Weekend Update (Where's Chevy Chase when you need him?)

Long but productive weekend.

Much thanks to tessathehuntres, hearne, the Teenager and the Munchkin. Not to mention my faithful sidekick dicea. LOTS got done.

*Master bathroom is FINISHED!. Hearne got the crown molding cut and up. And the Teenager got the over the toilet cabinet put together and up.
*1/2 bath just needs the crown molding painted and up, but it's been cut so the getting painted and up part is easy. (Dicea says that the paint job makes it look like a French Whore's Privy. I'm not sure what to think about the description).
*Guest bath's wall paper has been stripped (a project I'm so greatful to the huntress and teenager for).
*Kitchen has been stripped.
*Dresser has been moved to the spare room so that is now officially done as well.

I am once again ahead of schedule! Next weekend i'm thinking of either taking a weekend to myself again, or going by myself to the Doma and painting the guest bath. I have the paint and I like the painting in solitude. It's very relaxing. I might also stain the window and put a base coat down in the kitchen so when visrose comes out at the end of the month it's ready for the tuscan plastering technique.

I need to redo the curtain I made for the 1/2 bath but that's jsut a matter of pulling out some whip stitches that are holding pleats in and repleating to make it fit the window better.

I forgot my camera this past weekend so maybe next weekend I'll take it with me to take pictures.

Easter prep was interesting. It was hard not having mom there. I tried not to let it show when it was getting to me. But just carried on and got things done that needed to get done. Coloring eggs with the munchkin. Prepping and making the feast for Easter dinner.

My aunt was unable to make it due to her father being in the hospital with pneumonia, but Uncle Alan came for dinner. Was good to see him and he said he liked all the things I've gotten done with the house so far. Next time they see it I hope to be pretty much done with the painting and curtains. Flooring will probably not be done though. But still.

Missed the Boogie this weekend but she wasn't feeling well, and while her presence was missed, we all understood. I've missed a couple easter dinners due to being sick, myself.

but dinner consisted of a honey glazed spiral ham, escalloped potatoes (mom style), corn, green beans, veggie relish tray (done mostly by the Teenager and the Munchkin. Many thanks!), pickle relish tray, deviled eggs (put together by the Munchkin), hard boiled eggs, and a pass it around the table salad bar, along with rolls. Alan brought the very yummy cupcakes my aunt made for dessert. And we had Gizzies (made by the Dicea) for munching on all throughout Saturday and Sunday.

But the best part thing of the weekend... Dicea made home made raised donuts!!! OMG Yummy!!!

I didn't get much sleep this weekend for various reasons so I'm probably going to be grabbing a bite to eat and heading to bed very soon.

eternalmusings, if I'm awake later I'll call. I'm sorry I didn't last night but came home and crashed right out. I'm not sure if I'll be awake much past 7 tonight either. But I will call before the end of the week.

Overall I'm happy with how my first holiday without mom in the Doma went. But for now... I'm gonna go rest.
