Day 51 – Another Day of Crates

We did so much today with finishing my room.  It is so close, I got the last row of 3 put up and we also put the one in the bathroom and the printer stand up!!  Paul always helps so much I am so happy he comes out :)

I think I need to put one more in the bathroom and then I am really done :)

I got a new comforter because the new duvet I got just wasn’t working with the dogs.  I am not sure what the deal was, it was so much worse then than the other one I had.  I am currently washing my bedsheets so that I can make it and sleep on nice clean sheets tonight.  With these dogs I have got to wash the sheets – everything – every week.  If I could I should probably do it a couple times a week.  It’s just too much work.

We are making fish for dinner, of course we have to wait for it to actually get here.  I think I am going to move some pictures around tonight and try to re-hang my hard hats.

Here are some pictures from today – enjoy :)

Day 50 – The Day of Pictures

Had a great day at work today.  I have a ton of work to do this weekend but that is OK, cause I am gonna get it done!!

I stopped at Home Depot on the way home and got the couple supplies I needed for tomorrow’s project with Paul :)  I also stopped at Target to get some supplies for my craft project.  I have some pictures of the rough draft of it.  I am not sure that I am 100% happy with it, but I am going to let it be there for a little bit and see.

I talked with my co-workers today about an idea and I can’t wait to work on it a little bit, even if it doesn’t turn into anything, it will be good practice.  Will tell more about it later.  It really is more about creating a productive plan.

Tomorrow is one step closer to being complete with my room remodel :)

Magnetic Lightning Charger

Magnetic Lightning Charger Book Cover Magnetic Lightning Charger
NetDot
$9.90

This is an adapter that allows you to have a magnetic charging connection similar to the Mac Air power charging connection.  IT IS AWESOME!!!!  It is very small and basically has a lightning adapter that stays in your phone or tablet and there is an adapter that also goes onto the charge cable that attaches to the phone connection magnetically.

There are several manufacturers and types for this, but I got this one specifically because of the cost and the fact that you could still use your Apple lightning cable since I have so many of them.  I feel like this will be a much better, or easier, way for connecting charging cables.  With some, like the lightning cable it does not have an orientation, but for the types that do, this is going to be awesome.  I am going to see if they make other types of connection for sure and I am also going to purchase more of these :)

Update: So, I have been using this for a while and it seems like the iPad doesn't love the connector, keeps telling me it is not an authentic device.  I am also now having an issue with my new case on my iPhone 6S Plus not liking the connector.  The case I have is a Moment Lens case so I am not sure what the issue is.  I love the idea and I hope that they perfect this and make more connection types, but for now just my father is using it for his phone and that seems to be working out great for him.  Much easier for him to use it than inserting the regular charger.

Day 49 – Another Day of Cleaning and Organizing

I am working from home again today.  The dogs had me up for several hours last night.  I am not really going to be able to take much more of this stuff :(

I have a lot of things to do for work today, just really to get done this week.  I have got to get this sleeping schedule figured out because I can’t keep going on this little sleep.

I will check back later :)

I got all my packages today, windshield wipers to LED lights!!

I also got this awesome new thing for charging my phone, NetDot Magnetic Charger Converter & Adapter for iPhone.  I do have a case on my phone, but not a case that covers the bottom at all.  I did this on purpose because I don’t like messing around when I want to charge it :)

Well, I am about wiped out for the day so I am going to head to bed.

Day 48 – The Day of No More Boxes!!

I had asked my mom the other day if she needed any more boxes  for what she is working on and she said, I will just wait until you get more.  I made the bold, and obvious lie, that I was never getting another box.  So today I got 5 boxes :)  Ha ha ha ha, oh man, I am so funny :)

Last night was a very little sleep kind of night, the puppies were being a little bit crazy last night.  I have been having a little difficulty driving into work in the mornings.  I have never been one to feel sleepy driving like I might fall asleep, but lately it has been a strong feeling of sleepiness while driving and that is a bit risky for me.  With all that said, I worked from home today.  I had no pressing meetings, just lots of work to do.

