So much going on the past few days.  Yesterday we were gone all day.  Did some shopping, i had to have a blood test, and we had lunch with Colton, which is always fun.  EO got to have his first experience at the Olive Garden.  He is hooked.  Being I can't really eat pasta, it was hard to figure out what to eat.  I wanted more than just the soup, salad & bread sticks.  Granted, they alone are a fabulous meal, I decided to order some pasta.  I didn't eat a lot of it, but it was sure good.

Today I workout, and then I workout a little more.  But we sat down today to figure out just how much money we need for the trip.  We already had a ball park, but today we really crunched the numbers more to make sure we are in our budget.  I think, we have all the money we need, but we are still going to save a bit more, because we don't want to be short and what we don't spend, ... well, I love coming home with money. 

One of the projects EO plans to do while we are gone is have the tile laid in our bathroom.  11 years with that carpet, ICK ICK ICK.. ICK!!!!   ICK!!!!  GROSS ICK!!!!!    Needless to say, I am oh so thankful he is doing that while we are gone, I don't want to even see that carpet!  I am also going to have him paint the bathroom.  We already have both the tile & paint, and we have the adhesive too. 

We were given a gift today.... very unexpected, we are humbled by the gift and over whelmed.  We are putting it towards our flooring.  Now that we don't need the little bedroom, but we desperately need new carpet, the wall is coming down.  We talked about the treadmill & elliptical, and the printer among a few other things like the games, puzzles extra bedding for guests, all are stored in that room, and what we could do with them.  We have it all figured out.  I love the idea that we can open up the living room again so we will have more room in there.  I also love the idea that we can use the treadmill & elliptical and watch tv (cause it is just so boring with nothing to do).  We can always turn them sideways if we need more room too.  And we are going to paint the living room.  EO says he is tired of Orange.  We figure we will go with just a creamy/light tan.  The same for the carpet, a multi color burbur. 

So shopping we will go... tomorrow.
