I need it!

That's right people, I need it, but I can't have it. I need to work out. I am so bored and just over not doing anything when I get home from teaching summer school. Ugh, I don't go back to the plastic surgeon until July 9. That day can't come soon enough. I am hoping that he will release me to workout then. I would start walking, but if I do too much activity, my arms start to ache. My arms are still pretty swollen around my elbows, especially on my right arm. There is good news though, my scars are fading in some spots. It's weird because it's in the middle of the arm!
Right Arm

Left Arm
This is my left arm. You can see where I am swollen.
You all now have seen my bra! Ha! No biggee I guess.


Anyway, I am getting better. I am feeling more confident. I wish I could wear regular shirts now, but I have to still wear compression shirts. Oh well, I look awesome in a few weeks!


Because I have been so bored. I have spending a lot of time on Pintrest. I really should be reading the books that I assigned  for summer reading, but alas, I am a procrastinator.  


Sidebar-- Alex Trebeck is 71? The dude on the Channel 5 News just said "The 71 year-old Trebeck is recovering from a mild heart attack..." Really, Alex is 71. I thought he was in his late 50's....


OK, I am a procrastinator...


I spend my extra time on Pintrest getting inspired. So, I have done three DIY projects this weekend. 


Project One: New pole for my patio umbrella. Last summer when I moved from Dave's into this apartment, my pole somehow was misplaced. I have been unable to use the umbrella. I priced a new one and it was sixty bucks. Really? Mine is basically new. So after speaking with a few friends, I decided to fix it myself. After spending under $10, Wala! 
Supplies:
a PVC pipe
small saw
sharpie
measuring tape


    






There you have it!


Then, I decided it was a good weekend to paint my old curio cabinet. It was ugly.
Project Two:
Circa 1985, right? So I headed back to the hardware store and  bought primer, paint, and paint brushes.


 After priming, I started to paint it the purple bought, but it looked like shit terribile. So back to Lowe's I went. I picked up some Black High Gloss and painted two coats.
Here's the cabinet after one coat.
Project Three:
Spray painting my Shepard Hooks. I didn't take a picture, but the hooks are now bright purple, teal, and yellow. Very cute!


I have been a very busy lady this weekend! I also went on a date on Friday and saw a movie on Sunday. Whew! All that makes for one tired lady! And with that, Good Night!
