All in One Night

What did I do last night?? I did a ton of stuff. I don't think I even sat down until I laid down in bed at like 11:30! Last night, Josh had a church missionary meeting and I had too much to do. Here is the list of things I did:

1.) I did the laundry! Doing laundry in an apartment with no washer/dryer is difficult. Luckily there is one on each floor of our apartment building, but it cost $1.25/load to wash and then a whole to dry. We are so cheap, that we just hang dry our clothes in our apartment; we save A LOT of money doing this, but it is also such a pain in the butt!!

2.) I cleaned our apartment! Now, I know this might not look "clean" to everyone because there are still little stacks of papers and other things, but you should have seen it before I cleaned. I vacuumed too! The carpet was pretty dirty!
3.) I made my mom's FAMOUS and FABULOUS sugar cookies! Yum!!! They are soooo good!!!

4.) I made strawberry jam! I can't wait to eat it! Yum! And as you can see....strawberry jam + sugar cookies+ small kitchen=BIG MESS. But that's fine, the kitchen was a disaster before anyways. So I did clean the kitchen afterwards too

I got home from work at about 6pm last night and did all of this in about 4 hours! There are plenty of things that I want to get done, but I was just too exhausted! I wanted to be able to clean the bathroom, clean the kitchen floor better than I did, put away ALL the laundry (some of it didn't get dry last night), clean the bedroom, and pack (we are going to Indiana this weekend! WooHoo)! I am actually very happy though that I was able to get so much done in one night. But you guys are probably thinking that I am crazy (and I would agree) and wondering why I decided to do ALL of this in one night after working for 9 hours! Well I do have reasons, and for the most part, they are good reasons. If I were to sum it up in one word, it would be PROCRASTINATION! For those of you who want more of an explanations, read on...

1. I HAD to do the laundry. I absolutely hate doing and therefore put it off until either Josh complains he has nothing to wear or I get tired of wearing all the clothes that I only wear when I have no other clothes. In this case, it was me tired of wearing all my "ugly" clothes (or the clothes that I don't like any more). And since we are going away this weekend, we needed clean clothes.
2. I cleaned the apartment. Our apartment really needed some attention. This last week, Josh and I have been really busy every night and have just thrown everything in the living and it was bad. I HATE leaving for a vacation, even just a weekend vacation, and coming back to a dirty house! It just stresses me out even more and it's so nice to come home to a clean house! So, since we are leaving right when I get off work today. The apartment HAD to be cleaned last night!
3. I made sugar cookies! I was actually going to make this last weekend, but I got too busy. They have been on my mind though and sounded so good to me. I also wanted to have something sweet that Josh and I could snack on on our six hour car ride! So, yes I HAD to make sugar cookies!
4. My sister-in-law, Ashley, did a post this last week abour her homemade strawberry jam and it made me CRAVE it! I bought strawberries for it this week since they were on sale. And the reason why I HAD to do it last night, is because the strawberries were starting to get a little mushy and I knew they wouldn't last through the weekend. I decided that I needed to make it before we left. I can't wait to actually eat some of it! Hopefully it will trun out good. I've never done it before.

So those are my reasons! I am really excited to get away for this weekend! We are going to Indiana for Josh's cousin's baptism! We are really excited to see them! I haven't seen them since they moved from Oklahoma! Have a great weekend everyone! Wow that was a LONG post and it only covered one night!!!
