Well, painting is done! I've been busy busy!
Last Thursday, I left work early and headed to Hutto. I stopped for some Tex-Mex in New Waverly (it was alright, not the BEST but not horrible), and got to Hutto around 8:15 or so. I listened to They Might Be Giants almost the whole way. I have not listened to them in almost 20 years, and I don't know why!! They are so amazing. I made a playlist so I can listen to them more often.
When I got to Hutto, I went into the house and moved stuff out of the way of the painters and then just chilled in the hotel room afterwards.
Friday, I got up and let the painters in to the house, and then I went to Kohl's, then Target where I found a cute black and white striped sweater. It's almost too hot to wear right now, but I'll need it in CO! Did some craft shopping and then went to the Outlet mall because I need some more walking shoes. I found a great pair! I am proud that I was good and didn't spend a ton of money! Wanting to save for moving and not wanting to have to pack a ton of crap to move also helps with me not buying crap. I did find a Shaun of the Dead Funko Pop and YOINK! He is mine! I bought a book called Obitchuary that's about funny death facts. Can't wait to start it! I came back to the room, took a nap, and finished this piece by The Gloomy Gremlin!
I went back out to the house after and locked up after the painters left. They did an amazing job. I love our home so much. I cried like a baby. It's so beautiful and hard to say goodbye. I went out into the back yard, to see my beautiful lavender bushes that are thriving, and to sit on my patio furniture. My dad and Allen built this patio for us almost 3 years ago and now I have to say goodbye. They worked so hard on it... it makes me so sad. I put so much love and magic into that home, and now I have to leave. It's gutting. I'm about to start crying so I'd better move on...
After marveling at how amazing the house looks, I went back to the hotel and watched a bunch of TV, ate some pizza and was a fat slob in the bed all night. I had to let the painters in again Saturday to finish up. I went up to Lakeline Mall and they were having some big market thing. I got a Picard Funko for Allen. I went up to Leander for a bit to visit friends, then went back to the house to lock up after the painters. They finished up and it looked beautiful. I will REALLY miss this place.
On the way home, I met my friend Anja in Taylor to go over some wedding stuff, since I'm officiating her wedding. Then I went went home! I got home around 8 and then on Sunday, I spent some time with my parents. My mom LOVED the "Here for a Meh Time", cross stitch and wanted to know if I could do one for her in the same colors. So I'm gonna frame this one up for her and she can have it! I was just gonna put it in a portfolio anyway. It really meant a lot to me that she liked it so much.
That's about all for now, I think!
