Decided to take the day off from running after running the half marathon yesterday although I felt really good inspite of running on the roads so I finished painting the bathroom. I tried to do the wash paint effect with a light glaze but it just didn't look right so I decided to forego the special effect treatment and go with the standard painted wall at least for now. I also painted the trim white and it really looks nice. The wall color is a peanut butter color again a color that is a surprise to me but it looks nice with the shower tile. Tomorrow I hope to get the border put up and I think that will really give it a finished look. I'm not sure when Bob is coming to put the frame up around the mirror above the tub but it should be this week. Hopefully I'll have the border up before he gets here. Tomorrow the mirror and glass people will be here to give us a quote on a glass shower door and a large mirror for the vanity. I'm pretty nervous about that expense as it's not one we were planning on and money is running out.
It'll be a busy week as we're getting ready for the kids to come for dinner and the weekend. I'm really looking forward to Tate and Julie seeing the house and of course, to us seeing Ada. I think she'll love the house as she'll be able to really run around. I ordered her some Christmas presents and hope that they arrive before she does!
As far as getting ready, I guess the biggest thing I want to do is to decorate for Christmas although I'm not sure if that will include the tree or not. I'm kind of thinking that we could put everything out except the tree. That way it'll look Christmasy but not too much. I still have a little shopping to do but we have about everything. I want to buy new towels and mats for the masterbath now that we've settled on a color. It'll really help polish it off. A lot of sales (okay, Belks) going on so hopefully we'll get a good price.
I'm hoping to run Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as I'm sure that the rest of the week will be spent doing last minute stuff and then we'll want to spend time with the kids. We are planning on another 6 hour run on Sunday so that will make up for not running Thursday, Friday or Saturday. I'm not sure what we'll do with the kids while we're here but there are a few things going on so I'm sure we'll find something fun to do. We only have Friday as far as actually doing something, so it shouldn't be an issue. I'd like to go to the Horticultural Center at the college and show them around downtown Southern Pines and Pinehurst, if only driving around.
Hopefully I'll be able to cook a few things in advance so it won't be too crazy on Thursday but it shouldn't be too bad since I don't think anyone will arrive until early afternoon. I will make the deserts earlier in the week.
My goals for the week:
Monday - AM Run 6
PM Body Pump
Tuesday AM Run 6
PM Spin
Wednesday AM Run 10
PM Body Pump
Sunday AM Run 25
This is a little ambitious with getting ready for the Holidays but at least it's a goal. Bob may end up affecting it slightly but hopefully I'll be able to come close to my current plan.
