Ready for the Weekend

So it is gloomy here in Utah, which doesn't sound promising for the start of the weekend, but I think it's great. This weekend is General Conference (which I only know it is because last Sunday in Primary they reminded the teachers that we wouldn't have Primary next week and since its April I figured it was Conference. They didn't announce it in my ward at all. Maybe since we're in Utah we're just supposed to know or something?). I love Conference, especially up here in Utah because the BYU channel is on basic cable and we can just sleep in, make a big breakfast and watch it at home in our pj's. But, I'm hoping this gloomy weekend helps motivate me to stay inside and clean house. I have started a spring cleaning checklist, but that's not what I'm worried about yet. Kileen and I are hosting my sister's bridal (lingerie) shower at my house next Friday, so I have 1 week to get (at least) the downstairs spick and span. When Bryce asked me what we were going to do this weekend, I said, "Well, we need to get this house clean," which is what I say pretty much every weekend. He looked at me all frustrated and said, "The house is not dirty!" But, in reality it is a bit of a mess and I would honestly be embarrassed having 20ish girls at my house for a party with the way it looks right now. So, I have one week to get it perfect. Plus, I want to paint the kitchen since it is the only room downstairs that hasn't been painted.
