A Little Background...

A woman I work with recently told me not to undertake more than one traumatic life experience per year. A traumatic life experience would be a wedding, buying a house, having a baby, things like that. This year, I've managed to do everything but have a baby. I got engaged last November to be married this September, bought a car in February and bought a house at the end of March. I love the house and it's in a great neighborhood with a park right around the corner, but it needed to be painted on the inside from top to bottom. (I'll try to post a picture for reference). Who knew that such a painting job would take weeks? Just about everyone but me. All this on top of planning a wedding.

I'm having a hard time having fun with the whole home improvement process. Somehow, I've got it in my head that we have to have all the painting done before we get the floors refinished in a week. Yes, I'm sure it's tecnically possible, but it'll kill us first. Yes, we run the risk of getting paint on the newly refinished floor if we aren't done, but as my dad said, in 15 years, is it really going to matter? So my goal today is to paint one doorway and door, then clean the brushes and leave.

First, I think I'll go to Target. They've got some awesome skirts I want to look at.

I'm reading Bleak House by Dickens. It's long, but it's a murder mystery! So far I'm actually enjoying it. I'll post a review when I'm done.
