back, and my plan worked just in the nick of time. I unpacked my stuff, and then lounged around while Justin snored away on the couch (all that gambling tired him out).
Then like I promised, I made Justin dinner. I found a recipe for BBQ Peach Whiskey Chicken from Pioneer Woman (love), and it was a tremendous success. I was too lazy (and tired) to get whiskey the day before, so I just left that part out, but other than that, I stuck true to the recipe.

I know it's not pretty like hers, but it was yummy.

I actually didn't get a picture before we started eating it. These are the leftovers, which makes Justin a very happy man. Now, I'm off in Meridian at a roofing company, counting down the time until I get to go home again..
I'm hoping this doesn't become a habit.
