What do you do with your free time??

So when you are a fairly active person and you get laid off what do you do with your time? Well for the first couple weeks Ron helped a buddy restore a vehicle. But once they got it painted Brian decided to do the interior with his daughter, it will be her car. So this left Ron with no project to keep him busy. He wasn't liking the result of watching TV reruns. So he did a little going over his trucks fixing little problems. That done he decided that we'd remodel our bathroom, for Christmas. Friday morning I woke up at 5 am and decided to clean out the bathroom, That done it was a trip to Home Depot with a friend Scott to pick out the tile. The tile picked out, and all the supplies bought it was home and time to rip out the vinyl flooring....

Have you ever noticed that a home improvement always has a surprise or two... well the shower door has not closed tight since we moved in and the result was this floor issue, so it had to be cut out and replaced.

That fixed it was onward ... Next it was time to lay down the board that goes under the tile

In the mean time ... I have been working on quilting my Hunter Star quilt for a week and a half, funny me I have three queen size quilts I had hoped to have quilted for the quilt retreat that starts on the 20th. Granted a bit lofty a goal when you are the retreat chairman. And have received over 40 registrations in the last week and a half, trying to get all them on the computer, Get the teachers informed so they can inform the students, get rooms reserved for said teachers, Talk with Gary, hotel manager about class room needs, as well as all other arrangements, vendor's finalized, vendor areas measured, talking local businesses into donating awesome door prizes, and setting up a masseuse to give neck and back massages at the retreat. I have got some helpers but I will be less stressed out in February.

So between quilting I am undercoating the house, trying to get the house cleaned a bit, an planning my Beehive training meeting on Sunday. So what am I doing with all my free time you ask???

Well Ron decided that maybe we should paint as long as we had the bathroom all undone So it was back to Cedar to pick out paint, so he could get it painted before he ran out of steam. We picked out a light beige color. So we were on our way home right.. No silly we went by the hospital to visit one of the young men, His Birthday was yesterday turned 16 years and had surgery, to have cancer removed from his neck. Kinda sucks right, Well Eric is a real trouper, keep him in your prayers. He had to be in the hospital at 8:30 am so he went and took his drivers test on the way. Yes, he passed. Anyway after we visited a bit it was 7 Pm and so stopped to eat and by the time we got home you guessed it the ambition had left the building. Which brings us to today...

Up at 6:30 am and ready and off to St George, we started at the temple, then it was off tho my block of the month class, followed by stopping at 3 other quilt stores to get fabric, for the classes I'm taking at the retreat. And while their getting door prizes from said shops for the retreat. Ron even got to stop at Sportsman's warehouse briefly. We stopped by DI for some jeans for me and then it was to the Panda Garden for lunch. Oddly enough we were headed home by 2pm. And yes Ron got the bathroom painted. It looks great.

As for me I got three more registrations, Had to contact three more teachers, THANKS JEN you saved me much stress, and countless hours by walking me through creating new files and e-mailing them. I got the second section done on my Hunter star so now have one more section to quilt and than the borders and binding yee-haw light at the end of the tunnel.And I had time to update my blog and read your comments. By the way the gloves help me grip my quilt better, so no we are not living in sub-temperatures funny girl. Tune in for updates on the bathroom, and my run for the crazy room on the 7th floor.
