So, I don't know if I broke the law or not. I am pretty sure I did not...but...here I am blogging about it for the record. I went out to Connecticut to visit two of my dearest friends. We've been tryng to organize a get together for a hundred years. Finally, we gave up on fun and agreed to get together to help Ashley get some projects done.
We worked our tails off for three days and accomplished so much! Not to mention this weekend happened during a nationwide heatwave with nearly 100 percent humidity in the North East. I don't think I have ever sweat so much in my life. I was thankful for two things: thankful I had made the effort in the last two months to regularly drink 100 ounces of water every day. And: that I grew up in the North East and was very comfortable in humidity. It just felt like home. Always damp, always sweaty, if I flapped my arms hard enough I could have started swimming through the air.
Even though we were working our butts off we managed to fill every second with fun. We did a matchy-matchy day with our leopard print t-shirts.
We worked, laughed, ate, talked, and occasionally took care of children. Mostly we worked. We moved Ashley's kid's bedrooms around so her daughter could have a turn having a room to herself. We cleared out her breezeway and turned it into the toy room. We set up a new bed frame, cleaned up and organized her bedroom. What else, we really organized and sorted stuff in every single room: bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, living room, breezeway, and even the garage and basement! It was impressive. Here are a couple of before and after shots of the breezeway:
The truth of truths, you can accomplish even the most unpleasant task with pleasant company. Every minute was a joy because I got to talk and laugh with these awesome ladies the whole time. I'd go back and do it all over again in a second.
