What a weekend!

It was very nice having another 3 day weekend. Last week was the first time since the week before Thanksgiving that I had to work a 5 day week. It was tough! Thanksgiving I worked 2 1/2 days. I had cortisone shots twice, so had 2 short weeks for that, took 2 fridays off in December, plus Christmas week and New Years week. That was a nice stretch! At least it was only one week and this is a 4 day week. But then I think it is 3 weeks straight of 5 days. URGH! Oh well... real life, right?

This weekend was CRAZY! I was so tried from last week that I had to cancel my plans for Friday night (a date, but obviously I'm not that into him, or I wouldn't have cared how tired I was!) I was in bed at 8pm on Friday night! I can't believe it! And my alarm woke me at 8am! WOW! Guess I needed it.
Saturday was non-stop. After I got up and did some cleaning and had my coffee, I went to a 9:30 bootcamp class. It was fun, but tough. Then I spent the day with my family at Patriot's Place. My little brother and his girlfriend were in town (well they still are until tomorrow, but I won't see them anymore, so past tense for me I guess!) They came down with my parents to see my new place then we all went down to Foxboro, walked around the shops, had lunch at CBS Scene then went to the Bass Pro Shop. It was fun, but not something I need to really do again, well, unless it is for the restaurants. There were some other places I wouldn't mind checking out. I'm not much of a shopper and not much of an outdoorsy sort of girl either, so the Bass Pro Shop isn't really my thing.
Anyway, we got home from that around 4:30 or so, and at 7 I was at a friends house for the night and we played a million games. She invited her family too, and it got pretty loud and roudy. I was ready to go when I left just before midnight.
Sunday was just as insane, if not worse. I started the day with my cats waking me at 7am. I did some cleaning around my apartment, had breakfast and was off to a 9am yoga class. After that I was at a 10:15 Zumba class. Never tried it before and now I LOVE it! SO much fun and I can't wait to take another class. I'm already signed up for next Sunday! I might take one with my friend Jess on Thursday night where she teaches. It was SUCH a good workout! Sweated my butt off and it was FUN!
I got home, hopped in the shower and went up to my parents house. My brother passed out the Christmas gifts, then we all went to my grandparents house for dinner. It was yummy as always and I ate way too many desserts, but with all that working out, it was ok! :)
Grandpa pulled out the slides at the end of the night, with the projector and screen. We looked through pictures from the late 60's. It was pretty funny!
My family was getting pretty loud and crazy by the end of the night and I was ready to go home. I shut the TV off at 9 and crashed imediately! I woke up at 7:15 today (again, the cats woke me!) and started it ALL over again!
Today, I did some picking up around here, ran the dishwasher after coffee and cereal. I left here around 9:30 and headed over to the old apartment. As soon as I got there, I started a load of laundry (that I brought with me). Then I went upstairs and got more clothes together for more laundry. I left there about 10:30, hit the ATM, and then went to another bootcamp class. (4th class in 3 days if you weren't counting!)
I got back to the apartment around 12:30, checked the laundry and kept on going upstairs. I picked up a salad for lunch and ended up staying over there until around 3 or so. I went through bags I already packed up and got even more to donate! Once I get into it, it is so much easier to TOSS! I have a bunch of bags for trash inside the apartment after I already filled up one trash barrell! And another 5 bags to donate. I'm going to wait until after next weekend before I call the Veteran's Association again. I'll have them come next week. I should have even more to donate then.
I took back 4 laundry baskets of clothes, one duffel bag, one trashbag and one suitcase. ALL FRIGGIN CLOTHES! I'm almost out of room at the new place! I have to figure out what I'm going to do because I still have a ton of "keeps" in the old closet! This isn't good! Hopefully I can get rid of even more.
I'm not sure when I'm going to finish this. I have my legs/abs class tomorrow night. I want to go back to the old apartment after that class to get stuff out of the dryer and do one more load of laundry. And hopefully I can bring a few more things back with me to this place, like more shoes and maybe stuff in the closet.
Wednesday night I have my no longer once a month class. Last month we decided to continue the group but to only meet 6 times in 2010. I wasn't going to do it originally, but with only meeting 6 times, that should work. Thursday I want to go to my friend Jess's Zumba class, and Friday night I have a date. (YEA! I like this one too!) Saturday is cross country skiing all day, then Sunday morning I have a cardio sculpt class at 9 and Zumba at 10:15. Damn.. I don't stop! :) I hope my uncle can come by my old place on Sunday to take out my washer and dryer and bring it to my parent's house. But I need to make sure I'm done with my laundry by then! SO.. that means I need to stop by there on Saturday to do this weeks laundry and be finished with it. URGH!

Hmmm... what else did I want to write about!
OH! My 101 list. I've been slowly working on it. A lot of things are sort of rolling. I know that with moving, I will be doing the recycling every other week. The box is at the bottom of my stairs, right next to my front door. It is pretty full right now, but it won't get picked up with tomorrow's trash... next week.
And with the energy saving light blubs, I do want to change them, but I think it is slightly counter productive to just change good light bulbs to energy savers, just to change them. Isn't that worse? So I am going to wait until these burn out, them replace them with the engergy savers.

I guess that's it. Now that it is after 10pm, I should probably go to bed. The morning will come quick and this week is going to be CRAZY! OH!! Getting my sofa on Thursday! :) Very happy with that. No more laying on cushions on the floor!
