I feel like I didn’t get anything done today because the flooring in the dressing room still isn’t in. That said, I haven’t be sitting around!<\/p>\n

The weather was beautiful so I took everything out of my large pass-through compartment, set aside things I want to donate, and then loaded up one of my large RubberMaid tubs with all my cold weather gear.

And how many people don’t know what such a thing is? It’s a tall, skinny dresser. Guess where I’m going to be putting it.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
