Good start!

I started out today really well!
I awoke at 9am, which is NOT my normal wake up time on a weekend. I'm sure Ill regret it tomorrow. We'll see.
I started to sand my bed. For those of you who don't know, I'm a cheapskate. I refused to spend hundreds on a bed, so I perused Craigslist looking for the perfect bed. Then, one day when driving to work I saw a wooden frame for a twin bed on the side of the road ie; free! Score! It was covered in graffiti (Id kill my kid if he ever ruined his bed the way this kid did!), stickers and what not. But, thanks to the magic of sandpaper and a lot of elbow grease, it now looks fab! Anyway, I sanded it down to the wood, got rid of this tacky looking wagon wheel on it...and now I'm waiting for the first coat of paint to dry. :) AND, the best part about this project is its completely free! i already had the paint, and the sandpaper was free as well (dad has a supply, although I should probably replenish it!!) The only thing that is going to cost a little coin is I want to put fabric covered wood pieces on the headboard and foot board...just to give it the look of expensive furniture. That should run me about $20. Not bad for a bed!!!

After I sanded the bed, I washed it down. While waiting for that to dry, I made and enjoyed my breakfast Green Shake:
8oz soy milk
2 cups organic mixed baby greens
1/2 c baby carrots
1 apple
1 c strawberries
splenda

Thats 5 servings for fruits and veggies in one drink! Woo hooo!
Believe it or not, I didnt gag or throw up when drinking it. :)
Ive got a headache....caffeine is calling my name!!!
Natiiii!!!!!!!!
