Things have been crazy hectic for a while now – lots of thoughtless multitasking and then wondering why I’m standing in front of the open fridge, staring into the abyss. Things are still in boxes around the house from the roommate changeup; the art still hasn’t made it back onto the wall. Shelves are either entirely empty or totally crammed. The carpet in my room hasn’t seen the light for a long, long time.
I’ve just been feeling worn down by all of the running around like a crazy womanness.
So I’m really relieved to be having a productive, at home weekend. Trying to minimize the errand running. Checking a few things off my ever-growing to do list. Cleaning. Organizing. Putting away. Because at this point, leaving town and coming back to things the way they are wouldn’t feel very rejuvenating. There’s no way out but through. (Did you guys sing the Going on a Lion Hunt song when you were kids? Reminds me of that. “Got to go through it!” But I digress…)
It’s also been a long time since I did a house-related post, so I thought it would be fun to come back on Sunday (or even Saturday? I’m on a roll) with some photos from around the house, a little glimpse into my quiet weekend.
But for now, the back patio is calling me. Happy weekend!

I SO relate to this post! We recently did an “at home” weekend too. Of course, it was because they closed the freeway so we couldn’t go anywhere, but still, it got us inside and re-organizing for a bit. It makes such a difference… (and I love the “after” scenes up top!)
[…] funny that my last couple of posts were about having a homebody weekend, things being crazy, because they’ve only become so much […]
