productive

Last weekend was one of those weekends that makes up for all those that we were lazy bums and did nothing!  We did everything over the weekend.  Adopted Mira Saturday morning, and started the getting to know you phases that continued on through the weekend.  Last night was the first night her and Orion were not separated, not sure how much they slept, but they didn’t wake us up.  While the kitties were getting used to each other through a screen door, Chris finished writing his newest song.  And I broke out of my flower funk.  It wasn’t a bad funk, just a little one caused by finishing two large projects and not knowing where to go next.  I’ve made several bangles now, so I have been beading, just not flowers.  Well Saturday I went into the bead room took out some colors that I hadn’t seen in a while and just made small simple flowers.  Then color combos started popping out and I started making more.  I ended up with the petals done for 3 and a half more flowers.  And ideas for two or three more, and the next bigger project growing in my noodle.  It felt good!
Sunday was more getting to know Mira.  I spent part of the day in the spare room with her playing, and then taping the walls to get ready to paint.  I figured might as well since I was in there, I talked to Mira too so she’d get used to my voice.  That evening we watched a movie together. 
We had Monday off for Presidents day and this was the real productive day.  The kitties got to play loose in the house, they play pretty rough, but we’re pretty sure its just play.  The little hissing we had is mostly gone, except when someone play’s a little too rough.  We started the day by doing some shopping and bought a couple small things for the house, which made us think of what we wanted to be working on.  So we decided to hang up some shelves that I got for Christmas.  That wasn’t too bad so then we took down two of the three dividers between the kitchen and the dining room.  They are very retro 70’s themed dividers, and kinda neat.  So I left one up, although Chris really wants it taken down.  Finally we hung up some pictures from Jamaica that had been put to the side.  Those little things made a big difference in the house.  Which made us real excited to do some more.  Not sure how much will get done this weekend b/c I want to spend a bit more time making some flowers.  But maybe I can get something started.
Its not often we have weekends that we accomplish so much, but it sure feels good!
