The things we’re doing

2 Comments

The weather has been just lovely here lately. We’ve been walking to the library and the playground, stopping along the way to pick up especially pretty leaves or to examine a flower or a bug or sometimes just a rock.

A very small amount of progress has been made around the house. Rockford put my plate display things on the wall over the weekend, and I ordered a loveseat from the internet. It arrived yesterday. It isn’t hideous, but I probably won’t order furniture online again. It’s smaller than I’d pictured it to be, and it’s much more blue than grey. But you can sit on it, and the living room was very much in need of something that fit that description.

Things I still need to do:

  • Decide on a paint color for the living room. It’s still primer white. I’ll probably go with something bright and neutral.
  • Tame the flower beds. The house has a very nice landscaped spot in front and a few flowerbeds around the sides, but they’re overrun with weeds. I’ve never done any gardening before, so I’m a little intimidated. I guess I’m just going to have to get in there and start yanking things out.
  • Finish unpacking. A resumption of unpacking would help. We still have quite a few boxes in the back of the basement, and I haven’t opened one in quite a while.

    • I know there are other things, but I keep getting distracted by the sounds of construction from next door, and by the breeze, and by the cat, and by paint samples. Which brings me to this: I’m having a hard time writing here lately. I’m hoping NaBloPoMo will pull me out of the writing funk. We’ll see.

    I think I just wanted to put something up here that wasn’t a menu plan, even though I can’t really think of anything to say.

    1. That first paragraph sounds awfully outdoorsy for you!

      We’ve been doing homeschool (while David destroys the house), decluttering and organizing (while David destroys the house), and painting (while David destroys Grandma’s house).

    2. NaBloPoMo!! I can’t wait :). While you may have felt like this post didn’t say anything, I love getting a little candid glimpse into your life!
