Holiday Monday

Monday again! In case you've missed the last few Manic Mondays, every Monday (well, usually!) I pick 4-5 recent moods/ emotions and explain them!

1) Excited - The desk and matching side table/ file drawer looks great in the apartment! It feels so nice to have some of the papers moved off the kitchen table and more organized on the desk. I still have to make a trip to an office supply store, but we're making improvements here! Big thanks to pops for his patience with installation! Pictures to come soon!

2) Marvelous (I think I just picked this word because it starts with an 'M'.. and so does Monday!) - so nice to have a long weekend, especially this weekend so I can talk to my hubs as much as possible before he travels far, far, away! I will admit that I have not reflected on the reason for the holiday, nor posted my favorite MLK quote on facebook - which seems to be the current way of proving that you're respectful and appreciative of the holiday Monday... Maybe next year.

3) Cat-minded - I've been very productive with my Monday! Started off by taking Fiv to the vet. The vet recommended all sorts of things to try and buy, so I've been all over town checking those items off my list! Time to get this cat healthy!

4) Crafty - OK so I feel like I'm exaggerating by calling this project "crafty", but I guess it is! I created a flower arrangement for my new desk! I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up 3 stems of fake flowers (currently on sale for 50% off) for a grand total of $3.17. You see, I recently acquired a neat glass jar mom had that used to be her mom's and I just knew I had to turn it into a vase! After cutting down the long stems and arranging the extra leaves around the bottom of the vase, I'm the proud owner of a new desk accessory!

I'm especially loving the bright, happy yellow! It will be a fun project to update with the seasons as well!

5) Cable tv lover! Some of you know that I finally got cable! We're a couple weeks into it and it's such a nice distraction on what can be otherwise lonely nights! Some of my new favorite shows are Millionaire Matchmaker, Celebrity RehabBeyond Scared Straight, and of course my favorite Food Network shows!
