Today: White water… crafting.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Nick spend the weekend with his groomsmen and friends white water rafting.  Clark and I spent the weekend sleeping, eating and, um… crafting.

After finishing up a top secret project (a TSP, if you will) for my lovely bridesmaids, I tackled a few other things I’ve been meaning to accomplish since, like, last August.  From keeping our paint colors organized to finding a way to keep my necklaces untangled, I checked off more than a few (non-top secret) projects over the past few days.

I got my car tuned up (it has officially become a money pit on wheels), had my first wedding dress fitting (I can’t wait to show you pictures, but… I need to wait to show your pictures), cleaned like wild and spent as much time outside as possible.

How cool is that bird’s nest?  Very recycled chic… though I don’t recommend embellishing your home with TP left in a city park.  I spotted the nest while taking Clark on an extra long walk last night.  He was more interested in the mouse running up the sidewalk.

I rounded out the weekend with my first solo WOD.  Lame as it may be, I had never gone to CrossFit alone before this morning.  With Nick two states away, I could have easily skipped the workout and slept in, but I knew I’d be better off (wo)man-ing up and getting after it.  Not surprisingly, I was glad I went.  The workout was really fun, and I love knowing I am getting a little better and stronger each time I show up.

While I may have not needed a helmet or paddle for my weekend, it certainly feels like I got a lot done. (As I write this, though, I just remembered I loaded the washer… but never turned it on… hmmm.  Can’t win ’em all.)

Do you have projects waiting to be tackled?

    I got my car tuned up this weekend, too. Was definitely due for a 5k mile tuneup.

    I should make one of those necklace frames. My jewelry is all a mess, and I think I forget about what I have, when it’s all stashed in a pile. Is it just a board (corkboard?) + a frame + some pins/nails?

    Where did the boys go for white water rafting? I’ve only gone a few times, but I’ve only ever been to this one place in Maine (I forget where, but it was quite a drive!)

    I see Martha Stewart paint chips. I want to just collect those everytime I’m in Home Depot. So pretty.

    I need to take my car in…I am the worst at maintanence!

      We used a number of Martha’s colors when renovating our condo– they really are so pretty. I couldn’t bear to toss the paint chips once we finished. 🙂 As for cars, I wish they took themselves to the mechanic.
