Oh, the sweet feeling of accomplishment

Ryan and I came back from visiting his family in Kansas City for Thanksgiving Saturday morning and proceeded to have one of the more productive days we've had in a long time. In the course of our Saturday we:

• Made the four hour trip home.
• Picked up the dogs from daycare.
• Went to Ryan's bank and my bank.
• Gave Tuesday a haircut.
• Went up on top of our roof and snaked our air vents for the bathrooms to see if that would fix our downstairs toilet flushing issue (it didn't.)
• Cleaned out some of the gutters while we were up there.
• Put the sample paint color on the downstairs bathroom wall to make sure it would work with the tiles (we think it does.)
• Did all of our laundry.
• Touched up the trim painting in the living room.
• Painted the dogs' room. (Still need to touch up the corners and add the brown paw prints.)
• Put a new doorbell on the front door and disassembled the old one so people don't get confused (the second half of this technically took place on Sunday.)
• Measured the two sides of our yard that we would like to put privacy fence up on. Discovered it's about 155 feet total.
• Went to a furniture store to look at a small couch to add to our kitchen area for additional seating. (Found one we like.)
• Went to dinner at a new branch of a popular restaurant that opened nearby. It's supposed to resemble Chicago style pizza. It was just OK, but we're glad we tried it. 
• Went to the movies to see 2012. It had some good action scenes, but otherwise was just an OK movie in my book.
• Got home and collapsed into bed at about 12am.

It's simply amazing what all you can get done when you're motivated (and have the things you need already at your disposal!)
