We didn’t get picked to rent that house, and I’ve decided to move on from sulking about it and make where we’re at as better as I’m able to.  I’m going to start with trying to bring the front yard back to life and then just work my way toward the house and through it, like an army ant invasion of home improvement.  But on the cheap, cause I’m a renter.  A renter with chalkboard paint samples and a head full of home design blogs.       

Scuba and I have this weekend to ourselves.  We’re going to start it off right by heading to the beach tonight to get in the water.  I was doing yoga at 6 a.m. and hope to be in the water by 7:30 p.m., so that’s a good day right there.  I’ve found that if we go do something on a Friday night, even if I think I’m too tired to do it, it makes the weekend seem much longer.  I’ll be thinking all day Saturday that it’s Sunday, and then Sunday feels like a bonus.  And?  I need a long-seeming weekend this weekend.
