"For Sale"

wednesday

I finally finished my door piece

the really neat button bouquet Tricia gave me

for my birthday (I always wanted one)

Day at Disney..it really is free on your birthday

but only in 2009
me and MomI'm a castle freak, love castles Minnie's house
I (we) rode Thunder Mountain

Jesse acting 'cause she said I need to ride a "real" roller coaster
I (we) rode splash mountain

going around the corner in the above picture,

another log came down this right when we went

by and completely soaked us.

I looked like I'd gotten in the shower with my clothes on.

I was wearing jean capris so I was wet the rest of the evening = not fun

the anticipation of it all....

remember I love castles and this one comes in purply pink

... and blue
fireworks from the parking lot cause I didn't want to be in the

crowd that flows out after

the only problem was the monorail track blocking part of my pictures
fun day!

sunday

clouds outside - everyday it rains - something I like tiny cupcakes, unfortunately hard to eat just one

heard of "pimp my ride", well this is "pimp my dog"

a very different peice of art I'm working on

I forgot to take pictures

We had a family cookout yesterday kind of a late 4th

celebration. I forgot to take pictures. This past week

working on the kitchen and trying to get everything

done I just kind of ran out of steam by Saturday.

It was a nice time but missed Corey, Christopher, and

Trish. The only thing I have a picture of

(because Chuck took it) is the new grill

he bought (you get what you pay for)

caught on fire. Oh well.

nooooooo

Jesse started another project I didn't want to get

involved in right now. Chuck wants to have

a family get together here tomorrow and I need to

get ready for that. Soooo.. I guess she's on her

own but where will the dresser go while everyone's here?When Jesse's home (she's living here now)

Millie won't let her out of her sight. She really

loves her.

this is a working summer

what the kitchen looked like before (bad picture) but just to see the difference, Beadboard is

an all day project but I'm liking it.
I know I was supposed to paint first but Chuck is off right now and
I couldn't do this part without him. Today we are taking off. It's his

last vacation day so we are doing something vacationey - like get out of town.

Don't know where or what but rest and relaxation are required this day!!!!

Happy 4th of July

We had a very laid back 4th this year. No cooking - just hotdogs.

Chuck decided he wanted to have a family cookout next Saturday. I

think his internal calendar is about a week off but that's ok.

Bobby brought fireworks over for us to set off.

Love fireworks! Thanks Jesse and Bobby!!

The moon was pretty spectacular.

YAY!!! I'm almost done!!!

The dining area beforegetting there almost done just a few tweaks left
my livingroom is finally almost done but in reality it may
always be "almost"

trying to get Millie to walk

what we do when we're supposed to be painting and don't want to

surprisingly the dog I thought wasn't too smart is the one who could do it

Chuck's new antenna ornament

just a small part of my "to do" list

#1 list car on craig's list to sell #2 finish prepping and paint the rest of the livingroom walls
#3 list china on craig's list to sell
some of this stuff is really old.

I actually saw the teapot that goes with

this set in an antique shop for $400.

#4 strip wallpaper in kitchen and paint and rearrange
(seriously thinking bead board, smack over wallpaper, yeah)

hmmm... maybe refinish china cabinet while it's empty

maybe if I get to it - refinish pink chest

stain really cool lamp I got at garage sale that Tricia found for $7

awesome solid wood lamp works great in my livingroom

figure out what the heck to hang on this wall?????????????

Today was my day to drive for my church school.

OMGosh how do people do the job of child care for several hours in a day?

Maybe it was the heat, no AC bus and taking them to a putt putt

and following them around while they played (and a few

hit some of the others with their putters - I know they didn't mean to but how

many times do you tell a kid to keep it, their club, on the ground

and not in the air swinging it around????)

Seriously, I enjoyed it but it totally wiped me out. Haven't been able to get

anything done since "cept this. Guess that's enough!

Nice weekend

We went to a friends for Chuck to check out their AC unit, just to tell them it needs cleaned badly, then to Perkins for breakfast (extremely rude waitress), and to the movies to see Transformers. Chuck liked it better than the original. I think I liked the first one better.
Jesse and Bobby stopped by for dinner before they went to see the movie.
Sunday, unfortunately didn't make it to church, miscommunication. Corey and Christopher came over in the evening for dinner, actually to show us their new car. Very cute, Hyundai Accent, supposed to be Corey's car. Drives like mine only better and nicer and actually a little larger on the inside. Forgot to take a picture (just like with Trish and her new car), next time.

Going to try to finish the livingroom this week and start working on the kitchen.

Tuesday I'm driving for the church school but it looks like it may be rainy so they might cancel. They are going to a putt putt - we'll see what happens.

I gotta get some stuff on Craig's list too, even the Camaro.
Busy week!

tick tick boom

The other night I asked Chuck what the tube

thing on the wall was and could I take it off.

"Sure," he said and proceeded to rip it off the

wall and a huge piece of wallpaper. I was planning on

starting on the kitchen sometime this summer but not yet, pooh!! But it really does look bad and seriously needs to go.
