"What's Happening?" you ask?

Knee deep in construction again--

getting the living room, dining room, hallway, and kitchen painted
removing the old wall unit for the heater
having new baseboards put in

It is a huge job. It will be four days tomorrow (there's only two of them), and I PRAY that they get done tomorrow. Originally they said it would only take two days, but the spackling took forever (especially in the kitchen), and the weather did not cooperate, lol!

The last thing on the list that we have to hire someone for is to do the wiring for lighting in the kitchen, dining room, and electricity to the garage.

THEN I'M DONE FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!

Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely grateful that we have the opportunity to make our house a home and help it live up to its potential. I thought it would be years before we would be able to make any improvements. But I am tired of the clutter everywhere, tired of all the dust, and biting at the bit to put stuff on the walls and decorate for Christmas ... again! :)

Speaking of which, maybe I'll post a few pictures of when we set up the Christmas tree. Maybe tomorrow. And by special request, I'll post some of Ashley's pics of Italy, but she has to tell me what they are, lol!

All gifts are bought except my husband's. I can never come up with something good.

Ta Ta for now!

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 :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
