Spring clean :)

Soooo I had quite a nice weekend. I don't really remember Friday, so I assume it was good :) Though since Friday I've been missing my friend J alot because he's on holiday in Florida! He was complaining that nobody says Florida, and that they all say 'Florda'. But he's a bit like that. It's one of the things that makes me so fond of him, his strange little complaints.
On Saturday it was a gorrrrrgeous day, which it hasn't been for so long. Or that's what it seems like. I dithered for ages about what to do with it. I would have gone to the beach, but I was supposed to take my parents to the airport that night, and I couldn't be bothered to drive to the beach AND the airport, so I decided to go somewhere nice closer to home.
Me and J (the one who isn't in Florida) went to a massive park, and had a picnic. (I had sushi and mango, she had fried chicken and a nectarine. We're good girls for getting our five a day :) ) and we chilled out in the sun. It was fabby. We were watching this fair that was being held there, and all the little kiddies were singing along with this guy who was mic'd up, and it was sweet. There were millions of dogs too, including these crazy spaniels who all looked idental and were mad for this ball.
Then we drove around the corner to Argos to pick up a shelving unit that I'd reserved online. I wasn't sure about whether I liked it or not, but I needed something to house my dvds anyway, so bought it. Then we went for a drive around the moors near my house, which are stunning, and so easy to love when it's beautiful weather. We were trying to find my friend's memorial tree (it was only recently planted) but we had no luck. But we did see two signs advertising puppies for sale, which was good because J wants a puppy.
Aaaaaany way. I put the shelves together!! I was so pleased with myself. It took two kinds of screws, one sort of locking screw and two kinds of dowels! It looks really nice, and I can't believe it hasn't always been there now. Also, tidying and moving stuff to make room for the shelves forced me to tidy up my entire desk area. Which makes me feel really calm and relaxed for some reason. I really love it when everything's ordered :)
Though this niceness was followed by a huuuuuge argument with my mum, which culminated in her throwing 16 dvds at me. Fun times. But they're on holiday now so I have the house to myself :)
I like it this way. I like being housewifey. Doing the washing up, opening the curtains in the morning (or when I get up) locking up at night, having the whole house as my own personal space. It's lovely.
I'm so tired. Two hours sleep, and I have 3 hours of work left. Sob.
I'm going to go and make 101 cups of coffee now .............
