Lots of people are questioning what we will do with all of our FREE TIME now that the wedding is over. First of all, our sisters and Lauren planned everything so it really was not that time consuming. Second, there are thank you notes to write. Plus all those things that got put off during “wedding planning” (i.e. doing errands Biz, Elli and Lauren told us to do).
Seriously–where does time go? I think THAT is what we should spend $700 billion on–the time management bailout. Its like frickin’ quick sand. I am trying to learn that the harder you fight against quick sand (losing time) the quicker you sink (Murphy’s law takes over). But alas, I cannot help setting goals. And of course dragging Paul along with me. Here is what we are working on now:
- Replacing our flooring. We plan to install laminate floors before the end of the year. We have saved money from combining our homes–every time we sold furniture, bedding, pots, pans, etc. that we had extra, we put it into savings. We will be getting the estimate from Graham soon, but we think we have enough saved.
- Myrtle Beach Marathon and Metric Century Ride. Sat, Feb 14 we will run a marathon (Paul’s first), then Sun, Feb 15 we will ride a metric century bike ride (63 miles). Yes this is our idea of a romantic Valentine’s weekend. Last year I cried on ski slopes and tore skin off my ear, this year I will whine for 26.2 miles. Paul is such a wonderful guy, huh?
- Paint the bathroom. Carolina blue of course.
- Set up our family website. CHECK!
We have everything done but Myrtle Beach. Looks like you are going to have to make some more goals.
