Ten on Thursday...(instead of Tuesday)

one...

I am actually working on a new project at work. The same client that owns the condo in Montana is buying a house in Rancho Santa Fe. It is huge. It's on 6 acres of land and the house is about 6,000 square feet. We are calling it the "adobe" house. I am so excited about starting a new project. For the past 2 years all I have been working on is Mustardstone and Barn. Barn is complete and I am right in the middle of Mustardstone. Change is ALWAYS good! Right now I am doing what I call shlep work. I am putting the walls in AutoCad. It's not like this house is square or anything. the center courtyard is a huge circle and all the rooms are based on this circle. Once I am done putting all these walls in then the fun starts. I will start designing!!!

I need to wash my truck BADLY!! Lil'D has his waffle in my truck every weekday morning. That is all I let him eat. There are waffle crumbs everywhere in the backseat. I have collected receipts, papers, water bottles, stuff and it needs to be cleaned out, vacuumed and the outside washed. It rained on Tuesday and it looks like someone poured a bucket of dirty water on the sides of my truck. It is white. This is the filthiest my truck has EVER been. There is no excuse...I will be cleaning it out TONIGHT!!!!

three...

I actually did something crafty last night. Melissa at PinkPaperPeppermints is having 31 crafty flowers in 31 days. The first day she made tissue flowers. I sat last night and made two small tissue flowers. They are so pretty and festive. I want to make more!

four...

I took some awesome pictures this past weekend and I haven't had time to upload them!! I really need to make time for these. I can't wait to share them.

five...

Is anyone else as disappointed in American Idol this season as I am? I'm just not into it. These people just aren't that good. They are ok, but I'm just not excited by them, I'm actually bored. My prediction is David Cook to be the next American Idol.

I went for a run on Monday night. It wore me out so much that I fell asleep at 9pm on Tuesday night. I am going to run again tonight! Then on Saturday morning I am going to walk Cowell's Mountain with Chica. It is a steep mountain and it kicks your booty!!! Just what I need.

Has anybody else heard that if you don't eat something within 45 minutes of waking up your metabolism doesn't work as good and your body doesn't burn calories as fast as it would if you would have eaten something. I have been trying all week and I just can't do it. I love my sleep too much.

eight...

Our ten year wedding anniversary is coming up and we are trying to plan an inexpensive weekend. I'm not having any luck so far. Hopefully we come up with something. 10 years is definitely deserving of something special!!

nine...

I can't stop dreaming at night. I have the weirdest dreams. I wonder what makes you remember some dreams and you can't remember some. The dreams I had last night were silly! One dream I had found my Dad traveling in a truck. He had set the truck up to go in reverse by itself. The wheel slipped and it started going crooked, but it didn't hit anything. I jumped in the driver seat and tried to steer it the right way. I ran into all kinds of stuff and it was going really fast. My Dad finally told me to put my foot on the brakes. I looked down and there were 10 pedals. I had no idea which one it was. I had to hit them all. I finally stopped it. I asked Dad..."what would you have done if I hadn't come along?" WEIRD!! I also dreamed that I had my appendix removed and had gone back to work. Some men in brightly colored tshirts and funny hats came in asking us if we recycle. They were being really pushy and one of them pushed me out of the way and had gotten to our trash cans and was yelling look at this, can you believe this? One of them got their camera out and I was trying to stop them, but I was too week. I was calling for the installers to come and help me...that's when I woke up. WEIRD!!

This is my itinerary tonight when I get home:

• clean out my truck
• download pictures to Flickr
• work on my afghan

Simple huh? I hope so!!
