Behind: Always Playing Catch Up

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted!  Sorry!!  I feel like I am always behind, always trying to play catch up.  Maybe one day I will be ahead of the curve?  Maybe?  Even when progress is made, it still feels like I'm twelve steps behind.  This is the first weekend since May that I have actually been at home.  It is pretty amazing. I got to do a little bit of shopping, got to sleep in and best of all - I wasn't in the car driving anywhere!!!

We FINALLY started going through all of the boxes of wedding presents.  It was like Christmas!  I forgot how many amazing things we got!  For about a nano-second we had a clean but together kitchen - then all of the chaos from the boxes erupted everywhere.  It looks like a bomb went off.  I'm not even going to post it because it is that crazy.  However - I did enjoy my first glass of wine last night out of our new wine glasses.

This morning, while I am writing this, I am enjoying coffee from one of my new coffee mugs (I say mine because I am the only one who drinks coffee, tea, etc and uses the mugs).

Ahhh chirp.   It makes me happy.  Britt hates our every day plates that I picked out.  They are Lenox Chirp (http://www.lenox.com/pattern/index.cfm?fuseaction=patDetail&wid=1&patId=1804)

I'm not even sure they are really me....but the colors make me happy.  I am picturing winter and no sun and being blah and these colors making me happy.  Almost all of the plates, etc are put away - we still have to find a few more in a box, but hopefully after today the kitchen will be put back to normal.  Britt is at the Bears game - so that is his project when he gets home.  My project today is to clean upstairs and get our master bedroom and closet put back together! This means trying to clean out some stuff too. Wish me luck! I need it!
