sometimes i get things in my head and i can't shake them until i do it. i've recently gotten into my head that i need to rearrange some furniture around the maxi pad. when i'd been talking to b on the phone yesterday afternoon we made a plan that he'd come over around 7 to help me move my things. however, when i got home, i started away and was long finished by the time he arrived. what did i do you ask?? well... i took my dresser (which was in an awkward spot in my bedroom, and moved it into the pink entrance room. i'd planned to place it in this nook bedside the closet, but it didn't fit. this did not surprise me because when i'd measured it i was too lazy to find my tape measure and just used my leg as a measuring stick. results are not completely accurate. however, the problem was that the wall was slanted. i was adament that i was going to make it fit, so i pushed, i banged, i wrestled, only to give up and come up with another plan. it seems i learned little from the incident with the facet, but i did stop before something broke. anyways, that new entrance arrangement is fantastic! i love having my clothes right beside the washroom, because i always change in there in the mornings anyways. and now that i have a washing machine they can go right into the dresser when they dry. so handy!!! AND this means that my room won't be ridiculously covered in clothes now. hooray! PLUS, i moved my filing cabinet into my room which is good because that's where i pay bills anyways. so it seems that all's well that ends well.
when b arrived he said "i see you've finished already". so i says to him... "brendan... something you need to understand about me is that when i decide i want to do something, i just do it". to this he responded by saying something about how not everything is up to me, or something like that... i'm not exactly sure, i wasn't fully listening :p
anyways, i'm SUPER excited about my newly tidy pad. i'm making so much progress. tonight i need to do some work in my bedroom, and do my dishes. after those things are done, i need to tackle the back porch because it's getting out of hand. just think... all this change is sparked by one little washing machine :D did i tell you that i'm getting an outside line installed this summer?? it's going to be so great, it's going to be up high connected to a door from my back porch. all my clothes will blow about in the summer breeze. i haven't had my clothes dry on an outside line since the early 90s! my neighbour ruth has a great laundry line, and i admire it so. i'll need to get some more clothes pegs because i don't have many. oh man, i'll be able to get one of those fabric clothes peg holders, this is going to be fantastic. i can't wait for summer!
it looks like today is going to be a beaut! so lovely.
sky over our head.

Ah, laundry! I love it! Especially outdoor lines high overhead. Last time I was at Jordin's, we moved all the kids dressers into the laundry room. Sounds similar to your new set up. Who says a dresser has to be in the bedroom anyway?
I also go ahead and do things as soon as they pop in my head, too. It drives Jase a bit crazy sometimes. Sometimes he's right - it's why I always have a million half finished projects on the go. Once I think of a new one, I just have to start it. It's one more area that we balance each other out on.
I still love having the dressers in the laundry room. And terribly miss my clothes line.
Getting things done when one is thinking of it is good. I get many things done that way. Although, my house never looked like it before. But now, it is really taking shape!
Oh I want a cloths line too! to go with my new front loading energy efficient washing machine! Dressers in the laundry room sound great but my laundry room is in my kitchen so I'm not sure that would work for me...sadly.
