So, here is a quick synopsis of the last week. I am trying to use my summer schedule (which is typically much slower than fall through winter) to organize the house. You know all the drawers and closets that go unattended and unsupervised all year long until you are frantically searching for the pinking scissors that you just know you have some place but can't figure out where? Or, the pantry which is packed full of food you didn't even realize that you bought........last year? (I have been know to re-cycle holiday candy assortment from one year to another. They don't expire, right? And everyone needs to re-cycle to help our planet!) So, I have made it through the kitchen and a couple of closets and various drawers in the house. I am saving my closet for last and if you saw it you would know why. It is a work of art to arrange that much in a such a small space. However, I think it needs to be done sooner than later due to the sagging clothing bar which is a day away from snapping and the house of shirts to come falling down. Does anyone really have closets that look like the ads? I am also working on our little one's room. It is painted. Well, it has been painted several colors but I think we will stick with this one. It is nice shade of sea foam blue with a twinge of green. Very spa-like and relaxing. Her window valances came in yesterday and I couldn't wait to get them ironed and hung. I think the only purchases for furniture we have to make for her room are the crib, a small rug, and perhaps a comfy sitting chair/glider. We have decided to wait to purchase the crib once we have our referral. Speaking of referrals, things have been eerily quiet the last couple of weeks which I think is a good sign. Surely, we will hear some good news soon even if it isn't our turn yet. What else.........we are getting caught up on our movies. The last couple of nights we had a "Godfather" marathon (nothing on tv during the summer). And I have follow-up plans for major Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro this weekend. Oh, and we have caught loads of bonita this summer on the boat. As we are battling to reel the fish in my husband always being the optimist says "but they sure are a good fighting fish" and then we drive to the local fish market for supper. Continue to have a glorious summer filled with lots of sunshine, friends, and family!
