The To-Do List!

Well, potatoes are baking in the oven and in the meantime, I will use the time wisely and blog. :) Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was caught off guard by my wonderful husband. When I came home I was feeling a little unmotivated so I sat and rested for a few minutes, I started talking on the phone with a friend, and decided it was the perfect time to get off the couch and start re-doing the pantry at least (no funny smells there.) From there I jumped to the fridge and it wasn't quite as bad as I was expecting. However, throwing away some gravy got me a little queasy and then I was done. Hehe. Anyway, so Caleb calls me and asks me how I'm feeling and tells me that he wants to take me out on a date. :D Yayy! My love language is quality time so of course I jumped all over that idea. He took me to sushi (non-raw sushi people!) and then suggested we go spend some time at the House of Prayer. It really shocked me because he hasn't mentioned anything like that for a while, so I jumped all over that one too. Just as soon as he took me to Barnes & Nobles to spend my $10 gift card. :) Needless to say, I didn't get everything done, but I did accomplish most of my list. Here it is copied from yesterday...

• Vacuum the apartment! (hasn't been done since we moved in, yikes!)
• Clean out the frigde (MIL left too many leftovers)
• Organize the messy pantry. (to post before & after pictures)
• Deep-clean remainder of kitchen.
• Get all clothes off bedroom floor and fold accordingly.
• Spend time with Jesus alone.
• Blog my progress.

Not too bad, considering tomorrow is a day off and I plan on doing the remainder of my checklist and laundry. As well as baking cookies for my ladies luncheon. :D I want to continue with my reading plan tonight and tomorrow, so that's gonna be good. :) Hope you're enjoying my adventure. Still don't have it down (not even close!), but I'm working on it one baby-step at a time.

PS. Below are after pics. Before pics were too embarrasing to post on the web. Hehe.

the fridge. :)

catching up

It has been wayyy too long since I've blogged, and for that, adoring fans, I am soo sorry. (assuming anyone reads this, hehe). Ever since I found out I'm pregnant (9 weeks already, yikes!) it has been a whirlwing of emotions, nausea and slight downer-ness (for the avoiding of the use depression, don't like it.) I haven't really been feeling myself lately on a number of different levels; spiritually, emotionally, physically (obviously) and it's been wearing me down. Needless to say, my home has been in utter disaster for the last month or so. My bedroom is worse off than it was before (though, now beautifully decorated with a queen size bed! Thank you Mommy & Daddy for an amazing birthday present), laundry is wayy piled up and tonight was the first night I actually cooked a full meal since Dec 19th (the day we found out I was expecting). Needless to say, I have a lot of catching up to do. Good thing is, I get out of work tomorrow at 2pm and will be spending the rest of the afternoon cleaning and then will be visiting the House of Prayer later on in the evening. I need to spend time with Jesus, or I'm never gonna survive this pregnancy! I also need to continue to strive to have a relationship with Him and that's been lacking lately too. Good thing my head's on (sorta) straight and I'm getting back on track. His tender mercies are new every morning. :)

Anyway, here is the to-do list for tomorrow, and I will hopefully update then to let you know of the progress I'm making at the Arrazolo household.

• Vacuum the apartment! (hasn't been done since we moved in, yikes!)
• Clean out the frigde (MIL left too many leftovers)
• Organize the messy pantry. (to post before & after pictures)
• Deep-clean remainder of kitchen.

• Spend time with Jesus alone.
