Update from the land of the proverbial project

Remember last week when I talked about the latest pipe debacle? And how I made a list about the projects we've decided to undertake as a result of having the room cleaned out?

Well, we're making some progress. Probably the most difficult phase of any project is agreeing upon/deciding what to tackle this time. And we've done that.

Our list now includes, in addition to the original:

Replace kitchen faucet. (ours started leaking two days after the pipe debacle..wtf???) But this is cool because we're installing a better one anyway. That has separate hot and cold water handles and a higher arch on the faucet itself so we can get big pots and pans under it more easily. Yay!


Remove carpet from hallway.

Lay bamboo flooring in hallway.

Refinish hall walls.

Paint hall walls.

Replace old, large, cumbersome queen sized bed with ours.

Buy a new bed for us. (Unexpected in the scheme, but it will be cool and ours will look pretty against the bamboo floor which has yet to laid but will be...soon...)


Replace old white blinds with bamboo blinds...


A few more to do's/items, but overall ok.

I just want to get the fun phase going. The part where we see progress and not just focus on the repair work from the stupid pipe.

But I've never been known for my patience.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
