while I was absent

I've been gone awhile. Not because nothing is happening in my life, just because I haven't felt the motivation to write about it.




So here is a little re-cap of the last month's events:

-I've been missing my family something fierce.

-I have painted. A lot. I wish I was done, but I have 3 rooms and a hallway left.

-I passed up a donut today. I had it squished in my fingers and I decided it didn't even look appetizing. Yeah, I don't know what's going on with me either.

-Yesterday, I saw a pack of teenagers running across the street with bows and arrows.

-In preparation for MEXICO I have been tanning a bit. My armhair is officially lighter than my skin. Break out the bubbly.

-Concerning the above: I tried a standing tanning bed. No thank you. It is not even a little relaxing to stand with my arms over my head while naked and wearing goggles.

-I was a fabulous wife and did all of husband's laundry. All 12 loads of it. He owns about 400 pairs of socks, my friends.

-I made an ice cream cake for husband's birthday. It was rediculous and wonderful.

-It is summer and I like it

-Summer brings some of these beauties:


I may have forced husband to turn around and drive down a different road just so I could look at them.

Are you interested in seeing some of the house projects I've been working on?

Coming soon, I promise.

say what? two days in a row?

What I am Thankful For, Part II


#1: External Hard Drives. I am now able to sleep at night without the nagging fear that some evil virus will steal all of the photos off our computer in the middle of the night.


#2: Getting my hands dirty.


We did yardwork this past weekend. And we loved it. I'm guessing that in, oh, another week or two, we won't love it so much, but after apartment living for too long, nothing makes me happier than piles of soil in my hands and pulling weeds.

Happy Spring, mateys!

I planted these! All by myself.

Blossoms!




Flowers!

A little preview:

I've been busy...
I'll give a tour of the guest room when it's ready for its internet debut. (Soon, I hope!)
