So, Michelle, what did you do today?

Funny you should ask!  I actually got up at 4:30 AM to meet with a running/training group at RunTex.  I am a slow runner so I quickly lost the group, but I did about a mile and a half.  Then I was at the office by 7:30 to cover for my co-worker.  Work was a typical day.  There was a new job posted for the office in our production department which I think I would be sooooo perfect for!  The problem is that before I change departments, I would have to be in my current one for at least 6 months.  Boooo!

The office had a fund raising event today.  We had a bbq (home cooked) with minimum donation of $5 (worth every bit), raffle and silent auction to help a lady that works for KW and is battling cancer.  We're trying to raise funds so that her family won't have to worry about the costs of living in Houston while she's undergoing treatment.

An amazing thing happened.  The lady who won the raffle for the most prized prize decided to not keep it and instead she donated it to the silent auction!  They stopped the auction for that prize an hour earlier than the rest of the items because it had an incredibly high bid and no one was really willing to top that.  This person won it and again returned it to the auction!  Finally when the auction ended, there was an ecstatic winner!  

KW donated about 10 Dell computers to the auction with keyboard and monitor.  I won one today for $50!!  It comes with XP and Publisher!  I'm so stoked as Cody and I have been so indecisive on a desktop purchase for a while. I can't wait to find out how much our office raised for this family!

When I got home from all this excitement, I was exhausted and took a nap then got straight to work on finishing the bathroom.  I had a lot of cleaning to do that was left over from the drywall dust and wallpaper glue.  Everything was a mess!  Now, the shower, floor and sink are clean.  The curtain is re-hung.  The rug on the floor.  Towel rods re-installed with pretty towels waiting for use.  The toilet is reassembled, light switches are wired to make sense of their use and there is a new pretty light fixture!  Cody worked really hard on those technical things and I did the detail work.  

There is some touch up painting that needs to be done and the cabinets, baseboards and door all need to be painted.  We also need to caulk the drywall next to the shower.  The counter needs to be different as right now it's Robin's egg blue.  We'll take care of that stuff some other day, though!  It does look really cute.  

I need to find a before picture somewhere from when we bought the house a couple years ago so you can see the difference.  When we get the right light bulbs for the fixture, I'll take a picture and post them.  Now it's quite late, but I knew you wanted to know what we've been up to for the past couple days!
