What Was I Thinking???

I’ve been telling Mike for the past month that we are done with projects for this year.  Then, Mike decides to paint the bathroom.  Well, I did it again, I decided to have our carpets cleaned in the front room…  Why???  It was another project…

Our empty living room, minus the two chairs we were having cleaned.

Our kitchen, now a storage area…

Caroline, always the good sport, was relegated to the back porch yesterday.  We had two small space heaters running and I must say, the back porch was mighty warm yesterday afternoon!

I am sure that I will be grateful for clean carpets once we have the living room put back together today, but honestly, I’m dreading moving the furniture back in the room.  I am just sick of projects!

Bookin’ It Book Club

Mike was invited to Blanding’s Bookin’ It Book club this morning to discuss his novel.  He was GREAT!  It was so fun to watch him talk about this novel and then have Kay Jones interject comments, as she’d read the novel.  Kay definitely understood what Mike was trying to communicate.

Afterwards, they had a luncheon, as is tradition for their group.  It was fun and Mike even sold three copies of his novel, even though he told everyone, “I would just prefer that you check it out of the library.”  Thanks to Kay Jones for inviting Mike to participate!

The “P” word…

I mistakenly mentioned to Mike last week that next year, I’d like to paint our bathroom.

Mike decided he wanted to get it over with…  I couldn’t bear to watch, especially because I still haven’t completed painting the trim in the entry way!  (I’m still suffering from painting burnout!)
