Pre boarding stuff

The time I was unable to log on, was in a way, probably a blessing in itself. I was beginning to lag from doing some of my other chores at home (haha). We are going away for a week and I want to come back to a clean and organized home. I just didn't want to deal with piled up laundry, dirty floors, etc after our vacation, that will just prematurely start my done-with-the-fun-vacation-stuff-blues. The things I was able to do other than blogging:

• Went to Ikea to buy three more tall bookshelves and installed it in the home office.

• Unpacked all of H's 9 boxes from Japan that arrived here a couple of weeks ago. It contained all his childhood photo albums and school memorabilia. They were occupying more space in the garage, hence, the necessity of the bookshelves above.
• Cleaned out the garage! Well, as clean as it could get at this point. We still have a few things that need additional storage. We are in desperate need of an outside shed so we can park the two cars in the garage. For now, one car inside is the best I could do.
• Found a ton of picture frames from our move last year that were still in the box. We were able to put some of it up on the wall and some placed on the new bookshelves.
• Met with my friend Girlie's cousin for dinner before we left. I felt bad, she didn't want to eat much and with the time constraint, was only able to do a little shopping at Stonestown. I promised to make it up to her after I come back from vacation. Overall it was really fun to meet her. She was easy to get along with and reminded me of Girlie in more ways than one.
• had buried myself with work and by the end of the week was totally and truly ahead of it, I was running out of things to do. I was a sign I was really ready to go on vacation!

Didn't get to bloghop and visit my favorites....I miss reading up on everyone but will do it upon my return! Catch ya all later!
