No blog post for yesterday. This week has been just great (yes, I am being sarcastic). In an effort to simplify and not have such a disjointed home, Phil and I have been cleaning out our closet and drawers. I had about 7-8 bags of clothes and shoes that went to Goodwill last weekend and after cleaning out the dresser and chest, we gathered two more bags.
My Beaumont house (pre-marriage) had 1900 square feet with 3 walk in closets. It didn't require me getting rid of clothes. I have done two clean outs (one before the wedding and one after) and we were still just overrun. I went ruthless with the clean out. It feels really great to be rid of the stuffed drawers and closets and actually be able to see what I have.
We cleaned the carpet in the closet Tuesday night. We will be doing our bedroom this weekend as soon as we have put away some of the stuff we have pulled out during the drawer clean out. I also need to go get some paint samples...we're planning on repainting our bedroom and bathroom and just doing an overall re-decorate.
Since the house was new when we bought it, all the walls are beige...thankfully, they weren't white, but completely neutral all the same. I need a little color. I think that will help this house feel more like a home.
Britton has had a pretty easy week at school...not too much homework. He's enjoyed being able to relax and watch TV and play with his dog in the evenings. Speaking of, Bentley is doing just great. We have to fix a spot under the fence where he has dug a hole and keeps trying to escape, but he's just the sweetest and is starting to take to us.
I have been working on a little Valentine project that I hope to finish up this evening, but we'll see.
Time to get ready for work.
P.S. I was proud of our new President yesterday in freezing salaries of congress.
