Confessions of a Fitness Instructor

This morning my basement had a concrete floor.

Tonight (though dusty) it has a snazzy new laminate floor

While the room isn’t finished (it still need the trim, some electrical and some other finish work done) it’s getting closer and it won’t be long now until our fitness & media room is complete!

And I am perhaps foolishly hoping that this means that our new sectional which has been sitting right in our main doorway for the past month

(the other half is in my parent’s living room as we had nowhere to put it)

will get moved to the basement along with that big box on the right of the sectional (the surround sound speakers) as well as a number of other items that have been stacked up in our kitchen/living room to be out-of-the-way during construction.

I’ve been pretty bummed the past week or two that my Christmas Tree isn’t up (I just had nowhere to put it) but now I’m optimistic that I’ll be able to put the tree up tomorrow which makes me pretty excited!  I had intended to put the tree in the new room in the basement, but I”m pretty sure the tree is too tall for that room so we’ll have to put it upstairs after all.  Of course…I do have our old cheap-o 6 foot Christmas Tree still kicking around so it might make an appearance in the basement.

Needless to say after all that hard work Ollie was tired completely out

Poor muffin

It took until around 6pm to get the floor in so it was a late supper of lasagna and garlic bread.  As per usual my eyes were bigger than my stomach

So I’ll be eating the rest of this deliciousness tomorrow for lunch.  Perhaps to fuel a tree decorating

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend – anyone else hoping to get their tree up in the next day or two?  Normally mine is up on the 1st of December – I feel like I’m missing so much quality tree time!