I was able to talk my mom into bringing home Panda Express for dinner.  I just love that place – but I have got to stop eating there :)  It has too much sugary sauce :)

I got half of my craft project today, was supposed to get it all, not sure what happened to the rest of the package – just says delivery delay.  Maybe tomorrow it will come and I can take some pictures of it.

Enjoy the puppy picture!!

Day 47 – The Day a Penny Ran Away (From Me)

That Penny dog – she is such a BRAT!!!!  She got out of the fence and then when I finally found her she continued to stroll away from me.  Finally I just left her booty since it was so close to dinner time.  I figured she would come home soon and she did!

Today started my web demos at work and it went pretty well.  Didn’t have the participation I thought I would, but I think it is because of when the invites went out.  I am not going to worry too much about it, unless tomorrow is low too :)

I ordered some more crates to finish the wall.  I am hoping that they come before the weekend and I can actually get the other ones I need from the store, not just online like the ones I ordered today.

Alright, I am going to get ready for bed.  I was, and still am, yawning all day!!!

Day 46 – It’s Like Groundhog Day but Really it is President’s Day

I say this because the dogs, or more accurately Dime, is on a very specific schedule all of the sudden.  She must go outside at about 03:00 and then again at 06:30.  Nickel was more than happy to do it the first couple time, but now it is a real struggle to get him to go out.  It is just so funny how these dogs, every dog really, have their own special quarks!!

Now to get the day started :)

I got so much accomplished today.  I cleaned out my dresser, moved it out of my room, and stored the drawers and mirror in the shed.  The dresser itself was just too much with just me and my dad :)

Well, that really was just about it – enjoy the pictures :)

Yes, almost forgot, mom got me a huge train figure sculpture thing.  Will take a picture tomorrow :)

Before - way before!!

Day 45 – Valentine’s Day

It should be Laundry Day cause it’s always laundry day on Sunday :)  I MUST finish cleaning my room today, gotta clean that bathroom – how appropriate for today :)

Oh man I totally forgot to post a picture of what my mom got me yesterday from Kohl’s.  It is so cute :)  I have to make some minor modifications to it before I can post the picture :)

Didn’t realize I never came back to post the picture of the new dog :)

Day 44 – The Full House Day

EVERYBODY is here today except Carlos!!!  It is basically a full house, 3 dogs and 6 humans – WOW!!

I got so much done with my room today!  I am very happy.  I will take some pictures a little later to add to here.  I am going to do a couple more things and then I am done for the day!

I have my dresser cleaned out completely and also the nightstand.  So that is great progress.   I also did some stuff to the website, I did a family calendar so that we could put things on it, well mostly me :)

I still have some stuff to order, gonna get 2 more rugs to go around the bed and under the dresser and bench.

The dogs were a little crazy today, I know how is that different, well I guess it isn’t really :)  Paul brought Peterbrook chocolate and that was awesome!!  Alright, back at it!!

I think this wall is basically done :) Need to figure out pain and that is it :)

Day 43 – A Day Before Valentine’s Day That Was Valentine’s Day

Had to go downtown today for a couple meetings, but it was all very productive.  I even got a great parking spot :)

On my way home I had to stop to find something for my mother for Valentine’s Day.  My dad gave me $100 to spend on her and I did it with pennies change!!!  I got her a bunch of Lego figures and a Panera gift card, oh and a card of course.

I got my last big package that I had ordered for my room, a storage bench.  I can’t put it where it goes yet, but like I have been saying all week I hope to have that pretty well sorted this weekend.

I also must get to reading these books on training the dogs.  The longer I wait the harder it is going to be – I know this!!

I got my mom’s stuff at Target and it has been a while since I really just walked through there.  They have a lot of good stuff.  It is a little expensive, but they have always had some cool accessories for the home.  I was very impressed.

Dinner was chicken wings from Publix – can’t have much better of a day than that :)  Goodnight :)
