Manic Monday
Happy Monday! Did you all have a nice weekend?
We didn't do anything Friday night. Saturday DH had to work, so I cleaned, did laundry, and went to the BMV for my new plates. My college roommate came down for the night, so we did a few small projects, ran errands and went out to dinner.
Sunday we went to one of my friends houses so DH could look at a plumbing issue they were having. Then he ran a couple errands to buy some tools for the remodel. He started tearing up the floor! So our bathroom is officially out of order (except for the shower which we obviously need). We've moved everything into the tiny half bath, which I realized doesn't have an electical outlet.. so I wonder what I will do when drying/straightening my hair? We went and picked up our vanity! DH had read online that it was like 250lbs. It took 4 guys to get the box loaded into the truck.. I wanted to say "So you're coming with us to get it out, right?" DH was hoping that we would break the box down, take the vanity top off and carry it in two pieces. No such luck. As we were out there for probably about an hour, he started to call his sister to see if her boyfriend would come help. Then a guy pulled up in a utility van, "You need help getting that unloaded?" He helped DH get it in to the garage.. so nice of him!
That was all the work we did so far. Our house was a fixer upper when DH purchased it. We've really done a lot to it. But, tearing up the floor has brought up the old musty smell that the house used to smell like.. it's gross. Hopefully this goes quick!
ETA: Here's a pic of the vanity!

Re: Manic Monday
Saturday I slept a lot bc I didn't feel well. Sunday we had a relaxed morning and then I decided to do some baking. I made one of those pinterest cakes, vanilla white cake with blackberry mascarpone filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. It came out almost perfect! And I don't even have a mixer, I'm highly impressed with myself.
Oh, and just for goggles, I've been told that MIL posted this on FB, saying how she especially likes #19

I'm exhausted and it's only Monday! Saturday I caught up on cleaning around the house since everything got put on hold with the craziness of the first week back at work. Sunday I was doing lesson plans all day. I've been going to the chiropractor all summer for my back and was feeling better, but being back on my feet all day is making me worse again
