june

Awhile back I realized what makes life (and blogging) interesting sometimes is the part of today that makes it stand out. What happened today that was different from any other day? Sometimes you are hard-pressed to find anything. Other days, it's simple.

So for June...
  • 4th: The Boyfriend's first birthday since we met.
  • 5th & 6th: Finally getting a grip on one of my new studies. Thank goodness for the help of kind co-workers...one whose job should not have included training me.
  • 8th: Went sailing on The Boyfriend's dad's boat for the first time. Also planted our tree babies. This was the first time I planted trees that I actually had to then take care of... They are both still alive and growing.

  • 13th: Last last day in Shreveport.
  • 14th: My first time seeing the Yankees play in Minute Maid Park. (Oddly enough, second time to see them this season.)
  • 15th: Fantastic day at the local winery--complete with tour, tastings, food, live blues, and dancing.
  • 18th & 19th: Finally getting a grip on my other new study. Praise tiny baby Jesus. I may dig myself out of this hole yet.
  • 22nd: The Boyfriend and I hung out first light fixture together. Oooh, ahhh. You know what that is, people? A chandelier in the potty. Are we high class or what? And it's on a dimmer. Can you think of a better idea? And the chandelier itself? I had picked this one out for this purpose months ago but the only one they had in the store was broken. Went in last weekend? On sale 75% off.

  • 23rd: Interviewing someone over the phone to possibly participate in one of my new studies. What makes this weird? This person was the same person who hired me into research years ago. I'd be reviewing her work.
  • 26th: Counting my lucky stars for my time off the road. A week and a half!

I am LOVING that chandelier, girl! I have always wanted something like that over my bathtub - but the potty? Brilliant!

After our little vacation, I have much more appreciation for business travelers!!

Does hanging a chandelier together progress you to the next step of your relationship? =)

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
