weekend of relaxation

So i have 3 finals between me and graduation, the first two (10 page papers) are due a week from tomorrow. The other one (30 page paper) is due a week from Wednesday. I also have to write 3 one page blog entries for my class by friday. Did i work on any of that this weekend?? NOPE!! I have tried to just relax a bit and get ready to work on this stuff this coming week. I no longer have school to go to, just school work to get done, so i'm hoping to work on the blog posts tonight/tomorrow and then Tuesday get going on the two 10 pagers and then hopefully plan out the 30 pager by Friday. I have a dr. appointment on Friday and then Saturday we have to sign our lease at the new place, we're also going ahead and cleaning the apartment and moving in some stuff that we hardly ever use (i.e. christmas decorations, camping equipment, nice china, etc.) so i will begin writing those 30 pages as soon as i can on Sunday or Monday, all hoping to have it emailed in by Wed. at 5!!

Friday night we went out to celebrate Audie's new job and then we watched Avatar, it was pretty good. Not my favorite movie by far, but it could have been a lot worse for sure. Yesterday i did basically nothing, we even ordered pizza for dinner because i was not cooking. today we went to Home Goods hoping to find a new guest bedroom bed set. In our new apartment we have a full guest bath and since we'd be getting a new shower curtain and stuff for the bathroom, i thought this would be a good opportunity to get new bedding and curtains for our guest room/ office. It was hard to find something cheap enough to warrant getting rid of our current stuff, but cute enough to satisfy me, and not too girly to satisfy audie. We found NOTHING at HomeGoods that fit into that small window!! Everything they had was almost pastel, and not in our style at all!! So we went to Target. We looked at EVERY bedding set/Comforter/ duvet cover that they had! FINALLY we found this. We really only needed a comforter with sheets and curtains because technically we have a futon in our guest room for now, but i wanted something that would work later when we have an actual queen bed in our quest room. We also picked up two panels of Maroon/Red curtains for the window in the guest room, Navy sheets and a maroon shower curtain. I wanted to get new towels, but Audie was kind of done after the time it took us to find one we liked. So i figured i could look at what we had at home and then get some another day if i needed to. But when i got home I realized that we had some dark green bath towels, hand towels and wash clothes that we got when we got married but couldn't return for whatever reason. They match great! SO grand total was 22 for the quilt (on sale from 89), 15 for the curtains, 20 for the shower curtain and 20 for the sheets! I'm really happy with the result and happy that we got it all in place before our guests descend on us the weekend of graduation!!

ALSO we'll be having a yard sale shortly after we move so i'm going to be able to sell the curtains/comforter and sheets that we just replaced, so maybe we'll get a small amount for them and take our grand total down some. either way i'm so happy to have something that will last us for a while, because what was there before was what I had from my college dorm room, and we had been just waiting for a good excuse to replace it. Well that day has come and i'm so happy!!!

So that was our weekend so far! i know it wasn't too exciting to you guys, but i had a great time doing nothing!!

here's to having a week of working on homework so that i can have just as uneventful of a summer!!!
