What a weekend!

So lots of news. I think I already mentioned my new computer. Well the computer thing really got me set on some rearranging, upgrading and general spring cleaning. So Friday night to Sunday night thats just about all I did. I threw a LOT of stuff out, I made big piles of things to sell/give away and I got a new desk for my room.

See, I have been using the same old computer desk since the begining of time (well, the beginning of high school anyway) and my room right now is pretty small, especially with the TV, dresser and queen size bed. The old desk, while pretty compact and very convenient (shelves, cabinet, hutch) just took too much room all caddy-corner. See, the only reasonable space for nit was a corner and its a rectangular desk. So I decided to part with it and got a corner desk. This was no easy feat though. Every corner desk Ikea carriest was out of stock. Well there was one that was huge and it was the last one and one of the boxes was torn apart and I was too afraid peices were missing. So we checked out Target, nothing. Then on a whim we passed an Office Depot and went in. They had the perfect desk! My favorite feature was this 4-port USB hub built into the desk, so you dont have to have so many wires conming from the back of the computer. It's a corner desk with a hutch and I put the whole thing together myself (with help from wes). It really opens up the room. I am sooo happy! My new computer will look great in it. Now if you know anyone who needs an older desk and/or a love seat, and/or an odler digital camera, or an iSight . . .let me know! I will post a link once I get an ad up.


So it felt really good to get all this done. My apartment feels cluttered now, but once I get rid of things, it will feel better.

In other news, I didnt do any formal excersize this weekend, but I know I burned a lot of calories with my moving things, building, cleaning and organizing.

I admit it though. I totally fell off the wagon as far as my diet is concerned. I even had pizza saturday night. I have also started this bad habit of weighing myself almost every day. Friday I was down another pound, Saturday I was up two from that and this morning I was down two and a half. Weird! But I am not going to dwell, I will just jump back on the wagon and forge ahead. I hope to have lost 10lbs by this weekend.

I don't knwo if it's my imagination, but I swear my pants feel bigger today :)
