A Little Change
I know I'm so far behind, but I'll start with the new paint colors in the house.
The new kitchen in green.
The dining room.
The living room with the new entertainment center BEFORE the new colors.
The after shot.
The dining room wall.
The brown replaced the red in the living room and entryway.

The Great Purge
I am enjoying the feeling of utter exaustion from last week only because of the great accomplishment. We finally purged the house.
We have had a month of busyness with painting the house, selling the truck, wrecking the car, buying the Envoy, and the normal demands of life. However, it was finally time to use my new-found clarity and sanity reclaimation for the betterment of my home.
We purged the house of all the trash, all the unnecessary things in storage, and ALL of the things I had collected to "borrow" from friends and family. The result? After three-and-a-half years of living in my beautiful home, it looks decluttered and organized (DISCLAIMER: I didn't claim that the laundry was done or that I have found the secret in a bottle to an immaculate house with two toddlers...I just said organized).
With several days until trash day, we have to become creative with the trash of days to come. I have purged so much trash!!! But, it feels like a great weight was lifted just in time for company to arrive. It was well worth the five nights of late nights and week of long days to accomplish the seemingly out of reach goal of taking the house back from the mes

The Randomness Using the Space in My Head...
1. Is it really true that Oregon removed solitare from all government computers because it was taking away too much time from the workday? Because I could totally believe it! That game, in any form, is addicting.
2. What did Billy Joel really refer to as the "New York State of Mind" (Jen...maybe you could help me out on this one)? Maybe this song speaks to my feeling out of rhythm lately.
3. Does it bother anyone else that nursery rhymes are REALLY dimmented. I mean, come on, jumping over open flames, massive head injuries for doing what was probably an everyday chore, being baked into pastries alive...need I go on? I am not about to go into finding politicallly correct nursery rhymes or anything like that. I just don't get it.
4. The whole connundrum of Dave Matthew's singing the song about wasting time. One, I don't know that he has much time to waste. Two, he is about the only person who has enough money to waste time doing nothing for the fun. Can you really have fun wasting something? (My children would say yes after the duct tape episode of the morning) It seems like the guilt of wasting something would negate any pleasure I consumed from it. And, is Dave Matthew's really doing nothing, or is he really taking notes and writing a new song. I imagine it is kind of like a stand-up comedian or a preacher...everything is an illustration.
