My Weekend Project: Sewing Room... Again

Sigh.  The one thing I hate about moving is setting everything back up again. The one thing I am very glad about is that the space is much bigger and I'll actually be able to set up my books.  I really hope I can get it done today!! This is my weekend goal. I was also hoping to mow the lawn this weekend but with the rain, well, I'm not sure it's going to happen.  We're the house with the ugly lawn right now. :-(

Home Sweet Home ... For Now

This weekend has been exhausting!  The boyfriend and I moved from our current apartment to a rental home. Yay!  But once again, we decided to move all of our junk ourselves.  Now it wouldn't be so bad if I was 6 ft. tall, 200 lbs and as strong as an ox but I am not.  I'm barely 5' 3 1/4'' and on a good day, may weigh in at a whopping 105 lbs. (that is if I had a Big Mac for breakfast).  BUT I am surprisingly strong for my size and this ain't the first time I've had to move all of our junk.  Our previous abode had a killer flight of stairs that we climbed to get our junk into the apartment.  So for a couple of people nearing our 40s and actually the boy is the big 4-0. We still got some spunk. We're definitely hurting right now, I'm not going to lie, but we got it DONE SON!

So, this is the new place:

Breakfast: Eggsellent Eggs!

Look at these eggs!! I was making scrambled eggs for breakfast the other day and of course used the eggs that I had bought from the farmer's market; I was so surprised that each egg produced a different colored yolk!  This is why I want my own chickens!  I was sad that I broke the yolk on the right, it was such a beautiful tangerine orange!  My big gripe with RVA is that they have anti-chicken laws. BOOOOO!!!

Weekend Highlights

It's been a good weekend!  No rain, lots of sunshine and cooler temperatures.  The trees here are just starting to turn and you can smell autumn in the air!  Here are some highlights:
Visit to the Farmer's Market:
I love farmer's markets.  It's one of the things besides friends that I miss about Los Angeles.  We went to the local farmer's market yesterday (second time for me and first for the boyfriend) and got our Mrs. Yoder's donuts (see previous post), which I have to say was pretty damn amazing. The boyfriend and I definitely fell off the diet train and got caught under the wheels and dragged along the tracks yesterday. That's how good those donuts were! I think our only real meal yesterday was at dinner when the donuts ran out. :-P

I also bought eggs at the farmer's market and got a nice surprise..... a blue egg with my dozen! God, I want chickens so badly! 

The Best Fresh Donuts Ever!

Mrs. Yoder's Donuts.  Three were eaten before we even got in the car.  Need I say more?

%$@! SQUIRRELZ!

Besides the weather starting to feel cooler and the leaves starting to change, I know it's autumn because the squirrels are burying their nuts in my potted plants!!!

I wouldn't mind so much if they wouldn't come right back and dig them up again and in the process destroy my plants!! 

My poor stonecrop was totally dug up!  Thankfully, they will just send out more roots and re-plant themselves but the little buggers dug up my petunias, too. :-(

AARRGGH! I'm glad we'll be moving soon!!
