same ol', same ol'

I still feel like I haven't had a substantial post in quite some time. Perhaps the 10 on Tuesday is ruining my other potential posts. It helps me come up with things to write but then I write nothing else... Oh, who knows.

"So what's been going on?" you ask. Not much. Same ol' traveling nonsense. Back to Shreveport today. (If you now feel compelled to come to my house to steal, please at least weed a little before you go.) Work has been busy and won't settle down for awhile. I had a good mid-year review. And I'm presenting at our national gathering in October.

The leisure activities are a bit jam-packed as well. I have a ridiculous amount of Astros tickets (long story) so if you're interested in any extras, just let me know and I can include you on a mass email. I've had family gatherings and baby showers and will have friends in from out of town. There's the singles' thing at HMNS. The celebrations of The Brother's engagement. Weddings. I'm exhausted and some of it hasn't even happened yet.

The house. Hmmm...I got a new rug for the living room. It's the one I've liked for months and was about 60% off the other day. Woohoo! It looks great. The guest room can actually function as such. There are a few other decorative odds and ends. The new back stairs. The sunroom/craft room is in various stages of disrepair. Yesterday you could see sunlight through its floor for awhile. I just ignored it because, let's face it, that's freaky.

I have 3 1/2 weeks until vacation.

I think I've finally made a computer decision. Hopefully I'll have time to get it on Friday. I can't believe I've made it this long without a personal computer.

I also can't believe it's August. I feel robbed of summer because of all this rain. The yard remains a mess although we did make a tiny bit of progress the last few days. Time just goes by so quickly. I'm going to have to stop saying things like that because then you'll know I'm getting old...

The fact that you saw sunlight at all these days is pretty freaky, let alone thru your floor!

BTW, while you're in Shreveport? I'm moving into your house.

Sounds like you've been plenty busy!! I am with you about summer. Tulsi would say that time goes by faster when you're not in the moment. *sigh*

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
