listening: Sara Bareilles Radio on Pandora
eating: nothing.  i just got hungry and had some crackers.
drinking: coffee with warm milk.
wearing: jeans, tank and a hoodie.
feeling: like curling up under the covers and taking a nap.
weather:  chilly - no swim practice today. 
wanting: a piece of coffee cake.
needing: to get the braces thing done and off my list.
thinking: about decorating Sofia's newly painted room
enjoying:  the fresh paint on the walls.
wondering: how long they will stay clean.


part 2 of our house project is underway.  now that we are all living in new rooms it was time to give the walls a fresh coat of paint.  sofia's room was blue and worn.  the living room had some cracks showing.  so we painted them a nice cream color.  now i have to get sofia's room put back together.  and then it's time to get her a bedspread and decorative elements.  she is very excited.  i'm hoping to get it put together and surprise her when she comes home from school on friday.


that's what we did over our 3 day weekend.  thanks to some help from tom and sue we got the taping and primer done on sunday and were able to make it to a pool party in the afternoon.  but that was our only break.


part 3 of the house project will be getting our room cleaned out and organized and hopefully finding a little craft area for me.  and jordan needs a desk, so their room will need some rearranging.


part 4 will be the exterior. paint and landscaping.  


other than that is just about as normal as can be here.  feels good.  here are some pictures from the first spirit assembly at the boys' school.  their theme this year is "ancient worlds."  so the school colors are purple, not sure you can tell that in the picture.

Jordan and his friend

i let sofia have the camera for a while and i ended up with 20 of these.

and some photos from our anniversary dinner.

the most amazing butterfish.

b and his lava cake

and our dessert. yes, we had 3 lava cakes.  they didn't tell us we were getting mini ones as part of the anniversary celebration so we ordered one.  it was hard but we finished them off and were very happy.

after dinner we saw "going the distance."  we were pretty disappointed with it.  but it had a few laughs.  we even took some pictures in a photo booth.  i can't pass those things up.  it was a great anniversary.


hope everyone is well.
