(Some of) You Asked For It ... You Got It!

Funny how you're more interested in seeing my messy house than my quilt, but, being the kind-hearted, generous person that I am, I decided to oblige you :) Lucky you. This is my contribution to you feeling less guilt.

This is my living room this morning.

This is my kitchen this morning (after my husband very kindly rinsed the dishes and stacked them next to the sink last night).

This is my craft table.

Do you ladies feel better now?!

Well, I'm sorry, I just couldn't leave it at that. So after Ashley and I picked up everything, I took some "after" photos just to redeem myself ... because I have been working very hard the past few months at not having a messy house (and I'm so excited because I'm actually at the point now where I can't tolerate it messy for more than 24 hours. Yeah me!).

So these are the "After" photos:

of my living room:

my kitchen:

and not the craft area 'cause I haven't actually cleaned that up yet. And I may not get around to it till we come back. And that's okay!

I hope to post about two more things before we leave tomorrow morning. So check back!

And just one more thing: I can't wait to see your messy bedroom now, Teena ;) lol!

Wow...that is soooo not messy. When I get the courage, I will post some of my sins too. I bet I can find some good ones of the bathroom floor with all of the little brown curly hairs on it.

Feb Year In Review Layouts

Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
