Painting

This Thursday our new carpet will be installed. So, what does this mean. Well, one would think it would mean this weekend we could put the basement back together. Oh, no-that would be simple and sane. Nope, I called MItch this afternoon and informed him we would be painting this weekend. I have always been a fairly spontaneous person, but I have gotten a little better over the years.
However, I sat there thinking-why in the world would we move everything back in place and paint a year or two from now- if it is already out of the way. Just do it now.
I know the reasoning is overwhelming.
So, the big question from the hubby was why I did not think to do this the past three weekends, when there was no carpet and painting would be easier and less hassle. Well, that would have been too easy and too predictable:)
So, this Friday night after work we will set out to Lowe's to pick out colors and spend the weekend(which is supposed to be cold, so it is good timing) painting. I am psyched!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Holiday Host

The Host and Hostess

As we get closer to Thanksgiving, Mitch and I are obviously thinking about Christmas. Since we are in our new home and have plenty of space to sprawl out family-we have decided to have our families here for Christmas Day. A little crazy. This means cleaning the house, guestrooms need to be prepared, decor needs to up, and we need to figure what to feed everyone. But, we think it will be fun being the host and hostess. And since Mitch has had so much time off and with great recipes from the firehouse, he has become quite the Mr. Mom-so dinner I am not terribly worried about. I just want to get the basement back to order. Christmas is almost here!!!

The Holidays

The beginning of November means so many things...
That crisp feel in the air, the one that lets you know winter is beginning...although it has been pretty warm so far. But, I am holding out for the change in the weather. The start of the decorating of houses(although we find X-mas decor before Thanksgiving a little annoying) Conversations of where and when you will spend time with your famil\y for the holidays. Crazy shoppers-they are out, because the stores are announcing their deals-ALREADY! You know longer need an excuse to have a fire burning whenever you want. You can add that extra blanket to your bed, making it even more a sanctuary that is hard to tear yourself away from on Sunday morning. It is time to start thinking about what to get your loved ones for Christmas. We always get a little giddy this time of year. Something I thought would pass after I was an adult. But, it still is a magical time for us...so I guess that makes me fell lucky. Holidays, here we come!
