Alright Ladies, this blog is feeling a bit dismal of late. Of course this is due to all of us feeling as grey as the February skies. So, I thought I'd take this entry in another direction...let's focus on the great stuff we can accomplish on these frigid Feb days!
Congratulations to K who finally got her kitchen painted! I think most of us had painting projects in the works...anyone else making progress? I actually got 2 coats of primer on the ugly panneling in our basement guest room...it already looks brighter and more welcoming, if you can overlook the paint dribbled all over the carpet (J was "helping" me). Hopefully this weekend I can slap up some "String of Pearls" paint and pick out new carpet. The new duvet cover arrived in the mail this week, so I'll be set. We used to call this room "The Cave", so perhaps we'll need to find a different name once the project is complete.
My husband and I watched "Dreamgirls" this weekend. It is definitely a story of WOMAN POWER! Jennifer Hudson's performance was certainly worthy of her Oscar win. I sat on the floor, in the midst of a diaper change, completely rivited during her gut-wrenching song, "And I'm telling You I'm Not Going". It must have made an impression on L as well, as she belted out "No, no, no, no way..." later on!
In other news, Boards review is going well. The moon eclipse last night was amazing. And there are only 8 more days in February!

Thanks for that uplifting post, T. We've been cooped up here with the sniffles...and we're looking forward to Feb's End.

Right you are! The Jane Austen Club was a good pick-me-up, as was the new book I started, as was our early morning shopping spree to Giant Eagle and Big Lots today (really)--and the sun hitting my face this morning was utterly lovely when I awakened; so was Elspeth pulling up my shirt and chatting to Beatrix for a good while. What else? The girls both got hair cuts and can see now (I got a trim but it's not terribly exciting--I'm expecting new crackers from Amazon in the mail, too!) Martin's had a pretty easy week and we stuffed ourselves, by ourselves, with Japanese food on Monday night. And (drumroll, please--) Let's not forget Washington's birthday tomorrow--THAT is great cause for celebration, eh? As the Wiggles say, Whoopdedo!
I'll have to think on a new name for The Cave.
