hello. my name is cjh and i procrastinate.

There are a few things I should be doing this morning that are work-related. On the To Do list is to take a few training courses, create a spreadsheet, and maybe have a teleconference. One course isn't until noon and I've heard no word on the teleconference. Ho hum.

What's not on the list: blog, try to figure out plans for the summer vacation, order Astros tickets.

It was an eventful weekend. Here's the list (in chronological order)...
  • Finished painting the living room orange. I like it. Now if only my new chairs would come in.
  • Cleaned. Bah humbug....who likes to do that?
  • Volunteered at the local neighborhood marathon. Those people amaze me. I had dreams of running one once upon a time. My knees had other ideas.
  • Had lunch for some peeps at my house. Good broccoli salad.
  • Thought, for the millionth time, that my yard really needs some work. Ignored it.
  • Went to the Home Show at the convention center. "They" (whoever "they" are) lied. It wasn't any different from the other one we went to a month or so ago.
  • Played frisbee golf.
  • Watched Stranger Than Fiction and The Holiday. The former surprisingly very good. Very different from his other movies. The latter made me and the brother's girlfriend make sighing girly sounds while the brother sat there silent. Could someone send me a cute foreign man? Anyone, anyone? Preferably one who doesn't sleep with the nanny.
  • Went to the craft show. Got in free (!!!) because I, too, turned 30 this year. Hey, I'll take the perks where I can get them. Bought some food items and a new purse.
  • Puttered around the house.
  • Thought of a few craft projects of my own.
  • Watched Unbreakable on tv. Not M. Night's best work...

So now I'm just biding my time till my noon training. What I'd really like to do is go to Hobby Lobby.

Hello cjh.

For a procrastinaor, you got a lot done over the weekend! I watched a little TV, worked in the yard a bit, and had dinner at Cheddar's on Saturday. Oh - and I did some laundry. Woo hoo!

My life is so glamourous.

I was thinking the same thing as Sis - you got a LOT done for a procrastinator.

M. Night will never be able to get another "Sixth Sense" out of himself...

I did some laundry and played with my baby. Oh, and went to church for the first time with the Drewster! That is an accomplishment, trust me.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
