This morning the electrician showed up at 8am to begin installing our vanity light and ceiling fan. He started with the bathroom as that was the most complicated. Not only did he have to move the light over in the wall, he had to rewire the bathroom in order to give the vanity two different dedicated switches since the light had not only the regular vanity light but also a top night light. While he was still working on the finishing the vanity light, Tina and Harper showed up for coffee time. Shortly after they arrived, Dino and Stacey both pulled up. We all made some coffee (decaf for me and a bottle for Harper) and then sat down to chat.
The electrician finished the ceiling light pretty quickly and left so we all went to take a look at the new nursery light. It had only taken us over a year to decide on a ceiling light for the nursery but I'm glad we took our time because it's perfect! It's a surfboard ceiling fan, but not a cheesy kiddie looking one. It's very classy looking and even if we changed the decor in the room in years to come, it could easily stay in there and go with other things as the surfboard blades are solid wood and very subtle surfboards. After Tina and Dino left, Stacey and I decided to go pick up my car which was ready from the body shop and go grab some lunch. We finally settled on Big Thai 2 for lunch. I ventured out of my norm and got sweet and sour chicken. While it was good, I think next time I will go back to my usual entree.
We spent the rest of the afternoon doing some shopping, primarily at Michael's. Originally, we went there to pick up the artwork Marshall and I had framed, but we ended up walking out of there with a cart full. Stacey bought a bunch of cake decorating utensils and I found some stuff I needed for my latest craft project - making breast feeding door hangers. I figure the way things are around my house, people could just drop by and I was definitely not okay with people walking in on me breast feeding. I am an extremely modest person and I am not okay with people seeing my breasts, whether I'm breast feeding or not. I had found some cute ideas online for breast feeding signs and I decided I could probably make them myself. I found some wooden door hangers at Michael's and some paint. I was also looking for a wooden cow cutout or sticker, but was not able to find one at Michael's. By the time we left Michael's we had worked up enough of an appetite to make a pit stop at Fuzzy Peach for some frozen yogurt. After yogurt we decided to swing by A.C. Moore to search for the cow cutout. While we didn't find a wooden cutout, we did find a foam sticker that will work. It was nearly 4pm by this time so we headed back to my house so Stacey could make her way over the bridge into Leland before traffic got bad. Plus we were having American Idol night at her house and she still had to figure out something to cook for dinner.
I spent the rest of the afternoon working on my baby signs. I got the two wooden door hangers painted a solid color and started painting on some of the letters. I was only about halfway done when it was time to head over to Stacey's for American Idol. Stacey made one of my favorite dishes of hers - steak and fries salad. Dinner was delicious. Shea was finally able to join us for AI night as she was finally over her cold. I have to say I was rather underwhelmed at the girls performing tonight. In fact, I was so bored with most of them I started to fall asleep by the end of it. As soon as it was over I had to leave as I was quickly falling asleep. It was a busy and long day and I was glad to get home and be able to turn a movie on and crawl into bed.
