Ooh - it's almost finished!!!

I cannot believe my to do list.

There are SO many little last minute details to finish up this project.

I've been down the hill to Lowe's a million times, it seems. (I don't shop at Home Depot anymore.)

The floor is in.

The backsplash is finished.

The trim is up.

The stove is back in the kitchen and the new microwave is installed.

Sink: done.

Dishwasher: hooked up.

Stairwell: painted.


What's left?
Caulk and putty the trim, then paint it.
The new refrigerator comes Monday or Tuesday.
Crown moulding and drywall patching.
Install pantry pull out drawers.


We're SO close.

I got all my extended family Christmas shopping done today. What a huge blessing that was - I found great stuff for everyone. (At least I think it's great. Here's hoping they'll agree.)

The first of the family arrives as soon as Thursday.

I think it's going to be a bit of a busy week.

Oh - and I'm as excited to post pictures as you are to see them - believe me.

Only a couple more days, friends.

It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well.
